Gone Home was good, but I think half its impact was being one of the first big walking simulators and going into it having no idea what is was and thinking it was a horror game.

edit: Heavy Rain, and The Walking Dead Season 1, and Gone Home basically resurrected the adventure game into modern times from the dead and led to some of the coolest video game stuff in a long while.

Whose bright idea was it to give a goofy sitcom rear end title like "Council of Dads" to a drama show.

David cage is just impossibly terrible at self editing and ultimately is a hack, but when the studio puts all their might into stopping him and editing the poo poo out of him they’re able to pull off a decent story like Detroit l, which while unoriginal wasn’t bad and had good characters in it (especially the old grizzled officer). Let’s see if the studio can keep it up next game.

Also, if you wanted a true experience of how absolute dogshit David cage can be, look no further than the best friends play through of Omikron and Indigo Prophecy:-

Chris the producer told a story about some Australian tourists asking him where the Brooklyn 99 building was and then asked if it was safe to go in that direction (it was never stated outright but I understood the implication being: is it a black neighbourhood); Chris then bemusedly noted that it was funny that Australians would ask such a question. I hope this helps mate.

lol it is so insidious how they made the chris pratt character on parks and rec (also from michael schur, who did Brooklyn 99, I'm sure there's some equivalent in the good place too) AND the wilson character on the new girl become cops late in the run of those shows

I would put Schur up there with Sorkin and Rowling in terms of just... baffling weird adherence to liberal hegemony.

Schur’s saccharine, shmaltzy worldview is so problematic because of the way he just whitewashes every character in every show until they all behave identically like chintzy JC Penny catalogue models. Retta is the only thing even approaching diversity on the cast, since everyone understood the joke with Aziz to be “what if an Indian guy acted really, really white?”.

That said P&R is one of my favorite shows. I liked S2 of The Good Place but dropped off S3 immediately, and I’ve seen maybe 3 seasons of B99 (I really like the gay police captain a lot, that’s a very funny character).

There is no accepted definition of what constitutes art. Ebert apparently saw art as some kind of "seal of quality", which is a pretty strange view of what art is.

Nah The Good Place doesn’t have any cops or cop-adjacent people, and the Good Place committee from the later seasons are basically democrats who can’t get out of their own way.

The Chris Pratt character tried to become a cop but failed cause he was dumb. He then went on to be a children's tv show host.

Like if you wanna do dumb lib brain conspiracies about media at least get the lore right.

I was expecting more lib poo poo coming from Parks and Rec to the good place but The good place genuinely surprised me with how Ok it was.

Also Felix and Lucy on the new This is Sus talking about how good Gilmore Girls was was great because it was and I know how lovely it was but I love it anyway. Luke Danes could get it.
