In a barely-colonial North America, a semi-savage man survives some harsh shit in search for a dude that did some stuff that he doesn’t like.

Slow and pretty. I’m certain this would appeal to some people, just not to me. It’s cinematic, outdoorsy, survivalistic, travelling, manly and all that. But it’s slow and nerve-wracking as fuck.

Based on The Revenant, by Michael Punke.
.. which is in turn inspired by the story of Hugh Glass.

A man stares into the sun as a child, and develops superhuman powers of math, pattern recognition with a side order of paranoia etc.

I don’t think this will appeal to most people, since it deal with topics only the fringe of humanity have any comprehension of. I happen to like it quite a bit, for reasons I certainly never hinted at in the previous sentence.

A ramshackle band of misfits find themselves aligned when they work towards parallel goals to save the land from the resurrection of the god of death.

Adequate. If you like orcs, one elf and one kickass dwarf, and if you can handle overacting, then this is recommended.

Properly titled Dragon Lore: Curse of the Shadow
Also known as SAGA: The Shadow Cabal
Also known as SAGA: Curse of the Shadow
Contains no dragons, dragon lore, lore .. and I don’t even remember if there was any sort of curse or shadows.

A secret organization scavenges alien technology.

Like Doctor Who, this series is pretty light. It seems good so far.

A spin-off of Doctor Who – (2005 show).

Perhaps she does other work, but I know her from her trance vocals.

With a strong talent for ad-lib, inflammatory rhetoric and confrontation, Patrice O’Neal is (was) a hilariously wrong comedian. He is deceased.

Patrice is astoundingly hilarious, though all too often it’s because he’s so offensive. I’d like to say he’s speaking his mind, but it’s impossible to tell, because a comedian crafts a fictional personality to present comedic material, and his is fantastic. He comes off as refreshingly authentic.

He’s been a guest for a bunch of radio shows, and he is worth listening to if you can stomach the awful hosts.

With a tenancy to dive into relationship territory, Patrice neither ejects nor leaves a skid mark trying to land. Instead, he explodes like a meteor, throwing up debris and setting everything on fire. He does not hold back.

Guild bounty hunters hunt bounties and stuff.

I like it so far.

I am reminded of Firefly – (2002 show).

A roguelike game with a tactical side to it.

I like it, but only played a little of it as this sort of game doesn’t seem to grab me any more. Definitely recommended for fans of this style of game. Don’t be put off by its graphics. Like a good book, the pictures are in your head.
