Alex has finished Last Exile and takes the time to enumerate the show’s various flaws, shortcomings, and missed opportunities. I was glad to see I wasn’t the only one who thought the show left the viewer in the dark on too many occasions. Some of the omitted details were so fundamental that I was starting to wonder if I just wasn’t paying attention.
At the end of the post are a few comments (from visitors, not Alex) that are supportive of the show. I found these arguments to be unpersuasive, but it’s nice to see some people were able to enjoy the show despite its flaws.
Blistering Stupidity of Fallout 3
Yeah, this game is a classic. But the story is idiotic, incoherent, thematically confused, and patronizing.
Object-Disoriented Programming
C++ is a wonderful language for making horrible code.
Civilization VI
I'm a very casual fan of the series, but I gave Civilization VI a look to see what was up with this nuclear war simulator.
The Death of Half-Life
Valve still hasn't admitted it, but the Half-Life franchise is dead. So what made these games so popular anyway?
Lost Laughs in Leisure Suit Larry
Why was this classic adventure game so funny in the 80's, and why did it stop being funny?
What I thought was hilarious, was that when I started watching this show, I also began reading these blogs/forums/whatever you want to call it. So, I was at disc 3, when suddenly my friend calls me and says that was on disc 6. I didn’t even know he liked it, so I asked him how he liked the show so far. He said that he started watching it at 6 because it was the only one he could get his hands on. I don’t think I ever laughed harder than that one day.
