Internet Trolls Really Are Horrible People: Narcissistic, Machiavellian, psychopathic, and sadistic. | Slate

It seems like the second season is more interested in shocking plot twists than crafting long and rewarding storylines (like Russo's story in season one). I'm only two episodes into season two, but the writing seems to have taken a big nose dive. I hope it gets better.

Happy Birthday, siftbot!

Congratulations to dag and lucky for 8 years of *quality control.

Treme is not nearly as intense or dark, so adjust your expectations accordingly.

Totes. Simon's journalist background really sets his storytelling style apart from other shows. I bet the Emmy people felt more comfortable giving statues to people who cut their chops in TV than to a reporter.

Have you seen Treme? Same narrative style, but more upbeat and optimistic. Great music too.

Issy and I just finished this entire series last night. 10/10 - it's a brilliant doctoral-thesis-level analysis of the criminal justice system from top to bottom. This should be required viewing for every politician and every citizen that gives a damn.

Definitely one of the greatest things ever on television.

Congrats.

Wow. That's a serious amount of content. Congrats.

Great game. There were way too many unexpected plot directions for this to be considered predictable. Two of the things Yahtzee criticizes in this review (the psychotic nature of every faction in the game and the "I got mine" selfish ending) were directly related. In the end, SPOILER ALERT the inhabitants of this psychotic shoot-first world were not worth saving, or at least not worthy of Ellie's sacrifice, and the fact that Joel lies to her so she can't even consider making that sacrifice was a nice cherry on top. It was a gutsy, thought provoking ending. How often do video game plots make you ponder bigger questions?

Negative reviews are Yahtzee's schtick. If he started making positive reviews, no one would watch them.
