I enjoyed playing Witcher 3.

Defenders was just okay.

I'll give it a try.

@thunderforce - OMG yes! Start with the Icewind Dale trilogy then spin off into the Dark Elf trilogy. Drizzt is one of my favorite characters of all time.

I really love Power, but I'm surprised by the way season 4 ended. Pretty much in the middle of everything. It didn't feel like the end of a season at all. I hope the show didn't get cancelled.

Was thinking about this the other day. Really hope they nail it on an emotional level.

Like a whole season of short stories with Dandelion narrating them. The Last Wish and A Little Sacrifice being particular high points.

The Witcher 3: The wild hunt is simply one of the greatest game of all time. Just started with the books a while ago, good stuff. Bring it on Netflix


Evil is evil, lesser, greater, middling - makes no difference. The degree is arbitrary, the definition blurred. If I'm to choose between one evil and another, I'd rather not choose at all.

I am currently in the middle of discovering the witcher 3, so this gets me especially hard, just hearing them talk about it.

I played witcher 2 a few years ago and 3 sort of flew past my radar, but man, such a good game. You know me, dark and gritty is my jam. Geralt is easily one of my favorite characters ever.
