They sort of did.

“Spock’s Brain” has been memed as the worst episode ever, one of the ones we pretend doesn’t exist.

My hot take is that it’s not actually that bad. It’s not a top tier episode, but it’s perfectly serviceable. The worst actual thing in the episode is the sound effect used for the medical device to keep brainless Spock alive. I’ll grant that. Otherwise, the central conflict is average Trek stuff. The scene where McCoy gets an ancient medical database downloaded into his brain is actually really neat.

I am convinced the legacy of an especially bad reputation of this episode is because it appeared on a few “Worst Episode” lists because of the personal taste of the authors and very few people actually watch TOS for themselves, but instead absorb it through articles. So it just became accepted that the episode was outlandishly bad.

To stream original content, you must first create the universe.

It took 75 Federal Marshals to guess this episode.

I appreciate the 1985 movie Creature, which shamelessly rides the coattails of Alien. The special effects, while done on a budget, are surprisingly good. Many details are very similar to the 1986 Aliens, because the effects designers for Creature went on to be hired to work on Aliens.

You probably won’t understand entirely what is happening in the setting, but it’s not like you fully understood what was happening for most of Shadow Of Chernobyl.

You play as a brand new character with no relation to the past games in STALKER 2.

If you can pick up on implications and make informed guesses you can understand the world well enough. STALKER games have always succeeded with atmosphere and vibes rather than tight plot.

to get Stalker 2 into a decent place performance wise across PC and Xbox Series X and S

Consoles, and bugs stemming from optimizing for consoles.

I remove Charles Sawell. Terrible President.

Truly they were an…aqua teen hunger force.

They replaced map specific factions with one type of each team (SAS vs Phoenix terrorists) globally in CS2. Which is pretty lame but probably makes it easier to theme buyable skins.

Skins, especially CT skins have long represented real organizations. The game isn’t coordinated with them.

CS:GO they’ve been the CT team for the Dust maps.

This game has an all time peak of 20 players. I don’t think it is exactly reaching a major audience. Pretty obvious it’s a quick low quality game capitalizing on shock value and politics over anything else.

I wonder if it is the best use of a counter terrorism taskforce to seek out a game at all, and such a small fry game at that. This smells of doing something just to justify somebody’s job rather than actually doing any public good.

Counter-Strike.

The ARX is undergoing mitosis and will soon split into two rifles. Very good for logistics.
