    I loved the endings to both Smallville and Star Trek: Voyager.

      Smallville (Reveal hidden contents)

    Spending 10 years with Clark and then finally getting to see him unleash his powers, fly, wear the suit (no matter how brief) and have the Superman music kick in was something very special.

     

    The only thing more shocking to me than that ending was the fact that so many people seemed to like it. I grew up absolutely loving that show, and then basically just about bearing it/waiting for the end when it lost all its money and dignity and kept remaking the same filler story on the same street corner set week after week.

    And then that ending?

    Spoiler

    I can't understand how anyone can accept it, "no matter how brief" is an understatement, he never really wore the suit, it was a shoddy cgi shot of him in space from a distance, blurry and nondescript. He never talked to a human as Superman, there was no clear daylight scene, no interaction with another human, he didn't talk to Lois or anyone. It was a quick, crazily overpowered supermove and then it was over. The final shirt-rip shot was the best we got and even that small glimpse was masked by what had become Smallville's trademark shoddy "dusk" lighting that was used to patch how cheap and tacky everything looked.
    And don't get me started on erasing Lex's entire incredible relationship with Clark that they built up over seven years just to fit in with some pre-existing notion of Superman vs. Lex, despite them having trashed many other avenues of traditional Superman canon along the way.

    I can still remember how empty and disappointed I felt after that aired, no piece of media has done that to me before or since

    I went out this morning to pick up A Plague Tale but I seen Argos had Move controllers in stock! I've been after some for ages so I decided to pass up on buying what intended to and instead purchase the controllers and Ghost Giant, a game I've been eager to play.

    Its a bit stingy that the controllers don't come with a USB charging cable. Using the PS4 one isn't ideal, there's only 1 of them and you get 2 controllers.

    I've played through the first four stages of Ghost Giant and it's as colorful and adorable as I had hoped for. I'm looking forward to playing some more of it later this evening.

     

    You mean you don't just have 30 spare USB micro cables lying around the house by this point? :p Cos I sure do. They can be picked up very cheap on amazon or even at poundland.

    Anyway good to see Move controllers back in stock, hope that's going to be part of a growing trend. Otherwise Move controllers are going to scupper the PSVR the way memory cards did for the Vita.

    Hollow Knight is harder.

    Really?? I beat Hollow Knight relatively easily (some challenges and optional bosses not so much), but my eyes widened at the punishing nature of Cuphead in the first level and to be frank I never gave it a second chance.

    Noticed some audio and graphical glitches, not sure if it's the Mega Sg or the cart, or if I'm over analysing. Might need to clean the carts properly, when I booted it up earlier it just loaded Sonic & Knuckles even though I haven't remove the cart previously.

    Now you need to beat it with Knuckles, then Tails :D Then plug in Sonic 1 and play 2000 randomly generated special stages.

    There were rumours going around that some kind of trade in scheme for disc users was going to be used. I find it very unlikely for that kind of thing to happen but if for some reason it did, would that be appealing to you?

     

    You mean I'd have to give up my disks? Like mail them off somewhere to be added digitally to my account?

    I dunno, I'm kind of a pack-rat when it comes to old games, if nothing else. Not sure about the idea of giving up my 360 disks, even though they've just been sitting in a box in the garage for years...

    Come back to me when they add an Xbox Classics Gamepass :D

    I honestly never even noticed that mode :/ and the fact that you can get trophies while using it really dampens things for me. I don't think I'll bother going for plat, with or without, but I'm glad I beat all the B-Sides without clicking it. 

    I think it's a great idea as a mode, I just don't think it should grant trophies.
