    It's great for them, but as a Palace fan I was really hoping Galatasaray would go through just to see Wilfried Zaha in the CL Group stage!

    I loved every minute that he was at our club, but I'll always feel slightly guilty that he didn't get the traditional "success" that he would have elsewhere.

    This just sounds like a Whose Line.. bit! "Things you can say about your fish, but you can't say about your girlfriend"

    The "sequel" (that I also haven't seen!) looks like much more of a generic monster movie.. but that could be a classic case of judging a book by its cover!

    I think the bigger problem for How I Met Your Mother is that they set up Ted and Robin as the perfect "sitcom couple" in episode one, played on it for season after season... and then tripped over themselves trying to make it work that Robin wasn't the mother but was also clearly the love of Ted's life

    You can't convince the audience that Ted loves someone else more in just a handful of episodes, and Ted being with anyone else wouldn't fit the tone of the entire rest of the series.

    So this made me pretty curious and I exported all of my IMDB ratings, filtered down to just movies and then separately filtered all films with an overall rating <6.5, and those with fewer than 5000 votes. Then in each list I looked for films I rated >7, ignoring documentaries. It came back with a few films that clearly I enjoy and nobody else does, and one that apparently "nobody else" has seen.

    Films I love with fewer than 5000 votes:

    • Shuffle - a low budget mystery/romance/thriller about a guy who wakes up every day in a different year of his life

    Films I love with low IMDB ratings:

    • Infinity Chamber - low budget sci fi thriller about a guy locked away inside a solitary cell in an entirely automated prison
    • Monsters - a very reserved "monster movie" that uses an alien invasion as a backdrop, while being more of a character driven story of two people trying to travel safely through a no-go zone
    • Mr. 3000 - An excellent sports underdog movie starring Bernie Mac (RIP)
    • Johnny English - Rowan Atkinson's superb James Bond parody. Such a quotable film that I still throw out lines from it to this day

    It's also the exact point where the show truly transforms from being a shockingly good children's show to a genuinely fantastic fantasy series for everyone!

    Very true, I think that wouldn't work as a suggestion either. It's a cool game, but one where you could easily get stuck if you're not "good at games"/don't enjoy difficulty

    Stumbled across this after watching a Matthewmatosis video on the same game

    Doesn't quite work for the "light in battle" element though! Tunic makes it a little bit harder to explore the magic than some of the games listed.

    Such a good game, utterly broken in a lot of ways but it's a game where breaking these is just so much fun. One of the only games with a 50+hr campaign that I actually enjoyed all the way to the end! (And the sequel is arguably even better, although playing them back to back is a bit of a time commitment haha)

    Very similar opinion on Elden Ring, incredible game in so many ways - but also really, really tedious in a lot of others! It's an open world game, go wherever you like! Except, probably best to go back to exactly where you just died or you'll lose a level and a half's worth of runes -_-

    And the last dozen bosses are outrageously strong
