I started watching Fallout on Amazon.

It looks amazing, has one of my fave actors and he is gooood in this, Walter Goggins, the depiction of the war is very frightening, the heightened cold war under Reagan used to give me nightmares, this is also nightmare material. I might finish watching later. 😧 I just woke up from a nightmare about Iran. It's not looking good out there.

A walk, may as well go for a walk and breath in some eucalyptus laden air.

I have never seen a movie or TV show based on a video game that I liked, although the original Tomb Raider was fairly decent (and who doesn’t like looking at Angelina?)

Goggins is terrific and your judgement on these matters is solid so I will give it a go.

I thought Castlevania was pretty great, I haven’t seen much else.

I think Hitman was decent and I’ve see poeple talk about Last of Us and The Witcher but I think the rest are not so great.

Uncharted left me deeply scarred.

I saw Uncharted at the Imax, the audience were fans and they really enjoyed it, there would talking about parts of the movie they knew from the game. There were also lots of young kids there, which is great. :)

They totally miscast Drake.

Have a look on YouTube for Nathan Fillion and their little fan project.

That was how Drake was meant to be portrayed.

Some of the Resident Evils were ok if you ignored almost everything. WoW fit the so bad it’s good to laugh at box.

Upon reflection, the Last of Us season 1 was pretty great. Especially ep. 3 with Offerman, which is a bit ironic because that story line was nowhere in the game.

I’ve neither seen nor played this one. Heard there is a rather brutal thing with a small girl and a dog. Refuse to look it up.

I don't remember anything about it now, but I enjoyed the first Resident Evil movie when it came out. I also never played the game, so I'm not even sure if it counts.

Him and Olyphant were equal costars in Justified, that was such a good show
