i was using this russian movie-web host that had an insane amount of non-english content. there were also loads of dubs for almost everything. some english shows would default to spanish or russian, but the original audio was always available too.
everything was so easy, i miss it dearly :c
ps: there’s a russian dub of shameless and the VAs are surprisingly spot on

i feel like you could argue the FIRST blops game is actually a spinoff series that they never returned to, and that the following sequels are just “regular COD games”. they made a lot of bold choices in both the single and multiplayer, and i don’t think we ever got back to that same level.
e: advanced warfare was biting titanfall, blops 3 was biting advanced warfare. i GUESS blops 2 was the most creative of the sequels, but even then battlefield 2142 came out 6 years prior with basically the exact schtick.
i was still so hopeful, but then subsequent campaigns just started moving further and further into torture porn territory.
i tried to play BO3. iirc literally the first mission includes a scene wherein the player character is overpowered and gets their arms methodically ripped off. complete with PLENTY of horrible “i’m actively dying” screams and cries piped directly into your ears, while you watch a first person view of someone holding you to the ground and ostensibly killing you in the worst way they can think of.
i got sick to my stomach and uninstalled the game. i was actually enjoying the multiplayer prior to that experience. just fucking give the character robot arms, i don’t need a writer’s room to sell “traumatic” in order to care about a game.
like literally can you name a single COD protagonist? they’re faceless puppets that you only care about because you play as them. the forced trauma only serves to make me dislike the devs rather than give a shit about the character.
playing advanced warfare at launch is legitimately in my top 10 best experiences i’ve had with multiplayer. SO MANY PEOPLE were trying to just play it like every other call of duty. but as more folks started experimenting with the new movement options, suddenly firefights would randomly turn into twitch-shooter gameplay with everyone bouncing all over the fucking place.
once metas started getting sorted it turned into that same sweaty slog that every other old multiplayer fps eventually becomes.
i don’t know where we’d be without that energy, it’s been a lil highlight every time i find one

i never even finished the show and i STILL love mr. greg. it’s one of the scant examples of a musical episode done really well.
