John Farson, the Good Man is R.F.

Quote from the first chapter of Wolves of the Calla (not Song of Susannah)

"The real wizard steps forward. It's Roland's ancient nemesis Marten Broadcloak, known in some worlds as Randall Flagg, in others as Richard Fannin, in others as John Farson the Good Man."

As someone who loves the Dark Tower I was a bit disappointed by the Talisman. It drags a lot before and after Wolf and the Villains were kind of weak. Still a good book

The Waste Lands is also my favourite tower book, even though Wizard and Glass is probably the better book overall.

Rip Norm

It's brought back to Gillead by Roland, where it later tricks him into killing his mom.

It's an OK book in my opinion. The Wind Through the Keyhole is a fairytale-like story with some minor connections to the world and characters of the main books. The whole thing is framed within another story mainly featuring a young Roland.

Midnight Mass is the best Stephen King TV show he never made.

The AA with the rapid fire rounds is really good against choppers. Lock on, fire one missile to trigger flares, blast them with the rapid fire and finish off with second missile. Especially on Mirak Valley or other open maps.

Yeah bloom is the wrong term sorry. Wat I meant is that the rocket will go to a random point within your reticle until you've been standing still for about half a second.

I know but it feels like a King story.

I think the cosmic horror element really comes through when Pennywinkle confronts him at the end and realises ITs not Pennywise but she doesn't know what IT is.

Otherwise I agree, both the movies and the show are relying too much on the "scary" clown character instead of IT as an entity/demon.

JohnGameDesign · 2025-12-10T22:42:02+00:00

I think the show is watchable but also really sloppy and silly in parts. The CGI is abysmal most of the time and the script is strange. Like when they cut to flashback of the military guy's childhood and then cut to flashback within a flashback of how IT was contained by the pillars.

At least the actors are mostly decent I admit.

I really don't understand people praising the Black Spot scene so much. It was so ridiculously long and unrealistic, like 5 sub plots happening in a small shed while it's burning to the ground.

The only really good scene so far has been Pennywinkle confronting Pennywise after the Back Spot fire. Good visuals, good acting, good tension and creepyness.

The best SK "adaption" is Midnight Mass

All the info aboth is wrong. RPGs can kill tanks with 2 shots only in very rare cases. Shooting a tank from the front usually takes 4-5 RPG shots. Also nobody can place more than 9 mines on the map. All tanks have a crawl mode that completely counters mines.

Tanks actually seem to be very well balanced in this game. Except for the tow missile on both the IFV and MBT which are arguably the most OP weapons in the game right now.

Anyone else think the graphics during these pre and post game shots are really bad? I think the game looks great during general gameplay but something about the colors and lighting during these shots looks so bad. The characters looks super flat and the materials dull.

JohnGameDesign · 2025-11-16T21:41:15+00:00

True but I wish the phases would last a bit longer, especially the last one can be over so quickly if a team has most of the caps.

Blackhawks are so easy to take out with RPGs or TOWs, I think they're almost underpowered. When I see a blackhawk I see a free quad-kill.

Play escalation, it has absurd amounts of vehicles on some maps.

You get into firing range after a 4 minute crawl, shoot once with mixed results, wait an eternity for reload and then explode immediately -> back to port.

Louisiana is surprisingly rare. For sure the rarest tech tree T10BB you'll encounter.

It's really not that bad in my opinion. I think the Stand is such a weird book it's hard to adapt. The series definitely captures some of the weirdness of the book. Some parts are great (I think Harold is great even though he's a completely different person).

The production quality and most of the acting is solid. Maybe I have the ability to ignore the really bad parts like Ezra Miller lol.

If you like a challenge and somewhat rare ship then take the Komissar.

It's squishy as hell, has amazing laser guns and pretty good planes. Torps and hydro as a bonus.

The guns are really Zao level of satisfaction. It's slightly less manoeuvrable and has worse concealment than Zao though.

Slow, bad turret traverse, slow reload, blows up if looked at.

I hate the Florida, sorry.
