  • There’s a huge regional and cultural aspect to what you’re saying. You’re comparing slapstick in-your-face American comedy to subtle cringe British comedy. The Office is an excellent example since it is exactly the same script used in both initially. Watching S1E1 for British vs American version is an excellent comparison of styles. I don’t like British comedy particularly and don’t even like The Office, but watching both back to back, I would prefer the British version.

    There are a number of amazing British comedies. They are very different to American. British comedies are understated and a bit miserable. Try “I’m Alan Partridge”…such an amazing comedy.

    Equally I’ve tried watching Curb Your Enthusiasm with British friends and a large portion can’t stand that for how cringe it is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

    There’s no superior choice in matters of art and taste. Just different flavours.

  • I thought I did. I’ll fire it up again sometime and double check. Wipeout on the PS1 gets praised enough for me to give it another shot.

    PS1 and N64 were so early in the days of 3D gaming. I play older games but I’m usually looking for pixel graphics or 2D games. PS2 was the console of my childhood and my mind is anchored in looking for at least that sort of 3D quality.
