Who’d have thought that having a development studio where just about everything they’ve done is port related with extremely limited experience with original content handle the “from scratch” remake to one of the most beloved RPGs of all-time would’ve been a bad idea.

Again and again, this is partly religious and partly economic. Before women poured into the workforce in the late 60s/early 70s, your average white man had an unpaid indentured servant who performed cooking, housework and childcare in exchange for free room and board, leaving Daddy free to smoke and work. This was…

This might sound judgmental but holy shit. I’m not a native English speaker myself and I have yet to make that mistake, who the fuck are they hiring at GMG? What’s next, defiantly instead of definitely?

I would have loved if you hadn’t fired your last editor.

A class act as always and usually the best part of everything she’s in (and, like all real actors, never above slumming it from time to time). She’s genuinely creepy and mesmerizing in the otherwise clunky “Ghost Story.” Also really happy to see McDowell in what looks like a worthwhile part/movie. I don’t do modern…

Alice Krige, so creepy and hot. One of the great horror actresses, though it doesn’t feel right to call her a “scream queen.” She more inspires others to scream 

Sure, but if you amortize that over 360 back-to-back viewings of The Gray Man over the course of the entire month, that’s only like $.05 per hour of entertainment.

Yeah that’s always been a problem with naming and genres in the industry. For years every ARPG was dismissed as simply a diablo clone because of a lack of terminology. And this materially affected the market success of those games. And it is still a problem, for example: a proper term is still needed to replace rogue-l…

Or we could do the unthinkable and create an actual new character and put them in an original movie that most people will like. Just shitballin.

I’m not sure I’d describe Indiana Jones as a “charismatic scoundrel”—Han Solo, maybe, but Indy has essentially always been a cranky old man. It’s just that now his age (and looks) have caught up with him.

I think instead continuing the Indy series, the next Indiana Jones movie should just have a car screech to a halt right in front of Indy and we see Ke Huy Quan now playing an adult Short Round say, “hop in Dr Jones, we going for a ride” and have Short Round be the future star of the franchise. His character is built…

So... any sci-fi horror game is now a Dead Space clone? Really? I mean, come on, even the System Shock remake was listed in the video. Yes, a remake of a game that was released 14 years before the first Dead Space. The original Dead Space was already derivative so please, let’s not use the term “Dead Space-Likes” to…

Piracy fills all voids. It sucks but hey, it talks. Rights owners want to play stupid games they’ll win stupid prizes.

And this is why people will still want physical copies of things instead of going all digital for their entertainment.

In all honesty, I don’t think they care. The premise was already incredibly stupid and it looks like they’re working with a Lifetime Original Movie level budget. This was (presumably) a very cheap way to make content for Paramount+ that probably recovered its costs as a tax write-off. 

Nintendo owns it. They bought it, and largely pay for the series. Technically, they share publishing rights with Sega I believe, but that really only matters for Bayonetta 1.

Weird take, given the CGI tie-ins and newer adaptation were similarly bonkers and pulpy, and didn’t just slap lazy fanservice into an unrelated script.

It’s amazing to me how the best adaptions of the games remain W. S. Anderson films simply because he at least had schlock that didn’t take itself seriously in the slightest.

“Prime Day, a promotion organized by a company that’s regularly violated anti-union-busting laws”

That is a truly bizarre hill to die on.
