Reminder: Ben Kenobi’s brother was originally Owen Lars, Boba Fett was supposed to be Luke’s mom, “there is another” referenced a character who didn’t exist, Chewy was a giant lizard, and Han Solo wasn’t supposed to go into carbonite.

His character arc was the one I liked. And the one that existed because no one else seemed to have one.

HelloGames and CD Projekt Red were exclusively working on the thing they improved. Bethesda is an understaffed studio working on a half dozen other things.

I was watching a Nakey Jakey video today where he references an article suggesting Fallout 76 stole staff from Starfield and Fallout 4. So I’m amused at the hope that the game is going to get better after it’s already been sold to be people.

Imagine thinking people needed an excuse for drugs and hookers, especially in Los Angeles where there are apps for all of that on Google Play.

That’s what fascinates me. Studios engaging in rain dances throwing salt over their shoulders. E3 was an illusion of necessity because the industry skyrocketed in profits while E3 skyrocketed in popularity.

Like I’m some fucking rube undergrad writing coverage for fucking college credit at an internship.

Henry Kissinger murdering millions and backing the Khmer Rouge is going to get a lot of mention in this thread.

Remember when people ran out and bought copies of Hatred as a protest against people attacking free speech because Hatred was a garbage premise? Then when the terrible reviews rolled in for it being an unfinished buggy mess across the board, they then ran to Steam to flood it with positive reviews to spite the critics?

I’ll allow that BG3 cop out.

They just didn’t want the Astarion heads to come running when they inevitably chose Karlach.

Then he clarified and said he couldn’t do 100 in a row, but that he could do 10, to which she said: “You could do10?!” (There is something weirdly understandable about 10 push-ups being more shocking than 100. One is so absurd that you can’t even imagine it, the other is a stunning feat of human achievement.)

I was torn seeing how they resolved this (and I pretty much guessed how it would resolve) because I want Gatwa to have room to stretch and take up space on his own but I wanted the Doctor to settle down with friends and have a life for once. I’m sure there was some version where Gatwa is just the Doctor from the…

All the dishes were washed,” Ruffalo continued, adding that the Napoleon star has “a great sense of humor” and was “super thoughtful.” Phoenix is also apparently a “great cook” who turned Ruffalo onto vegan cuisine, something it seemed like he was really wishing for after his fifth hot wing or so.

If you’re Gen Z or a late millenial, you were a teen or in your 20's by the time you started watching The Americans and probably weren’t aware the concept was done twice already and called Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Recency bias leads to the inevitable consequence that the thing you really like that shares a thing with a…

Nail Timberlake for misogyny, lying, cowardice, and disrespecting Prince (or not, sometimes Prince had it coming and there’s a whole aside there regarding his narcissism and possible abuse). All that’s fair. But as someone who grew up black in the South, I’m just going to say...

This comment section is full of people upset that they abandoned the plot of the movie they love, unaware that the movie they love abandoned the plot of the TV series someone else loved and this TV series is faithfully returning back to the original plot of the TV series someone else loved.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith was a movie adaptation of a failed TV series called Mr. & Mrs. Smith from a decade earlier. The movie Mr. & Mrs. Smith is the opposite plot of the TV series Mr. & Mrs. Smith. This is a faithful reboot of the TV series Mr. & Mrs. Smith, not an adaptation of the movie adapted from the TV series Mr. &…

It’s less that she can’t do anything she wants than it’s that she can do whatever she wants — and some of it is corporate schlock for a broad audience. If someone offered me a writing gig on Fallout, I wouldn’t sit here and bemoan how I don’t get to write original content. I’d be making a show in a universe I fell in…

“Who is this for?”
