Jupiter Ascending should be heralded as a legendary bad movie. Even the title is ironically bad since Jupiter actually spent the entire movie both literally falling (from buildings, off bridges, etc) and figuratively falling for every lie/scheme someone threw at her.

Yeah, I will never understand how people can not appreciate how true to form Speed Racer was an adaptation.

I thought it was decent from a spectacle pov but everything felt rushed for me. I had no decent sense of how much time was passing so having her go from just having met this guy 3-ish days ago to literally offering him her heart just seemed weird and uncomfortable. The fake death one night to real death (or suicide?)…

While I’m excited for everything in that list it’s BoxBoy that has me the most excited since I would have never imagined they would do anything with the series after the phenomenal last entry. Whether it’s a “collection” or a new entry I’m likely sold assuming there is no radical departure from the formula.

That’s the magic ingredient to Nintendo’s longevity for a sizable number of people there is at least one IP they own that would convince them to buy their systems.

Just like that starfish story, it absolutely means the world to each and every one of them. Now what I think people are looking to have them do is save those 18 while not fucking over the livelihoods of 93 other consenting adults. The fact is that they could save more and there would be less people to save if they had…

I gotta disagree with you on that one, having spent a good amount of time in Japanese hotels an oscillating pulse of warm water combined paper wiping is as clean as you’ll get without a shower. Not to mention some of the nicer Toto models come with warm air jets to get you dry as well.

I’m not sure where to get the statistics from I just saw the news on it while I was in Japan fight business.

This isn’t exactly true anymore, due to their growing demand for workers they’ve been greatly increasing the number of work visas given out so the number of foreigners has increased a lot (relatively speaking). 

Honestly, you can add that after almost any bad news and it would immediately make me feel better.

This is starting to be a trend that I think may pop in the next decade since Japan is seeing an influx of immigrants who aren’t white/light skinned due to their new labor initiatives. Eventually they will no longer be a country where over 90% of their population share the same dominate external features and they’ll…

You didn’t, they literally announced it today! I’ve been following this game since the initial Switch sizzle reel said it was launching in 2017 and now all of a sudden its out in 9 days

I honestly think she is doing this for all the right reasons but decades of “politicians” attempting to do what she is doing (albeit without the same success rate) makes it so that a small part of me will always be weary of these types of appearances/reach-outs. My only fear is that people build her up too high and…

Ah! Then I stand humbled and corrected. I’m sorry for skewing the conversation unjustly.

Don’t bother, he’s either a bot or an idiot. The $25 million is likely the whole trade deficit figure Trump spouts regularly not understanding how the very concept works. To be fair I’m not an expert either but the basics I picked up make me pretty confident that difference between the amount of money Americans spend…

Starred solely for “Nanchuck”

I was initially surprised Megalobox fell to the Honorable Mention level but if you’re going top 5 instead of top 10 it makes more sense. I feel like some super divisive shows aside (i.e. Goblin Slayer) this year only had 15 or so genuinely good non-sequels everything else was either disappointing or so targeted to a…

Agree 100%. Long after Microsoft gives up on dedicated hardware and goes full Windows Game Store and Sony’s game division finally gets dragged to oblivion by the lead weight that is the rest of Sony’s other divisions (last time I checked their game division was the only one in the black for the last 2 years) Nintendo…

I have a $50 bet that he ends up on the bench. I don’t think I would ever be happier to lose $50 but lets just say I’m eyeing a conveniently priced bottle of whisky to share with my more optimistic friends very soon.

My friend had an apartment like that in Shanghai. The best part was that we could be as loud as we wanted since the floor was so thick and she had the whole roof to herself for gardening and hanging laundry.
