Probably Journey again, and maybe Patapon and / or Patapon 2, and maybe some Terraforming Mars.

This is wonderful. To me, it’s also immensely distressing, as I was just about to nervously contact the editor of one of Kotaku’s sibling sites (io9) to pitch an article of the listicle variety, but the yawning gulf between the best possible version of what that article could be and the expression of insight you’ve…

“If you can explain to me exactly what that dream about Yul Brynner symbolizes, I’ll buy you your own lifesize Yul Brynner gunslinger robot.“

Wait, are you talking about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, or one of the other movies that got mentioned here like the Saw and Sharknado sequels? I certainly don’t think the Indy movie has anything approaching “objectively terrible acting”.

Not only are you wrong, you’re actually even more wrong than you are intentionally being. By that I mean that not only was Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade not the last Indy production, it wasn’t even the halfway point - or even a third or a fourth of the way - in the total body of Indiana Jones productions. Not…

I’ve eschewed my usual jeans and slacks in favor of wearing almost exclusively pajama pants for about four weeks now. I know that’s not super-unusual for lots of people these days, but it certainly is different for me.

Excellent, thanks!

I am so, so happy with Journey. I had missed out on it when it first came out - I haven’t really kept up with consoles much in a long time, but just recently finally got a PS4 after years of wanting one (I know the 5 is due this year, but that’s fine) - and I didn’t really know anything about Journey, but it quickly…

Looking at these on my phone, the resolution difference is effectively removed and I mainly see the different... rendering styles, I guess? I don’t know what to call it.

Congratulations!

He’s not even that old - he’s 59.

I just haven’t been able to afford to buy a new console near the beginning of its lifespan since... well, ever. I just got my PS4 in November (when it was bundled with three games for $199 for Black Friday). My PSP was another Black Friday deal, my NES was the smaller top-loading revision brought out late in its life,…

In fairness, I’m not sure some of the ST:TNG regulars had a much better experience on Nemesis, but as long as they’re not using Stuart Baird again I don’t see a reason why that one movie out of 13 movies and 700+ episodes should keep anyone from ever returning to the franchise ever again. I’d be interested in seeing…

Man, if they release a version of Terraforming Mars for the PS4, I might never leave the couch...

I haven’t seen the finished movie and have never heard its score, but watching this clip was just even weirder once the temp track kicked in after Hopper sits in the chair - it’s from Alan Silvestri’s score to Who Framed Roger Rabbit (!). I guess they figured if it worked for one cartoony fantasy starring Bob Hoskins,…

I loved my PSP, right up until it got a glass of milk dumped on it in 2014, messing it up. I’ve been thinking a lot about it lately, and want to replace it, but I’ve also been thinking about the Vita. Between my old PSP purchases from years ago and my PS4 ones from the last few months (I only just finally got a PS4 in…
