I’m glad that real science is still being done in this day and age.

“Critics have hit The Marvels hard for burying its three engaging leads beneath a lot of general MCU business”

Hoping that this is good, since I’ve always adored the original and Korra, but I keep getting a weird vibe about this one.

The actors strike ends (pending a vote) and Jez gets shut down for good. Thanks for the memories Jez.

Vinland Saga S2 at #1 is 100% spot on.

I think it would be interesting if they move their game design forward from the original trilogy’s “every choice matters” to something where there’s a varied gameplay path for every ending from ME3.

Afterlife was a reasonably good legacy sequel, but how do you make a sequel to a legacy sequel? That seems like unexplored territory.

I don’t know about flawless (I’m sure someone will find some), but it sure as heck is a masterpiece.

Yet another GOTY candidate. This year is shaping up to be astounding for the sheer amount of great games that have come out; unfortunately for this game and the rest of the GOTY candidates, they all pale in comparison to Dave the Diver.

Alan Wake 2 is the single best narrative experience I’ve ever had in a video game, moving text-based Planetfall for the C64 to spot 2 for me. If I play through again (not something I do for narrative games), I’d do so on easy. The combat is fun, but can be brutal, expecially given the scarcity of save points. I don’t…

100% endorse. Remedy doesn’t feel like they should exist, and the fact that they do and keep getting to make weirder and braver stuff makes me endlessly happy.

Holy shit, did not expect to see Walter come up in this review, he’s a regular hometown hero around these parts (Just wrapped up a 4 week class he put on at the arts center in Arvada and looking forward to the next one he’ doing in January). He’s also the perfect person to pull a quote from for this game.

And you put…

Yeah, Menzoberranzan is basically the anti-Greece. Men don’t really have any rights so it would be like if a southern plantation owner told the other confederates his slave was his beloved. They’d think he was nuts. This place is female led to the extreme and pretty psychopathic all in all.

Welcome to humanity, you new here?

“Convenience” has driven every major paradigm shift throughout civilization as well as the rape and destruction of our planet. Just because the ruling class with the capital no longer wears literal crowns, and slavery hides behind things like tying healthcare to employment, doesn’t…

Ah yes, late Renaissance-era Florence, Venice, Rome, and Istanbul... All famous for their wood plank architecture and gas streetlamps.

Pretty hilarious as an Alan Wake and Remedy fan to be watching ITMOM just as I stumble upon this article. Great, super fun horror movie that mixes a unique premise with some lovingly campy acting and, of course, Carpenter’s directing style.

They wouldn’t be patenting it unless they intended to patent troll/tech block, I would suggest. It would serve literally no purpose to patent something like this, especially as they’ve basically been using this kind of tech (which is fundamentally obvious and shouldn’t have allowed to be patented, unfortunately the…

That’s absolute fucking drivel.

I thought the vampire kid floating outside a window was first done in Tobe Hooper’s “Salem’s Lot” miniseries prior to Lost Boys.

No “The Raven”?
