DS2 handles New Game+ so much better than any other FromSoft title, it’s honestly very frustrating seeing DS3 fail to make NG+ runs even half as interesting as DS2 manages to. Freya’s unique interaction and all the other little changes make it very engaging, and things keep changing slightly all the way up to NG+6 or…

I’m with you on DS2. I also recognize why others don’t like it, but I ended up enjoying it a lot. It was a rough start - for a while, I thought it was much harder than DS1, and I had spent the majority of that game flailing wildly and feeling like I could barely keep up with what it threw at me. So my initial struggle…

I admire your bravery in putting Dark Souls 2 up there. Its a game that deserves so much love than it gets. Its undeniably a mess but you can really get lost in that mess in a way you can’t really with DS3.

Talking solely about the Fromsoft soulsborne titles, my ranking has at least one contentious entry:

Yeahhh, I don't know about that. The Star Wars comics out of Marvel have been a consistent highlight, and the regular output of novels have been mostly good as well. They're not (and never were) going to stop making books and comics, so this is just more content in a fresh direction for a dedicated fan base. It…

Sure, its a lot of problems with the game as it is. But even with crashes, low fps, etc i have to admit that the game itself is way better than i was wishing for. Its like my childhood dream game, deus ex but seemingly endless. I really love it even with the technical issues, one of my favorite games this generation…

That’s always been my problem with PC gaming in general. The box says “PC Game” but if I buy the game, and you buy the game, even though we both have “PCs” and both bought the same game, only one of us is going to have an experience even remotely similar to what was advertised. It’s why I generally prefer to play on…

Going with the themes of the episode, I think he just assumed they were pirates when they were probably actually people fighting to sabotage the Imperial guys who were invading their land/planet.

Line of the episode from Boba, “Let’s just say they’d recognize my face.”

A) They’re not getting their paycheck, because those checks are tied to the box office performance, which is now being denied.

If io9 were being honest, they would’ve titled this article “Oh this is rich, Denis Villeneuve.”

Wow, Denis Villeneuve expresses the exact same stance as Chris Nolan, yet io9's article remains completely snark-free and respectful with respect to Villeneuve.

You know that the Olympics already allows trans women to compete, right? And-this is gonna blow your mind-the requirements are that the trans woman in question has undsergone this wild medical treatment where they suppress testosterone production (usually to effectively zero, which is actually well below the T levels…

All I can say is “woooooow”

The ideology sounds so gross. Like, quarantine (a key aspect of government public health response) is presented as necessarily fascist and Auschwitz-y, and it romanticises the gig economy. Get absolutely ten-carat fucked.

freedom of expression doesn’t include freedom from consequences.

Also, just in general, MGS is BATSHIT in the places it goes, and let's just say that's a huge task pulling something like that from a gaming medium -- where batshit is par for the course -- to a more conventional cinematic medium.

Really like the casting. Something I feel that Isaac will add to the role is that he has that older energy to him, the greying hair adding to it, which I feel is a really important part of Solid Snake.

All I can say is “!”

I’m almost 40 years old and before today didn’t know nappy was a racial slur. I also like to think I’m fairly informed. Clearly I have more to learn!
