Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I thought he’d retreated completely, but it seems like he’s still working on contracts/work he was on deck for finishing before all the news came to light.

re: Ellis - he chose to step away and, rightfully, decided to stop working in comics outside of the contracts/work he was already on deck to finish or start. Whether that translates into his entire career being over with, however, is another story. When the news came to light, he made his statement, apologized, and…

I didn’t know he was still working on new contracts. The last I heard, he was on deck for finishing things he’d been contracted to finish. If that isn’t the case, well.

Off the top of my head? Warren Ellis, a prolific comic book writer and ex-head writer for the critically acclaimed Castlevania series, was dropped like a hot sack of shit when claims about his abusing his position as a famous comic book author came out a year or so back.

okay, so

While I appreciate the fresh take—lord knows MH as a franchise needs it—someone needs to tell Yoko Taro that Dark and Dreary doesn’t automatically translate to Deep and Good Storytelling.

Instead of a remake, I’d rather they just hire the guy who did this

I NEED a remake of the entire LoK series like burning, you have no idea. one of the best stories of all gaming—better than anything the Witcher or TLoUs could pump out, that’s for sure) and better voice acting than like 99% of anime or games that have ever come out.

LEGACY OF KAIN (please just make a modern remake of the entire series, and then let the original writers FINISH THE SERIES good lord we had an entire ending basically completed before both projects were scrapped.)

Seeing as Fox already—excellently, imo—played the role of a man-eating demon from the bowels of hell, I’m going to go with her being a Mileena main.

Counterpoint: newspapers sold at bodegas, as well as libraries and bookstores.

This is pretty in the weeds for the average gamer, but it’s all part of the two sides’ strategies for the trial, the outcome of which could have huge ramifications for how we buy games.

That explains a lot.

The US rating system is a bit different than the Japanese rating system. Your’e right that AO over here is basically only used for porn, but in Japan the CERO-Z rating is just basically our MA rating.

I just recently moved from PA after three years of my PhD there and, lemme tell you, the parking expenses have not changed almost twenty years later. There’s also NO FREE PARKING anywhere in town.

lol no. that’s not at all what’s happening in Puerto Rico.

Why not both?

Thanks, Smaug. I’d offer up an arkenstone as tribute but uh

As someone who has read a bit about Japanese literary styles and history, I can add a little bit of confirmation to whole “heightened engagement with reality,” theory as being fairly true. Their earliest stories with a lot of—for lack of a better term on my part—picaresque and philosophical themes, along with a focus…
