You nailed it.

Your opinions are wrong and you should feel bad.

Wasn’t Roddenberry the creative force behind Star Trek 1? And then they kick him to the curb, give the reins to people like Nicholas Meyer, Harve Bennett, and Leonard Nimoy and suddenly the movies are awesome. (Give or take a William Shatner fever dream.)

The difference between George Lucas and Gene Roddenberry is that Roddenberry died relatively early in the lifetime of the franchise, and since he is no longer around to remind us all how terrible he is, then it’s easy to fill in the gaps and pretend like he was a saint who made no bad decisions whatsoever.

DS9 violated a bunch of Gene Roddenberry rules (no religion, no wars, no inter-personal conflict) and is the best Star Trek there is.

I adore Galaxy 1 and was pretty let down by 2. As I recall, it was because they abandoned the gravity physics that was the heart of 1's gameplay, and I had nowhere near the same amount of fun.

He pretty much gave birth to the modern movie soundtrack.

Hook, Schindler’s List, and Jurassic Park (91, 93, and 93) are peak John Williams for me.

I’m genuinely curious to see how the Switch 2 plays out. The Wii was a big financial success for Nintendo (in large part by chasing more casual gamers) but then the Wii U came out and everyone who wasn’t a gamer asked why they would want to buy another Wii and just moved on.

Dance Dance Resolution is just a perfect half hour of television.

I played Remake without ever having played 7 and did just fine. I know there were a probably a ton of easter eggs and references I didn’t get, but it didn’t negatively impact my experience.

I get such a kick out of that subreddit. Ted Faro is such a fantastic villain because he is so very, scarily human. And he is exactly the kind of person you can imagine coming out of today’s corporate-greed-billionaires climate and inadvertently triggering the end of the world through incompetence and ego.

Learning Elisabet Sobek’s true fate is one of my most memorable gaming moments of recent memory (followed up by learning what Ted Faro did to Apollo and the other Alphas...).

I actually kind of see it a different way. The Horizon games are, imo, unfairly compared to the likes of then new Zeldas, Skyrim, and Elden Ring because of its open-world design, yet I would argue that they have very different intentions. The other open-world games are about ‘go off and do your own thing and there may…

I am stoked. Lenore Zann was my Rogue growing up, and I am thrilled to be getting her back.

Oh wow, hard disagree.

Re: awful to work with ala Grant Gustin - source?

Harry Potter would’ve really benefited from the extra amount of screentime afforded by a tv show, even though it probably would’ve been nowhere near as high-profile at the time (when such a thing would’ve been unthinkable).

I would love for them to shift focus to Nebula, who is a much more interesting character, and just forget Star-Lord ever existed. But I already know it’s not going to happen.

I freaking love this game. I know it tends to get a lot of flack/be overlooked both because it had to follow the first (which set a high bar) and it repeated history of releasing in the shadow of a phenomenon (Breath of the Wild, then Elden Ring).
