I always find that funny, as if critically lauded superhero films like The Dark Knight, Spider-Man 2, and Iron Man were strictly for critics and not for the fans. It’s only the negative-word movie that’s for the fans! 

It’s like when a movie gets critically thrashed, so the commercials turns to random Twitter pull quotes ("I LOVE THIS MOVIE! @totallynotastan) and people getting interviewed outside of the free sneak preview they got.

At this point, Overwatch 2 is basically the rake gag from The Simpsons

Agreed, it’s the first real disappointing mainline Sonic platformer for me, starting with the endless and annoying level design, the cumbersome team mechanic, the typically terrible 3D Sonic camera, and like other Sonic games on the system, ran like shit on the PS2, struggling at times to even hit 30fps.

Holy crap, why did it never occur to me he's the McDonald's voiceover guy?!

I never knew I wanted something like this but I did and I’m happy it exists.

(Except Deadspin; RIP comments section)

“So what, we just some kind of.... Live-service game?"

Yeah I still hate the minigame 20+ years later and always cheese the story-enforced game with hiding behind the keeper to get it to 0-0 at half, then using Jecht Shot to get a goal and cheese out the rest of the clock so I can move on.

I know of one Suits fan, and you better believe his white Mormon ass was excited for it! 

Also, the idea of “an industry plant is it’s somebody the industry hand picks to be successful from day one” is purely bring-a-horse-to-water in terms of audience acceptance, because there’s endless actors, actresses, and comics who got similar pushes and evaporated into career nothingness.

I basically turned into that Wee-Bey GIF watching the takedown of the Kings of Comedy, but I ride with anyone who triumphs Bernie Mac. I still miss that guy often.

This is a bigger Ponzi scheme than The Day Before

While none of those games tickle my fancy just from my own genre preferences, I *am* happy that PS+ added the recent Klonoa remakes to the library, which I've happily dug into this week. The originals are some of my all time favorite platformers so I love an excuse to replay them again.

It’s one of those things I get but still sucks. The GTA IV expansions were so damn good, and in ways better than the base game, but with GTA Online basically printing the gross of a small country, I get Rockstar just going where the gold and demand is for GTA V.

I like Aquaman 1 on the wavelength of “Dolph Lundgren is riding a sea-war-horse, I cannot hate this”, so if A2 is more of wonderfully cartoon stuff like that, bring it.

Hell, Blade Runner wasnt even well-remembered in 1982, that was a “vindicated by history”. The revisionism going on with the original post is pretty crazy. Not all of those were instant “Yes, put this in the Library of Congress!” selections.

Also, every “remember these movies from this year?” always fades away the crap of said given year, so yeah, 1983-84 was a banger, but also the years of Superman 3, Staying Alive, Overdrawn at the Memory Bank, Jaws 3-D, etc.

I know I’m not. I knew just the idea of “I’ll make my OWN Star Wars, with blackjack! And hookers!” was a DOA idea that would only be embraced by his ride-and-die stans.

It’s more like “Holy shit, this Whopper I ordered has wilted lettuce, old cheese, and I’m pretty sure this isn’t even beef.”
