This is pretty much the same as all those “Mars will be brighter than the full moon!” emails that were all the rage a few years ago.

When the headline is a question, the answer’s always no.

Aw come on, that line was pretty clever. 

The problem is that you still need to install the games separately. There isn’t even a central app that shows all the “Netflix” games out there.

If Netflix advertised its games in its streaming menus they could get tons of users, but now its pretty much out of sight, out of mind.

It’s not a mystery. It’s a sequel to a movie that is nobody’s favortie, featuring three characters that are nobody’s favorites, with the implict need to have watched two TV series which even the biggest Marvel fans are getting burned out on. The first Captain Marvel movie was a much easier sell since it was an origin…

The panedmic changed movie-going habits that were already changing. People aren’t just going to go to whatever the big new movie is each weekend like they used to. The studios had a pretty solid 3-decade run where they were able to effectively open anything in summer or Thanksgiving-to-Christmas season and make money…

The Marvels will be on Disney+ within a month to two months. That kills a ton of box office potential. If you had to wait at least 6 months before seeing it, more people would be inclined to go buy a ticket.

eh, what works in comics and what works for movies isn’t necessarily the same thing.

Also, fucking Ultra-Early-Pre-Limited-Alpha-Waiting-For-More-Kickstarter-Stretch-Goals-Access isn’t a fucking release, and game sites need to stop treating them as such.

Whoa, whoa, whoa - hold up!

“For some people, the sound quality isn’t important so long as the fakes look like enough Apple AirPods”

Personally have taken to calling it Xitter. With the X pronounced as ‘Sh’ similar to eg Chinese.

Finally. OWL had been pinin’ for the fjords since year 3.

It was like a combination of the Dotcom bubble, the online journalism ad revenue crash, and Long Island Iced Tea Company changing their name to Long Blockchain, all rolled into one.

Many teams didn’t start out in their “host” cities. Many didn’t compete there. I…

I was more speaking from like.... an investor infrastructure POV. Your whole system relies on that specific game/IP being “popular” (or popular enough to have a player base large enough to profit from). The bulk of the community could move to a new game in a matter of weeks if something deemed “better” comes out.

One aspect of e-sports that is always an issue: If the underlying game/IP goes out of vogue and/or is killed by devs, your entire system crumbles in a (Relative) flash.

I’m prepared to be disappointed later, but at least this trailer isn’t mentioning Gozer, Zuul or Ivor Shando. Perhaps a Ghostbusters movie can stand on its own for once.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire

Oh yeah they definitely advanced special effects, but the originals did that while also managing to have decent stories, acting and directing.

Meanwhile Van Halen did a masterful cover of the song, totally making it their own (a celebratory street party song is right up the middle for them). More of their covers should have been on the “Best Of” list, they covered all kinds of classic songs.
