Netflix also has a Yu Yu Hakusho adaptation in the works, in case anyone was wondering if they planned on ruining your entire childhood. 

And that’s where marvel needs to be careful. Once you get into “super heroes saving the universe against progenitor space gods”, it a slippery slope of trying to top it with even higher stakes going forward. Like I recently skimmed the DC wiki about Batman: Death Metal, and it’s just so ridiculous how there are…

Always have to do a double take when I see this guy mentioned as “socialist streamer”, and then look at his ad revenue and fancy house.  

The annoying thing (besides the obviously horrible simulated murder) is completely misrepresenting the crux of the show. He took the service level jingoism and nationalism and some people will lap it up. Just like Starship Troopers.

I take it you haven’t watched to show or read the manga. 

Sorry Justin, the jury has rendered a verdict: you’re talking out of your ass.

I need this and the Revan story so badly. Nothing Disney ever does will top it. 

Their point is giving Hollywood’s favorite new “it girl” director a pass, because they don’t want to consider she might be a flash in the pan. Not that I don’t wish her success. Lord knows we need more passionate, skilled directors.  

The smash bros killer lol. Shows you how important sound design is to games. Especially when your banking on cartoon nostalgia.

How do you feel about Madden and NBA 2K releasing largely the same game every year?

I wondered about that. Usually auteur directors aren’t goimg to jive with the CCP, and she certainly seems the type to be critical of oppressive authority.

And let’s be honest, if this was Chris Nolan or Denis Villanueve, they wouldn’t be defending them like they are for a rising star female director. Nomadland was great, but that doesn’t mean Marvel’s Nomadland makes sense. 

Your right, Josh. We should be held accountable for our actions. Like protecting a traitor president and his goons when they try to overthrow the institution that you swore to protect, eh?

Yea, not sure if it was intentionally meant to be incendiary, but the phrasing of that title could’ve been better. Maybe it’s because it’s her beat (and probably her wheelhouse), but Sisi gets pretty defensive on the topic of China for whatever reason.

Yeah, given the current crackdown on gaming among the Chinese youth, things don’t seem to add up. Unless that law the severely restricts the hours kids can play online hasn’t been signed yet, then companies like tencent could be looking a rocky year. 

It’s popular in one part of the world. That doesn’t make it THE most popular game in the world. And assuming your going active player count? That simply means it’s the most played game at that moment. And given the anti-gaming current in Chinese politics, I doubt that number will remain as high as it is when the…

I actually agree. They’ve refined the formula to perfection and there really isn’t any topping SSBU. I think it’s time for a bit of a reinvention similar to Street Fighter 4 being a big step forward for SF. At minimum the roster will be pared down. Of course fans will scream bloody murder if you dare suggest altering…

People act like Smash can’t exist if Sakurai isn’t at the helm. As if he did it all by himself. There are designers on his staff that he’s worked with since melee at least. If anything this is a golden opportunity for one of his disciples waiting in the wings. Plus, it’s not like smash doesn’t have an existing…

The idea that Mario alone has the fastest car makes the game designer in me cry rivers of blood.

I’ve never been so glad to be financially illiterate. This sounds like the absolute worst capitalist endgame, nightmare timeline. Just reading that “mariocoin” explanation made me bristle with rage. And what an insult to Nintendo, who for all their missteps with modern gaming, still give you a full game out of the box…
