Totally a Boomer thing. All guys his age think all animation is for small children and simple-minded cretins.

I remember the McFarlane/Miller crossover mainly being Batman being an asshole the whole time (sort of the like in that Lee/Miller Batman series where Batman is basically abusing Robin).

The old crossover belonged to that weird time when the Image founders began hiring big names from the 80s to lend credibility to their material. Todd McFarlane famously pulled in Frank Miller, Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, and Dave Sim to take Spawn in new directions, and he later handed things over to Grant Morrison,…

this is supposedly “the end” of the franchise and we get 2 hours of some ass dude named corey?

Halloween Ends deserves credit for taking the series to some new places, but I think fans focused on Laurie Strode (or Michael Myers) will think it’s a bait-and-switch.

All your examples are technical, not cultural.

The impact was negligible, which in itself is a singular accomplishment for anything finding such mega-financial success.

This seems like an interesting project, but I’m curious whether it acknowledges that the “Disney Princess” is largely a retrospective idea. Disney made plenty of movies with fairy-tale princesses in the lead role, but it didn’t really become a template until The Little Mermaid in 1989, at which point Disney hadn’t…

Wow, Disney really doesn’t want spoilers for the sex scene. 

I can only assume that scrupulousness about spoilers caused the line “do you want to know where babies come from?” to be omitted from this rundown.

Even without another season of this trash fire, we will always have the scene where Lance Reddick dressed like Blade. And perhaps that is enough.

It seems like a stretch to say Disco Elysium and Citizen Sleeper were inspired by Bioshock, when they were clearly influenced by earlier and better games like the CRPG Planescape Torment.

...BioShock released to critical acclaim, with particular praise for its atmosphere and narrative, which incorporated ideas from author George Orwell and most notably philosopher Ayn Rand.

Ugh, sounds like NoA is determined to continue the tradition of Nopons as racist indians even after even NoJ has given it up.

Why does everyone call her a TERF? I’ve never seen any indication that she subscribes to any form of radical feminism.

Speaking of that, if you use the Japanese voices, the Nopon are no longer voiced utterly annoying like Riki was - Riku sounds like a perfectly normal Japanese guy. But the subtitles still render it as the sorta racist ‘big heap wampum for friends’ stuff.

Des anyone else find it intensely sad that a dev abandoned their passion project for a quick trend-riding cashgrab and now that’s what Kotaku reports on?

I was skeptical when this movie was announced, in part because this series has such a poor track record, but I’m starting to look forward to it.

Meanwhile, the COD games have created higher and higher barriers to players with a casual relationship to the franchise. I used to play some of the campaigns when the games aged enough to reach a decent price, but the massive install sizes are such a hassle that it’s just not worth grabbing those sale-price copies…

I’m about 20 hours into XC3, and so far it feels like the most focused and streamlined entry in the series. The developers clearly put a lot of thought into the opening hours, so that the game’s world and its mechanics come into focus piece by piece, with enough exploration to let each new puzzle piece become familiar…
