Worth noting that all the other artists, engineers, animators, designers and writers who made Disco Elysium are still at ZA/UM. Sounding the doom alarm because three people left the company is a bit insulting to the rest of them.

Given the success of Godzilla vs. Kong they should just go straight to adapting Tarzan at the Earth’s Core.

It’s not clear what’s shifted here; Deadline doesn’t quote any sources as to why the change has been made, or where Armor Wars will fit into the company’s already elaborate Phase Four, Five, or Six movie plans.

I think cloud gaming only really makes sense as an augmentation to local gaming, not as a full-on replacement.

As Kotaku reported back in 2021, Skull and Bones grew out of a concept for an Assassin’s Creed Black IV: Flag expansion.

Apparently they can’t cancel it because they’ve gotten a ton of massive tax breaks from Singapore to open the studio there, and those tax breaks are contingent on the studio actually releasing a game at some point. If they cancel it they’re not just out the development costs, they have to pay all the back taxes that…

Not only does he think director’s cuts “suck” in general, but of his own movie, he has said, “It’s not good, at four and a half hours.”

Umm, yes it is? It shows that this is a wholly artificial pay wall that exists to get new players to pay money right off the bat so that they can play the same content that other players for which the only quantifiable difference is that they had an account before October 4th.

Pretty sure his weight gain wasn’t specifically for The Whale. Fraser’s had a lot of health problems, a lot of which stemmed from the level of apparent fitness he had in his ‘prime,’ so he isn’t capable of being the thin, hot Brendan Fraser of the ‘90s and early aughts any more (look at him in ‘Trust’ and ‘No Sudden…

The lack of crunch in the shell is by far the Choco Taco’s biggest weakness. It’s always soggy and soft and tough, so instead of being able to just bite pieces off, you bite into it and then it squishes and the ice cream gets squeezed out in any available direction.

The Autumnal Harvest Creamy Pasta Sauce is also excellently pumpkiny and spicy, and makes a GREAT pizza sauce.

It sounds like the returning players don’t have to pay the $40, though?

I mean...

It’s less the technical implementation of the tracking than it is the software API that the systems use. An Oculus Quest or Rift or a Windows Mixed Reality headset can play OpenXR games just as well as a Valve Index or HTC Vive can, and they all use very different tracking solutions. The reason they all work together…

Ah, Project Eve, aka Nier: Automata + Dark Souls but make it horny(er).

Considering this, Night Sky, and League of Their Own were all binge releases, I feel like this doesn’t bode well for a second season of League of Their Own.

Canonically Celebrimbor gets the idea to make the Rings from Sauron while he’s being held prisoner, so Celebrimbor’s whole ‘I need to build this big forge and I need it built in 6 weeks’ thing would be being driven by Sauron’s influence.

Definitely not Sauron. The heavily foreshadowed twist of the season is going to be that the elves have had Sauron in captivity the whole time. Only the Elf Lords know about it, hence the whole ‘You’re not allowed in the next meeting, Elrond’ bit.

Constantly showing how fucking lame the metaverse is while also corrupting the very concept of it (how exactly was Eminem and Snoop’s performance “in a metaverse”? There wasn’t any sort of multi-user element to it as far as I can tell, it was just off the shelf mocap and incredibly shitty environment design) is fine…

Yeah, apple juice on cereal is 100% one of those weird quirks that Stallone gives a character just because he wants to give them a weird quirk.
