Another thing that comes to mind is that in the flashback in the premiere to the press conference after they were found, the person speaking says the plane was found 600 miles north of its logged flight plan, which is way the hell off course, and hard to attribute to just instrument malfunction.

I’d guess that the performance mode delay for Xbox comes down to them needing more time to implement FSR 3 or backport UE5's TSR into their UE4 version (like Ghostwire did), and they’re just locking framerate to 30 to maintain a consistent framepacing.

Original Canon is everything produced by LucasFilm prior to the Disney buyout, so the 3D Clone Wars falls under Original Canon. EU Canon was never actually canon for either LucasFilm or Disney.

It’s not “new canon,” as it was established in Clone Wars long before the Disney buyout.

While most of these are of fairly high quality, very few of them have actually been ‘hits.’ The THR report that this story is sourced from even quotes an unnamed insider saying that The Peripheral shouldn’t have been renewed.

Also hilariously appears to have picked two shots that are of the practical suit with minor cg enhancements, instead of fully CG shots.

Yeah, ‘Downtown LA sucks’ is just an objectively wrong take. And there’s TONS of great food within a 20-30 minute walk of the convention center, or grab a Metro day pass and you can go a bit further in the same amount of time.

Yeah, a lot of the biggest indie games of the past few years got publisher interest either from being big game jam hits, like Superhot, or just twitter posts going viral like Stray.

E3 was specifically a marketing show

I felt the same way in season 2 when it was established that the couples counselor they were seeing had been treating Michelle on an individual basis beforehand. I was like ‘shouldn’t that doctor have recommended a different person for couples therapy instead of taking it on themself?’

Life is Strange being on this list is nonsensical. Feels like a John Walker entry. “This generally beloved game is bad actually but I like it anyway.”

God I miss those toaster pizzas. Amy’s does (or did) a toaster pizza, but iirc the directions were dumb. They were more microwave pizzas that you finished in the toaster.

Actually now that I’ve fired it up and taken a poke around in it I take it back. Anyone is MUCH better off just using full fat Unreal. A lot of key features appear to need to be custom scripted in Verse (there’s no support for anim notifies, for one. How people are supposed to sync audio with their animations I don’t…

I’ve just installed it and one nice thing is that the in the EULA they put explicit limits on Epic’s usage of any content created with it that prohibits Epic from using peoples’ work for training or building Generative AI stuff, or selling the data to other companies to make training datasets.

On one hand, yeah, duh.

I’m pretty sure that’s actually what is supposed to be happening. There’s a blaster sound and a light effect around when she ducks, but she ducks about half a second too soon, and the amount of time that she takes gingerly putting the first one down and picking the second one up completely breaks the illusion. They…

Well, Disney suing the hell out of anybody who makes one for sale for violating their patent is certainly one way to get that money.

Holy hell. I figured they’d do some sort of Texas Switch with them to swap from the retractable blade to a rigid one, but I never would have thought it’d be that sloppy and obvious. It looks like they’ve got a couple different spots in the set that they could have designed to have the actors walk behind to do the…

Also it was The Dam Busters that Lucas lifted. The assault on the Death Star is almost word for word the same.

I feel like someone should dig up some TechTV era X-Play clips to compare with the G4 ones. I don’t remember it being this awful during the TechTV days. I also remember Morgan being a pretty big anime fan back then, too (she had an anime review/preview segment on The Screen Savers and gave FLCL a glowing review months…
