I’m in the minority that survival horror should have as little combat as possible.  Things just are scary if all you need to do is machine gun your way through enemies.

I don’t know...most of what I remember about Silent Hill ( or maybe 2), was walking around in a school that would suddenly transform into a building with rusted, corroded gates and bloodied chickenwire floors. And little creepy babies that would follow me but not do anything.  That seems like it would match up with…

Yeah I always thought that Matt had a decent sense of humor on Netflix when he was just being a lawyer guy, and I guess nightly beating up on lesser thugs. It just got morose once the main storyline of the series got going and Matt spent the next 9 episodes continually getting bloodied and beat up upon.

Yep. I never really got how Resident Evil games were scary. Those games were pretty much just “keeping shooting at things from a distance.”

I’ve wanted to try this game, and now that it’s available to the Switch I almost bought it this weekend. But then I read stories like this....and <shudder>.

Yep. This is a typical “I’ve got the highest card showing on the board why would I bother thinking about folding” free play poker style. She’s able to run off some word salad with some poker terms, but clearly she doesn’t understand any of the nuance.

Top Gun being talked about “frequently” as how politics and pop culture intersect was something no one talked about for 30 years until the machinery of the sequel began. The only mention of Top Gun before 2017 in any kind of light in the last 25 years is mostly video game reviews of cheap ports of updating Top Gun…

The whole “ a movie is only as good as it’s pop culture references” needs to stop. When was the last time anyone bought a Top Gun toy before this year?

Unobtainium, it turns out, is an actual term used since the 1950s.

“Morning Zoo”, sports talk, political jibber jabber and other forms of entertainment radio DJs typically need to be “on” 3 to 5 hours a day 5 days a week.

I guess I don’t understand the desire for a “perfect simulation” and then complain when a player accidentally trips someone on their own teams. It feels like that actually IS a good simulation of the wacky random stuff that actually happens in a live football game; there’s always weird little trippings, blocking…

I picked up Tabletop Simulator to play the Arkham Horror Card Game solo and potentially to play online....it’s amazing what people have done in TTS just to make AH remotely presentable, given how complicated AH is.

I’ve never read Guillermo as being gay, really. I’ve always read him as this shy and insecure and mostly asexual who found vampirism as an instant fix to cure him of his insecurities ( which makes the Van Helsing reveal all the more fun). His man-crush on Nandor was more about being in awe of this “great warrior who…

Maybe popular ones, but there were others: Roc, for example was a black cast led by a garbage man. 227, I think the Bernice Mac show.

Why is “not enough diversity” always seem to be boiled down to “not enough blacks?” instead of all colors. What about Hispanics, east Asians, native Americans, Palestinians?

I feel like that’s kind of standard sitcom storytelling more than anything with malice.

This sounds less like “playing Netflix games” and more like “clicking on an ad within netflix” to buy a free game.

We never DID see Indiana Jones actually put the idol head thingy into a museum at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark. And now that destroys the hole movie for me.

Yeah, I had no idea that there was a connected “Predator Universe” aside from just a standard “sci fi space alien horror flick”.

I think someone needs to read up on the old studio system of Hollywood. The idea of even getting “royalties and credit” beyond getting a paycheck for a days worth of work would get you laughed out of the room.
