“Most CDs didn’t top $20 unless you were buying some limited editions or double albums.”

I’m saying the process of making a movie and getting even one person to watch it is far more democratized than it ever has been, which is true.

Who. Gives. A. Fuck.

What exactly is it being roasted for? Overall, it’s a very good take that gets into some of the key details that are often not addressed. I love Scorsese. He’s my all-time favorite director, and there are several of his movies I’ve seen at least a dozen times. I can’t wait to see Killers of the Flower Moon.

I thought I expressed myself pretty well but: He’s pining for an era that doesn’t exist. It’s far better to be someone who wants to make films these days because you don’t have to have a big studio behind you in order to get your vision to the masses. The way he thinks it was in the ‘70s is not the way it actually…

I think it’s way better now: I can listen to a band from anywhere in the world and not have to special order a physical copy of their album. I can watch their live shows on Youtube(or stream them live depending on what’s up). I can buy their merch from my couch. If I like them I can hope they come somewhere near me so…

Holy Crap!!! Did you guys actually get a review copy of a game?!    I thought you managed to piss off everyone

Can I ask what seems to be the main rejoinder for this? Because boring as this topic is, I have similar thoughts about Scorcese’s critiques since that NYTimes op-ed that started it all. His take to me has always been overly focused on the audience when it should be on the business models and costs of filmmaking and…

“There was no era where the major studios were systemically willing to underwrite “personal” films on the blockbuster scale Scorsese fantasizes about.”

Don’t know if that comment merited snark; the doubled ticket prices are surely a very relevant factor that for some reason has been omitted from most stories. I feel like the smaller increases from 3D and IMAX surcharges are generally noted so why not this? If it were being sold at regular prices it would have grossed…

I think it’s important to note that Eras Tours movie tickets cost nearly double a normal movie ticket, which is going to inflate the box office total, even if less people are seeing it.

Well, if Matt Mercer is going to be the new Nolan North / Troy Baker who gets cast in everything to try and leverage his online popularity, at least his voices typically aren’t just his normal speaking voice so it wont get as exhausting hearing the same voice in every fucking AAA game for a decade or so.

Critical Role. He’s just another name when it comes to other VO jobs. With Critical Role, he is the storyteller.

Does Kotaku not get review codes anymore? This is the second or third game in a month where I’ve seen round-ups instead of review

Naw Microsoft doesn't give a shit about his golden parachute. It's a drop in the bucket for them. 

Hey, is it shitty that I don’t really care who the new voice actor is? With Martinet, it was a fun legacy thing that he was around for so long, but other than that, I kinda don’t think the voice of a character that has like 10 words in his vocabulary really matters. Same goes for the rest of the Mario characters he…

Why does it need to die, it is still good. You don’t like it stop watching it.

They can’t do that, probably because they’ll go bankrupt if they do.

Okay so let’s lay this out. In a game series who’s main point is for young children to capture animals and force them to fight each other, you have a moral issue about if a mouse creature may be a police officer?
