There is no way that Burger King thing is legit. The sheer amount of work and effort required to swap oil from one fryer to another (not to mention the risk of an employee burning themselves) makes this a non-starter.

To be fair, GKR, Rising Sun and RE2 was/will be when it actually arrives gifts for my brothers, but even so, Dark Souls and KD:M (which I’d forgotten about in my original post) are enough for now. Maybe by next year I’ll be up for more absurd board games!

I was so tempted to back this, but after Dark Souls, GKR: Heavy Hitters, Rising Sun, and the Resident Evil 2 board game, I figure I’m tapped out on cool expensive board games for a while. Hellboy and John Carter of Mars were two more games I really wanted to back.

Thanks.

Jumanji in Space? So a reboot of Zathura then? Sure, why not.

I think a Majora’s Mask-esque sequel is a strong possibility - same systems and foundation, but doing new things with them in a shorted development schedule thanks to reusing technology.

Yeah, but I don’t think the second one is out on consoles yet, and I’m not buying any (more) games until I beat a few of the ones I already own.

I grabbed Vermintide 1 when it was free through Games with Gold a while back and finally tried playing it.

Thirteen Ghosts is one of my top guilty pleasures. I may go rewatch it again tonight.

Let me introduce you to the New 3DS, which has DKC2 in its eshop.

Also, not going to lie, I would buy every one of the HD rereleases Tim suggests there at the end (maybe not Link Between Worlds, which I enjoyed, but not quite enough to buy again).

My copy should be waiting for me when I get home from work today. Should be fun!

Didn’t Kevin Fiege talk about them working on a Black Widow movie fairly recently? It could, I suppose, always be a period piece, but that would pretty thoroughly undercut any pathos of her death to be like, “But hey, here’s a movie with her set in the ‘80s” or whatever.

Any word on a release date? Butcher’s Block took me a little to really engage with (I’m not a huge fan of gory horror, and it really looked like it was going to be too much for my tastes at first), but I wound up really liking it. So far Channel Zero is three for three in my book.

I don’t even watch the show and seeing one scene of her as Avasarala was enough to make me read every line in her voice. Different strokes, I guess.

Rosebud was Luke’s father.

It’s just a more violent version of something that happens literally every day in real life - people have kids, grow old, die, and those children inherit the world for their own and continue the cycle. It’s that, but on a species rather than generational level.

I think that your bit about the Turing Test is important - a lot of these discussions kind of assume absolute knowledge of the subject. But realistically, how certain would we ever be about whether an artificial intelligence was sentient or just really good at simulating sentience? Absent the kind of god-like…

I can watch that second gif all day. The jaws going crazy is great, but it’s the tail deflating that gets me each time.

So glad to see another Peanuts article from you Kevin!
