Yuengling was never amazing, but it has unquestionably gotten worse in recent years.

I think the shortcomings described in this review make the case for a philosophy of game design in which the game is built around a progressively deeper exploration of a central set of mechanics. It sounds like the gameplay and the world in Gravity Rush 2 are both strong on their own, but never quite connect into a…

It'll be temporary until the inevitable next terror attack, which will be used as proof that the ban didn't go far enough.

I feel like Bannon and Pence are the twin puppetmasters. They both view their agendas as essentially non-overlapping, and each is happy to let the other get what he wants as long as his own agenda gets pushed as well.

At least Pence wouldn't be a moment-to-moment liability like Trump. I'm happy to fight him tooth and nail on policy and rest easy knowing that I'm not going to wake up to find that he started a war with Canada or something.

They absolutely underestimated how hard it would be to keep him in line.

Two years. They will try to keep him under control for two years until Mike Pence will be eligible to run for re-election twice, and then they will stop protecting him.

Not gonna lie, that did make me feel better.

So, Trump was definitely ad-libbing like he had heard of Frederick Douglass before when he clearly had no idea who that is, right?

I kind of feel the same way. I mean, I'm not going to tell somebody not to speed run if they enjoy it, but it seems like you would get to a point where you just see games as speed run challenges and nothing else. It sounds like a really unpleasant way to experience a video game.

This video ( https://www.youtube.com/wat… ) pretty accurately explains why DK64 is just not a good game: in addition to there just being way too much stuff to collect, the game arbitrarily forces you to use a specific Kong to pick up specific items, even if you can reach them with another Kong. It winds up feeling…

Not only do the actors have zero chemistry, I don't recall the movie even giving a story-based justification for their romance. It really feels like they just hook up because the plot demands it, almost against their wills.

He really is the closest thing to a modern Kubrick, where everything he does is just a towering artistic success even though his subject matter is all over the map.

Wait, so it's not just about Liam Neeson getting hit in the crotch with a football? Oh wait, that says Hans Moland.

I think you could make a pretty cool show out of John Wick as long as they keep Keanu.

I'll be honest: I think this game is very overrated. I've tried to play it so many times and it just won't hold my interest. It has some cool ideas but it's wildly uneven and has aged pretty poorly in comparison to earlier SNES titles like FFVI and Chrono Trigger. In particular, I find the whole materia system really…

That roar may be the single best sound effect ever featured in a film. Even if the movie was just okay, it would have been worth making it just to feature that roar.

I assume this is code for growing weed.

It was a sad day when SAC finally lost the crown.

There are three arcade games from the late 70s/early 80s pre-Super Mario Bros. period that, in my opinion, advanced the medium more than anything else from that era: Space Invaders, Donkey Kong, and Pac-Man. Of the three, Pac-Man was certainly the most innovative from a pure gameplay perspective. That imperative to…
