Maybe I was just reading too much into it from a game-design perspective, but I always thought the Mozambique was supposed to be bad, because having a “bad” gun in the game makes all the other guns feel more useful and interesting by comparison. Like, if you drop in and the first weapon you find is a Mozambique, you…

Inside is amazing and should ideally be played with as little knowledge about it as possible. It is also one of the best examples out there for how much you can do with minimalist visuals when you’ve got stellar art direction, as it manages to be both “clean and simple” and also “atmospheric and gorgeous” at the same…

This article brought back all kind of stress for me as a former contract employee in LA (not at any of the studios mentioned.)

First, I don’t outright hate it, as several commenters seem to. There are elements that I don’t think are quite working, but there are also things to like about it.

My first impression was that it looks a bit like an LFA and a new NSX had a baby, but then that baby was put up for adoption and was subsequently raised by…

DrLupo is a high-quality individual.

That probably depends on the individual, particularly if the individual feels they are too much of a “grownup” to enjoy a Forza/Lego mashup.

I’ve put some time into the expansion and I think I can answer your questions.

Is it possible you are referring to the actual John Wick skin (seen above, labeled “new”?) Because yes, that one does look exactly like Keanu Reeves, as intended, and is an officially-licensed tie-in with John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum.

My interpretation has always been that Reaper was definitely meant to evoke John Wick while very deliberately not looking like him, probably for legal reasons.

Just to clarify, there are two distinctly different Forza lines; Forza Motorsport (currently at iteration 7) is a racing simulation geared primarily around a single-player campaign, and is probably the hyper-realistic game your roommate was playing. Forza Horizon (currently at iteration 4) is the offshoot series,…

Whoah. This is not at all what I was expecting, but I’m into it.

On paper, he should sit.

Nobody show this to Nik and Richard, or we’ll never see Project Binky completed...

Lest we forget, a site called Jalopnik informed us that the 2020 Kia Telluride is really big and really good, and it starts just a hair over $30,000. It looks professional (and pretty damn good, in my opinion, after seeing a couple of them driving around my town lately) and won’t be accused of being too fancy.

“Twitch needs to do more, and at this point, it’s bewildering that it hasn’t.”

I took one look at the image and headline and said, “More like AXE-BOX, am I right?”

To be fair, the gif in the post does make it look like a flop. However, when you see the side angle it is immediately clear that there was significant contact.

The cast is strong and I’m ready to root for Ford, with the GT40 being among my favorite cars of all time, but what sealed the deal for me was a minute into the trailer when I saw that James Mangold is the director.

A fair point, and I appreciate you taking the time to put together a well thought out comment to present that aspect. I am still doubtful, from everything I’ve seen/read about McMahon, that his reasoning was as thoughtful as yours, but I appreciate your point-of-view regardless.

A couple of guys from my high school were there in the arena that night and saw it happen. They said afterward that, even seeing it live, they weren’t sure at the time if it was real or if it was some kind of dark publicity stunt where a dummy had been dropped and taken away in an ambulance. I think the fact that the…
