Eh, I’d still put this one over Annihilation. The effects and fight choreography alone make it better, plus Kano is awesome.

Oh, that’s not all. The first movie had a LOT of stuff seep into the games.

No, you don’t ground it, you lean into the crazy. The franchise needs a James Gunn-esque director to tackle the movie.

I’m kinda hoping this means Nitara will be a dlc character for MK11. She could use a design overhaul like Tanya and Tremor received back in MKX. Her appearing in both this movie and last year’s animated Scorpion-focused animated movie would just be odd otherwise.

I was hoping for something other than Fighting For The Fate Of The World™.

Watched this a few days back when it opened locally. It’s not bad honestly. There’s some weirdness, the acting is generally decent, with the specific exception of Kung Lao and Liu Kang, who have a weird fucking dynamic together, and the Kung Lao actor seems to be reacting to bits that only he can see.

Yea... I hate to say it, but the first movie actually had a better story.

For the games, definitely. For 9/X and *especially* 11, the Story Mode was the #1, #2, and so forth selling point. A whole lot of story and not a whole lot of gameplay in the MK11 launch trailer!

“Aziz Ansari’s Master of None, a show that no one remembered”

Oh my god, I’ve been playing MC2 again since Rockstar messed up on Steam and these are so great. Certainly dated but the lines, old CG character art and voice acting makes it hilarious.

For what it’s worth, I try to use slideshows sparingly, and only when the format really fits the story — e.g. highlighting apps on their own little page. 

Always wild to me that people come to this BLOG and expect every story to be groundbreaking content about EA making a dinosaur game or something. This is an interesting tidbit and completely within the usual wheelhouse.

You know what they say, if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything.

Which is why I’m not saying anything now. :|

Hey have you thought about relaxing and not being weird about video games online?

Nobody else races ovals, street circuits and permanent road courses, Indy is amazing.

Holy hell! I’ve never seen this game until now. Dear lordt that is hella smooth! Thanks!

To be fair, I don’t think the Alto’s Oddyssey devs are ABOUT accuracy/realism as far as I can tell, they are about chill session gaming with relaxing music and mild engagement. Ironically, I don’t think Skate City is for people who play Skating games.

Nah, Matt Gaetz probably has something fancier than a Santa Fe.

Man, such a narrow view of the world. My friends and I are over 30 and we play fortnite. I stopped playing couple weeks ago since Monster Hunter Rise came out, but I still have a bunch of friends who play regularly.

This is so powerful and so absolutely true and correct.
