Second one definitely feels like its a middle part of a trilogy. The dramatic and psychological aspects of our titular Creep meeting someone who does not act the way they plan and doesn’t have the level of control they’re used to was very interesting. But it never had that visceral punch the first one had, where…

Oh yeah something closer to Wolfenstein and the 2016 Doom where you still have time to breathe, explore, solve puzzles and do more than just do wave after wave of enemy would be better. Also, Hexen would work better with a more traditional storyline and narrative format like in Wolfenstein than what they did for Doom.…

I worked in a game store when that craze started. Skylanders seemed to be the only one where the “toys” part of toys to life was actually thought out. Kids liked they toy design and actually played with Skylanders without always needing the game. The games also worked really well as games without the toy factor, so it…

While it would have been a very Adam Reed style thing to do to have the show abruptly end with a character just dejectedly going “Well...shit” I’m glad its going to get more closure. We actually got pretty deep in to the lives of most of these characters, especially Archer and Lana, and it’d be nice to get some better…

Hexen done in the same vein as the modern Dooms would be fucking amazing. Multiple classes would be a fun mechanic to keep playing with, and the storyline is just such classic old school dark fantasy. They just need to embrace the 90s white knuckle action, give us giant maps and puzzles, and make it so metal that it…

I hope those keep getting some love because I really love the smaller scale CRPGs we’ve gotten with those IPs. Though, I do feel like Shadowrun could be an IP that would work well in a GTA or Fallout style big budget game.

Agreed, there’s so many shows with such short seasons that most of my streaming services I only sub for a month, watch it all, then cancel. I think they also forget that a lot of genre shows (not all) should have a little extra in terms of episode orders because some of the most beloved episodes of shows can be the…

If you can handle the inherent issues with old games its worth checking out. The characters in the game are a lot different than you might think based on the pop culture representations. A lot of what we think of the FF7 characters came from stuff after the game. Its one of the reasons I was pleasantly surprised that…

I recently replayed the entire “Baldur’s Gate Trilogy” where BG 1, SoD, BG2 and ToB are all combined in to one continuous game, and it is very striking just how much things like the characters change. BG2 is one of my favorite games of all time, but I didn’t replay BG 1 as much. I liked the extra areas, the…

Yeah “we tore them apart to build new shit and threw away anything too corrupted” seemed a lot more like where they were going with it just based on what was in game.

FYI Lae’zel the Gith Warrior is a party member. It doesn’t take long after the Nautiloid crash to find her again, and it should be impossible to make it to the first town without seeing her again, but just in case you don’t see her by the time you reach the grove, go back and look.

For Saw, while the crazy traps were a big draw, it didn’t take long for most of the fanbase to be showing up to see what insane shit is going to happen next in the story. I think the marketable villain thing was more of an 80s thing as that’s the era when they seemed to be going hard at trying to launch as many horror…

Oh yeah its still one of the perfect slasher movies in just how right it got the killer’s motivation. Leaving so much of it up to interpretation, and basically letting us just judge who/what the killer is based on his actions and words.

Not to mention marketability of the villain. Sometimes it can be hard to tell just what audiences will latch on to as an icon so the weirdest stuff will turn in to a franchise.

You’re correct. Agnes is referenced very obscurely, but that was it in the original. The 2006 remake is the one that went ALL IN on the backstory, in true ‘00s fashion by basically putting every possible concept hinted at in the original in to the backstory. While it is obviously nowhere as good as the original, its…

Yeah, cluster headaches are no joke. It took me years to get mine diagnosed because my small town doctors didn’t believe that a young male would have those problems (as well as a few other issues like fibromyalgia). When I finally had more healthcare options and got to see a neurologist in my 30s they told me he could…

But they gave him a backwards hat! Who needs expensive de-aging CGI when you can just give people a backwards hat?

The Chappie guy even tried to sue the show for setting him up for failure and ruining his reputation.

God damn that reply from Fetterman is incredible.
