I watched the first episode and came to the ending and was pretty shocked, then checked out the synopsises of the rest of the episodes and realized just what a great twist it was. Because...yes, we’ve seen this story before — in fact, if you’ve read the comic and seen the movie, you’ve already got two versions, so why…

Regardless of the controversy, Hogwarts was a pretty mediocre game and it sold because of the IP it was attached to. To imply that it was “snubbed” for awards is to forget that awards are for the actual game delivered, not for the marketing campaign or sales quantity.

It wasn’t misunderstood and there wasn’t any hidden…

Just knowing that there is a musical section isn’t really much of a spoiler. They are likely talking about the way the whole thing plays out, which is indeed really cool. 

Any actually indie game got snubbed by Dave the Diver. Great game, but pixel art doesn’t make it indie

I cannot stress enough that people should not watch this unless they have no interest at all in the game, but are curious what this thing is.

I think the definition of “indie” is vague enough that anything big enough won’t be considered “indie” and anything small enough will be considered “indie.” See Dave the Diver’s inclusion in the “best independent game” category and Baldur’s Gate 3's exclusion from it. Any “indie” game that’s good enough to win GotY…

Baldur's Gate 3 is an indie game.

Wait just a minute, you’re telling me that you think TotK is just more BotW, and then with a straight face don’t think the exact same criticism applies to Spider-Man 2. If anything Spider-Man 2 is far more derivative of its previous games than TotK is of BotW.

Personally I think they’re both excellent games well…

They dropped an Acme-brand anvil on Zaslav’s head, to be clear.

The real risk would be the movie then taking off and making a couple hundred million or something, which’d make Zaslav et al. look really stupid.

I’d pay good money to see Wolverine battle his evil clone son from the Age of Sinister timeline Pulverine.

WB’s choices make it clear they are actively embarrassed so many of their most successful film franchises are based on comic books. I’m hoping James Gunn’s love of the medium leads to more films that wholeheartedly embrace the comics that inspired them.

Seeing Ahti in that last screenshot makes me happy. I totally dig on the grumpy old janitor/deity/whatever he is.

Not much at all. Honestly, Control and the AWE DLC are more germane than the original. The original is highly relevant, obviously, but they go over the background there a lot more explicitly in game than they do the Control half. Ultimately you don’t need anything but AW2 to have a good time as long as you’re okay…

Did mainstream MCU fans ignore the Netflix shows? I feel like a lot of them watched Daredevil and some of them watched Jessica Jones and...some of them watched some Luke Cage and Iron Fist and that’s about it.

New Show to Be Just Like that Other Daredevil Show You All Liked, says Marvel guy

I guess the Gatcha.. Gotcha...

I completely get what you mean, and yet, God, I want Remedy to keep making shit like this. I crave their weird, maximalist approach to game. Their aesthetic sense jibes so well with my own that when I’m playing their games, I feel at home. 

It’s a low-stakes comedy where one of the main characters gets sent into a spiral because they overprepared for an elementary school semester. The major plot point of the series is that the principal of the school is a social media influencer who is more interested in doing TikToks and who has the job in the first…
