I’m getting the impression that they are trying to make the game a bit more serious? It’s cool if they want to make it scarier, but I have this mental image of Leon being a goofy action hero full of gratuitous backflips and supplexes and chainsaw parrying with his adamantium knife.

It’d be like remaking RE5 and not…

The open contempt for the player’s time is really something. Why is the scroll speed so slow? Why do we have to look at the Barf Nebula for two full minutes while the word salad moves to the top of the screen? I assure you, Brian, I don’t need that time to recover after your searing truths. 

I love how "I like to do my own research" has become such a convenient shorthand for me to instantly dismiss the person saying it as a complete fúcking moron.

I’ll acknowledge that the original was interesting and creative and important, particularly for having a strong female lead in the early ‘00s (peak years of gaming being aimed at the teenage boy demographic). As you’ve said, I think the window for releasing a sequel that anyone has cared about has long passed, even if…

Dude that comic book goes for hundreds of thousands of dollars. He probably has plenty of his own but superman no. 1 is an extremely important book, and he ain’t got one.

I mean, Republicans should hate Superman. He’s an undocumented immigrant and a journalist.

Politicians are not your friends, no matter how much they love the same media you do.

Just do that anti-hero Prowler film you cowards! The Miles Morales game did most of the work on redeeming the guy.

Changing Ash is one thing, changing what is essentially your company’s mascot entirely by benching Pikachu from the anime has got to be terrifying. 

Only the eShop is shutting down, online services aren’t affected by this. I wouldn’t be surprised if Nintendo announces they’re turning online functionality off soon though.

Can’t speak to this game specifically since I haven’t played it but just based on description; I’m not really a fan of “haha look how terrible this game design is” jokes if you still make the player go through it and the only subversion is pointing out that it’s bad. Basically just telling the player “Look how little…

It’s not a tax thing but it is close: it’s to avoid paying residuals. Everytime someone watch an episode, some people who worked on the show (depending on contract) makes a couple dollars. WB Discovery would raher nobody watch the show than pay these couple dollars.

HBO Max has canceled Joss Whedon’s The Nevers and plans to remove the series from its servers entirely. Though “only the first half of the show’s 12-episode order has aired,” Variety notes “the remaining six could eventually stream on another platform” somewhere down the line.

What the hell is up with HBO Max kicking their own shows off their service? That is a bizarre self-own

While Gunn is clearly a parodyist through and through, often the key to good parody is a deep understanding and appreciation for the object of parody. I have no doubt that Gunn knows exactly what to do to make a straight Superman. He might not make it himself because that is not where his heart lies, but I’m sure he…

“I have no mercy for anyone who would use the deaths of children for gain, politics or fame” Musk said while completely missing the irony of the time he tried to do that when those kids were trapped in a cave

Inciting a violent insurrection? Fine.

Localization ain’t half of it. Do you know just how much content game companies must change or merely prevent themselves from using just to assume their games CAN release in China?

I have to point out that another failing of that 3D platformer is that it’s called Balan Wonderworld, not that I blame anyone for remembering differently.

Ahh, I remember when World of Warcraft launched in China and how a lot of that filtered back into the western client, suddenly Skeletons being removed from the game and replaced with zombies with no bones showing, decorative skulls disappearing, NPC animal Pandas that you could kill removed, blood going from red to…
