Bill Skarsgård is an objectively handsome guy, and in a blander way than, say, his brother Alexander. It’s funny that not only has he made a name playing horror villains, but that the directors and co-stars of those films can’t shut up about how much he actually looks like a murder clown or an undead Transylvanian…

Mett, Matamorpho.

I actually appreciated his performance a lot more once I read that he was channeling Max Landis, but yes, his take was a huge departure.

Of course he does, He’s Swedish. Whole damn country is just pale hot people who could be undead. 

Hundreds others needed medical attention? In that case cancelling was the best thing to do.
If this is such a problem and if it has been a problem in the past, maybe they shouldn’t schedule concerts for this time of year.

You know it’s a slow year for RPGs when Lies of P (possibly the worst name for a video game in history) makes the list. No disrespect to P as it’s a very competent and interesting Soulslike, but that seems like a stretch.

I installed Skyrim over the weekend, saw it was on Gamepass thought ah well screw it. Installed some graphic mods, started playing..... And I lost 3 hours! LOL

As a huge Bethesda fan who has put more than 10,000 hours into Skyrim over the years (and even, yes, loved Fallout 76), Starfield at the very least has serious pacing issues that prevent it from reaching the heights of the other goty nominees. This year was absolutely stacked, so I think in other years, it would at…

Starfield was not ghosted, it wasn't deserving. 

That’s part of the issue. The other issue is that there’s just nothing interesting to find. BGS made a handful of unique POIs, then copied and pasted them across thousands of planets. Once you realize this, the appeal of exploration goes out the window because you know you’re just going to “discover” things you’ve…

Maybe? But I feel like they set themselves up for it. Microsoft literally described Starfield as one of the most important RPGs ever made, and then it barely even made the list of nominees. I think if they’re going to oversell it like that it’s fair to call them out.

Starfield honestly lacked the charm of skyrim or fallout. I think it was mainly an issue in how you traveled. It was all insta-teleport which removed most of the exploration wonder that it could have been.

What, there’s no category for ‘game that managed to completely meet everyone’s expectations both positive and negative?’ No award for ‘game that contained not a single surprise’? Voted number one in the category of ‘sure is the kind of game you’d expect this company to make in 2023 without any internal shakeups or…

As long as he didn’t shoot anyone, it’s cool.

I thought it had some weak sketches but Chloe Troast’s orphan song was enough to swing this up into B+ territory. But I would rather have two great sketches and four stinkers than six mediocre snoozes.

That’s why Micheals insists hosts read from the cue cards.

Absolutely nothing about the way he handled the Rust incident made him more likeable. 

(rimshot)

Not sure why it would be ‘prickly’, most sane people felt sorry him after what happened. Not on the scale of Hutchins and her family, but still. The litigious persecution, and the prospect that they might try and nail him *again* just made everyone feel more sorry for the guy.

I seem to recall him talking to a gaggle of reporters shortly after the shooting. I remember thinking his lawyer probably would be mad at him.
