I’m surprised people want that. I feel every game now is an open world. I never managed to finish the third game because it was so full of stuff to do. It’s great, but at the same time, it is so overwhelming, I stopped when I reached Novigrad, after playing for 60 hours already, because it felt I did 10% of the game…

Think the real magic lies in the amount of time that’s passed combined with how dated the mechanics have become. Dead Space is close to 14 years old, but it’s aged like wine on PC, whereas RE 2&3 were overdue. 4 is a harder call since it’s aged gracefully.

As it stands I’m excited for other people to play through 4…

A Corto Maltese show! YAY!!!!!!

I’ve read the comics, and seen the animated series, so genuinely excited at the prospect of a Corto Maltese series, though the though of Miller working the same “magic’ on it that he did on The Spirit has me filled with dread.

“Deadline reports Sin City creator Frank Miller has teamed with Studiocanal and visual effects supervisor Phil Tippet for a six-episode series based on Hugo Pratt’s Corto Maltese.”

It’s always best to believe the perpetrator over the accuser.

One bummer is that it seems like a lot of the season 1 directors aren’t available to come back. But I’m still hopeful.

My young elementary age kid and I watched it together and despite her being restless from time to time... she still loved it, and had lots of thought provoking questions about the show (often she was confused by the motives of some characters... ‘why is Cel trying to kill Cassian??’)

• So we just kind of dropped that thread on Cass’ sister after the first few episodes, huh? Guess that’s a season two thing.

Also gotta love that Brasso got to clock some stormtroopers with Maarva’s Brick! What a send-off. Her actual bodily remains got to punch some fascists.

It’s not even close. This is the best Star Wars TV show of all time.

Honestly, I was about to be thrilled that a scowling villain would get trampled to death by those they had oppressed. 

My best shows of the year are a tie with Andor and Interview with the Vampire with HotD and LotR: TRoP coming in second.
I really love Severance though so I absolutely cannot argue that someone would put it at #1.
Man! It’s been a great year for TV!

The best show of the year was Severance.

Andor is the best Star Wars since the original trilogy.

This sounds like the people who made all those Left Behind movies had some money left over.

Elsewhere, a Satanic biotech company plans to clone Jesus Christ so they can sacrifice him to the devil in the trailer for The Devil Conspiracy

Now that I think about it, the increased diversity and stuff in big franchise films sure feels like studios have given up on chasing the Chinese market.

This is the same groupthink that led them to try to portray Biden as scary using this picture:

If we’d just done the same and declared victory in the war on drugs thirty years ago we really could have saved a lot of money(and funded fewer coup attempts?).
