The 80's games are the exact same ones that were up on GTA:VC websites from 2002. These were supposed to be the bad ports of arcade games made for their analog to the Atari 2600, the Degenetron. That this arcade version still has you swinging from green square to green square with your red square monkey sorta undermin…

I just want to say that I love that Capcom, even 20+ years later, has kept these remakes in the original 1998 timeline. Resident Evil just isn’t Resident Evil for me without CRT monitors all over the place.

I’m not going to comment on the rumors, for fear of jinxing it. Just wanted to second Lynch’s tweet about King County, WA. I visited North Bend and Snoqualmie literally two days ago as a birthday gift to myself, and found the people to be incredibly warm and inviting. From Twede’s Cafe to the Snoqualmie Falls gift…

Now what are the teens going to do to rebel and be cool? Oh, cigarettes will still be nice and legal? Good, glad to know our priorities are straight.

The funny thing is, I believe Castro when he says it wasn’t an attack on his age or mental fitness. I’d say the same thing to anyone who’d just contradicted themselves in less than two minutes. It’s the gasps from the audience it elicited that made this a story, and those gasps came because that’s where the…

The Space School intro is giving me strong Bucky O’Hare vibes.

Hmm... could use more trucks.

In other news, an area commenter tries to predict the contents of an internet article regarding Durex condoms and Spider-Man before clicking; realizes the name Spider-Man contains the letters S, P, E, R, and M; comments on it.

Flying cars and two-hour work week aside, I’m not sure the world of the Jetsons had its act together.

I miss channel surfing.  Twenty years or so ago, I had about one hundred channels, and I could cycle through all of them in less than a minute using only the “channel ^” button. Programs had a fraction of a second to get my attention, but if I saw a wicked speedboat stunt, or recognized the guy who played the dad on…

Just a guess...

If anything, the term Metroidvania isn’t really adequate because while Castlevania: Symphony of the Night takes many cues from the Metroid franchise, Metroid never borrowed Castlevania elements in return. Super Metroid isn’t a Metroidvania, it’s just a Metroid game, one that came out well before SOTN. But the term…

I’m just gonna say it: Cavemen was pretty alright, and it really did show potential during its short run.

“Logan” is a fantastic example that it can be done in a satisfying way. Part of that is because it really is the logical endpoint for Logan the character as portrayed across all the previous X-Men films. Maybe not so much the most logical endpoint for Xavier, but the other part is that 20th Fox’s X-verse is…

I include Indy because I think there’s something just as depressing about seeing a septuagenarian going through the heroic motions as if they’re the exact same person we last saw in action some 20 years ago. It implies a lack of growth in the character, and necessitates their ensuing adventures to be lamer just so…

I acknowledged that I hadn’t seen it yet, and at least inferred that “ST:Picard” has potential to be interesting and good. I can’t imagine it being worse than “ST: Nemesis,” at any rate. Regardless, its premise posits that Jean-Luc left Starfleet in shame or disgrace shortly after the last time we saw him on screen as…

Cripes. I haven’t seen this yet obviously, and Emoji Movie aside, shouldn’t discount Sir Patrick’s career choices, but I’m feeling some serious fatigue over the current “your childhood hero became a miserable shell and/or failure” trend.

Netflix has some searchable color bars / test patterns to help you calibrate your TV.  Souldn’t be too hard to find.

I knew what was coming. All I want to know was why Scott Lang’s house arrest ended before Clint’s. And if there were consequences for violating the terms, or did Clint indeed wait around at his empty house until he had his ankle monitor properly removed? Will Ross immediately arrest him right after Stark’s funeral…

It’s a great line, and it works a lot better than the montage/”Just A Girl” moment, because Vers was demonstrably trying to prove herself to Jude Law at the film’s start. That the line can be read either way (in the text, Carol has “nothing to prove” as a soldier to her former commanding officer, while the subtext is…
