Can the aliens hurry up and get here so they can wipe out humanity, please?

We truly live in the stupidest timeline.

Rooster Teeth has WarnerMedia money now, though. Is it really fair to call them “independent”? (For the record, I think RWBY mostly looks fine.)

The pilot was a little awkward and suffered a bit of cliché, but I thought the second episode was a cracking good time. Based on the premise, I thought the show would be dealing mostly with political themes - your standard democracy vs. authoritarianism setup. But I’m pleasantly surprised that the show seems to have…

I’ve been playing the delightfully bizarre open-world-ish 2D puzzle platformer Pikuniku. I can’t really describe the game; it’s the kind of thing that you just need to experience for yourself. Twitch Prime was giving it away for free, so I’m playing it on PC, but it feels like the kind of game I’d enjoy playing on my…

The twice-weekly gaming threads (Monday and Thursday) at The Avocado are a good place to start:

Yeah, I have to agree. At this point, memory wiping feels like a cheap trick. There are other ways to create dramatic irony, and I’m not a fan of one that’s this contrived.

“I know the difference between agenda driven fake news and reality, and I am very comfortable with this decision. In America people are innocent until proven otherwise.”

Fucking hell. This is like the shittiest version of “Game recognize game.” Lerner and Singer can both go to hell.

A few weeks ago, I would have said Incredibles 2 was a lock, but Spider-Verse has the Golden Globes momentum.

I appreciate that she did try to reach out and get Sevakis’s side, but I have to point out that it does expose a problem with the way these stories are discussed in the media. Sevakis is a well-liked figure in the anime community who has ties to anime journalists; he has the connections required to get his side of the…

The past few weeks have been relatively gaming-light for me, so I’m going to dive back into a few games this weekend. I’ll see if I can pick up where I left off in Yakuza Kiwami 2. (I don’t know if I remember the plot, but I’ll figure it out.) I’ve also got Bayonetta and Deltarune to get back to.

Plemons so completely nails his role in this film. I don’t know how he was able to pull off that cadence without bursting into laughter every time.

I know I’m going to sound like a broken record bringing up NieR:Automata again, but game developers should use it as a point of reference for how to integrate multiple genres into a single game (hack and slash, RPG, 2D platformer, 3D platformer, top-down brawler, twin-stick shooter, shmup, text adventure) and make…

Maybe the plan all along was to stage a disastrous music festival and profit off the ensuing documentaries. :D

So many commenters like you who were regulars on the old AV Club site (yes, I remember you!) are now stuck in “the greys” because the Kinja team so badly botched the account merging process.

*TV series.

It was a really good movie, and I think a TV with the same tone could work, but they’ll have to completely rewrite the plot.

I love Tom Holland, but I do not want to see a Nathan Drake origin story on film. (We already got pretty decent ones in Uncharted 3 and 4.)

YIIK and Sekiro are the games on this list I’m most looking forward to. I’ve been wanting to play YIIK for literal years, so I’m excited that it’s finally coming out this week. As for Sekiro, previous From Software games haven’t really appealed to me, but the combat here looks a little more dynamic, the traversal…
