It’s theoretically possible, but in a mobile streaming situation where the phone and controller have to stream and constantly transmit info, 60 fps gaming could be prohibitively data and battery intensive 

It had a MiB sequel feel to it, where the looked at everything that felt fresh about the original and decided they were immutable franchise hallmarks that had to be replicated or riffed on, all while over-saturating the color for some reason.

If you’re getting a call from a lawyer in a foreign house you’re otherwise unaffiliated with, that lawyer is able to track you down. How many above board ways of doing that are there?

I feel like Sabi may or may not be committing a crime, but Nintendo definitely has a shady-ass fixer on their payroll and that’s depressing

“This one is tanking but we’ve already shot the sequel. So, who’s ready for Godzilla vs. Kong: Dark Phoenix?”

I get your argument for 1, but people have been saying the same thing about animated films since The Jungle Book. Adding famous people isn’t inherently good or bad (that comes down to implementation), but it’s hard to pin it to an artistic inferiority complex as much as marketing pressure.

It’s crazy to me that Porygon has been downplayed in Pokemon marketing for decades now because it’s so strongly associated with this seizure incident. In a just world, it would be downplayed because it’s problematic name references a Japanese accent on the word “Polygon”

Cole sacrifices himself in that game’s canon ending, saving humanity

A sandwich that you can get with better ingredients in every city except Philadelphia. Civic pride should not involve Cheese Whiz

I feel like describing a movie you didn’t release while promoting the one you did doesn’t happen unless you’ve pretty much checked out mentally from the project

X-Men movies tend to get graded by the quality of two or three action scenes and one or two drama scenes, if the movie nails those 3-5 scenes it’s considered a “good” one and everyone forgets the other scenes happened. Otherwise they’re all just very good/famous/pretty actors performing a Saturday morning cartoon…

Second Son is the shortest of the three by a significant margin, and you should have a good sense early on if the game is worth playing through. All the story criticisms from this article rang true to me. The gameplay was the highlight, even if the “new” powers weren’t too different from the previous games.

The plot and characters of the first game are the most shallow by far, but that’s not saying too much. Cole’s generic “seen it all” mentality works better in the second game mostly because by that point he had seen a lot and his death actually felt earned. Second Son could not pick a tone and never really topped 2 in…

I don’t think they’ll mess with the budgets, they’ll just go for that broad audience appeal that HBO has always positioned its programming as an alternative to. Get ready for Entourage: The New Class 

Damn, I really liked the pilot. It reminded me a bit of the first season of Tru Blood, and I mean that as a compliment

“and they can’t hope to compete with PCs from a technical standpoint, especially given the technical literacy of the audience that prefers PC games.” 

That’s what I mean, they’re aiming to replace consoles which means winning over an audience that’s already well-served and comfortable, warts and all, and they can’t hope to compete with PCs from a technical standpoint, especially given the technical literacy of the audience that prefers PC games.

Google is positioning this as a console instead of a PC competitor? Stadia would never replace my Playstation or Switch, but I’d love to stream stuff that never makes it to (or never plays well on) consoles like strategy games to my dinky Chromebook

The script seemed written by translation software. I don’t actually mind the location transplant and the new dinosaurs were fun, but basically every plot point or line of dialogue was egregiously bad. If a decent writer or two had airdropped in there was a decent Hammer Horror style mad scientist movie in there

There is so much culture involved in this yeast
