nah the game is still really big. it just isn’t the flavor of the week anymore.

I downloaded the PTR and dicked with it today. LOVE IT. They took their time to get a lot of art and architecture references in there and get the feel right. I’m 100% biased as an art history nerd that went to paris once, but this is skyrocketing to my favorite map in the game at the snap of a finger.

That’s really surprising, he has amazing history with the company. I wonder if he was expecting to be made the creative head of the studio after lasseter’s exit instead of Docter? Maybe he just wants to do live-action or something.

Still waiting for Good Omens. Come on Neil! 

Someone should make an open source version of Her Story where you can input any video that has subtitles into it and try to “solve” the mystery of what’s happening in the video by searching for key words in the subtitles. Solve the mystery of what Festivus is by logging that Seinfeld episode into it,or confuse the…

impressed with the footage in the trailer. The trailer for that Unsane movie has a lot more obvious iPhone-isms in the way it is shot, but it feels like Soderbergh and his colleagues have a better idea of how to harness their tech limitations with this second movie (or maybe they’re just using a newer iphone with a…

that statistic may be my fault. My buddy and I were playing the coop in portal 2 the past few days. really fun stuff.

You guys seem to be good at balancing between a casual conversational voice in some pieces with serious or in depth subject matter in others (or both at the same time sometimes even.) Is this by design or is it just how things naturally come out when you have a lot of different people writing different things?

commercials ruin everything. it’s why i generally don’t watch movie trailers anymore.

I used to dream of living in New York City, since I’m an artist and love the museums and cultural happenings there. But now I’m so disgusted by the rent and crowdedness that I now dream of owning a cabin in vermont somewhere isolated.

Nah, you’d be surprised at how little layering you need if you’re doing something active outside in the winter, especially if it’s a sunny and wind-free day. Like sometimes when on a long hike/walk I find myself taking my jacket off because my body heat is doing enough work for me. The gloves are for touching the snow…

I live in a colonial town and once shared a bunch of our historic homes on an instagram story and had a friend reply talking about how it reminds her of stuff she made/saw in Sims games and loved it. Funny to see your piece corroborate the game’s architectural power.

Something similar to this happened when I played Mafia 2 for the first time this year. There was a weird flashing black texture sometimes in the skybox that would grow as you played, eventually consuming you. It actually looked pretty interesting and was kind of terrifying to be slowly consumed by the erratic darkness.…

Super Bunny Hop deserves a lot of credit as a critic, his initial review talks a ton about the promise of the game and hoping it can be salvaged and made into something great.

Safe to say 4, 5, and 6 will be coming too. they all have had mobile ports (as well as a 3DS port for Apollo Justice.) Don’t forget that the Trilogy is about 60 hours of gameplay, so you don’t wanna overwhelm new players Kingdom Hearts style.

As a huge Ace Attorney fan that has heavily studied the late 19th century cultural exchanges between Europe and Meiji Japan (from an art historical perspective,) I am so desperate to play Dai Gyakuten Saiban. It’s like as if I went up my alley and found my cup of tea sitting right there.

read the interview. his show wasn’t cancelled. he said that he only had one shot to make this show because if he tried to make a second season everybody would just be figuring out that they’re talking to Sacha Baron Cohen the second something fishy happens.

Mine is currently between Hitman 2 and Red Dead Redemption 2. Hitman 2 is so amazing as an open sandbox that only asks me to kill the targets to win, and lets me figure out everything in-between. Red Dead 2 is the opposite as a very tight and restrictive game that doesn’t give you much experimentation outside the open…

you sure you like movies at all, man?

Definitely not interested in a mercy rework. She is totally fine and I see people playing and doing amazing things with her all the time, but I’m talking from silver/gold rank so I guess my experience is meaningless (an idea which one quoted person greatly pushes back against.)
