Boy. I loved these games but they’re rough to revisit.

I love LBA... nostalgically.
I feel like for it to work today, it’d need to be a full remake (complete with reimagined controls/movement/hit penalties rather than just recreated) because I am not putting myself through that again. It was even frustrating back then.
It was absolutely the world, characters and graphics…

HOLY SHIT!!! I played the second game a ton and was always absolutely amazed by it. It was so unique, and in 3D, at a time where mostly everything was still in 2D, I loved it to bits. The story was great, the puzzles, the environments... God damn, what an amazing news!!!

Why does David go from “you broke my finger, im gonna killll uuu!” to “the fight is my favorite part, now i’m a pedo and i’m going to rape you” in the span of an hour?

I didn’t get immediate sexual assault vibes, more that he was trying to subdue her while spelling out her future as his child bride — almost as horrific, of course.

Huh, this is timely, considering I just watched it for the first time last weekend.

Every time in the game when Joel goes in the water I think “Well, so much for those molotovs!”

I’m not arguing against your first point because I agree, but:

Origins didn’t take creative risks.

They nailed the clickers. My reaction to that scene was basically a lot of head-nodding and finger-snapping approval 😁Prosthetics, audio design, and movement all replicated perfectly. And I think Bella Ramsay has been an awesome Ellie so far. Her lovable sass is the whole deal! (I can understand viewers who have seen…

There is a typo in the article. Vittorio Sgarbi is the person referenced above, misspelled. He is a right wing blabbermouth art historian who is more interested in exhibitionism and TV appearances than curating quality art. Keep in mind Italy is headed by a far right government so having Sgarbi appointed to a position…

It’s all part of the Abusing Other People’s Children Cinematic Universe.

I admit that I feel bad for Chevy Chase when it comes to this film.

THANK YOU she was fucking terrible in Mandalorian, it’s mind-boggling that anybody wanted her to lead a series.

All the crew members got paid. It’s anyone who was expecting royalties that’s screwed.

two things, 1. i think it’s worth acknowledging that i’d be more annoyed about performance issues had i paid $60 and not received a review copy 2. things should be expensive to compensate workers well and fairly, but most of a video games’ $60 is not going to the people that made it (as far as i know).

i’d love to see…

1. I wasn’t loving Cooke’s performance until this week. She was really leaning too heavily on eye rolls and exasperated looks in her dealings with Rhaenyra and Viserys and basically anyone else who opposed her. But this week it was her episode, front to back, and she did a good job.

The only good prequel is Temple of Doom
