As both a hardcore Italian-horror fan AND an audio engineer I absolutely love Berberian Sound Studio, but I NEVER recommend it to anyone, largely because I can’t imagine anyone besides myself enjoying it. It’s the very definition of a niche film.

Two words...Forbidden Forest

Night Trap was a blasé Scream send-up with worse politics

This really needs more stars.

Bionic Commando for NES is one of my all time favorite games. I still play it from time to time on an emulator because it’s the ultimate video game comfort food to me. One of the greatest games ever made.

I genuinely can’t tell if this is sarcasm.

Essentially a film-length bottle episode...

Having never ever seen this film, holy shit I did NOT know Mojo Nixon was in it! Mind blown!

- The flipside to “Upgrade Your Gear” is that you shouldn’t try to max out any items you find early on. A lot of the items you find in the first half of the game have stronger versions or replacements available in the second half.

Siren aka Forbidden Siren. It’s a fantastic, creepy, weird survival horror game but it is incredibly opaque as to how to progress through the game. The game is played with different characters through a series of missions that are jumbled up in a non sequential order and you have to complete certain objectives in one…

Thaviks, Obama

This made me weirdly nostalgic.

I kind of love House of the Dead because is so spectacularly bad and hilarious. My friends and I still quote it while playing games “This book looks old, I think it can help us!” The rest of Boll’s films are unwatchable.

Baboon is only 41? I DEMAND A RECOUNT!

Well, Forrest Ackerman was going by Dr. Acula way back in the 40s, soooo...

“The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.”

Shadowrun now has a rules lite version called Shadowrun:Anarchy. It’s inspired by the indie-storytelling systems that empower players. It might be more your speed, the normal Shadowrun rules are absurdly complicated, and I say that as a devoted Shadowrun fan.

Agree to disagree. That’s a relatively recent interpretation of RPGs and not what it was about when Gygax and Arneson created it back in the 70s, where it had evolved from wargames. D&D started as a game first and foremost and the collective storytelling angle came about later. I’m not saying that collective…

There’s competition in it? Maybe I missed that part in the rules, but none of the Fiasco sessions I’ve ever played in had any competition or winners and losers. The rules only exist to give some structure to the play acting. I enjoy Fiasco well enough and totally see it’s appeal to people who wouldn’t necessarily like…

Fiasco can be a ton of fun, but it’s not in any way a role playing game. It’s an improv exercise. Yes technically there are dice, but the dice are so superfluous they don’t matter.
