“So, what are you into?”

I’m glad this article didn’t mention the idea of a “space elevator” (other than in passing in the segment on an Orbital Ring.) Space Elevators are simply not within the realm of possibility for a couple of good reasons. For one, there is no suitable material out of which to build the tether/tower. The carbon…

The Strangers.

It was also the last Oceans to feature Pete Posthelwaite as loveable ex-IRA explosives expert Liam Limerick.

I know it’s got some plot hole issues, but I’ve always had a soft spot for “Ocean’s 6" because it balanced screwball comedy with the heist so well.

Watched “Ocean’s 1" through “Ocean’s 7" to get caught up before the eighth one.

I played Alien Isolation, and found it more frustrating than scary. With all the repetition the game requires, familiarity starts to set in quick, and that is the death of horror! Having to repeat a sequence over and over again after getting caught by the Xenomorph means you eventually figure out the patterns. You…

Thanks! And yep, agreed. While I’ve never played the God of War games, I’ve heard of their reputation for awesome QTE boss fights, and I definitely was impressed with how well honed the QTE sequences are in RE4. There’s definitely a way to do QTEs right in a game but as with all design tools it’s REALLY easy to…

The key takeaway from that Borderlands story is, in my opinion, to never play a sniper. Then again, I may be a bit biased — I HATE SNIPERS!!!!!!!!

I think there are four great Resident Evil games: 1, 2, 4, and 7. With the exception of 2, those are all the ones that do something really new and different (2 is just a great refinement of the first game’s formula). Out of the whole series, Resident Evil 4 is probably the most overtly ridiculous and there’s no good…

We used to play Destiny together, which is a weirdly good primer for the world of ARPG’s. It’s funny how the yellow/green//blue/purple colour scheme became universal for loot.

It’s actually been a while since I’ve posted here, just having bad timing every Friday. But here I am to say that I’m still playing Celeste. Slowly but surely (helped by the fact that it can be taken on the go), I’m getting closer to 100%ing it. I’ve also just been playing the game as I want to, not letting myself…

Practically all the things that go wrong in The Lost World, including the destruction of the communication equipment that would have gotten everyone off the island and spared numerous deaths, can be laid at Vince Vaughn and Julianne Moore’s characters.

Oh right, it definitely helps if you are there personally. Then the game has to fully simulate the battle including all your defenses.

A friend is visiting from out of state this weekend, and as such games will be of more the multiplayer variety. I’m certain Dominion will be played multiple times, as when we visited him we played it for hours straight. We have a few other board games like Sushi Go and Hanabi, but we will see. As for video games, Mario…

I’m chugging along in Rayman: Legends. As of last night, I’ve earned all of the trophies and saved all of the Teensies in each world except for Living Dead Party and the Rayman: Origins paintings, neither of which I’ve even started.

Even though I have Dark Souls Remastered, I’ve only played about an hour of it so far- I think I finally hit my limit with Souls games for the time being. So I’m still on that Borderlands 2/Fallout 4 rotation strategy. I started some new characters for variety- I had never played as Salvador in Borderlands 2 (Axton is…

This weekend I’m primarily going to be playing PixelJunk Monsters 2 and Yoku’s Island Adventure; I’ve started the former and love it, but I only downloaded the latter last night. I’m also hoping to continue playing Kingdom Hearts Final Mix on Sunday - I just finished up Atlantica, which I enjoyed more than anticipated.

He also has a dog get eaten by a T.rex, a year after Independence Day takes time from thousands dying in a fireball to reassure audiences that a brave dog is leaping to safety.

“Ocean’s 8... is... a perfect... movie! Sandra Bullock... reveals... her... pleasure... in... the bathroom!”
