Outer Wilds. There’s no “the” in the game title.

Man I think Amazon (or someone else who cares) has had the rights to Old Man’s War for nearly a decade, and it’s still nowhere to be seen.

I liked Goldeneye AND had access to good PC games. The problem is, I had shit-ass internet at my house and none of my friends had good enough PCs to play games, but they did each have an N64. So it was cool to go over to a friend’s house and play 4-player split-screen multiplayer deathmatches. The controls sucked, the…

A cool riff on the Peter Pan story is the novel Lost Boy by Christina Henry. It’s like an origin story for Captain Hook, and it makes Peter look like...well, a giant asshole. Kinda turns the whole thing into a Shakespearean tragedy. I dug it!

Sigh. I was cranky yesterday and tried for G/O snarky wokeism and failed (serves me for trying to pander, honestly).

OH! And how about Hank stalking down the corridor with the lights buzzing/flashing from the jolts of electricity, and at the end of the corridor is the weird out of focus shape of something humanesque but we can’t tell what it is. That was so good.

That’s a good point, for some reason I was imagining that they’d inherited some farm or something but it’s been awhile since I’ve seen it. 

It’s a movie about a semi-competent middle-class straight white male who constantly fails upward while anyone around him who has a modicum of an independent thought, including women, people of color, and disabled veterans, constantly struggle to exist in a society that unfairly accommodates and celebrates semi-competen…

I’ve finally been playing through Breath of the Wild and I’ve come to the conclusion that a “bigger, more explorable world” isn’t always better. I’d much rather go onto a smaller world that is more densely populated with interesting shit rather than huge giant worlds that take real world hours to explore, only to find…

Watching this trailer makes me realize how much I really liked Prey. Man, I really like story-driven single-player games with RPG-like elements. 

I thought Lightyear Frontier was a sequel or spiritual universe to Journey to the Savage Planet and now that I realize that’s not the case, I’m a bit surprised in how similar they are in tone/aesthetic.

Bill Hader should direct horror movies. That scene in the jail cell is just impeccable and horrifying. The use of noise (one moment oppressive, the next deathly silent) in the beach scenes or when Sally kills the biker in the soundproof room (what a moment!) and the car chase scenes...man. He’s good.

I doubt he’ll be the same though. There but not “there” nawmean?

Hank’s 1000-yard stare said a whole lot. He killed two people, his buddies got eaten by a tiger, and his lover was just tortured and likely traumatized beyond any allowable threshold. My guess is that the electroshock will have serious emotional, mental, and physical impacts on Cristobal. I would not be surprised if…

Slightly off-topic, but: I was at the airport, eating a meal before my flight, sitting next to a middle-aged couple. While sitting there, they took out Covid tests and did the tests - thankfully negative, I overheard. But, like: what was the plan if they had been positive? We’re not wearing masks, we’re in a crowded…

There was a second season? Huh. We couldn’t make it through the first, got about halfway and said no thanks. Interesting concept, and Cristin is great, but...kinda weird overall.

I get it, Adam: Anchorman 2 sucked, The Other Guys really doesn’t hold up well at all, and the likely praise from Hollywood slacktivists surrounding The Big Short probably went to your head. But can’t you just go and do a Step Brothers 2 or slink into exec producing good TV shows rather than, I dunno, angrily lashing…

Correct all! Cecily Strong has not made any announcement regarding her leaving SNL. So the statement “Former SNL boss Lorne Michaels” is just, well, wrong.

I had no idea she was involved. Thank you for bringing to my attention as I will definitely give this a shot now! I love her. She was so good on Trial & Error Season 2. Where the ever-living-hell can I stream that show?!?

OMG TLoU3 is MP only!!!???!!! all over the internet.
