Think he just did the Myst thing again over at Kotaku, which was...odd.

Nothing about that trailer says “I’m a 4-player co-op with roguelite elements” but hey, prove me wrong, Haenir Studios. Prove. Me. Wrong.

Andrew’s Flanderization has really been a detriment to the show, honestly. They don’t seem to know what to do with his character anymore.

Yeah I’d love if they’d port a bunch of the older games to Switch, personally. 

Tangentially related: Paul Dini wrote an excellent graphic novel about how Batman helped him through a brutal near-death experience called Dark Night: A True Batman Story. It’s very good, and could be an excellent companion piece to this book.

If a company forecasts they will make $10mil, but only make $9mil, that is, in the eyes of finance, money lost. Forecasted revenues determine yearly budgets which affect everything from development costs to overhead, not just for upcoming projects but even projects currently in development.

Waterworld, much like The Postman, would’ve been served better if it had been played as a serious movie. When both films do start to flirt with that seriousness, they’re genuinely enjoyable. It’s when they turn silly and “family friendly” that they lose what makes them interesting.

Last season was kinda rough, hoping this one’s tighter and funnier. Didn’t watch Human Resources or whatever it was called because that seemed like a lot. But also stoked to have more Big Mouth!

I’m not as warm on the Please Don’t Destroy sketches as others. They all kinda follow the same trajectory/beats and while they’re sorta fun, they don’t really do anything to stand out and make them memorable. Maybe if they didn’t film most of them in their office?

I’m seein’ double here - FOUR eyes!

That’s what I like about Adam McKay’s satire: it’s real subtle. Nuanced. You almost don’t even realize it’s satire! That’s why Vice and Don’t Look Up are such cinematic masterpieces. You have to rewatch them at least a couple times to really pick up on the underlying messages. I almost thought this was a real ad for…

Ah, had to play the ol’ game of “Ro’ - Mac’ - ‘Bo” to choose which one, eh?

Dude, it’s $5 a month. Even if it took you two months to catch up on Mythic Quest/Ted Lasso, that’s half the cost of a month of Netflix. Then just cancel until new seasons come out, it’s pretty simple.

I found it was much harder to find decent single-handed weapons than double-handed, which was frustrating because the double-handed weapon swings were soooo slow. I preferred the sword and shield method, but since shields also broke, I found myself being forced on long hauls to use Moblin clubs or something more often…

“Some current and former Ubisoft developers speculated the game would have been canceled long ago if not for the hundreds of millions spent and a contract with the Singapore government to eventually ship the game in return for generous tax subsidies.”

Keep politics out of games (streaming sites)!!!! 

Like most of his videos, it’s pretty hard to tell where he’s being sincere, sarcastic, or self-deprecating (sometimes all three at once!) so I’d take a lot of his big claims about how important he is with a tiiiiiny grain of salt, y’all.

Credit where it’s due: they all actually look pretty good and it’s not distracting. This is actually really fun, I dig it.

Rigged election, there wasn’t even a vote! 

NYFW goes NSFW?
