Yeah, they made some good points about the choppy performance of the Xbox meaning better to have a good single console release than a bad multiplatform. Microsoft releases have really been struggling last couple of years. But the reason I pointed out Japanese sales is because its the developers domestic market and…

Also there is only 468,000 Xbox X/S consoles in Japan, a whopping 1.4% market share. They arent losing domestic sales not porting it to Xbox.

Ahh yes whats the installed base of the Xbox X/S in Japan? 438,000 as of April, a console market share of just 1.4%. I am sure they are rushing to satisfy that market when Microsoft its offering cash to port it to their platform this time around.

Ive been expecting a reverse-International Version for some time. (For those that dont know Japan traditionally received a re-release of Final Fantasy games about a year later adding and changing content to be more like the western release like lowering the difficulty, introducing simplified talent trees, adding…

Only change from the book I found irritating in Season 3 first half was changing the kings underage son to be his younger adult brother, theyve also got started on showing his adult personality (though no longer being a child and skilled in spycraft makes some of the shift in response to upcoming events harder to…

Didnt hit home for me either, obvious shading of Apocalypse Now as Pike goes after a former subordinate who has gone native, while the title is a nod to Homers Odyssey and the island of drug addicts who consume the lotus flower and experience euphoric memory loss with no need for physical labour as the abundant flower…

170 hours of cutscenes of which the dialogue is three times the length of the LOTR Trilogy (so just under 30 hours), so there will be 140 hours of cutscenes without dialog?

This is happening because Paramount+ is merging with the studios other streaming platform Showtime meaning theres no room for childrens content.

Yeah, pain to kill and drop usually worse than normal elites.

From the UK perspective where Showtime has never had a presence and Paramount gives away its streaming service free to those with movie sat/cable packages as the broadcasters previously bought Paramounts movie channel packages before anyway, I guess *shrug*

He also claimed it would be flying again within 2 months after the last test flight destroyed the pad.

Looked like some of the Hulu Animaniancs revival DNA has gotten into Futurama.

I got the feeling they had decided after the merger to make Paramount+/Showtime an adult demographic channel and so were ditching ‘kiddie’ content to more appropriate broadcasters. There wasnt really much other content on the platform for kids anyway.

Venom films did well.

Yeah the last Shadow War ended then though there were a few continuation wars caused by their servants, e.g. Narn/Drazi/Centauri war instigated by the Drakh and the Drakh attack on Earth.

Animation is a bit wooden but I like the character models for the most part bearing in mind they likely had an extremely limited budget.

Its a quirk in the US that goes back to I believe to the intense motorbike/automobile competition in the 20's or 30's. To stop auto-manufacturer owned dealerships competing with independent dealerships by restricting stock or inflating wholesale prices most states banned the auto manufacturers from owning their own…

Plenty of meats arent refrigerated, cured or smoked joints, fermented sausages like Chorizo and Pepperoni, etc... And hard cheeses e.g. Parmesan, Pecorino, Gouda will also keep along with unopened Mozzarella.

Nah ysalamiri are lizards, they look like Chameleons or Geckos.

I think its just bait and switch, he was earlier referring to Jenova as ‘She’ and if you remember she also ‘died’ when being removed from the nibelheim reactor five years prior to the start of the story with her body then being kept in Tojo’s lab then reawakening and transforming into the appearance of Sephiroph after…
