I don't see what the band's estate is so upset about— we've been specifically told that we don't need TV if we've got T. Rex, so I think that film would fall under the same purview and thus would pose no threat to the band's legacy.

Hell yeah.

Ryan Gosling was already in a movie about motherhood. It was called Only God Forgives, and he and his mother had a very close relationship in which she encouraged him to support the family business.

I have played way, way too much Phantasy Star Online to not pick it— it was also the first game I ever played that let you forget with stuff on the loading screen (moving a sparkle around, making something change colors), and, like everything else about the game, the noises and visuals are seared into my lizard brain.

"Oooooh, guns guns guns!"

They all are. We are in a Verhoeven film.

I think my favorite David Cage moment is in Beyond, when the mean teens declare their intention to bully the troubled outside by declaring, and I quote verbatim, "Let's do something to her."

Inside was my favorite game of last year and I preferred it to Limbo in almost every way— it's scary and weirdly beautiful, and it only gets better and better as it goes on. I hope you have fun!

A God Hand 2 would be just fucking amazing. Alas, Capcom owns the rights, while everyone who made it bailed for Platinum— even if we did get a sequel, it wouldn't have the same geniuses working on it.

I love Until Dawn because its developers realized what kind of game they were making. It's not narratively ambitious, it's not trying to be deep— it recognizes that the mechanics of that type of game design best inform making a really fun teen horror film that won't be limited by the medium and can play within the…

I'm sure he stabbed that one guy in the part of the heart that you don't need, and that the flamethrower-holding mook who exploded immediately jumped in some water.

Maybe! McCrory cut the state film subsidies in 2014 and replaced them with a rebate system (meaning that cheaper indie fare and TV Shows had way less incentive to film here), but Cooper's looking to bring them back.

Aww, but then we wouldn't have gotten the adorably awful JCVD vehicle Cyborg out of its leftover sets and costumes!

They're not nonsense, they're bastardized Russian filtered through a child's brain. Which is, uh, more appropriate, now that I think about it.

Yeah, I hadn't seen that before. It's one of the worst things I've ever read and just skin-crawlingly weird. Can't quite believe he still has that on his website and apparently isn't ashamed of it.

Very good Peter, you know your alphabet!

I had not seen the copyright— he was 28 when he first published it, which is still about ten years too old for that shit. And he was reading it at festivals and the like as recently as a few years ago, which, Ernest, dude, it specifically talks about how sexy high school girls are, maybe reconsider that.

It's not a bad thing to have references, but it's a bad thing when they're all that's there. And the references aren't an added bonus to the story— the story is literally our protagonist following a breadcrumb trail of references. His main skill is knowing references. He wins the game because he can make the…

Dude is 45 years old and publishing spoken-word poetry about how much he wants to fuck hot geek girl high school students, Jesus Christ deliver us from the Nerded Age.

Follows the most obvious route and is blandly unchallenging? Why, I'm shocked that Ready Player One would be associated with this.
