It’ll be hilarious 5-10 years from now when the nostalgia brainworms convince folks that the Disney sequels are good.

“Wait...is this just Mass Effect 3 as a hack and slash?” was something I pondered during the gameplay video. Based on the UI in the command screen, it looks like you can give orders to squadmates to do special moves, but none of the tactical control.

Which is a shame, because the success of Baldur’s Gate 3 demonstrated…

“That’s not what we mean by asset liquidation!” 

“I hope the latest installment of the forced-pregnancy alien franchise isn’t too rapey.” 

Those notes and all the sand just made me want to play Metal Gear Solid V again. 

This looks hilarious. I, for one, welcome the return of “leather duster edgelord” chic. 

There’s some old concept art for a “dino-human” hybrid thing that was being explored for a Jurassic Park 4 in the 2000s. New art from cancelled version of ‘Jurassic Park 4’ | Jurassic Outpost 

See, that actually makes me look forward to the rest of the season. I thought all the other seasons “blue balled” me with some Scooby-Doo-ass explanation that undercut the aforementioned “vibes”.

Different strokes, I guess?

Thank you. Every single season so far has thrived by creating an atmosphere of lurking dread that’s a little occult in nature. Each season then undercuts that atmosphere with “reveals” near the season’s end.

Knowing this I stilll come back each time! That’s how much I love the vibes and take each season’s weaknesses…

Technically, the 2014 Godzilla was the first “Monsterverse” film, but Godzilla vs. Kong feels like such a tonal departure that it probably feels like a different franchise to folks. 

What if rejection were made as interesting narratively/mechanically as succeeding? Would this issue with a player pursuing a character that’s not into them still be a concern?

Hear me out: romantic rejection roguelike. The Dark Souls of dating sims. You will experience rejection in place of You will die. 

Shibboleths by way of Family Guy-esque gags and references. 

I thought it was weird how in Ahsoka, Sabine’s first scene felt very much like a riff on that first Young Kirk scene in Star Trek (2009). That deflated a lot of my expectations. It also didn’t help that I didn’t have a lot of familiarity with the Rebels stuff.

The cast seemed to be having a good time though. 

Clearly they need to escalate things further for the titling. If the first trilogy was Jurassic Park, and the second trilogy was Jurassic World, then new film’s gotta be Jurassic Galaxy.

Dinosaurs in space! Raptors on a space-station! This franchise has gotten stupid, so embrace it. Do for dinos what the Fast and the…

It’s almost like people who whine about Kennedy have no idea what an Executive Producer’s role is in the project. 

I guess what I mean is that narratively the story is unfinished. There are threads that are introduced and never resolved, stuff that is resolved feels rushed.

This is probably more of an inadvertent commentary on how stories play out in Kojima titles in general, as opposed to a claim about the game’s internal…

As someone who got into the franchise through V (Summer Steam sale during the pandemic), I thought the Sutherland’s performance was pretty decent. The worst part of just how little there actually was. It’s clear once you get the the game’s second half that the story is basically unfinished.

Going back to the older…

YES.

Have Snyder direct it. Then a have soundtrack with songs like Where we Droppin? (ft. Pitbull) by Nickleblack.

And I shall feed on the internet’s collective cringe and wailing like a psychic vampire while the movie inexplicably makes a billion dollars.

Oh, no, I won’t actually see the movie.

I always enjoyed his stuff in a B-movie sort of way. He’s clearly trying his absolutely damndest and definitely has some kind of vision or whatever, but it comes out in the corniest, memeable way possible. I don’t know if “campy” is the right word to apply to Kojima’s stuff, but that’s how I tend to appreciate it. 

She’s such a complex and interesting character for someone so adjacent to my planted explosive barrels.
