Metroid: Other M(yles)

Maybe instead of saying “6-7” kids should be saying “Civ 7” and encouraging each other to play a game that develops patience and a keen strategic mind. #Civ7

Seeing F1 and NFL sports posts and it’s making me think there should be more crossover. The Ferrari car company should own an American football team and the city of Cincinnati should own an F1 car.

Bought a pair of RAM sticks for $100 last November through a combo deal on Newegg, bought another pair this May for about $20 more which may have just been the non-sale price. Now? $438. Because every few years some component has to be needlessly expensive because of market speculation or some shit

Just one more licensed song bro, just one more. Just one more licensed song bro and our prestige TV show will feel culturally relevant and apiece with some of the most recognizable works of history, bro.

Randomly remembered that brief time when the Chris Evans Knives Out sweater was like the Drive jacket but for a different kind of guy.

If they can’t put a Mr. Bean model on Nexus Mods for Hitman because of likeness IP then could they at least put his iconic brown suit and tie? Maybe park his Mini outside of the mission area?

Basic Alcoholic Beverage tip from me to you: If you want to try something different with Autumn/Winter/Vague Holiday flavors, use Laird's apple brandy in Coke instead of rum or whiskey or vodka.

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

The current Mustang is 5 inches longer than the Hyundai Elantra, a *sedan*. America totally washed.

As tis the season we had a (for me) first time watch double feature of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles then Uncle Buck and I feel like there's a 95% chance I'd prefer this to any other combination of John Hughes movies.

I do not respect the Star Trek Enterprise theme song because to me it stands as an example of how The Powers that Be were either embarrassed by (or greedily hoping they could rebrand) Star Trek by being ~different~. That's also why the show was just called "Enterprise" for the first 2 seasons.

Started #Fallout76 as a level 1 solo player for the first time since BEFORE the big NPC/story update and I'm frustrated that I am again having a good time in a game which is a very mixed bag *because* of that NPC update.

All of these timed dialog options in Telltale-like games but has anyone ever used one to call jinx on an NPC and rendered them unable to speak?

Not a lot of people bringing up moon pies in the latest dessert discourse.

Every video game loading screen should feature a silhouette of one of the characters running, even when it's not appropriate to the rest of the tone of the story.

When someone asks to what consistency I want the yoke of my eggs cooked.

Execute Order Sixty-Nine.

Is there any rapper, Scottish or otherwise, with the name Glock Ness Monster?

Wow, the Super Famicom, GameCube, Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3– in fact most consoles ALL have North American release anniversaries this month? What could possibly account for that?

Next Halloween I’m going as a perfect Basil Rathbone style Sherlock Holmes; deerstalker hat, pipe, tweed everywhere and then whip out this bad boy.

Michael Eddington has such a weird intro in DS9 because they never introduce him. The first time he appears he’s an a computer simulation, the next time he’s real and saying he’s Odo’s friend, the third time he’s saying Sisko’s promotion to captain was overdo and it’s like bitch, we don’t KNOW you!

Half-Life is one of my favorite games so I am taking this opportunity to say we should only mention anniversaries of products (if we need mention them at all) that are intervals of 5. Screw this “27th birthday!” nonsense.

Genuinely trying to not be a jerk about this but clearly the "is good" vs. "is bad" delineation with Call of Duty campaigns has to come from the physical playing of those games because I've watched playthroughs of like 10 of them and could barely tell you why one receives praise and another outrage.

I’m loathe to suggest another movie series do the legacy thing but an easy layup for introducing a new Bond despite that whole dying thing would be having Pierce Brosnan step into frame and say something like, “Mr. Bond? How is the new job treating you?” and not elaborating from there.

We really need another term so people can stop arguing about what an indie game. There is a difference between wholly publisher-owned (1st party) developers, independent developers who partner with a publisher, and self-publishing developers.

FROZEN hot chocolate? Listen to yourself. What’s next? Hot gazpacho soup?

Girls say, boys say Bay Baby, Bay Baby, squash!

Hate when a guy in a spooky mask approaches me in the inner city and when I say, “Hey buddy, Halloween was LAST month!” I am added to his trail of victims.

There should be a hero shooter with 1980s and 90s action movie grunge. You don't get a yassified super heroine you get a guy who looks like Al Leong in Die Hard.

"Environmental Storytelling," my dear Watson.

Going to start saying "leave the bottle" to different waitstaff and see how it plays out. Maybe I can get more cheese fluid at Taco Bell.

Deciding to go HARD as a nostalgia guy. I won't rest until they put CRT filters on movie screens.

This is sadder than that Hemingway story. 😢

They should do turkey tenders or turkey fingers at various fast food establishments this time of year.

I wish I knew a bit more about video game development so I’m throwing this out there; would a Battlefield game with more customizable uniforms and accessories potentially run worse/require more resources than the current preset skins system?

TTRPG hot take that I don’t fully believe but will say for comedy: If you’re playing in an extremely densely fleshed out game world, you are playing someone else’s story. If you’re playing with extremely densely fleshed out character classes/roles/types, you are playing someone else’s characters…

Anyway, some Metroid Other M fans are probably my going to try and use this as a victory and it’s imperative we don’t let them.

People seem to be confused by some of the additions to Metroid Prime 4 because they missed that it’s Metroid Prime 4, as in a sequel to Metroid Prime 3, and not Super Metroid 2 but a 3D FPS This Time.

No greater betrayal than the next video essayist release being about a game series you haven’t finished yet so you can’t watch it.

Papa Smurf Devouring His Son Francisco Goya (1821)

Gonna build my own theme park based on AAA video games. To go to different areas you need to shimmy through a thin crevice so you really feel like you’re passing through a hidden loading screen.

I'm not great at French but I think "mon cheri" is a reference a cherry-flavored Monster brand energy drink?

Curb Your: Air Riders

Going to be that guy and say it feels weird that gamers are happy the company with a monopoly in the PC game market is throwing its weight into disrupting the console market after its attempts in the handheld market.

Instead of skipping to Galaxy the second Super Mario movie should have been Sunshine and it should have been like a boring court procedural drama just to throw everyone off.

People are rightfully pointing out that James Bond would be in his 90s if there were actual continuity to the series, but it gets even sillier when you remember we see Daniel Craig be given the 007 status at the beginning of Casino Royale. So the series where he *dies* is actually a prequel.

Absolutely love this new terrible fucking shit that YouTube does where it will interrupt live broadcasts without pausing the feed so you have rewind every single time an ad pops up.
