That bit in the chair in 007 First Light is so good what the fuck

These options should really be: - Die Another Day - Difficulty - Live and Let Die

To the best of my recollection this is the first time I've seen these kinds of hand dryers in a videogame.

Lenny Kravitz really is a terrible actor but its nuts that he looks like that at 62

People keep comparing First Light to Uncharted but for that to be true James Bond would have to go "whoaAAOOH BOLLOCKS" after every jump

spending the entirety of First Light thinking about sniffing the back of his head

Saying "finally, a good James Bond game" to piss off everyone I care about and also myself

I do feel it was probably very intentional that the first real mission in 007 First Light is just Bond tailing Agent 47 around

I know Youtuber ad spots can be a bit hit and miss but they aren't bullshitting on those Manta sleep masks, they're really good.

I'll be honest up until about 30 seconds ago I thought the song was "she's a maniac - MANIAC - on the phone" and I didn't really get it.

I get the pushback on stomp clap hey, especially with how quickly it got corporatized for marketing, and Of Monsters and Men weren't _not_ part of that but I do think people being so jaded about it has meant that My Head is an Animal missed out on being remembered as a genuinely good album.

This is far from the weirdest thing about Two and a Half Men but it still baffles me that they thought the least distracting move to deal with their child star getting visibly older was to have him uneasily CGI morph into his older self in the last second and a half of the shows intro.

If Tony Blair was an actor instead of a disgraced politician people would be BEGGING him to play The Joker

watching calming train ride POV videos at 2x speed for the framerate and so it feels like I'm really getting a move on

Not sure that was particularly fair.

I know it's a bit hate for clicks but I do kind of love it when a youtube video has a thoughtful sounding title like "Was [Thing] Really That Bad?" and then the thumbnail just has big bold text like "YES"

The thing I think I respect most about 007 FIrst Light so far is its restraint? The first, like, 2-3 hours are basically just the game edging you with music stingers and brief glimmers classic Bond-esque stuff before you get a full fat 007 sequence and all that build up pays off huge at once.

actually i kinda *do* think using genAI should be such a social faux pas that the user is marked as a pariah and no longer feels welcome in the community. "AI is bad" is no longer an abstract (it never was), my city has been under a boil water advisory for a week because of AI data centers

The animation chat has me thinking one telling thing - in the years since AI arrived, there's not been a ground-up indie phenomenon, like we saw with earlier tech (Flash, etc). It hasn't unlocked anyone's creativity. For all the anti-gatekeeping rhetroic, nothing anyone cares about has been born.

pretty solid rhythm actually

Mirrors in games aren't usually this good.

This would make a great premise for a show

feeling uncharacteristically patriotic because I'm playing a good James Bond game in 2026 and they have the good plug sockets

he is so beautiful i am going to cry

Got over excited because I thought the Animation Director on 007 First Light was called Daniel Spies

I'll just say it: James Bond is hot

im listening to music i like and i had a vegetable heavy soup for lunch and the heat outside has died down just enough to tolerate so i have decided i am never going to be sad again

nothing makes me think a product is bleeding edge, effortlessly cool and part of the cultural zeitgeist like already wealthy influencers repeatedly being paid probably collectively billions of dollars to endorse it with the kind of dead eyed expression I save for rail replacement bus rides

I like that you can buy like one small box of toothpicks for almost nothing and then continue to have toothpicks for literally a decade or longer.

These saints are so jealous it's turning them into the SEA

*spraying two puffs of antiperspirant for the third day in a row before sweating out of every patch of skin on my body* sure hope this works

Really enjoyed going on the I've Had It Podcast to talk about the psychosexual panic known as the Make America Great Again movement, and talk about why you've just gotta make fun of these people. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1qr...

I had a driving lesson a few hours ago and it was my first experience of seeing how the heat makes people drive like fucking morons.

you've got to learn to just tank the heat

The state of employment in the games industry is now so dire that you have to be a time traveler, since UE6 isn't slated to come out for at least another year or two 🫠

J.R.R. Tolkien explaining his new book trilogy to me: and then one of these four hobbits will take the ring to mount doom and destroy it Me: is it going to be the one called Took who does that? J.R.R.: no

Spider-Man 2 let's you take injured pedestrians kind of anywhere

oh what so the radioactive spider just HAPPENS to bite the guy named spider man

deliveroo substituted my fresh mint for coriander. cheers lads no one will be able to tell the difference

Can we get to 2K reviews before game's first anniversary? 🐭 If you enjoyed the game, please leave a review it helps a lot (and we read everything single one of them because we're sickos!!)

unironically this is actually a lot like how learning Unreal kinda works

gud thread

I'm rewatching an early Nostalgia Critic video and, man, there's a chance that this was never good.

What's a phoenix's favourite religious holiday?

I played like 3 hours straight before bed yesterday then woke up and played an additional 4 hours. It's very very moreish, even in early access.
