I don't give Kinda Funny a lot of flowers (in fact I rarely listen to them) but Blessing sharing his hot take that price point shouldn't be a part of game reviews let's me know there's at least one sane person in that group.

If you don’t read old stuff you’ll never discover that people in the olden days had the same thoughts and feelings and dreams and anxieties you do, sometimes articulated differently, sometimes exactly the same way. You are never truly alone in anything and old writings are a neon sign telling you so

Just realized that Robert Duvall's death happened almost one year after Gene Hackman's. Two marvelous actors who nowadays would be relegated to supporting roles but in the 70s were put on the same pedestal as pretty boys De Niro and Pacino.

I know this meme gets used to mock Western AAA Cinematic games but the game this reminds the most of is Persona 5.

Listen I'm sure that Tubi will go down the shitter in like 10 years when some jackoff buys it, but until then I will enjoy its service voraciously. With ad blocker of course.

Rogue Legacy has done untold damage to game design. So I'm glad the second game failed.

Wait, they're putting Ghost Babel on Master Collection 2! Don't make me buy that stupid collection just for one GBA game Konami.

A roundabout way to say that Perfect Art is also (very) rarely great art.

The best thing about that DQ7 remake is that it will likely lower the price of a PS1 copy of the original. See guys, remakes can be good and necessary.

The Jet Set Radio tutorial.

bruce nesmith shut your mouth but agree they shouldn’t remake it, people shouldn’t need remakes to play something. “the test of time” is for YOU to not fail, dipshit

Getting the itch to start another JRPG. Come on Nintendo, announce that 60 Fps patch for Xeno X and I'll buy a Switch 2 this instant.

From the weird line delivery to the aliens, is Tomadachi Life just a Twin Peaks simulator?

Oh look, the best tv show, let alone anime, of all time is on Youtube so no one has any excuse.

As a proud hater of TV, let it be known that one of the best things about the start of a new year is the start of a new season of the absolutely hilarious British game show WILTY (Would I Lie To You). And huzzah, it's only 30 minutes long. None of that hour long episode garbage.

I say this as not the biggest Carpenter fan, but he's absolutely right, Fuck the haters. ESCAPE FROM L.A. is much better than NEW YORK and is top 3 Carpenter along with THEY LIVE and STARMAN.

TIL that gonads is the gland that helps in the development of your sex organ and not just a funny word for ballz that stuck around. Also that it's present in women's body. So yes, women have gonads.

Alright, I'm just gonna get this out of my system; Stop reposting that video of the Minnesota woman getting killed. I don't fucking need to see it and neither does anyone else. We got the details of her killing and that should be enough, anything is borderline pornographic.

Hot Take of the Century; Berserk 97, to the point that I've next to no interest in reading the manga. The story is done and no amount of extra lore/world building would compell me to keep going. (Sniff, Judeau my beloved).

Rewatched L'Eclisse after God knows how many years and yeah, everything I said still stands.

For once, he's right.

Finally someone who gets it. IF YOUR METROIDVANIA BRINGS ME TO WHERE IM SUPPOSED TO USE THE POWER UP, THEN IT'S NOT A METROIDVANIA. THE MOMENTS OF DOUBT IN-BETWEEN ARE THE FUCKING POINT OF IT ALL.

In 1989, French newspaper Libération asked 700+ filmmakers from around to answer just one question: "Why do you film?", the answers they received varied from several pages long to just a few words, here's some of them.

Predict my ass, everything "foretold" in MGS2 was already present in older cyberpunk media. And some of them aren't even that obscure (Serial Experiements Lain, Neuromancer). Stop stroking this hack's ego, especially when it concerns a bad game he made 20+ years ago.

"The suffering of generations must be endured to achieve our divine end." Really not fighting back against the Zionist accusations huh Neil.

CD Projeckt in 2020: Damn, we ruined all our goodwill in a matter of days. Well, at least everyone will learn from our mistakes. Larian: Learn??????

Here's a preview for next year's TGA; Geoff: Game of the Year goes to....Control 2. Congratulations to Remedy, thank you very much for saving the hack-and-slash genre from those disgusting j**s.

Alright, time to watch a 3 hour film and then see the announcements. Hopefully something on the level of Okami 2 happens again but I doubt it.

People attacking Prime 4 by comparing it to Prime 3 makes me want to give it an earnest shot. Because fuck the haters, Corruption is great. Dare I say, it's better than Echoes.

"Oh my God, Netflix is gonna bump up the price" Lol, imagine paying for Netflix. But also, if they do, then I predict the following;

If you had told me at the beginning of the year that a Kirby Air Rider game is going to compel me to get a Switch 2 more than fucking Metroid Prime 4, I would have pissed in your direction. But here we are.

Someone put forth the idea that Prime 4 will have friendly fire and you could maybe kill the marines and now I desperately hope that's the reality we're living in.

You're right Quentin, Ringo Lam should sue your ass.

My Neighbor Totoro El Sur Do The Right Thing His Motorbike, Her Island

Something I just learned recently is that this is also Michel Gondry's favorite film (The director of ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND). In fact, he illustrated this beautiful poster for it when it had its 1990 re-release in France. His name is signed on the left next to the anchor.

Y'all know what you've gotta do. (This is Canadian price, so don't give me that "still too expensive" crap)

My Hero. (Just ignore the "trying to get laid with students part")

Anything Rob Zombie has made, especially THE DEVIL'S REJECTS. Shit is demented but I kinda love it. Also James Cameron's TRUE LIES is unapologetically racist and sexist. It's also batshit, so I like it.

I’ve had long convos with critic friends of all stripes about how ashamed other male filmmakers should be that almost objectively one of the most empathetic and sensitive male directors on the subject of the physical, emotional, and sexual abuse of women is *Roman Polanski*

If I was a Kojima fan, I'd say this was breaking expectations and is actually a metanarrative commentary on player's expectation from a Metroid game. But because I have functioning braincells, I'll call it what it is; Dogshit. (Yes, dumping on Kojima is how I cope)

I don't trust anyone who doesn't admit having at some time in his life enjoyed trashy American movies; I don't trust any of the tastes of people who were born with such good taste that they didn't need to find their way through trash. (1969)

I'm getting Other M 2 vibes from Prime 4 right now.

This year, I dipped my toe into Tokusatsu. Loved so much esthetically but couldn't stand the repetitive format. Then I got more into Wuxia films and discovered everything I loved in Tokusatsu but now without the padding. Moral of the story; once again (and forever after), Cinema >>>>>>>>>>>>>> TV.

Enemy infighting.

Two things; A: God Pauline, why couldn't you have been alive right this instant? B: The Godard hater in me can't help but notice that this statement procedes his 60s period which is very much symptomatic of this issue.
