Curious that SF6 characters aren't getting anymore World Tour content. I remember when I said it felt like this game had a story update on the way people kept telling me "No, the story is going to play out in World Tour." Well looks like that ain't happening, so wonder what the plan is now.

I can't lie, when I heard the news about SF6 no longer adding characters to WT this is immediately what my mind went to. "We put in all this work to flesh out the characters and it caused an international incident? Yeah we're done."

Haley looks weird with a mouth drawn on. I saw a woman wearing this today, while I was walking home from the DMV. I was like "wow so pretty! I should draw that outfit when I get home." I don't think I captured it. I forgot how nice it feels to scratch a drawing onto real paper with a real pen.

That one noise Palpatine makes during the Anakin/Obi/Dooku 2V1 still gets to me like what even was that supposed to be

"No I have to watch the other 78 first"

I KNEW WHAT MUST BE DONE

Dave Filoni have you ever heard of 0079 Mobile Suit Gundam

Bioshock really is The 7th Generation Video Game

Granted I had my own issues with Kojima even as a fan of his because YES it is normal to like someone's work and have issues with how they do things (His treatment of David Hayter, some of his writing flaws, and his Hollywood Actor fetish) but GOD DAMN MAN. AND NOT YOU TOO, JORGE

Kojima and Guitierrez being revealed to be hacks and betrayers on the same day was not on my Bingo Card, but FUCK IT. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.

Fuck the laser sword I'm just gonna punch you

You can say a creative doing something is lame as fuck and lowers your opinion of them without pretending you know them personally or know their own work better than them lmao come on man.

Entirely unsurprising that Kojima is working Reffen to promote that Prada AI thing dude has always been a sucker for stuff his idols hop on. But, it’s lead to many Bluesky moments™️ with people posting the usual “erm, mgs was never good, it was saved by localization” talking points.

You fucking fraud

If I resort to using GenAI ever in any of my products, I will actually do what Shinji Mikami said about what he'd do if RE4 got ported to anything that wasn't the GameCube but actually real.

they saw how yall treated sfex3 and said enough

"GEHT" has lived rent free in my head since childhood

Don’t get me started on “I’ve come to make an announcement” when the same unfunny kid keeps yelling it in my ear when I say “Yeah, I love SA2”.

Star Gladiator/Plasma Sword should've been even more of a success because we could've had a sequel with a bunch of Prequel-Era Star Wars Expies

IF YOU'VE WATCHED PHANTOM MENACE AND HAVE LIKE A CASUAL KNOWLEDGE OF STAR WARS WITHOUT GETTING TOO HEAVY INTO THE LORE AT THE TIME, THIS WAS A GUY WHO JUST POPPED UP, LOOKED COOL, HAD A BADASS WEAPON AND FIGHT, AND THEN DIED. IT'S JUST SO FUNNY THAT HE WOULD BE FLESHED OUT FROM ALL THAT

Oh the tie in merch and entire aisle of a walmart dedicated to toys that people thought would be valuable as the 70s toys

Darth Maul on a base concept is just hilarious because this guy who has a cool-ass design just pops up in his movie, has like two lines of dialogue, dies, but has a cult-following to the point that they just bring his ass back and flesh his character out

The Phantom Menace Hype Train back in the day sounds hilarious because imagine people literally buying tickets just to watch a trailer for a movie and then just walk-out not even sticking for the thing they bought the ticket for

God Gutierrez really is such a mark. "With AI my project got immediately greenlit!" Yeah why do you think that is dipshit. Your distinct and handcrafted style you've honed for decades is essentially being used in a VC ad campaign

I always forget WWF SmackDown! Just Bring It was released in November 2001 so by the time it sold enough copies to be re-released as part of the Greatest Hits line they had to change the cover because of the World Wide Fund For Nature lawsuit

The original trilogy has a lot of heart in the actors performances throughout. Its a known fact that George writes very weird dialogue but they all managed to make turn that into something that shaped a generation. Its all just so genuine

Alec Guinness hated working on Star Wars but the fact the scene in New Hope where he talks about Anakin and he's pretty much twisting the truth of what happened to the point that you can see him visibly have a combination of both PTSD and depression is actually genius acting on his end

Damn Fool Idealistic Crusade is actually a banger line oh my god

Damn, when your goat is washed

The body language in that scene is actually amazing too because you get everything from the vacant stares to the distance and not really making eye-contact to the kinda twitchy movements and even just going "Hey, here's your father's weapon. It was part of a civil age. Before..." and he slips again

What also kinda makes it realistic is that Alec HIMSELF was a war veteran as a crewman for landing craft in WW2, so he actually draws part of that experience into Kenobi for that scene of talking about ghosts that used to be friends of his too

Like he was probably fed a summary by Lucas for a script and he just had to essentially portray that "Yeah my character knows some terrible shit and I don't want to go there, but right now I have to kind of twist the reality of things just to keep his son at odds."

This is the same dude who was the Chairman from RoboCop and the villain from Re-Animator hell yeah I think Character Actors are rad

Yeah buddy

At least we have Guillermo Del Toro as the next big Mexican creative guy who actually hates the shit out of AI to look up to now--

¡VETE A LA MIERDA!

A few of the songs (mostly the opening) sound like they're going for that 60s Ultra Q/Early Tokusatsu Show feel with the orchestral and I'll pretty much give them that
