    I think the collapse of Ubisoft, beyond just being hilariously karmic at this stage, also presents a nice and reasonably contained representation of the potential fallout of the failure of a company who's product requires remote authorisation to work. Are they legally compelled to keep them...

    Your video game hot take(s) thread

    Cyberpunk 2077 is a single player RPG that requires a big time sink. One does not simply sit down for an hour or two for a quick fix with this game. Call of Duty - I suspect - sees most of its concurrent player numbers because it has its famed multiplayer.

    Funny events in anti-woke world

    Once again, this guy was driving them around. Yes, he gets hoovered up with the actual subject of the warrant. That is standard practice in basically every law enforcement branch on planet earth. He didn't wander between the agents and these poor sods while eating a doughnut and looking...

    Aren’t they DualSense controllers for the PS5?

    Allow me to hold both of your heads under the waters of knowledge for a moment. A citizen may be detained by ICE if they have committed an offence relating to the crossing of borders such as entering on false passports. Also, when serving a warrant or raid, law enforcement tend to hoover up...

    SPiT - 10/10 Yes the title is written like that. The movie is a 20 year sequel to Australian film Gettin’ Square but focuses on that film’s side character Johnny Spit, played to dopey but kind-hearted perfection by David Wenham, slipping back into Johnny’s weathered thongs as if he never...

    So what I’m reading here is that Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson have abjectly failed to ensure the continuation of their custodianship of the brand. Like sure you can be pissed that Amazon are gonna hook it up to the milking machine but if Broccoli and Wilson had elevated and trained a...

    Movie, TV, Web Series, and Music Hot Take(s).

    My probably lukewarm take is, of the two adaptations I’ve seen of Murder on the Orient Express - David Suchet’s and Kenneth Branagh’s - I have to say I much prefer Branagh’s. I know, it’s practically heresy especially since Suchet is the definitive Poirot - an assessment I agree with - but the...

    Sadly I don't think that's likely. The 50 series are a fucking wash so the 40 series and at least the 3090, maybe the 3080Ti, are retaining value. Anyone with anything from the 4070 up has no reason to upgrade at all, anyone with a 3090 is probably only going to want the 5090 but those are...

    Wait a second. One of them is Megan Fox, and based off @Thaluikhain the other one is maybe Billie Ellish. And the position here is that they're secretly men........

    What have you learned today?

    The thing about scientific research is that its expensive as hell. So, unless they found some kind of obscenely rich patron who has all the maturity of a nine year old, there is probably a lot of fringe benefits to the genetics work they're doing. But those are probably boring and make for a...

    Is the irony layered since he was also The Comedian in Watchmen?

    Well Groundhog Day uses it as the central conceit and it kind of speed runs the emotional impact because it is at heart a comedy and a movie. The comparison was not meant as disparagement; because I cannot deny the dramatic opportunity that doing Groundhog Day in 10-12 hours instead of 2 is...
