    Arnold doc. part 3. Solid. Last part was the most revealing of course; the governorship struggles, family, diving deeper into his personal failures alongside the successes. Crazy to see how this larger than life figure that you idolized as a young kid 30+ years back has aged so much (which...

    Mortal Kombat 1: Finish Him!

    I’m noticing little details like the characters’ feet interacting with blood on the floor. Meanwhile Max is noticing all the frame data, attack patterns, jump arcs, etc. lol.

    Lies of P demo impressions

    Sounds like most of the complaints are about shit they should just take out, like weapon durability and repairing. Parrying sounds even worse than in Souls in terms of timing requirements and effectiveness. The funny thing I found is, once you get used to it the parrying in Sekiro is more...

    I didn’t realize there would be one last hurrah with Cavil. He’ll be missed.

    If you don’t have one check out getting a cat condo or at least something like this, claw clippers and a catnip toy. Also might be worth looking at a sifting litter box designed for cedar pellets as an alternative to tracking the grainy shit around the house. It took our adult cat a while to...

    Mortal Kombat 1: Finish Him!

    I like that they’re bringing back more juggles. It seems like a blend of the last two pace-wise. A bit disappointed it still looks relatively similar artistically but maybe thats because I was also kinda hoping for more of an overhaul in terms of visual style and combat mechanics vs further...

    General Gaming News.

    You know, if there was enough talent and vision behind it this actually sounds pretty cool. I didn’t watch the trailer but like, maybe give the forest creatures personalities found in so many Disney flicks but with a dose of sarcastic wit. It could even be given dark comedy angle. Make it...

    Arnold Netflix Documentary First episode was insightful. I’ve known about a lot of the bodybuilding stuff from college days, but there was more here that delves into his motivation. The beautiful but poor village. The simple but brutal home life. It’s a pretty mesmerizing look into how one...

    He’s always been a pain, but the toughest might just be MK2. I remember in the arcade putting like $5 into the machine and finally beating him the first time with standing HK’s with Jax whenever he dashed. But then MK3 added Run and ground combos, so it was actually fairly easy to reset and...

    For reference- https://80.lv/articles/phil-spencer-says-xbox-can-t-surpass-sony-and-nintendo-in-console-market/# Although he said the problem was multifaceted, he chalked up most of it to “losing” last gen, which was a critical moment as that’s when people were building their digital libraries.

    It’s the first honest thing they’ve said though, so I’ll give them that.

    Diablo IV - Beta Impressions

    I really enjoyed D3 but played it a while after release when everything was tweaked for the better. I’d bought the CE which I still have (it’s just that badass looking). Will probably just get D4 on a Steam sale someday though. I’m sure it will be as fun but I have quite a bit less time to...
