Borderlands I guess the art department got it right, mostly. I'm not sure why you would cast any of these people in it though. Every Borderlands game has been about shooting everything while people harangue you over a walkie talkie. Troilus and Cressida it is not. But if anything that should...

Honestly the parkour was so weightless in the first episode that I don't think real life was much of a reference. Why even bother when the main character is flying around doing air combos. There's some Mirror's Edge action after the prison break with some nice heft to it but again, the dude has...

I read somewhere that really Watanabe wanted to make a farce like Space Dandy but the powers that be twisted his arm to make it more like Cowboy Bebop and (in my opinion) the result is Watanabe taking the piss out of his Bebop cred by making something that's pure posturing. Chad Stahelski is...

Bought my gf a lapis lazuli necklace. Apparently Chile is big in lapis mining, like second or third in the world, although they get uppity about Afghan lapis lazuli. Bought her a copper magnet for the collection. A clay piggy that has three legs from an old legend. I also bought a new...

(It's a relatively cheap, not-quite-2-hour flight from where I live) Crossing over to Chile is great for shopping too, since you can buy the same imported goods sold in Argentina but without the 60% tax charge.

Plane tickets to Chile!

Yes, airs on Adult Swim and a day later on Max. Japanese dub is being withheld 30 days after the series debut for some reason.

Shinichiro Watanabe (Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo) premiered his new show today, Lazarus. The characters roughly correspond to Bebop's main cast (Kung Fu badass, femme fatale, team dad, girl hacker) and the jazzy soundtrack definitely underlines all the glaring similarities but if anything the...

Fun with photo mode in Fenyx Rising.

Finished Immortals Fenyx Rising. I'm replaying TLoU2 and at the end of every session I feel like Gary Cooper at the end of High Noon just looking around the townsfolk with disgust, throwing my badge to the ground and fucking off forever.

What’s the one major thing missing from all Legend of Zelda games these days? Full penetration. We’re gonna show full penetration and we’re gonna show a lot of it! I mean, we’re talking, you know, graphic scenes of Link really going to town on Zelda. From behind, 69, anal, vaginal, cowgirl...

Over 50 hours into Immortals Fenyx Rising. Made it to King's Peak and quite out of nowhere the game suddenly wants to limit your climb-over-anything-ness by introducing cold pockets that drain your stamina, which effectively turn the island into a very rigid platforming gauntlet, or an extra big...

A Quiet Place: Day One It's a bit like Cloverfield but without the camcorder conceit: aliens attack NYC and the whole thing is skewed from the limited perspective of a couple of people urgently tiptoeing around the first few hours of the apocalypse. Meaning we don't get to see much or hear much...

Holland Set in Holland, Michigan, which looks like an answer to the actual country as much as to The Truman Show, the movie stars Nicole Kidman in the role of a neurotic Stepford Wife-esque woman who suspects her dull husband (Matthew McFadyen) may be having an affair; when she herself starts...
