    Officially it's also a sequel to WandaVision and Secret Invasion. Off the record, fuck no. Didn't watch any of the shows. The movie knows this so everybody gets a rather inelegant recap at the beginning. After that it's just another dumb superheroes in space movie.

    Amarcord Simply the best movie about nostalgia ever made. Fellini looks back at his childhood (kinda) with glee and sadness and nothing but affection for every character and detail. Part slice of life, part coming of age, the movie is very loosely structured as a series of vignettes in which a...

    They fired the Escapist's editor, and the video team, Yahtzee resigns

    I still think the not-ZP redesign isn't very good compared (perhaps obviously) to the choices Yahtzee originally made for ZP. There's a reason why he went with blue and yellow instead of red and black; why the blank background instead of contaminating it with moving bits and bobs; why an imp...

    Not really, I meant Yahtzee's Zero Punctuation. Though I doubt they would have the nerve to have someone else do ZP. They had to disable comments for this last batch of videos because of the negativity, apparently.

    The Escapist has released what will be the very last Zero Punctuation ever (along with the last videos of other defunct series).

    That's a wrap on Blasphemous II. A generally very good sequel that is simultaneously improved by refurbished gameplay but also rendered underwhelming by it. The overall "gameyness" of the level design and overall instantly recognizable metroidvania structure removes some of the mystery and sands...
