Aw, that's a bummer. I was kinda looking forward to it.

The Pathologic series. I dunno, I started Pathologic 2 and I picked medium difficulty, as I usually do when I start a game I haven't played before. Then the game tried to guilt trip me by telling me that you aren't meant to play it on anything but the hardest difficulty for the intended...

Meanwhile in Germany our Musk endorsed party of Trump clones has only gone up in popularity, proving that we have got to be some of the dumbest people on earth.

I like EXistenZ fine and I like Naked Lunch fine and probably enjoyed Crimes of the Future more than most people but honestly, I don't think Cronenberg ever made anything remotely as good as Videodrome again. Not that that's something to be ashamed of, Videodrome is a hell of a movie.

A recently released Japanese style RPG made in France that came out last week after only being announced in January. A game that caught my attention for two reasons: First, the rather overt twofold reference to Freemasonry in its title, second the surprisingly impressive production values for...

Andor (Season 1) There has been a high number of recent Star Wars streaming series to the point that I imagine, regardless of their average quality, it would be all but impossible even for the biggest Star Wars fans to keep up with them without getting burnt out. I haven't bothered with most of...

The second movie has better action but I'm very fond of how this one plays out like a cyberpunk slasher movie. It just has a certain grit to it, the second one's more of a typical action romp. Although I do prefer Schwarzenegger as a hero than as a villain. I dunno, for how huge he is he still...

The first Bethesda game I've ever played and the one that made me realize that I don't really enjoy Bethesda games which every subsequent I've tried out confirmed for me. People keep telling me that Morrowind was their masterpiece but I couldn't get into it. I'm willing to concede that that's...

The Ten Commandments (1956) Cecil B. DeMille's 50's epic retelling, with some significant liberties, of the biblical story of Moses and the Hebrew Exodus from Egypt. After watching Ben Hur last year on Easter I decided to watch Ten Commandments this year, both fixtures in the television...

Enjoyed the first season a lot as a cop show in a future that is not quite dystopian, not quite utopian but good and bad in mostly the same way the real world is, just with more advanced technology. The second season I felt kinda disappeared up its own ass, politically.

Suppose this thread is as good as any to talk about it: Someone hacked 4chan and took it down. It's been inaccessible for more than a day at this point. https://www.avclub.com/4chan-hacked-chicken-jockey Now, as a paranoid person I have my own thoughts about it but taken at face value: It...

It was honestly my impression that the more it tried to have a plot, the less interesting it got. All the stuff about the characters just travelling and learning about themselves and each other was good. Great, even. Whenever it got into more conventional fantasy adventure stuff like that town...

I believe you shouldn't try to fix what isn't broken so I'd go with the same basic gameplay of Breath if the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom but I'd reintroduce some conventions of the older 3D Zelda games for sort of a best of both worlds approach. There would be longer, more involved dungeons...

Oh, very good, I want you to confirm something for me: Does written German look as silly to the Dutch as written dutch looks to German? Because, let's me be honest, Dutch, to me, looks like German written by Spurdo Spärde.

The UK had a weird moral panic about ninjas in the 80's and 90's (I'm pretty sure it was a racist dog whistle) and the current government seems to think it's wortwhile appealing to people's nostalgia for it.
