    Mario RPGs (With bonus translation notes by NerfedFalcon below)

    I'll say it: It sucks how they remake Super Mario RPG and Paper Mario 2 but just ignore Paper Mario 64. Yeah, it's not quite as good as Thousand Years Door but completely ignoring it is still doing it a disservice.

    Exorcist 2: The Heretic Okay. Hear me out. The first Exorcist is a bona fide classic and the third one is at the very least considered a cult classic. The second one is widely considered to be one of the worst movies ever made. Now, I thought it was kind of great and I'd like to talk about why...

    The Escapist Countdown to Shutdown Thread: What’s Next?

    How do you have your entire staff walk out on you at once? And how the hell is The Escapist incapable of going for a handful of years without a case of egregious mismanagement? I thought things had been going fairly smoothly since the new site launched and now this is happening.

    GOTY (and PGOTY) Discussion

    We still have two months to go, but barring any big surprises: GOTY: Baldurs Gate 3. I don't care about DnD, I have no experience with classic CRPG's, whatever, this is a milestone and I'm not too proud to admit it. Games like Witcher 3 can make you feel like you're starring in some great...

    Alan Wake II

    Turning it on does really tank the performance. For not even looking very much better. I thought in a game with light as a mechanic it might be nice to have but it's not worth it.

    Alan Wake II

    I was fooling around, yes. It's a reference to the fact that both the default outfit and the office lady outfit you get in the late game of Control have pants that are form fitting in a way it's hard to unsee once you've noticed it.

    Alan Wake II

    After three hours I feel like story and atmosphere are expectedly pretty interesting, but, not to be a negative Nancy, I have a lot of issues with some design decisions. When you open the map it takes a few second for the textures to load which is annoying The whole mind place mechanic is...

    Rosemary's Baby (1968) In the spirit of the season I felt like catching up to some classic horror films. I saw this fairly shortly after the Exorcist, which is still pretty great, where Rosemary's Baby actually comes off as quite awkward in comparison. First things first, Rosemary's Baby...

    Lies of P demo impressions

    I played it up to the Romeo fight. It's a good game but I feel like I sort of hit my personal skill ceiling there. And I'm not ashamed to admit it. There's just a point when the time I need to get past an encounter isn't really proportional to the satisfaction I feel of doing so. What keeps me...

    Possession (1981) You know, whenever you decide to watch a cult classic, there's a 50/50 chance it's gonna be one of the most boring things you've ever seen, or something that'll absolutely blow your mind. Fortunately, Possession was the latter. Possession is an art house horror movie directed...

    Cyberpunk 2077 Review thread - Umm....

    It's kind of funny because the stereotypical Cyberpunk dystopia seems less bleak than both the conditions we can reasonably expect for our future as well as the conditions much of the world is already living in. I mean, I wouldn't exactly want to live in the world of Blade Runner or Cyberpunk...

    Barbie (2023) I feel like mainstream American comedy has just lost me, man. Between this and Everything Everywhere All at Once you have those productions that try their damnedest to embrace the absurdist, 00's style of humor but deflate it with some of the most inoffensive morals about family...

    Yes, I do think it's a worthy followup to Danza.
