Ya the first game is very light on story and is just kind of broadly anti-war, anti-authoritarian, and environmentalist, all very common themes, especially in the mid-2000s. Sure the violence is indulgent but that’s just because it’s fun to chainsaw monsters in half.

"'It's admirable that, after so long, the ambitions behind Dragon's Dogma, which couldn't properly be attained in 2012, haven't been compromised,' I wrote in 2024. Part of me feels like those ambitions have been compromised in Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen." My review of the new expansion:

This money is absolutely meaningless to Elon Musk, but it has the potential to completely rewrite your future. He's spent over $36 million in about 4 weeks, and he's adding millions a day. All to corrupt our government to push his agenda. Let your friends know what's up.

How dare any of you quibble about the film for which Tom Cruise had to repeatedly “Digger up” and “Digger down.”
IMDb Trivia: Tom Cruise overheated in the prosthetics during long takes, so cooling machines were brought to the set. The crew called suiting him up before a take "Digger up" and cooling him down between takes "Digger down."

Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager

For @gamespot.com, I explored the Ocarina of Time remake's take on Sheik and how early impressions have left me fearful that his androgyny is being left behind. He's a character with nuanced queer history I hope Nintendo is at least slightly in tune with. www.gamespot.com/articles/the...

The fact that every major news outlet includes vocal tics and hesitations when it’s a woman saying “like” and not when it’s a man saying “um” is itself wicked telling.

In retrospect, Obsidian getting Pentiment out there into the world before Microsoft exploded really feels like they pulled off the weirdest heist in gaming history.

not the most important thing at all right now, but like, what was Xbox even doing with Halo for the last five years other than making yet another remake of the original? is there really no new project substantial enough that a brand-new team can just take over all of a sudden?

a catch is when a possession consists of at least one football move, unless there is first intent that can clearly be observed. the if the intent is observed concurrently with the possession, the ball carrier must first establish zone in space. zone in space is an acquiescence of one's football self

Good for a video game movie but it still has a lot of style and great character acting. It’s a very clever interpretation of Resident Evil games as an A to B plot but it won’t blow you away

Very funny playing the Resonance demo as someone who’s only played a few Final Fantasy games. These legacy characters show up and I only vaguely know who they are. Feels like I should clap respectfully at their flashy cutscenes.

Just a very strange mindset. I loved Resonant but can easily see how someone would not like it. People having different tastes should be a pretty simple concept

One major gameplay sequence near the end of the game is so unexpected and so incredibly well done that it simply feels like Remedy is showing off. There's an inherent allure to a game revolving around phenomena that are often incomprehensible to the human mind, and after you've already been bamboozled and awed in dozens of different ways, both large and small, Remedy continues with stylistic flourishes from way out of left field.

“Like the first game, the highs more than make up for the lows. Combat is varied but not exceptionally deep, and its open-zone design regularly feels overly familiar[…], but the overall experience is so finely woven that the sheer artistry is undeniable.”
