I think that two of the best superhero performances of the last 5 years have been on television. Aaron Pierre as John Stewart & Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Simon Williams. Just knockout performances.

Nobody does open world like Rockstar, and I’m so excited to just get lost in that world.

I’ve already come to terms with them maintaining control because America seems fairly cool with cutting healthcare, military death squads, unnecessary wars, and economic ruin.

Holy shit, someone just posted these on FB and I had a MOMENT. I used to play with these as a kid but really had no idea what they were. Apparently they were called Diener Space Raiders. What a f’ing trip to see them out of the blue for the first time in like… 40+ years.

Tony was really fantastic. And Banderas in particular was amazing.

Was looking at the Silent Hill Townfall concept art and my jaw dropped. Was back in my hometown tonight so I had to go and take a photo. There are many ways to mock my beloved Coatbridge, but “your home’s so miserable it was used as concept art for a Silent Hill game” is a new one for me

I find conversations around certain game brands very interesting. PS5 has outsold the XSX/S by roughly 3:1 and by all accounts this Xbox gen is considered a failure. The Switch 2 has outsold the Steamdeck by about 6:1 but the conversation is very different. Just interesting to think about.

I guess one way in which I differ from the Republican nominee for US Senator from Minnesota is that I love Minnesota and enjoy living here. Something I like about @peggyflanagan.bsky.social is that she likes the place she is running to represent. Seems like it may help someone in that job.

It’s become a tradition on the podcast to do a special Halloween episode where I travel to some creepy haunted location, and I’m super excited for this year’s episode! It’s spooky season!!! 🎃👻

Crazy that tomorrow is the 200th episode of Midlife SideQuest. So super grateful to everyone who has listened to this old tired nerd blab into a microphone over the past 13 years.

Dear @konamina.bsky.social Your multiplatform strategy is very stupid. The last 4 Silent Hill games have been: a console exclusive, a timed exclusive, multiplatform release, console exclusive (maybe timed?) Just pick a lane and stick to it please.

I just read an article naming Easter eggs from the new Resident Evil movie and one of the examples they gave is that… he uses a flashlight in the movie.

Whether I get the game as a review code or buy it on launch day, I never rush to finish it. Would you rather have a quick opinion? Or one that’s for a game played naturally and well thought out?
