It was pretty good! The dialogue was just kinda okay but that boy could squeak good when he screams so it was pretty funny. Wonderfully directed and shot though, really enjoyed the look and feel the whole way thru

Ace Combat 8 is pretty darn good so far even just 3 missions in. The new flight model takes a little getting used to but it didn't take too long to feel like an ace again B)

Found a mysterious and ancient dagger in a hidden temple. The more I look at it the more I notice beautiful and impossible intricacies that line its edge. In the night I wake with a start, sweating and scared for seemingly no reason. I look at the dagger on my desk and whisper: "Good job, Junie."

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

For what it's worth I also prefer the combat in the first as well. I'm a decent bit into Resonant and I feel like the combat is missing a couple things here and there to make it really click. I think it's mostly that the enemies don't really force you to fight differently all that much.

The kid puts up with years of dysfunction from a shitty parent, and then, one day, finally understands they would never change/would never care. So, they cut their losses and save themselves. But "she cut contact over a haircut" makes the kid sound crazy, so that becomes the parent's story.

I find it fascinating that so many estranged parents view the estrangement as an incident, not as a process. So it's forums full of Boomers going "She stopped talking to me because I said her haircut was bad! She's so UNREASONABLE!", when, in reality, they've been shitting on their kid for decades.

in a week that saw microsoft give activision the reins to halo and bungie pivot back to destiny, one thing has become abundantly clear: the people in charge do not have a long-term, overriding plan. they’re just reacting. the result, when times are bad, is chaos

"Things are still very chaotic," a current id Software employee who was granted anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly told Aftermath. "While there has been an attempt to communicate to the studios, it is still entirely in bullshit corporate speak. I still don't believe they have a clear vision for the future. The only concrete thing they have communicated is they want higher profits, and they want it now. Aggressive goals are being set that would have been unrealistic even before the layoffs. ... To say the workers within Xbox have a dim view of the future is putting it mildly. We keep thinking morale can't sink lower but the obvious incompetence of Xbox management somehow keeps driving it down worse."
This mirrors shifts in strategy that have come to dominate the still-new Sharma era, including others outlined Tuesday. Rare is joining Activision, Turn 10 and Playground are fusing, and—most gallingly, considering their history—Obsidian is being folded into Bethesda to work on Fallout instead of its own original series. As with the previous round of layoffs, details betray Microsoft's haphazard approach: A Halo developer got promoted and laid off in the same week. Gears of War: E-Day's story director is out of a job days after celebrating that the game had gone gold. Hellblade developer Ninja Theory, now without a buyer after a brief glimmer of hope, is once again on the chopping block.
All of this betrays a simplistic mindset that does not accurately reflect the reality of game development: People are disposable, studios are interchangeable, and series can be traded like sports teams. Nothing matters more than franchises and their money-printing prowess. Unless, evidently, you are Hideo Kojima, in which case Microsoft suddenly has money to burn.

Not long after I got laid off from CD after Perfect Dark was cancelled, I met up with an old friend and some other game devs for a nice homecooked meal. Every single one of us had a "fucked over by Microsoft" story.
