We did The Lobster for a Patreon episode and now I want seafood.

You make a good point

South of Midnight is a very special sort of game that you should check out. Feels like a cool fusion of Sinners and Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Yeah, I can’t remember seeing a fandom vanish like the one for The Arrowverse. Rarely see the actors doing the convention rounds anymore, never hear people talking about it. And I remember when there was a big push for Grant Gustin to reprise his role in Justice League instead of Ezra Miller

So this ensures that I not only don’t buy the next gen Xbox (which I was planning to do since I got a PS5 Pro and won’t be getting a 6 anytime soon after launch), but also that I stop using my current Xbox.

Guess I’m buying Fable on PlayStation.

Sometimes I’ll think about The Arrowverse. How it started out not wanting to be very β€œcomic booky” and ended up as some of the best, most comic-accurate live action adaptations ever. And how it was kind of a juggernaut.

And then it ended and NO ONE talks about it anymore.

Westen put Drifter on my radar and it’s on my wishlist. I don’t think I can handle and Roger

Easily my number one game I want Nintendo to revisit. Either put it on the NSO
service, remake/remaster it, or put a sequel out. Such an amazing game that doesn’t deserve to be lost

Remember when people used to be all β€œhard times creates great art” because no actually it’s just this.

I dunno, man. Sometimes it doesn’t feel worth it to keep going.

Does this one explain what Leon is doing post 4? I feel like I didn’t understand who he was working for in Requiem

Episode 091: I Can Probably Beat 20 Guys Quickly and easily listen to The Stage Select for free!

This week, Resident Evil Village, WWE 2K26, Fuck My Son!, RRR, the return of Will We Cringe, and there’s absolutely nothing strange about Kara, our AI assistant:

A big reason why The Stage Select only has fake ads for things like Save the Billionaires and The Scream Shack. It’s my way of venting my frustrations in a (hopefully) entertaining way. We’ll never have actual ads, no matter what

I mostly agree here. Requiem is probably a solid 7.5 if I’m writing a review, mostly for mechanical reasons that Westen didn’t seem to mind

I mostly agree for different reasons. I’d prefer the whole game to be in Grace’s shoes because she’s more interesting mechanically and as a character (I don’t care about Leon). But the RC part felt like Evil Within 2 and I hope RE 10 takes this and runs with it. Game feels way too sluggish to me

I keep seeing people posting about One Piece LA, and I know it stands for Live Action but I keep thinking it’s a spinoff series set in Los Angeles, to be followed by One Piece NYC, One Piece Miami, and One Piece Special Victims Unit.

Doing great so far this year! Should be able to finish Relooted this week, and I’m slowly going through Kingdom of Night on my Steamdeck. Next big game I’m waiting for is Pragmata, unless Crimson Desert reviews well enough

Finished Requiem. It’s…good. I think it’s easily my least favorite of the RE Engine games. Some of the worst gameplay sequences I’ve seen in the series in the final hours, and a wet fart of an ending left a bad taste in my mouth. Game is 1000% more interesting when playing as Grace

I am shocked to learn this is actually underestimating costs, because it ignores the infrastructure costs.

This video is lowballing it.

Played it for the first time in the last week and I think it’s now one of my favorites. Got some amazing moments that made both Ethan games click into place and the gameplay loop didn’t wear out its welcome like some of the other RE Engine era games

I’m an overweight middle-aged man and I could beat Grace in a footrace.

Sigh.

I hate it when games that get universal praise don’t click with me. Makes me feel like I’m losing my mind.

Last repost: I’m continually stunned at people with money in the games industry not wanting to spend money to make games but somehow still expecting to make money on games.

Can’t sell something that doesn’t exist, guys.

Capcom’s on a roll. People are excited for Alex in SF 6. Kenny Omega did mocap for them.

The time is now.
