I have been playing retail WoW again. Oh dear. Still manages to slide its claws back in even all these years later. Still, it’s slick and fun. Not sure about the millions of elves that are in the game now but what you gonna do.
I think part of it is the mythological China setting. I know we’ve had lots of renditions of Journey to the West. But this is probably the most high fidelity and edgy version. Looks nice too, which helps. I’m hoping the sequel builds a better game. As I do think they have potential.
If this game isn’t one big scam, it’s still going to have the most predatory monetisation scheme going on.
Suns out and that new Carpenter Brut album matches it perfectly. Mood elevated immediately.
Would have preferred if you’d just given me a Daredevil mission or something.
Like why are you putting stealth sections in the game other than trivial “variety” excuses. Piss.
The stealth MJ missions in Spider-Man 2 aren’t as bad as the first game but they’re pretty terrible. I think if you want stealth bits in your games you should be forced to spend time playing Tenchu, Metal Gear, Splinter Cell and Thief. Because this is shite.
Hey so we just announced SPRAWL zero, a new FPS that we've been working really hard on.
Inspired by classics like Bungie's Halo and Marathon, as well as Half Life 2 and anime from the era, this is our love letter to the golden years of FPS. Wishlists would rule <3

This bit in the From Russia With Love game made me laugh out loud. You've got a fairly grounded, low key fight based on the one in the movie, then the most video game looking fucker of all time slides into frame.
I still havnt bought the remasters of SR but I will get around to it at some point. It really does seem like they’re taking rebuilding the setting seriously.
@andihamilton.com you see there’s rumours some playable version Dark Prophecy might be included in that upcoming Defiance remake?
Quite likely it was warbrides situation. Much like documented in this book:
Here’s to your next adventure! Always enjoy your work.
No more film and tv adaptations. We’ve got to quarantine the pestilence out of the medium.
That God of War screenshot has just re-armoured my thought that we should gatekeep video games again.
lol.
I’m convinced he wasn’t that involved creatively and just funded it. I suspect Warren Ellis and the two brother directors (I think they’re brothers) did most of the heavy lifting.
You know the ones who’ve never had to pot wash or deliver pizzas, or work any shite job that demeans your soul for pittance.
You move around in enough academic, laptop caste and upper-middle class adjacent circles and you learn they just wear the skin suit of “workers rights” and “classism” as talking points they actually despise people from working class backgrounds.
They hate us and think we’re stupid.
Sometimes it do be like that. We are but pigs at the trough.
You can’t go wrong really her Arthas book was great too!
Christie Golden was like the best novelist they had. When I was deep in WoW I would wait for her new novels with excitement. But it’s true most of the plot moves forward in patch cutscenes or novels, sometimes end game raids.
Remember like five years ago a bunch of you shithouses were going on and on about Poutine like it was some delicate cuisine. Then when I finally looked it up it’s fuckin’ Cheesy Chips with Gravy. Foodie people arnt allowed to talk anymore.
just beat the Hell's Kitchen Video Game for the nintendo DS where 100% of the gameplay takes place on the touch screen and the top screen is just a Gordon Ramsay vtuber with an anger meter that you have to keep down or he will hit his ult and shut down the kitchen
BREAKING: PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games, the studio responsible for modern remakes of classic games such as Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus, Bloomberg News has learned.
A shocking end for a well-respected studio.
I don’t understand the introduction of web wings into Spider-Man 2 . It just invites even more comparison to the Arkham series, takes away from the fun traversal of the web slinging.
I still think a lot about the fact that the Mafia were influenced by popular fiction about them. Just riffing on books and film and acting it out.
Had a flashback to that odd era of tumblr where people just Reblogged that Basement album cover and the Disney Princesess/Princes with stretched ears and traditional tattoos. Weird time tbh.
Someone must know why all plastic for monitors/computer chasis/general electronics shifted from grey/cream to black. Did it just become cheaper to make black plastic rather than it covering up the yellowing effect that used to happen to plastic that aged?
Basically come to the realisation the Blu-ray copy of Sword of the Stranger I owned has vanished into the ether.
