I'll receive my copy tomorrow and hopefully I can play it some over the weekend. I'm not worried about the negative reviews, I don't really have expectations, I just want to play some new Metroid. If it ends up pretty mediocre, then hopefully that tells Nintendo they should instead focus on the...

Yes, you create a Timerunner character, who then goes through an accelerated version of the expansion (Legion in this case), where raid lockouts and world bosses are daily instead of weekly, accelerated XP gain rate and bonuses to make it even faster (by the end I had 400% XP bonus + 250% XP...

Speaking of Matrix and moves, we recently watched the first 3 John Wick movies with my 15 year old and it's funny to see Keanu Reeves using a bunch of fighting moves from Matrix in John Wick, I know it's because he's doing actual martial arts but it's just very recognizable on some moves.

We could also have had Sean Connery as Morpheus. I imagine in some other reality they have that version of the Matrix with Will Smith Neo and "Morpheush", probably directed by two girls that then became dudes.

Another random factoid but about Super Metroid... the Spore Spawn boss theme always reminded me of something when I was watching let's plays or speedruns, and I eventually remembered it was a music from Resident Evil 1 ("Wesker is Found" in the RE1 OST). They're so close it's hard not to think...

I would argue Samus Returns (Game Boy Metroid 2 remake on 3DS) and Dread were pretty damn good, but I think this series should return to its 2D roots with 3D graphics. Prime has always been full 3D exploration though so I suppose that won't change.

William Fichtner.

That's a good analysis of the Terminator Salvation situation, yeah. I also think the ending they had originally planned would have made it more memorable, but they chickened out after some early audience reactions. In the released version, John Connor receives a mortal wound near his heart and...

Yeah but were those shooters wearing Ghostface masks though?

At least if this ends up being a huge pile of shit, you know Mozart would have loved it.

In the book, Frankenstein is disgusted and horrified by his own creation pretty much immediately, and flees far from it, leading to the creature wandering in the wild and slowly learning human interactions by observing a family. I haven't seen this movie but I assume that's the reason why they...

I'm pretty sure Samus has been established as a genetically-modified human infused with Chozo DNA a long time ago, which is how she can use the power suit and morph ball without breaking into a pretzel unlike the poor space pirates who attempt to replicate her tech (data log in Metroid Prime)...

Sad about Udo Kier's passing, he wasn't a major actor or really the main star of anything I saw him in, but he was one of those actors that gives their all to even small parts. As such, it was often a surprise to suddenly see him in a movie I was watching but always happy to see him.

That's the sequel to F.I.S.T. Forged In Shadow Torch I assume? Same rabbit character named Ray. The first one was a surprisingly good side-scrolling Metroidvania, looks like tney decided to go full on sandbox with God of War fighting for this one. Might be interesting.
