Homelander looks like he's punching someone that can take several hits from him so that limits the candidates, and it looks to be someone he cared about or admired based on his expression, so I'm gonna guess Soldier Boy. By the way, in the original comic (which this deviates from in major...

During desert exploration after I got the bike, I think he contacted me twice in about 10 minutes on the radio to remind me I can go to any zone now and to check my map if I need to find other places to explore. Then once I found the fire chip and went back into the overworld, he contacted me to...

Some of the final dungeons are pretty challenging as far as puzzles go, sometimes. I wish Nintendo would port / remaster A Link Between Worlds (the sequel to A Link to the Past) on Switch/Switch 2, it was a really great game but it was only on 3DS.

For those still on the fence due to the ever-present yapping NPCs in Metroid Prime 4.. here's some more thoughts as I keep playing the game : I'm now on the third "zone" of the game, and I've only had a NPC with me in about 3-4 rooms of the first zone, and he didn't talk for more than 5...

I got it on Switch some time ago, it's Contra, just with 2.5D graphis. There's some unlockable characters for some replayability since they get their own special attacks. It's probably not worth 20 bucks but it's not BAD.

Having mostly paperbacks (though all the same edition at least) of all of those books except the last three that I got in hardcover, I find those books shown above pretty damn nice-looking but $150 per book (at the very least, I expect prices will go up over time due to "materials") is a big...

Metroid Prime 4 definitely has Metroids, you encounter them like five minutes into the game. I've played another hour or so. The first "tag-along NPC" comes with you for about 4 or 5 rooms until he has to stay in place to repair some stuff while you go explore on your own (including a boss...

Shang Tsung finally lost Mortal Kombat :(

I played it today for about an hour. It feels exactly like a Metroid Prime game, with eerie music, silent protagonist, space pirates and weird fauna and flora. The first area after the prologue level reminds me a lot of Pandora. Game looks absolutely gorgeous on Quality setting for graphics (as...

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.

Dude took method acting way too far.

Terminator Salvation is a lot more tolerable if you watch it like it's a Mad Max movie. Most of the runtime is spent in a desert area, lots of dust everywhere, everything makes big billowing black smoke including super high-tech robots, ragged survivors fighting over food and fuel, it's a Mad...

Good god, Mass Effect was 18 years ago....

I've been playing the new Hyrule Warriors : Age of Imprisonment on Switch 2. A brief summary of my experience with the franchise so far : Hyrule Warriors : I didn't like it much, the story felt uninspired, the graphics felt very generic, and the central character was someone we didn't know...

Probably because you logged into a Nightborne, who are inately Exalted with the Nightfallen reputation in Remix and Retail.

I'm at versatility 850 now, should be at 999 within 4 days. If someone still needs a M+ carry for transmogs / title / achiev, let me know here and we can do that if you want. I have a +47 key currently, but if you're only interested in a 30+ for transmogs or 40+ for title (The Infernal), it's...

Link : "Hah-HYAH! Huh-huh-HYAAAAH!" Director : "Ok Link, now faster, more intense!"

Same for me, plus then he decided to also stop criticizing anything in movies he reviews because he found out making movies is hard so he didn't want to say anything negative anymore about any movies. That was the nail in the coffin for that channel for me.

I'm gonna wait and make my own opinion because in my experience, the Metroid Prime games are never appreciated early on because Nintendo rarely goes for the obvious sequel formula of "make same game betterer" and instead goes in bonkers new directions no one asked for. I recall Metroid Prime...

The premise of dumb-grunt aliens abducting humans into a huge industrial setting ship reminds me of the old video game Prey (not the one made by Arkane, the one where you're some native american dude whose girlfriend gets abducted by aliens that came some years prior to that one). Might check...

Here's hoping the new NoA CEO Jimmy Ganondorf is up to the task!

I totally misread that.

Are you sure you were on Standard difficulty? Cause even my 75 year old dad who plays Xbox was able to beat RE4 Remake repeatedly... and I recall not really having a hard time playing the OG RE4 at the time (and my dad beat that one too!). There's a lot of shooting and action in RE4 compared to...

"Aaaachktually!" Rosalina is the Mario equivalent of a Marvel cosmic entity, she's not just blue Peach.

Looks good and fun!

Fuck, LEGO knows to hit me right in the OoT!
