    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Interesting read indeed. Putting my thoughts in spoilers because it's a big wall of text and I'm not sure where I was going with it.

    The Mandalorian & Grogu (2026)

    I think there's probably also an industry-wide realization that marketing costs have fucking exploded over the last decade, and there's also a sort of trailer fatigue from the masses. I used to love seeing new trailers when I was young, but nowadays you either get the full movie spoiled in the...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    While you make a fair point, the "stormtroopers can't aim" is also invoked in The Mandalorian in-universe. I think they also mention in comics how the stormtrooper helmets are terribly designed and block a lot of your view at best when you're trying to shoot. But yeah, in most cases when...

    Waiting for the advertising brochure to explain why the Elderly Helper 5000 requires complete functional female anatomy.

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    EDIT : meant to post this in the dedicated Nintendo Switch thread, sorry about the double post here and there, but I guess it's Gaming News. Nintendo Direct Partners today : Nothing mind-blowing, the usual shovelful of animé games and JRPGs, but some cool ports onto Switch 2 such as - Indiana...

    Nintendo Direct Partners today : Nothing mind-blowing, the usual shovelful of animé games and JRPGs, but some cool ports onto Switch 2 such as - Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (Switch 2) - Fallout 4 Remastered (Switch 2) - Oblivion Remastered (Switch 2) A few of the indie games shown look...

    Overwatch

    Might not be the same for you if you're in it for the team aspect, but perhaps if they manage to make a at least half-assed PVE game around Overwatch, you could play that. But there's probably better PVE shooters out there I guess.

    Overwatch

    The problem with the release of more heroes for Overwatch as opposed to Marvel Rivals is that for Marvel you have literally hundreds of established characters from Marvel lore and they each have their own established fanbase, even if it's very niche someone will be happy that their favorite...

    Overwatch

    After playing Overwatch for years, I completely dropped it once Overwatch 2 came out because it killed Overwatch for no good reason, and was all around a worse version of Overwatch. These changes seem promising, but it's too little too late probably. Overwatch as a franchise had the potential...

    I can see her being the reason why more people would use Trojans, so I guess it checks out.

    What would you like to see remade?

    Oddworld already got a remake a few years ago, it's called Oddworld : New N Tasty, and it's an exact remake of the original game, rebuilt from scratch with updated graphics but entirely identical otherwise.

    What would you like to see remade?

    Not precisely a "remake", but Two Point Studios (founded by old Bullfrog devs) has been doing awesome sim-games like Hospital, Campus and recently Museum, but I'd really like for them to remake something like Theme Park. I know there's been a bunch of theme park creator simulators since Theme...

    The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026)

    It looks awesome, can't wait to see it. Also seeing some SMB2 love with the Clawgrip and Mouser cameos in the scene where Peach uses her umbrella to deflect Birdo's eggs. I wonder if we'll also see other bosses like Triclyde, Fryguy or Wart. SMB2 doesn't get enough love.

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    Yeah, it seems obvious that making a Chalmun's Cantina-like bar would print money, hire like 12 guys to be random aliens in there, have some novelty drinks amidst a regular menu (Jawa Juice, or stuff that bubbles or smokes with dry ice) and have the cantina music played by the alien band. Every...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I still have my Switch 1 and the Switch 2, but Switch 1 looks so small now when I compare them. I know I can play it on the TV but my son is usually hogging it for his PS5 so I've gotten used to playing it handheld. I like my Switch 2 but yeah not many games exclusive to it for now.

    Stranger Things

    While the final season and overall ending of Stranger Things isn't without its (glaring) flaws, and even though it's probably a good excuse I suppose, I think it kind of works well with the 80's vibe, entertainment in the 80's often had abrupt endings where everything worked out even though it...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    You can also buy every single of those "treasure hunt" items from a nearby vendor. So it's even more disappointing.

    What are you playing?

    Playing Soul Reaver 2 Remastered, from the remastered bundle they released some months ago that included Soul Reaver 1+2. I'd played Soul Reaver a bunch of times on PS1 in my youth and love that game, but I'd somehow never played SR2. So far it feels like a big step down from SR1 in most...

    Awesome Games Done Quick 2016 - 2019

    Do they even let you play RE5 anymore at AGDQ-style events? The whole game is you shooting black dudes (they patched in some random asians sprinkled on top though).

    The Odyssey (2026)

    Villeneuve would have been a great director for this kind of epic, and would have had better sound mixing than another fucking Nolan film where you can't hear any of the dialogues (Tenet was awful in that regard in a bunch of scenes, on top of being overall pretty terrible).

    Metroid Prime 4:Beyond

    I think that's a bit harsh for some of those elements. MP4 soundtrack was just fine for me, I especially liked the Volt Forge theme but overall they were all enjoyable I thought, though if you put the lack of music in the desert hub area as a soundtrack issue, then yes that's a point against...

    Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (2026)

    This looks like Guardians of the Galaxy if you removed the Guardians of the Galaxy from it and put in two random girls. And a dog who maybe dies, so fuck that. I'm not really interested in Supergirl, and am not a big fan of Superman in the first place though I did go see and truly enjoyed the...

    Metroid Prime 4:Beyond

    I grabbed whatever green crystals were in my way during trips between areas, but I don't recommend "grinding" them until you unlock the crystal detector, then they show up on your radar very obviously and you can really rack them up. And once you unlock the upgraded bombs, you can destroy the...

    Metroid Prime 4:Beyond

    Me too, mostly because I feel I didn't really get into it the first time around and I wish I did because I hear great things about it, but I think at the time I was a bit annoyed / disappointed by the constant need to shield yourself from the "dark", it felt like I couldn't really explore in the...

    Metroid Prime 4:Beyond

    I finished the game today with 17 hours and 40 minutes spent, I tried to get 100% items and 100% scans but I ended up at 98% items and missed 1 scan in the final battle (make sure you scan the final boss in the third phase). If you're going to attempt 100%, make sure to copy your save onto...

    Metroid Prime 4:Beyond

    I had been driving over green crystals on my way through the desert area between worlds and it only got me about half of the crystal vessel, but once I unlocked the mega bombs it lets you destroy the big boulders and those really drive the numbers up, I wouldn't waste much time on the small...

    Metroid Prime 4:Beyond

    The central desert area has a bunch of points of interest other than the green crystals though. There's at least 3 underground "shrines" to boost your elemental beams, at least 2 other places to boost your bike's boosts, several buildings that you need various abilities to explore to find...

    Metroid Prime 4:Beyond

    Since you need the five teleporter keys to access it, I assume the Chrono Tower will be the sixth area, maybe the last one. I finished the third area (not counting the bike area). I recall the engineer telling me I can go to whatever area I wanted after I got the bike but in the end I felt like...

    The Boys

    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...

    Metroid Prime 4:Beyond

    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...

    What are you playing?

    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.
