I really enjoyed Blasphemous and happily grabbed Blasphemous 2 when it came out, but I couldn't even finish it. I'm not sure why, I just got really bored about halfway through and couldn't be bothered. I might go back to it someday, but I think the general consensus is that it wasn't quite as...

Trailer's fine, I always thought the memory wipe arc was a mistake anyway. I'm no expert on Spider-Man comics, but when I think Spider-Man I like to think of a fun quip-throwing acrobatic super hero, not a kid / young man depressed, miserable and self-loathing. The world need less super hero...

Clearly the solution is to take the Expanse team and send them on SG-1 missions in an entirely new show.

The problem about this idea of putting those franchises on ice for 20 years... who will even care then? Most kids these days never read comics or read books. Most haven't seen Star Wars stuff except what came out in recent years maybe, and to them it's just a pew-pew space vroom bunch of moving...

If you're just rushing through the levels, I'd say Yoshi is probably 10 hours tops (maybe a lot less because I'm not sure if you unlock worlds 11 and 12 without having completed a lot of the earlier worlds). You do need a certain number of stars to unlock new worlds, and stars are earned from...

Not to go too off-topic, but I wonder sometimes if Amazon will bring back The Expanse in a few years with the actors older to do the post time-skip final books. Ending the show after the Marco arc wasn't particularly satisfying.

I also recently played Shinobi : Art of Vengeance. It's available on PS4/PS5, Xbox, Switch 1/2 and PC. It was made by the same team that did the excellent Streets of Rage 4, with beautiful drawn graphics, smooth animations and responsive gameplay. I enjoyed Streets of Rage 4 but Shinobi Art...

Finally finished Yoshi & the Mysterious Book. As I said in my early impressions, it's a very cute and whimsical game and it didn't look very deep in the early previews and announcement videos. However, it took me over 50 hours to 100% it, there's a LOT of levels (you have six worlds with six...

I don't really watch any streamers, or rather not their streams, I'll watch on Youtube after the fact usually. I generally close the chat window because I too find it insufferable, but it depends on the game too, and some channels have a really slow casual chat that's not full of obnoxious...

I agree it was very frustrating, but part of me also thinks it made me play the game differently and made it a bit more interesting and challenging because I'm usually the kind of guy that uses one weapon for a whole game or at least a small selection of weapons/items, but BOTW's weapon system...

BOTW was Myamoto being blown away by Skryim and wanting to make his own version of it in the Zelda universe. The end result came too late to break any new ground and it had some features that made it both frustrating (weapons breaking as mentioned) and not really feel like a Zelda game (little...

I've been thinking for years they should re-release A Link Between Worlds on Switch using the same engine they made Link's Awakening and Echoes of Wisdom with. I'd also like A Link to the Past with the same engine, but the art style of SNES pixels hasn't aged a day, I still find it beautiful.

You may not have liked Metroid Dread, but the same studio also did Samus Returns, a very good Metroid 2 remake on 3DS. That's more what I had in mind when I said give them the Zelda 2 remake personally. As for Ocarina of Time, I played the 3DS version and it was indeed an upscaled remaster...

Ocarina of Time remake sounds like an obvious money printing machine (and it WILL print money), but I'll admit I'm not sure what I want from it. If they're going for a 1 to 1 remake with modern graphics, then the game will be done in a few hours because every Zelda fan has played it dozens of...

The other day I watched The Empire Strikes Back on Disney+, just the one. It ends and D+ goes "Hey since you liked this, you'll probably like The Acolyte" and was about to load it up. Return of the Jedi was the second suggestion after The Acolyte.

Remake the game where you shoot blacks, or remake the game where Claire calls the villain a crossdressing freak. I bet that must have been a fun brainstorming session at Capcom HQ.

Did someone put a curse on the Buffy cast or something? That's three stars dead in 2 years.

Nostalgia is the only driving factor to get people into seats these days. Young people don't go to the theater except to see horror movies.

I love Stargate SG-1 (and the Stargate film), I've seen some of Atlantis and never watched Universe but I know what they're about and will watch them eventually. However, I can't really imagine another direction for this franchise.. I mean, SG-1 already used a LOT of various mythologies, then...

As I said in a previous post, the toy manufacturers have long since adapated their lines to what works. Hasbro and LEGO, the two main Star Wars stuff manufacturers, are focusing mostly on the original trilogy, a little less on the prequels, and a little on the current flavor of the month (Maul...

Season 2 trailer if you want to see what it looks like (not really any spoilers for season 1 in this, it's mostly snippets of action scenes but you'll get a taste of the art style and animation)

I couldn't find any threads about this TV series on Netflix. I watched the first season out of curiosity because I enjoyed the games (never played the dumb reboot though), and it was decent, the character of Dante was pretty much the same as the games but it was a mostly original story. I...

Title: Devil May Cry Genre: Animation, Action & Adventure, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Creator: Adi Shankar First aired: 2025-04-03 Overview: In this epic battle of good vs. evil, the lines are blurry as hell. But a devilishly handsome demon hunter could be the world's best hope for salvation.

Thus sparing us of Indiana Jones 4.

Depends on how expensive going to the theater is for you I'd say. It's not really a must-see-right-now, I liked the Mandalorian series and I wasn't particularly hyped or excited about this movie, so I could totally have waited to see it on Disney+ in 6 months or whatever. For us it was an...

A few more thoughts and remarks about the movie but some are minor spoilers so..

I can't honestly say I noticed a difference in the quality of direction between this and The Force Awakens which is JJ Abrams' best Star Wars work (not a high bar) but of course this kind of thing is probably quite subjective and I'm admittedly not some kind of cinema school graduate. To me...

Went to see it today with some friends and their kids and the wife and teenage kid. Overall everyone liked it, despite only our family having seen the TV series so it confirms that you don't really need to know much about the Mandalorian to appreciate this movie. That said, despite not having...

Probably because they realized it's impossible to dislike Karl Urban.

I got Yoshi & the Mysterious Book on Switch 2. So far it's pretty fun. Super cute and whimsy, very relaxing. I'm only like a couple of hours into it and trying to 100% the levels as I go, but there's some stuff you really have to explore and tinker with to discover some hidden mechanics or...

I firmly believe Terror died of a broken heart once he realized he'd never get to eat that Homelander turkey leg and fuck Homelander.

Yeah, it was like they couldn't make up their mind whether all sea life has some kind of hivemind. If they do, you'd think no fucking fish would ever come at Deep's call because they keep fucking dying every time he summons a creature to help him, or tries to help them. The whole "blame Deep for...

To be honest, the ending of the comics is worse than the series. The story arcs are quite different, but the jist of it is that Homelander goes insane in his lust for power in both the comics and the series but in the comics it's because he keeps receiving pictures anonymously of himself doing...

The most unintentionally funny part of the season for me was the Gen V cast humiliation that kept on going. Like after two seasons of building up Marie Moreau's importance and her powers as arguably beyond Homelander-level (resurrecting dead people, splattering the walls with Godolkin after...

That was pretty much my take as well, it was as satisfying as a one-hour episode after a season of mostly nothing happening could have been. It resolved most of the important stuff, if quite predictably. I feel this won't go down as another Game of Thrones ending.

Yes the First Order isn't quite there yet (and likely won't be mentioned at all, considering Disney is seemingly trying to soft-bury the sequels). Sigourney Weaver's character seems to still be fighting the fight despite the New Republic's demilitarization, she's still known as Colonel Ward...

At this point of the story, there is no more Rebel Alliance, this is the New Republic which very much underestimates the issues caused by the Imperial Remnant, which consists of mostly scattered and disorganized Imperial high-ranking officers turned warlords, and also Grand Admiral Thrawn...

When we watched Maul Shadow Lord recently with the family, I said half-jokingly I'd totally watch a show about some backwater planet police detective solving crimes in the Star Wars universe. It's a really huge and rich universe and background but they keep making movies about the same fucking...

That was one of my favorite "monster of the week" X-Files episodes for some reason.
