    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Most zone rares have 2 drops specific to them, though some share appearances with loot from other rares in other zones. Additionnally, every zone has 2 mounts that can drop off every rare randomly (and rarely), so a total of 8 mounts from Midnight rares. I got a few good BOE items that could...

    Resident Evil Requiem

    The story for this game requires a surprising amount of lore knowledge to make sense, I'm surprised. If you've not played or at least read about most of the prior games including side games like Revelations, you miss out on a ton of lore reveals and info dumps. Game has a vibe of Evil Within...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The most time-efficient way to do Prey quests is to just grab the quest before you go do world quests or rare farming in that specific zone, you build up your hunt progress as you do your quests normally, then you get the prey location and go there to kill it. If you already did the quests...

    Scary Movie (2026)

    Looks dumb but fun, so par for the course for the franchise. Good to see all the old cast came back for this one, some of the jokes in the trailer are definitely pretty funny, might still milk a few fragile snowflake tears even if the world has been healing from the safe space bullshit for a...

    They should probably have used this cinematic for the expansion instead of the one they chose with manly Lady Liadrin.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The Amani troll models are basically a mix of Orc and Troll models, I'm sure they could easily make them a future allied race for the Horde.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It's certainly not great, but to be fair the titans not being "lawful good" has been a theme for many years now in WoW's overarching story. They're at best extreme in their "ordering" of the universe according to their own design, and will mercilessly destroy anything that stands in the way of...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    You're not wrong, housing items should be on vendors only or as drops from specific stuff I think, instead I feel like every time I save a village they give me their old stuff that was cluttering their hut. Small spoilers below if you care about the story, as there's some bits of new lore...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I went into the forest to fight monsters straight after the intro, must have missed that one. But if the first thing you do when a new expansion drops is go look around a tailor shop, maybe you're asking to see gay dudes I'm just sayin'.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I've played the early access for Midnight for about 10 hours or so. So far I'm quite impressed with the quality of the new content. Compared to The War Within, I think the quest lines flow together a lot better, there are way more voiced lines by characters (even minor ones), and they put in a...

    The Mandalorian & Grogu (2026)

    That was a pretty good trailer. I guess some of the movie will take place on Ord Mantell which we never got to actually see in any Star Wars media even though it was mentioned as far back as The Empire Strikes Back, the big creature in the scene at the end of the trailer is a Mantellian Savrip...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...
