This is FOH - only feelings and rage You also know 90% of the people suddenly becoming scholars on the Odyssey are reading shit before posting to refresh their memories (if they even read it). Pretty sure I last read it 30 years ago - all I remember was cyclops, charibdus/scalla, the sirens...

No, Drinker wanted to release a video because early takes on Andor from the usual ragebait suspects online were the typical "Anything Disney is 100% DEI REEEEEEEE" shit so he put out a video shitting on it for being that after a few episodes (to take advantage of the online ragebait trend)...

Fixed that for you. His Andor season 2 180 was a perfect example of this

Which wasn't a bad idea at its core, the execution just sucked. It's just a really average feeling game. They spread themselves so thin that nothing really stands out.

lol you don't understand either. There are certain physical traits that have commonalities in terms of what your average human will find attractive in a potential mate - usually they are tied to things like perceived health or fertility. However, that is still subjective to a degree since...

I wouldn’t be shocked it Sony was sold “GotG meets Overwatch” and wrote the check. On paper GotG meets Overwatch sounds good (during their peaks anyways) and quirky characters fit in that mold because both properties have quirky characters. The issue ended up being you can’t just copy a base...

Probably Conan lol

Concord kinda proves my point: that wasn’t a safe bet, they took a gamble and failed hard.

Big budget always means strings attached. You have to answer for that money, so devs will play it safe more often than not because if you take a risk and it flops hard, then you’re pretty much done as a dev at that point

In other news, Bethesda confirmed a few things today 1) Fallout 3/NV remasters are being worked on 2) Obsidian is working on a Fallout game 3) They seem to imply that for now Fallout 5 is still theirs 4) Starfield is still getting content 5) FO76 is getting a Fallout 3 soft prequel...

Feel free to point out what was “woke” about Highguard, or feel free to NPC parrot what social media tells you to think. It was just a bland fucking game. One of the best descriptions I saw of the game is it looked like those fake video games they show some kid playing in a movie or tv show.

All true, although it is also something to get your potential fanbase engaged. When you pitch a movie or game or product or whatever, the setting or concept goes a long way in selling it before anything is even built. AoC or Star Citizen are a great example of that: people were sold on the...

Didn’t they have a free weekend a few weeks back? Free to play is a bad model unless you have enough whales willing to help you make money anyways

They have been building the basis of the multiverse stuff for years, though. The last Avengers movie, Loki show, past 2 Spider-Man movies, the Doctor Strange films, Antman, Deadpool, and so on So while they haven’t been building to Doom, they have laid all the groundwork on the multiverse...

Highguard didn’t flop because it was “woke”, it flopped because it had a boring game play loop, generic ass character designs, was built as an “e-sport” style game that wasnt casual friendly, and people were mad it was the final review at the game awards as opposed to a game they cared about

Would have been cooler if it was a game mode where you have to survive the entire trip home

The most petty thing they could do is include a 30 second Easter egg where the Agents of Shield universe gets ultra deleted But that would require that they ever acknowledge AoS lol

The best part of FF8 was triple triad. I’m glad FF14 used that version of the card game because the version in ff9 sucked

Make some authentic period dishes before you go and hate watch the movie

Melee Blair sounds like he could be fun. I still don’t have ultimate Blair, though. Farming void ark is zzzzz

Daybreakers was such an awesome concept that was completely wasted by shitty writing

I couldn’t care less about all the changes they made to the movie vs story, but turning a horse into a marsupial is a step too far for me!

Well, depends on the culture and context. There's a reason a lot of countries get confused by Americans smiling so much lol

Was that the spruce goose at the end? Howard Hughes is in big trouble I guess lol

No doubt, but unless Amazon keeps the show going for like another 5 years and people are still tuning in, the show will probably be long over by the time any game drops. Even if we are being charitable and work with the assumption that preliminary work on the game started a couple years ago...

The IP is only worth something so long as there is a fanbase that will tune in for it. They've basically got two options: 1) Release something that appeases the new fans and old fans - doable, but you need to thread that needle carefully 2) Don't give a shit about the old fans and release...

Interesting... Original director of FO:NV involved apparently https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-07-08/microsoft-s-xbox-to-shift-obsidian-studio-to-new-fallout-video-game

The Blair Witch marketing was genius - like Juvarisx mentions, it was so good that people legitimately thought it was real found footage and they were going to watch a movie about people getting ganked in the woods. Pretty much a right time, right place sort of movie that would be hard to...

The science in the film isn’t that outlandish. The microbes that can perfectly absorb solar output and propelled themselves at relativistic speeds is probably the most improbable thing, but then again so were the ship drives in The Expanse Not pure hard sci-fi, more like “reasonable sci-fi...

Next big content drop is a ways away. I mostly stopped playing because the events/quests were getting dumb and meh rewards - I needed goals in the game I was motivated about “Give me 8 non-stackable items that only drop from bosses!”

Using that logic, people should have refunded Portal 1 en masse, which means no Portal 2 happens (although Portal 1 was part of Orange Box originally, but tried to think of a good game that you can easily beat in under 2 hours)

Then you can't complain lol

This was a small budget film, but even in big budget films you typically don't see any manner of residuals unless it was something negotiated as part of your contract

I’ve been seeing reports it’s lots of senior individuals as well - main quest guys for both ESO and FO76 got let go, as well as large chunks of those teams. Might be a sign those games will go on maintenance mode soon

She was paid, just not a lot of money (like everyone else)

Depends on the company, but it usually boils down to people directly reporting to someone over them. So maybe you have a team leader, who reports to a manager, who reports to a senior manager, who reports to a director and then you get various shades of VPs and executives. Each role in theory...

That sounds like one of those ultra low budget shitty movies that used to come out on DVD as the same time as a bigger movie to confuse grandmothers at Walmart. "Timmy said he wants the new Star Wars movie - this one says "The Star War" and it's in the new section. Lets get him this one!"

I got a laugh out of how he responded by saying that was the recommendation on federal government websites and after he said that, those site pages got wiped.

The book goes into a lot more detail on the Eridians and their culture/biology - worth a read if you want to get more about them.

End of Chuck was so fucking shit. They spend all these seasons building up Chuck and Sarah, then at the end they're like "Hey, what if we made Sarah forget everything? lolololol"
