I did not care for this movie. It was poorly written, tasteless, and had gratoiuois rib elbowing nostalgia references.

Sounds amazing, and I love Bruce Campbell! Added to my watch list!

- Comment on Wizard of Legend 2 comes to Early Access on October 3 2 months ago:
The first game was pretty fun, but I don’t think it quite hit all the high notes their formula could possibly hit. I very much look forward to trying out the sequel!
- Comment on Risk of Rain 2: Seekers of the Storm - Launch Trailer 2 months ago:
Oh shit yeah! I hope it’s good, I heard this expansion was 100% made by Gearbox, and not by Hopoo, so I’m a bit worried it won’t have the same great feel of prior content.
I know that Gearbox worked directly with Hopoo on the prior expansion, but still… it’s Gearbox.

Voyager was always hit or miss for me, but I always enjoyed the concept of an emergency medical hologram.

With all the plants overgrowing atop the sign, it looks like a picture from the post apocalypse, where the gas prices were obscene during end times.
- Comment on Knife vs. Gun Control? 3 months ago:
When a moral panic happens, a lot of things get blown out of proportion. A good example was the panic relating to D&D and satanism. There was a huge panic sometime in the 50s or 60s about the police dealing with young thugs with concealed switch blades, which could be hidden, and then deployed one handed so fast a cop couldn’t draw his weapon fast enough. So this panic got a lot of laws drawn up to ban any switch blade.
Since then, the there are knives that skirt the law by not having a spring which force the blade open, instead a tension bar. There are still types are illegal to carry if a Cop would find out you have it, like “Out the front” switch knives.
The stupid part is, there are plenty of “one hand deployable” knives on the market that are 100% legal. But the laws never get revisited. In my state it’s illegal to have a out the front switch blade, yet a bunch of high end OTF knives are for sale at a sporting store. They just post a sign that says “Know your local laws”, which some how makes it okay to sell.
If anyone has more to add, or corrects, let me know.
- Comment on Space Marine 2 Devs Cancel Beta To Focus On 'Best' Possible Launch 4 months ago:
My knee jerk reaction is that the rumors I heard that the game isn’t in a good place might be more then rumors. That sucks, I was really excited for this one, I hope it turns out great.
- Comment on A Quiet Place: Day One | Final Trailer (2024 Movie) - Lupita Nyong'o, Joseph Quinn 4 months ago:
Right there with ya on that, the first movie was awful, so I never saw the second. Day One looks like the story I actually wanted to see.

That right there is incredibly good to know. Those little changes would make it bearable! Thanks for the information!
- Comment on After 10 years in early access, 7 Days To Die finally has a release date for version 1.0 5 months ago:
Fantastic, Undead Legacy was on my radar! My best friend and I have played hundreds of hours of Darkness Falls and have loved every moment of it. We’ve a bit worn out on DF, but I’ll keep Undead Legacy in mind the next time we want to do another play through of a 7DTD mod! What’s the “anti-bullshit” mod do by the way?
- Comment on After 10 years in early access, 7 Days To Die finally has a release date for version 1.0 5 months ago:
7DTD is fun, but The Fun Pimps have made some perplexing design decisions. Luckily there are a ton of great mods that all have unique spins. I prefer the Darkness Falls mod, it fixes a lot of the stupid design decisions of the original makers, and ramps the difficulty since vanilla 7DTD can be pretty easy after you get built up.

That’s a wall of beef. It’s like the painter hadn’t ever seen a bull, but just had a vague description and extrapolated.

That looks like a blast! I always have a soft spot for shooters of the 90’s and early 2000s.
- Comment on Vampire survival game V Rising 1.0 live with gamepad support (good for Steam Deck) 6 months ago:
Oh finally! I wanted to play this co-op with my best friend. He comes over, I play games on my PC, and he uses my gaming laptop. But he doesn’t play with keyboard/mouse as he’s more used to consoles. So we weren’t able to play V Rising!
- Comment on EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6 - Release Date Trailer 6 months ago:
I know, my best friend and I were watching like hawks, waiting for the traditional 1 year to elapse for a US console release. Normally it’s 1 year after Japan’s release then it comes out in the US on Playstation. Then 6 months too a year later it comes out on PC. It’s wonderful it’ll come out on PC at the same time as the consoles. That way my best friend and I can play on PCs in the same room, get better FPS, and larger screens since we won’t need to split screen for local coop.
- Comment on EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6 - Release Date Trailer 6 months ago:
Oh man! It’s releases on all platforms at once, even PC!!! Normally PC comes out like a year later. That’s fantastic!

Up next, the Epic Augmented Reality glasses, which block you from seeing anything that might hurt your feelings, or you don’t agree with.
- Comment on O.J. Simpson, Athlete Whose Trial Riveted the Nation, Dies at 76 7 months ago:
Two days ago, the phrase “The juice is loose” popped into my head, and I vaguely remembered that was used during his football hay days.
That whole thing was insane, the media coverage, the slow bronco chase, the silly phrases like “If the glove doesn’t fit, you must acquit”. I very much think that guy got away with murder, because after he was declared innocent, there was no follow up on who else might have killed those two people.
- Comment on FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH - Destined for Rebirth 10 months ago:
I don’t understand why some companies just can’t figure out a consistent naming schedule for sequels. I’m looking at you Capcom and Street Fight Ultra Turbo Alpha Second Strike Tournament Edition with a Cherry On Top
- Comment on FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH - Destined for Rebirth 10 months ago:
Ok great! I didn’t finish the first installment on PS4, so I can wait for this new release and play through the first part and second part + DLC all in one game. Sounds good to me!
- Comment on FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH - Destined for Rebirth 10 months ago:
I have a dumb question:
So, the naming convention is confusing here, is this just the next installment of the Remake?
- Comment on What are some helpful gaming websites you wish people knew? 11 months ago:
I’ve gotten a lot of mileage out of co-optimus.com when looking for co-op games to play with friends. It’s really helpful, you can filter games out by platform, number of players, online co-op, local co-op, split screen, dated released. It’s very helpful!

- Comment on Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has been delayed until late 2024 | Rock Paper Shotgun 11 months ago:
I know it’ll be worth the improvements, but I’m allowed to be disappointed all the same. I swear they had a November release, so a week or so ago when I tried to find the release date, I couldn’t find it again, and instead just saw Winter 2023. I was bracing for a delay (still disappointed though).

Well done comic, I’m sufficiently grossed out! I always hated those weird banana tentacles when I was a kid… and an adult!
