WotR is so fucking good. But a quick PSA for anyone interested: Install the Bubble Buffs mod so you don’t have to spend 5 minutes casting your 37 buffs before every large fight.

- Comment on What movies have you watched this week? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I think so. There are 4k remasters of both on youtube.
Bride of Re-Animator (2nd one) is good, and still pretty coherent (for Re-Animator anyway). It’s also got one of my favorite speeches from West. It’s based off the chapters of the Lovecraft story the first one didn’t cover. It kicks off with West and Cain from the first one trying to rebuild Meg from spare parts.
Beyond Re-Animator is, if I’m honest, a narrative mess with plot holes you could drive a truck through, but it’s still pretty fun. It’s not based on the Lovecraft story at all, they made up some stuff with West in a prison for the actual 13 years since the last one. A new prison doctor who’s been following his work helps him make some new reagent and shit gets out of hand.
Beyond has some of my favorite undead in the series though. A junkie gets a vial and shoots up with it, while he’s still alive. It goes… poorly.
- Comment on What movies have you watched this week? 2 weeks ago:
After rewatching Justice League Unlimited last week and remembering he voiced The Question, I’ve been having myself a little Jeffrey Combs film fest.
Watched all 3 Re-Animators and The Frighteners. I’ll probably keep it going with From Beyond and/or Castle Freak, neither of which I’ve seen yet.

Yes! You get what I’m looking for exactly.

Nah, Witchistan’s national anthem is much more of a banger.

Listen to this person and also play Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction.

Well they had to after Attenborough pointed out that the original name looked like “bang bus”.
- Comment on what was the last game you played in 2024? 2 months ago:
Guardians of the Galaxy. The gameplay could have been a bit better, but otherwise it was fantastic. Better than any of the movies except the end of 2.

Look, either make “Ken Burns’ The Silmarillion” already or let the franchise rest.
- Comment on What happened to the turn based RPG and RTS genres? 5 months ago:
That’s a fair assessment. There are a ridiculous number of classes and subclasses each with their own quirks. And that’s without getting into multiclassing or Wrath’s mythic path system. I’ve definitely spent 20+ minutes leveling up before.
Do you like JRPGs? Yakuza: Like a Dragon is fairly recent and has a sequel (that I haven’t gotten to play yet). The story is NOT your typical RPG fare, it’s a modern drama about an ex-gangster trying to get back on his feet after prison. But the combat is a classic turn-based RPG and it’s fun, stylish, and just barely complex enough to stay engaging.
- Comment on What happened to the turn based RPG and RTS genres? 5 months ago:
The graphics are much simpler than BG3, but Owlcat has done some fantastic work with their Pathfinder games.
Wrath of the Righteous is much more polished and expanded than Kingmaker, but they’re both great. They both have the option to play in turn-based like BG3, or real time with pause like the old BG games.
- Comment on Kotaku being Kotaku 6 months ago:
Children deserve better movies than this soulless green-screened cash grab.
They also deserve better games than Minecraft IMO, but that’s a different conversation.
- Comment on What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from? 6 months ago:
Twisted Metal: Black II please. Or even one that’s a little more of a dark comedy like TM2. I just know I hated everything after Black. (Why the fuck were we racing instead of fighting sometimes?!)
- Comment on What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from? 6 months ago:
I haven’t gotten to try it yet, but I hear Dread Delusion has a lot of Morrowind’s visual style and weirdness, if not quite the same gameplay.

- Comment on Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review to access the playtest 10 months ago:
This is utter hogshit, but also seems relatively easy to work around. “I am legally forbidden from sharing my opinions on the quality of Marvel Rivals.” is a pretty clear and succinct review that technically flies under their legal fuckery.

- Comment on [Article] "How Daniel Radcliffe Outran Harry Potter" Has anyone been following his later work? 10 months ago:
I haven’t gotten to see season 4 yet, but he’s been great in Miracle Workers.
It’s a seasonal anthology comedy. So each season follows a storyline, and then the next season is the same cast, but with a completely unrelated setting and story.

Netherbeast Incorporated (2007)
No one I know has ever seen this movie. Dave Foley, Darrel Hammond, and uh… Steve from Blue’s Clue’s… in a delightfully weird vampire office comedy.

Some generous billionaire could come along one day and pay off huge medical debts for patients, on a whim.
Go on then, pull the other one.

Ah, but what of the feet? Even if you need both feet for one job, that’s still another dick or two.

So, when you remove what I assume is an announcement bot and lizard people from the equation, the answer is George Takei? Yeah, that sounds about right.
- Comment on Disgaea fans: How does 4 compare to 1 and 2, doods? 1 year ago:
So I found out after I posted this that there’s a demo, and 40 minutes in I already like Valvotorez more than Laharl, and at least on par with Adell. Seems like I’ll finish the demo to eb sure, and probably pick it up.

It wasn’t necessarily a badly-designed feature, I’m just bitter because I sucked.
