  Oh damn yeah! The remap folks are FANTASTIC!

  I mostly just follow the nextlander crew and Jeff Gerstmann. They aren’t much more than podcasts, there’s little to no written work produced, and they don’t really consider themselves gaming journalists, but that’s pretty much what we’re left with.

  “Influencers” and corporate cash have largely killed games journalism.

  But Simba voluntarily went into exile, de facto abdicating the throne to the next heir, which was Scar.

  No pretending, Scar had a legitimate claim!

  But the prince is a sniveling snot weasel! Now, the Dread Pirate Roberts is a real kick-ass role model

  I didn’t find him particularly scary in Insomnia, but he was believable and his character had depth which meant a lot more in the context of the film.

  Insomnia is still a bit underrated, buried in the larger Nolan canon. It’s an incredible and inventive crime drama, but probably (one of?) Nolan’s weakest. Which is to say it’s broadly only like an 8/10.
