Can’t wait to watch Sam Porter Bridges building bridges as a porter for Bridges - without controller input.
- Comment on We're deep into the baggy era mate 3 days ago:
I used to buy Levi’s, but not only have they dropped quality, they introduced some weird “in the know” naming scheme where they still make “old” Levi’s, but just charge $200 a pop for them. Now I just grab Kirkland.
- Comment on Sony blocks Stellar Blade on more than 100 countries 1 week ago:
Nothing to see here, just Sony doing Sony things. Money burning a hole in your pocket? Go grab a handful of indie games.
- Comment on First-party Switch 2 games—including re-releases—all run either $70 or $80 1 month ago:
I think it kills game leaks before the street date. Even if the data isn’t in the carriage (which is stupid), you would still be able to sell the cartage assuming the online service is still active.
Sucks for game preservation though. I’m personally hoping there’s some flaw in the gen 1 hardware that can be exploited for archive purchases.
- Comment on "I Hope That's Not a F—ing Secret": 'Starfleet Academy' Gets an Out-of-This-World Update from Jonathan Frakes 2 months ago:
I love Frakes. He’s just so passionate about what he’s working on and honestly it’s so rare to see people in his role geek out so much - not only does he “get it”, but he loves it - and as a fan I’m here for it.
- Comment on Microsoft may lose $120 million due to the Overwatch League shutdown 1 year ago:
I don’t think that a forced esports league was going to prosper anyway. Things like EVO,l and pre-accusation MLG where the focus is independent of the game are where esports can flourish. It’s important to note that games change and interests shift, these “leagues” don’t have the staying power like traditional sports leagues.
With that said, Microsoft now owns the MLG name and assets, and could build that back up if they had interest.
- Comment on Alright, where do I begin? 1 year ago:
Strange New Worlds (SNW) is the single best entry point for someone new to the franchise, and that’s a black mountain I’m willing to die on. It blends modern storytelling with the classic Trek formula, and since it’s basically a pickup of the original Pilot, it’s pretty darn close do the beginning of the timeline.
Strange New Worlds offers an accessible entry point that holds the same core as The Next Generation (TNG) or the original series (TOS). There’s only two seasons so far, but if you like it and are craving more, I recommend watching TNG afterwards, and continuing that line in order of series air date (DS9, VOY, ENT).
It’s easy for many of us to recommend our favorite series, or our own entry points, but the reality is most of Trek is dated and not a good place to start for someone used to modern television.
