- Comment on The Outer Worlds 2 Can't Be Anti-Capitalist When It's Charging Us $80 To Play It 1 week ago:
Microsoft doesn’t expect anyone to pay $80. They expect people to sub to Game Pass instead.
- Comment on Boutique Blu-ray Labels Thrive in Digital Age, Defying Streaming Dominance, SXSW London Panel Finds: ‘The Romanticism of Having a Physical Product’ 2 weeks ago:
“Romanticism” of higher quality, too.
- Comment on Nioh 3 - Announcement Trailer 2 weeks ago:
Really wish this were multi platform. I love the series but I’m not about to pay jacked-up PS5 console prices.
- Comment on The Faculty, any day 2 weeks ago:
7.1 on IMDb, 80% RT (“certified fresh”)… this isn’t a shitty movie. Like, we all believe it’s actually good, and it needs no defending.
- Comment on Black Mirror AI 4 weeks ago:
We’re racing towards the Blackwall from Cyberpunk 2077…
- Comment on Easy sell 5 weeks ago:
Do you have to run the keyboard’s software?
I have a Corsair K100 and it does all the normal keyboard stuff without any software even installed on my machine. Also, the RGB lighting can run from on-device memory, which is super nice.
- Comment on Bob Iger Says Disney’s Film Slate in Next 18 Months Is Its Best Since 2019 1 month ago:
What else is he gonna say, “We’ll be churning out some real turds”? He’s the dude in charge. Of course he’s going to hype it.
- Comment on Would you like to see a mainline Pokemon game created in the old style? 1 month ago:
I mean, this is just Cassette Beasts, and it is indeed a damn good game.
- Comment on Gears of War: Reloaded announced, coming this summer to PC, Xbox, and PlayStation 1 month ago:
With cross-play across all platforms, you and your friends can squad up no matter where you play — no Microsoft account required.
However, signing in with a Microsoft account unlocks full cross-platform functionality. It enables cross-progression, so your Campaign and multiplayer progress carries across devices. It also allows you to send invites and play with friends across platforms — like Xbox to PlayStation or Steam to Xbox.
Honestly, this is the way to handle the incorporation of platform-specific accounts; totally optional, but actually gives you a sensible benefit if you choose to go that route. Sony could learn a lot here.
- Comment on What is your favorite indie game? 1 month ago:
N++
Undoubtedly the best, most complete 2D platformer I’ve ever played. Super tight controls and incredible level design, coupled with an episode-long timer mechanic that you can influence makes this one absolutely unmatched. Sure, games like Celeste are flashier, but nothing is a better game than N++. I think I put something like 120 hours into this to get the platinum on PS4. I would happily start over and play the whole thing from scratch again.
- Comment on ‘Brokeback Mountain’ Getting 20th Anniversary Re-Release This Summer 1 month ago:
Good movie, horrible timing.
- Comment on Universal will be releasing "DROP" on 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray on June 10. 1 month ago:
Theatrical release was April 11, 2025. Dunno why I would even bother paying $30+ to see movies like this at the theater when I can grab the UHD release for less $ just 60 days later.
Not that I’m complaining, as I love owning physical copies.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 | Review Thread (92/100 OpenCritic) 1 month ago:
Holy shit. That is some high praise across those reviews.
Looking like this will be a mega win for Game Pass. Can’t wait to play it tomorrow.
- Comment on Fallout: Season One 4K Blu-ray 1 month ago:
Very pleasant surprise here! I had no idea this was getting a physical release.
- Comment on Nintendo Maintains Nintendo Switch 2 Pricing, Retail Pre-Orders to Begin April 24 in U.S. 2 months ago:
Still gonna skip this and hope for a 3DS-like price drop around the holidays. I’m really hoping Nintendo misses their sales targets big time because fuck these prices.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 hands-on reveals a proper generational upgrade, though its biggest new idea remains unproven 2 months ago:
So basically $450+ to play Nintendo IP games at a current-gen caliber level.
This pricing just sucks. Unless you’re a Mario Kart or DK fanboy, you’re probably better off with PS5 or XSX.
- Comment on How Ubisoft spent $2.1M on influencers to secure the launch of Assassin's Creed Shadows 2 months ago:
For real. EA spent north of $10M on streamer sponsorships for the Apex Legends launch and that was like 7 years ago.
- Comment on Witchbrook - First Look Trailer 2 months ago:
…and will be forever
- Comment on Since today is March 24, I'll be watching this classic for the first time (the movie takes place on this day in 1984). 2 months ago:
This is the best Saturday morning/day movie ever.
That says, there’s no bad time to watch this movie.
- Comment on Disney will be releasing "TOMBSTONE" on 4K Ultra HD on April 22. 2 months ago:
That’s a great looking steelbook.
- Comment on Day 243 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing until l forget to post Screenshots 2 months ago:
The newly added Firefight Classic is a good time as well.
- Comment on First images from "Mortal Kombat II" 2 months ago:
Hell yeah. The first one was a great popcorn flick. I’m psyched for Johnny Cage and another round of R-rated fun.
- Comment on "The Day The Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie" will reportedly be pulled from theaters this Wednesday 2 months ago:
I literally did not even know this movie was in theaters yet.
- Comment on What’s a movie nobody can convince you is good? 3 months ago:
This movie introduced me to the majesty that is Die Antwoord, and that alone made it worthwhile.
- Comment on What’s a movie nobody can convince you is good? 3 months ago:
LOL no over ever tries to claim this movie is actually good
- Comment on Sony launches new version of the best cheap 4K Blu-ray player that drops the streaming tech – but the price looks odd 3 months ago:
I’d imagine they mean features like HDMI CEC, input-based picture mode memory/adjustment, support for high-quality audio (like Atmos), etc.
- Comment on 'BRZRKR' - Justin Lin directing ultra violent Keanu Reeves comic book movie 3 months ago:
A Netflix movie though? Ugh.
- Comment on Paramount Posts $286M Fourth Quarter Streaming Loss, Gains 5.6M Subs 3 months ago:
Competition is good, but Paramount doesn’t have enough content to actually compete. I’m honestly shocked that they’ve kept their service running this long. I’m not going to subscribe to a dozen different platforms, and Paramount is never going to make the cut.
- Comment on Tony Hawk's™ Pro Skater™ 3 + 4 | Reveal Trailer 3 months ago:
Also included with Game Pass.
- Comment on Turok - Next-Gen Update 3 months ago:
What in the world even is this?? Was there ever a prior release on the last gen??
Also, pretty sure XSX/PS5 isn’t “next gen” anymore. They’re solidly current gen, and getting a little long in the tooth.
