Some of the best games are games that no one asked for.

“stop depicting blobfish like this, and blobfish isn’t what it’s called”
That specific one, as depicted, is blobfish. Blobfish is not a species, it’s an individual. Like Greenboots.

I think a length of wire is more about being a vague measurement and to distinguish it from a wire coil, which is a separately useful thing in electronics.
Calling things a length isn’t indicative of being short. Terms like a length of rope and length of wire are fairly normal ways to talk about things without a strict measurement.

Yea. I’m sure they will be humbled like the people of North Korea, who think their supernatural leader invented hamburgers and the electric guitar.

- Comment on [Discussion] Did Kingsman II failed as a sequel? 1 month ago:
I really enjoyed the second and third films, but I understand they didn’t perform as well.
I’ve heard there was scheduling conflicts with Channing Tatum which explains some of the disjointed character arcs. I guess they’d already advertised Tatum before the conflicts, so they tried to keep him in while replacing his characters story beats with Pedro Pascal.
I was really looking forward to a long running franchise that wasn’t afraid to go full tilt James Bond parody with over the top action.
- Comment on Co-op campaigns are a rarity these days, and that should change 1 month ago:
And from memory, the number of enemies scales with the number of players. It’s gets pretty hectic pretty fast.
- Comment on Co-op campaigns are a rarity these days, and that should change 1 month ago:
There’s heaps of mods for classic games to turn them into co-op, including Doom (3), half life, quake, aliens vs predator, etc.
- Comment on Is there a better sequel than Terminator 2? 2 months ago:
I think Dead Reckoning is a good, and poignant, concept, but I think it suffers from weak writing.
It suffered a bit from the same issue as the video game Uncharted 3, where they wrote the action set pieces first, then wrote the story to fit them together. I’m not sure if that’s what happened in the writing of Dead Reckoning, but that’s how it felt.
Overall I still liked it, and look forward to the next one, but it isn’t as strong as the previous 3 films.

I liked MI2 better than MI:III
it’s been a while since I’ve seen them, so I can’t really remember why.

This is framed like 80 generations is a small number, but that’s huge. Culture and civilization moves so quickly that even 3 generations ago life is barely recognisable. I can’t even imagine what life was like 40 generations ago.

Flashback
I played it on the SNES. It’s a sci-fi platformer that I felt shared themes with movies like Total Recall, They Live, Blade Runner, Running Man.
You start as Conrad, who has crash landed on Titan, being chased by mysterious bad guys, and with no memory of why. All you have is a gun, and a video recording of yourself telling you where to go for the next clue.
- Comment on Alien: Romulus sequel will show things that have never been seen in the franchise before 2 months ago:
There was actually a good Alien novel saga that explored a mysterious reappearance of Ellen Ripley that turned out to be an android recreation of the real Ripley. I can’t remember if it was set before or after Alien Resurrection

Please quit with this tax write off misinformation.
They cut their losses. We don’t know the details why, but for some reason they decided it would cost too much in money or reputation to continue with marketing and release.
Not everything is a billionaire conspiracy. Sometimes they just realise they made a film too shit to release, or some person in a suit just wanted to spite someone.

- Comment on Half-Life 2 is currently 100% for its 20th anniversary 4 months ago:
If you start with the second one you won’t know what’s going on and feel like you’ve missed a bunch of important story.
This is how it felt after playing the first one as well. Half Life 2 is almost an unrelated game. The plots of the two barely line up.

What do mean regarding terrible names? “Moth” isn’t inherently a bad name; any negative connotations of the word come from the creature itself.
