Late night watch: Ready or Not (2019). I went into it with no expectation, absolutely blind of the concept. This might be in my Top 5 horror films not because of how scary it is but how sincerely funny it is! Samara Weaving is an absolute dirty diamond. When the table flips, she has that gaze!

I have NOT followed Eric Bauza's portfolio or his work with the Looney Tunes. However, I played Rayman 3 and was surprised to find that he was the English voice of Count Razoff. A minor role, but it does hit my nostalgia cords just now. My thoughts to his family, friends and colleagues.

Aside from maybe a few weird moments of special effects, this film knows how to use its budget and tools. It's self-contained, and I was emotionally invested in Matt Hagen's descent. That climax with the editing should be a case study. Tom Rhys Harries gives one heck of a performance.

Gonna shape my opinion of it. ;-) #Clayface @jamesgunn.bsky.social

My one big criticism is that, like the character, it pivots in many genre directions. I don't think it's a bad idea considering who he is. Legit 7.5 or 8/10.

Sony is dumb and stupid.

'Sony reportedly exits UHD Blu-ray player market' www.flatpanelshd.com/news.php?sub... 'Sony Japan has discontinued its last remaining UHD Blu-ray player, UBP-X700/K, seemingly marking the company's exit.'

Anyway, this was three months ago and I don't think I've ever laughed this hard playing Monster Hunter Wilds. I wish I'd a microphone for this one. Holy crap! "Even I am not that dumb, Double D."

To all the folks at @supergiantgames.bsky.social and I do mean ALL (past, present, and future)... Thank you! As an old very wise wizard once said: "What we have to decide is what to do with the TIME that is given to us." It has been a privilege to play #HadesII. Now time to clean the house!

Too early for me to get anything based on the designs of Ravenous even though I love that one of them is a reminder of the suffering of Raven Beak by the hand of the Last Metroid.

NEW: Epic Games has delayed its upcoming (not yet announced) Star Wars + Marvel shooter as it pivots to complete AI game development. "No more hand-written code," a director told staff. All art "generated with full AI workflows." Full scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Remove Adam Malkovich from Other M and there's possibly a better story and game hidden all that crap. ALL of Other M's problems are because of Malkovich playing a larger role than even Samus. Plotholes, offhanded excuses and pointless sacrifice... Fuck this game.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

@airbagged.bsky.social That's one for the book. 27 years of N64 podracing eventually paid off. ;-)

Tried Galactic Racer thanks to my brother, spent four hours figuring out its system, eventually unlocked something related to the true King of Races. Spent another 30 minutes to get THAT gold medal for the Arcade mode of that track. Fun game, smart roguelite stuff.

Metroid 5: #MetroidDread became a reality five years ago. I spent 16 years believing it was a urban legend when it first appeared on a leak because of IGN. I was 16. Half of my life was spent in that bubble at the time. With Silksong and Hades, Dread impacted me the most in gaming this decade.

Glad to be featured among other enthusiasts in that post of the 5th anniversary of Metroid Dread.

Happy fifth anniversary to #MetroidDread! To celebrate this occasion, we prepared a new feature that includes comments from some of you, and one of Dread's developers! We hope you enjoy it. shinesparkers.net/feature-metr...

Bravo Paul Saint-Pierre-Plamondom. Bonne chance dans vos fonctions futures à l'Assemblée nationale. À vous de rebâtir la confiance envers nos institutions et le privilège de collaborer avec TOUS les Québécois.

Just saw Kent Jones' Late Fame. I believe this is a beautiful film as it reminds me of the importance of making our own critical thinking of our own personal experiences in art. Some shortcuts in the plot, but I stand with those who say that Willem Dafoe deserves the Oscar nod. He's natural in it.

Just watched with my mother the film I chose to write about for a series of assignments, evaluating her feelings and reactions. I think I marked her for life with Eastern Promises. I'm glad... oops.

Without showing the formal paper for privacy reasons, I can pretty much confirm that the efforts were worth it and your boy will soon be bach in art history. The journey is officially done... Yet another has already begun.

I'll be 38 in exactly six months and holy shit... Folks in Schaumberg saw at 35 during Combo Breaker and there's no fucking way this is normal.

Motivated by @deegee2009.bsky.social to comment about physical media or lack of for Metroid Dread. As products get discontinued and second-hand is a solution, it is sad to see people will pay a premium unless a re-release is confirmed before Ravenous. From urban legend to reality... to ́lost art.

Rare becoming a support studio for a publisher focused on the most generic breed of shooters after pioneering console shooters with GoldenEye and Perfect Dark in the 90's is a sad irony. Banjo-Kazooie: Guns & Bullets?

-Activision will expand its remit to World’s Edge, as well as Rare -Bethesda will expand its remit to include Obsidian -King will expand its remit to include Microsoft Casual Games -Playground and Turn 10 will come together as one studio focused on the Forza and Fable franchises

They were just done working on Possessor under Devolver. Heart Machine always had some sort of struggle since HLD which needed a partial overhaul to run at 60 fps, but you didn't remember. Really sad to see the potential evaporate, and I do hope the engineers and artists will be safe.
