That would have been another good one.

Believe it or not, no. I finally caught up watching the Criterion 4K version of Sorcerer and kept thinking about how easy it would be to turn it into a game. Apparently somebody else was on the exact same wavelength. That's some great timing. This game looks cool.

Sometimes I wish that The Warriors game would have been more successful, prompting Rockstar to make more games based on cult classic from the 1970s and 80s. It would have been cool to see them tackle something like Sorcerer or Repo Man.

Three walks in a row in a playoff game? That's certainly a strategy.

We earned that first win. The Blue Jays have just fallen apart in this game. And the next three games (if needed) are in Seattle. Gotta love that!

Between New Line moving the movie to summer 2026 and already eyeing a third film, they must think that they have something big with Mortal Kombat II. Perhaps those test screenings were more positive than New Line expected.

Of course the final game of the Seattle vs. Detroit series went 15 innings. Nothing is ever that simple when it comes to Seattle. I feel bad for the people in Detroit who stayed up until 1am waiting to see how the game would turn out.

This just feels inevitable. I get they don't want to say or do anything until after 2026, since they are hoping GTA6 and Forza Horizon 6 will move a few more consoles, but the writing is on the wall.

Die Hard Game Fan had the best layout and was always easy to read.

You aren't missing much. That 90s Show is not great. There are far better shows/comedies worth your time.

Oh yeah, they made an example out of Danny. Not that he didn't deserve it, but I too was surprised by the sentence. My guess is that he's not on Trump's radar. Aside from a 30-year-old sitcom, he isn't really known for much. His career peaked in the 90s.

After so many black and grey boxes, I like that Retro-Bit has started to add color with their latest releases.

I of course meant Night Tapes. Auto correct screwed me again. It was an absolutely spectacular show. They are making their way across the U.S. now, so check them out if they come to a theater near you.
