Commercial Editor. I never know what to put in these things. Plays games, reads comics, listens to music made when most of you weren't born...typical old nerd bullshit.
It's legitimately insane that Nintendo ever tried to give the job to ANYONE else, but...Prime 4 is Retro proving that not only do they still got the sauce, but haven't lost a single fucking step in the 18 years since Prime 3 and have only gotten better at making these.
GOTY, without question.

When Absolum is firing on all cylinders, it's one of the most exhilarating beat-em-ups I've ever played.
When it's not, which is a little too often, it feels like it's fucking you over on purpose and makes me want to throw a controller across the room.

Alien: Earth is easily the best thing in the series since Aliens and exactly the kind of wacko, bonkers shit I want from the franchise.
More batshit originality, less shameless callback jerkoff (*cough*Rolumus*cough*).

@jamesgunn.bsky.social Could I interest you in my meager collection of cheap collectibles and various knick-knacks in exchange for a Black Canary or Birds of Prey show, if you're not above bribery?

People ruined 100 years of growth, development, and technique in filmmaking and videography because they're too lazy to turn their goddamn phone 90 degrees.

So...uh, Destiny Rising is real good, huh?
A "mobile" version of Destiny from NetEase being more fun and exciting that what current actual Destiny has been doing certainly wasn't on my bingo card.

Every few seasons I check in on where Overwatch is at, and every single time I'm reminded that I fucking hate what it's turned into.

The wing place fucked up and gave me bone-in instead of boneless and it reminded me that I have never, not once in my life, had a good bone-in chicken wing. Not once.
1/3rd bone.
1/3rd nasty fat and gristle.
1/3rd edible meat.
Boneless, forever and always.

So, this weeks ep of Daredevil was one of the ones clearly shot before the show was retooled, right?
It had a lighter, network-tv tone (minus he f-bombs) that doesn't fit with the previous eps, and the pacing was weirdly off. Not that it was bad, it's was just so obviously a different show.
