I think the main reason why Return to Silent Hill is so bad is because Roger Avary wasn't involved. Christophe Gans IS a talented director but trying to tackle this screenplay solo when the previous one was written by the co-writer of Pulp Fiction almost doomed the movie from the start.

RE9 gameplay looks incredible. Everything is emergent. If Leon uses a chainsaw to take out an enemy it stays in play; leaving other enemies to pick it up and use it as well. Kicks send zombies tumbling into one another like bowling pins. Lots of variance in moment to moment situations.

I think about the game Mouthwashing all the time - its fandom, its form, the ways it is subtly singular even in the indie horror boom of the 2020s. It feels like a great injustice, rhetorically, that we discuss that game as being *about* sexual violence when, to me, it is about something far messier

I’m cracking up over the review from this guy who thought “One Battle After Another” was going to be an action movie

Just finished up Chapter 3 and its accompanying 'Placebo' chapter in the Silver Case and I'm just... man. Suda really does not miss. Crazy that he was 31 when he made this game. Definitely something to keep in the back of your mind.

Man, The Silver Case really has the fucking sauce. I basically have no idea whats going on, but the presentation is phenomenal. Its crazy to see how much it has in common with Killer 7. Playing this in 1999 must have been incredible.

'Warhammer' maker Games Workshop has banned the use of AI in its content production and its design process
• A small number of senior managers have experimented with GenAI tools — none are that excited about the technology
• The company plans to hire more human creatives

What is the end game here? For who and what purpose does this serve? What do these companies see in generative AI that is making them raze everything to the ground? It can't do anything of value and is making everything demonstrably worse at an alarming rate.
Update: Meta has shut down three game studios and laid off all employees.
-Armature, the devs behind the VR port of Resident Evil 4
-Twisted Pixel, the studio that made Deadpool VR
-Sanzaru, which developed Asgard's Wrath 1 and 2.

I've got to get back into tracking down and watching weird ass Japanese movies like I used to in college. I've been meaning to watch this forever, I just need to plunk down the money for the Blu-Ray or a subscription to a service I might not use all that much, lmao.

Real cool how there are maybe four video games left until we have to contend with AI being in everything. The slopularity.
