I invented the scroll lock key, directed the hit film Princess Mononoke and played Scotty in the original Star Trek.
I'm also one of them there streamists! https://www.twitch.tv/alastairft
Read my ""web" "comic"": https://maryelestia.webcomic.ws/
Me, a few years ago: 'I'm going to write a mecha vs kaiju story!'
Me, now: 'Anyway here's the details of the alien ancestor worshipper's cannibalistic funeral ceremony'

Very worried hearing that Prime 4 has a comic relief sidekick that apparently just tells you when you've missed pick-ups. My hope is that that character's role in the game has been overblown and that he goes off to gather dust somewhere after not too long.

Even by these standards, I REALLY don't get Kirby Air Riders. Everyone's hyped as fuck for this Mario Kart clone...
Kirby conceptually really missed me, I don't get it at all. Every time I see or play one it's like, 'ah, it's less good Mario'

Regarding my earlier statement that 'the government is unquestionably good and has never done anything wrong'...

When a major story beat in Ghost of Yotei was labeled "The Cost of Revenge," I felt relief because I am glad a Playstation game is finally covering this topic. I hope we can get some answers re: revenge, and whether it is a bad thing, and maybe even causes a cycle of violence

What was the last game that had really iconic sound effects (not including legacy series like Mario or Sonic or what have you)? I feel like memorable, over-the-top sound effects went away as everything embraced realism and it goes without saying that the late 90's were the peak.

Christopher Nolan's singular dedication to making The Odyssey’s costumes look as rubbery and bland as possible is stunning.
He wants to make sure you see EVERY corner they cut in the costuming department, else he wouldn’t have shot the entire thing in IMAX.

I mangled one of my fingers climbing, but it is a worthy sacrifice to learn real world skills.

There's nothing I can't do now (except bend this one finger).

Add in 'end of line' and this is the shit the women in the pools in Cylon Basestars say

"skin as part of brain?"

This is that great intellect people talk about?

I'm sceptical about Steam Machine and Steam Controller 2.0 catching on; they were both thoroughly DOA the first time around... but IF they take off, I think Valve could legitimately replace Microsoft in the console space, just like how Xbox swooped in as soon as Sega called it quits on consoles.

Few people huff copium harder than the ones that try to convince themselves that non-metalic metal looks bad, actually.
'Ooh the light doesn't make sense when you turn the model' no you just imagine that the light source is turning WITH the model you dolt.

I'm not going to bang on for ages about the Mario Galaxy movie, it's just boilerplate babysitting fodder after all, BUT, it was really weird that half the trailer was dedicated to a single skit and didn't remotely try to explain the premise of the movie.

Of course it'll make a ton of money but, is anyone really that fussed about Toy Story 5? Is anyone going 'YES! They made another one! And this one's about ipads!'

Feels like The Outer Worlds 2 hasn't made much of an impact; I didn't hear anyone talk about it.
Honestly making a Fallout: New Vegas successor with strictly no mod support is just nuts.

'Maybe the real Frankenstein was the creatures we made along the way' *credits, Down with the Sickness plays*
Initial reaction, not sure I liked the Del Toro Frankenstein very much. The creature wasn't enough of an asshole which, people forget, as empathetic as we're meant to be to his circumstances, IS an integral part of the character as portrayed in the book.

There's not much nice to say about the Jurassic World movies, but you know what? I don't get all the hate for the Jimmy Fallon cameo. Like, it's a shitty theme park entry video, it makes perfect sense that they'd get a shitty celebrity to do a shitty skit.

Whenever there's a fourth entry in a series with 'war' in the title it's always profoundly disappointing when they don't replace the word with the number.
Gears of Four
God of Four
Dawn of Four
All missed opportunities.
