The Boredom of Chris

Chris Aiken. Write about games/comic books (or at least try to) - Written for Black Nerd Problems, Techradar. Often bored. Almost funny. Always sarcastic.
My big hot take about The Game Awards is that it should take place in Jan/Feb instead of December.
My other big problem with the show is that the winners are chosen by online votes. Not only can that be manipulated but you should have a panel of trusted experts picking winners.

This is part of the problem with this era of fighting games. It really does feel like it’s in such a box. Especially 3D fighters. We have Tekken, Virtual Fighter, and what else? There used to be so much variety in art, concept, and gameplay.
So are we ready to have a conversation about how the modern FGC have become AAA-Sony graphics guys but for some reason get away with it? Like a game has to either be a Capcom looking game or Arc sys stylized one and anything that isn’t that gets clowned on regardless how well it plays

So I started playing Sonic X Shadow Generations because my son insisted I get it and wow, this game is really good. Like, the Shadow levels and the hub world feel like the perfect evolution of Frontier’s gameplay.

Also, may this woman never make another appearance in an MCU film again. What a terrible character and actor.

Rewatching Captain America: Brave New World and as much as I’m a fan of Harrison Ford, losing William Hurt sucks.
I don’t think people realize how much he owned that role and how much better his version of Ross would’ve been in this movie.

Thinking about the touchpad on the DualSense/Dualshock and how it’s wasted as a PlayStation controller feature.
Imagine if the Switch Pro Controller had it instead? It would be the second coming of DS/3DS styled games.

Finished South of Midnight. I enjoyed it. Story & world are great. Some of the gameplay/platforming feels very early 00’s era action adventure. In some aspects it feels lacking but the simplicity can be comforting to just have fun with. I hope Compulsion gets to build on it.

saying that games were $100 in the 90s isn’t a reason to justify prices steadily rising in 2025, especially when our salaries aren’t rising as well
Gaming shouldn’t be an elitist hobby
I’ll argue value for consumers every time

Comic Book Movie Posters are one of the big draws for any movie. However, we are at a point where the repeating formula of these posters is just boring.
