Another movie from The Unwritten List finally watched for the first time: Dogma. It's a good film, but I'm kind of angry that Alan Rickman wasn't in every single scene, because he's the best thing in it by about a thousand percent.

I feel like you've validated my reluctance to play that game despite being a massive Life is Strange fan.

Having Polanski hold hands with someone alleged by multiple people to have said bigoted things about Jewish people is certainly A Choice.

That would've worked, and would've been more interesting done right. And hey, I'm not going to spend energy defending the story; by the time you finish, a major plot point becomes incredibly confused and self-contradicting.

This is not only incredibly weak, its false equivalence between Farage and Polanski is dangerous. One of them is a threat to liberal democracy, the other one is not. The text is a prime example of how radical centrism and the profound arrogance of self-declared liberals legitimize the far right

There are story beats that emphasise this as Leon's journey, but it wouldn't have taken too much work to drop Jill in there instead.

Well the system's backfired, considering there's a glitch which allows deluxe edition owners to max out the pass in about ten minutes by constantly restarting the game (assuming they haven't patched it already).

Wow interesting! you can find out more here

Call of Duty co-founder claims Activision put "very awkward pressure" on Infinity Ward to make a game about Iran invading Israel Former Infinity Ward developer Chance Glasco has claimed Activision had previously pressured Infinity Ward to feature a fictional invasion of Israel by Iran.

Wow, I'm sure glad this was a one-off and nothing like this actually made it into a Call of Duty game. Anyway, remember when Modern Warfare rewrote an American war crime as being committed by Russia? www.eurogamer.net/call-of-duty...

Crimson Desert impresses some RPG fans with its dialogue fast-forward feature, but leaves others questioning "why" it's even a thing: "TikTok has ruined this generation" "What is the point of playing a story title if you're not even invested?"

I would support this enthusiastically *if* it also included a rewind feature. www.gamesradar.com/games/open-w...

This is a remarkable, educational, and magically written book. I recommend it without hesitation.

"I don't even want to be here": Resident Evil Requiem's Leon actor was so unnerved performing next to the main villain he would "start giggling" "Tony is the one of two actors I've ever worked with that made me physically and mentally uncomfortable in the scenes"

I'm glad the Requiem actors are getting a bit of attention in the games press, because the acting and motion capture is actually really good, and I'm kind of surprised I haven't seen anybody talking about it. www.gamesradar.com/games/reside...

NHS official pushed to add patient data to Palantir platform whilst also advising company

A lobbyist who worked directly for Peter Mandelson, on the Palantir board, and on the board of *four* NHS trusts.

Lobbying the NHS to hand over even more patient data to Palantir.

This absolutely stinks. Get Palantir out of the NHS. Sign my petition:

Remember when Drake and his team of writers thought they could beat Kendrick Lamar in a public rap battle? It was like Smurfs Vs Predator.

Awesome!

Will you collate chapter two into a single pdf like you did with chapter one?

We went to the same restaurant tonight, and the guy who served us remembered me and my inability to finish the meal.

The IDF just ordered the *entirety of south Lebanon* to be forcibly displaced.

They are emptying the land of its population, creating a massive crisis, and will now proceed to further annihilate large parts of Lebanon.

The very nation state of Lebanon is being destroyed.

How many more live service games need to be strangled at birth before companies realise that releasing one as your debut is a really, really stupid idea?

That's Resi finished, a bit earlier than I was expecting. Very good, but a bit inconsistent.

Never did find out why there was a chainsaw in the hospital, either.

They should make games for normal people who don't want to make doing some multiplayer shoots a second job

It did make me laugh when I saw that Requiem was the name of The Big Gun, though.

Resident Evil Requiem gives you its best gun first, smartly making the urge to horde magnum bullets vital for the whole game Now Playing | Capcom is on target by asking you the loaded question – just when should you pull the trigger?

I can't get over how smart it is for Resident Evil Requiem to give you its best gun from the beginning.
