I started watching the director’s cut of Kingdom of Heaven before we started bombing Iran, and watching this film at this exact moment in time is insane. Aside: the director’s cut is a masterpiece.
Some of the art and animation feels awkward and gives me that pit of despair feeling that maybe some of this was made with gen-AI. Just a hunch.
God of War: Sons of Sparta early impressions: it’s a serviceable metroidvania that will likely only appeal to God of War fans. I suspect it was shadow dropped because they felt it couldn’t sustain any hype.
I watched The Holdovers (2023) instead of the Super Bowl, and it was an exquisite experience that touched the depths of my soul.
It’s crazy how, every year of my adulthood, both the relevance of Citizen Kane and my estimation of it have gone up.
I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.
But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.
On her livestream tonight, #IL09 candidate Kat Abughazaleh teased what appears to be a new 60-second-long campaign ad
Video game water in Dragon Quest V for PS2
Band name: Video Game Water
Ohhh I read it as Roman Numerals so strongly I couldn’t even see the M. 😂
What the heck is going on with that IVI styling in that poster? Never seen that before.
I first discovered outside smell when we painted our house as a kid and I had to leave my window open after never having it open to that point.
We’re living in an American reign of terror and the media is committed to hiding it, because it’s much more comfortable pretending it’s just 2015 forever.
If only the normal big brands won their games, right? 🤨
Me naming the hero in the Dragon Quest VII remake demo tonight. #DragonQuestVII youtu.be/2u9fBnFCTB0
When you immerse yourself in the 90s you realize everything was better. 🫤
I went back and looked at what shows were on alongside The X-Files, and there is a whole world of adult shows that just weren’t on my radar. What the hell is Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman?
I started watching The X-Files, which has been on my backlog ever since I was a kid and I thought “I’ll probably enjoy that when I am older”. Love it so far.
My joke prediction for the Stranger Things finale is 11 will die of old age and natural causes. #StrangerThings
I knowwww
Feeling what Carol is feeling is impossible without the pacing. It is sad that (some) people can’t put their phone down for 45 minutes and feel real things.
Seconded. I’m convinced anyone who doesn’t enjoy the pacing isn’t thinking enough. There are a lot of THOUGHTS I’m having while watching that need BREATHING ROOM.
Chekhov’s atom bomb. #Pluribus
Top five games of 2025:
1. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
2. Trails in the Sky: 1st Chapter
3. Blue Prince
4. Donkey Kong Bananza
5. Mario Kart World
I didn’t play a lot of games from this year, so my list may have been different if I did.
Just watched S1 E8 of #Pluribus. Sorry but this show is working on a whole different level than any other show.
Square should rightly be embarrassed that an indie studio from France made a better Final Fantasy game than they have for 20-ish years. Game of the year. #GameAwards
tweet reading: GAME TRAILER: “Enter a world beyond belief...” ME: “Yes” GAME TRAILER: “An adventure like never before...” ME: “YES” GAME TRAILER: “Join your friends online” ME: “I’m out”
i stand by this statement every year
It might be telling that my favorite releases this year are:
• Clair Obscure: Expedition 33
• Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
• Trails in the Sky: First Chapter Remake
All of these are relentlessly old school. Maybe this is what being old is like.
This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥
I got my Analogue 3D set up with my top 69 N64 games (nice), and spent part of the day dipping into many of them. Very enjoyable. #Analogue3D #N64
