Re: “Was that Martin Freeman as the voice of the unseen director? It sounded like him, but I couldn’t be sure.” - No, it was Brooker himself.
I thought this awful, sadly, I used to love Brooker’s annual wipes, and this year’s Antiviral Wipe back in May was great, but here the satire was muted and mild and almost… Read more
You and I have similar taste in comics, friend
You proved yourself a coward Read more
I, um, just beat Alduin in Skyrim. Anyone? Skyrim?
I’ve been slowly making my way through the Kingdom Hearts series as well, and I just started KH3. So far it seems like the best combination of mechanics from Dream Drop Distance and KH2, with a fresh coat of graphical paint, but I can see getting tired of it if I play too much in one go. (I’m already kind of tired of… Read more
I’ve been loving the game. It’s unarguably a bit repetitive but the gameplay and environments are great. I’m really not sure how a true “lock-on” could work. There is a focus, where the camera will align and put an icon on your target if it’s in your field of view, but a true lock on, where the camera stays centered… Read more
I had the exact same thought. If Man Eater was $20, I would have bought it release day but for $40, with the buggy controls, I can’t justify it. Will wait for it to go on sale.
In one of those gaming moods where I want to start something but I won’t actually know what it is until I find it, which means a lot of flailing around and buying new games that I don’t end up playing for years. Read more
Same here, I like the idea of Maneater, but there’s nothing about it that doesn’t scream “wait for a sale,” especially as huge as my backlog is. I think $25 is my sweet spot.
I agree with a lot of what you say in the second paragraph. Read more
The game even borrows a nerve-wracking suspense device from 2005’s series-reinventing, action-heavy Resident Evil 4: a sequence where you’re forced to defend a hospital room from approaching enemies, who keep crashing through the windows in waves. (Can a full remake of that classic be far off?) Read more
And you can also head over to his Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/zhandlen/ and read weekly Voyager recaps (just getting into S2) if you’re so inclined and want to throw a little cash his way.
Also, maybe this is obvious, but the part where they yell at Summer at the end for “ruining” the premiere seems like commentary on the people that claimed that the new woman writers and /or Summer’s occasionally bigger role “ruined” season 3 or whatever.
This was the first episode directed by Erica Hayes. (Also the first episode directed by a woman.) She storyboarded many of the best episodes of the prior three seasons.
Like several others, I need to chime in and say playing Silent Hill 2 is a wonderful decision. It’s in my top 3 games of all time with Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy 6. I certainly don’t want to manage your expectations for what to expect by making subtle references to what you have to look forward to, so I’ll just… Read more
