One of us has to win the lottery then fund, at a loss, the localization of rest of the series. We'll contract with Durante's company for PC ports then hire all those who were lost or those who would contribute to the cause... I wish. Seriously though, while parent of NISA, NIS going under shouldn't affect NISA too much. As far as I am aware, they are pretty separate entities as far as finances goes. Or maybe I'll be eating a bag of dicks when everything blows up. Hey Falcom, can you become a shit company so I can finally not care anymore?

John Wick 3 While it has its odd moments, it somehow topped 2. Halle Berry (as Sofia) action parts was pretty damn great in that she held her own (she brought in her own moves!) and having the dynamic of John and Sofia working together is great (you can sometimes see the other fighting in the background). Plus she has her dogs. While not entirely... convinced (what does that even mean) of Keanu fighting hand-to-hand but I think it works. If he dedicate himself, I can see him being pretty damn good even in his 50's. Besides, he fought Yayan Ruhian and Cecep Arif Rahhman, these guys, who finally, FINALLY, has an awesome action role in a major Western film. It's so awesome to see him not being wasted like in Star Wars (seriously, what a waste!). So yeah, 3/3 for John Wick.

YES, I LOVE THESE GUYS. BEING METAL AND HAVING FUN.

... Now that I think about it, is there such a thing as Gorkha metal? Anyhow, I really should look into Indian metal. India has been pretty metal.

Probably want to get something into the Supreme Court to challenge Roe v. Wade with the current and possible future people on the bench. School year is almost over so I guess we all can just slack off on the thoughts and prayers... just for the summer. But please don't stop, we got other places that it could happen to! People in churches, synagogues, mosques, temples or other places of worship got to pray extra hard.

VA-11 HALL-A Oh hi, honey! First off let's say that the writing is tight in that each characters in many ways have their own voice. You can practically hear the characters speak. Secondly, while the gameplay is very simple, the game keeps you on your toes with understanding the dialog and reading between the lines. Almost like you are a bartender... There's also a basic money management going on... aka don't buy frivolous shit. Hell, it's probably possible to play the game without buying anything and it probably will be considered Hard mode since Jill's mind will be distracted while making drinks so no hints. It shouldn't be a problem if you at least remember the order/requests or what people likes. I think the only bad thing I have to say is that the ending I got came on rather suddenly and it came with a time jump. I wonder what would happen if I didn't fail to pay rent... but yeah, I have the other endings to get and with that, I think the game could use a "fast" mode or something. Lastly, while short, I consider this a real gem of a VN/game. I swear it might just help me with a personal issue as well (it's not that far off from Jill's... like my problem doesn't make sense but it does. Fear and shame... I got to apologize.). ANYHOW, I really, really look forward to N1RV Ann-A. Spoiling since some people might want to be surprised. Plus VA-11 HALL-A's story spoilers... ish?

Wow, even the general audience is pissed now. Never thought I would see it. The way I see it, David and Dan really did not Dany's descent stew long enough. Additionally, they are literally rushing to finish this. You can absolutely tell from the after-the-show interviews. They look completely lost and say idiotic things. HBO was even offering more seasons! With that said...

The thing about this episode is that it could've been great. It's just they never walked each character's narrative to this point. What happened was more like those ballista/scorpion bolts in the last episode. Fire hard and fast so it bust through EVERYTHING. Now when we get to the current episode, let those bolts slow to a crawl and be completely ineffective.

CLEGENE BOWL

I should probably beat FFXII but Vann and Penelo really shouldn't have been there as main protagonists. It brought the game down and I kind of stopped playing. I guess I was also stuck on Gilgamesh. I for sure didn't miss much but it explained some of the earlier interactions. And I heard of 2064: ROM. It should tied me over until N1RV Ann-A... whenever that comes out. Most of the devs are Venezuelan and life isn't that stable over there. Worse case is that the country eventually goes to hell... and well. Hopefully they have their own VA-11 Hall-A to go lay low in.

I think my only "gripe" was that it wasn't clear that you should probably play the Prologue and Demo first. I got to chapter two on the main game and I am heading back to do those. It should make some of the client interactions make more sense. So far I am just taking that Jill know these people before hand at face value but knowing that the prologue and demo may go over what happened the week before is kind of annoying. Corgis in business suits making a mess in the restrooms... and someone who believed that she was a llama or something? Anyhow, on an unrelated note. it's nice to play a game (more like a VN) where you're not a kid or teen. It hits a spot that has been rarely been hit.

VA-11 HALL-A is amazing. That is all.

For the Switch. I've been waiting for this for a while! I heard good things but I always thought it would be perfect for the Switch, so I'll be finding out soon enough. I swear, if this game starts up and doesn't have something like this, I'll be mad!

Fan-made video with this song showing almost all the movies.

If you haven't gone and done Bitterblack Isle then YOU MUST DO IT. It condenses all the good parts of the mainline quest into a pretty meaty add-on. It can be quite hard but it's so good. DD:DA is one of my favorites and I am indeed one of those who so wants a proper sequel. Hideaki Itsuno (and fans) got Devil May Cry V. It's time for Hideaki Itsuno (and fans) to get Dragon's Dogma 2 and realize his original vision for Dragon's Dogma. One can only hope for a sequel if for some odd reason, we are getting a Netflix anime...

SLI? Crossfire? I bought into the theory years ago but not anymore. Nobody in PC gaming should be doing SLI or any duel card configuration. Practically no one supports it in any meaningful fashion, especially now.

Damn this show to the seven hells And yes, indications (1/3 remaining episodes) are that the spoilers are real.

Seems like the remaining episodes spoilers are out in the wild and they suck. Got to see if it all play out as spoiled...

Newer Sabaton songs take a while for me to warm up to. I came to love Heroes but have yet to for any The Last Stand songs. Anyhow, I have a feeling we might get some pretty damn good slower songs from Sabaton's next album if it means to capture the WWI feeling.
