I've had an EA boycott going on for years now but I saw this for like 8 bucks on clearance so what the hell.

Anyone who saw Deadpool might have seen this already. So this movie looks like a piece of shit, but there's been an ironic development. The movie is being directed by Brian Henson, Jim Henson's son. However, he is now being sued by the Sesame Workshop (formerly Children's Television Workshop) for the tagline "No Sesame, all street" that's in the trailer because they believe Jim Henson's son is tarnishing his father's legacy by drawing the association in an ad for such a filthy movie. Who saw that coming?

@TheMightyEthan So far every single Marvel movie has been rated PG-13, but that's still generally seen as family entertainment and tons of kids go to see them. Lots of kids see every one of these movies, and I feel like somebody at Disney might be worried about a controversy because Deadpool 3 turned out to be...well, Deadpool 3 and a bunch of clueless parents just saw it as another family Marvel movie and took their kids to see it. Even if they don't, you still end up with a Marvel movie kids can't watch, which means it would be harder to work him into any crossover movies because now he's this character kids weren't allowed to watch so you can't reference too much of his continuity or you'll alienate a huge portion of your audience.

My only problem with that is I'm afraid Disney would try to sanitize Deadpool into a family friendly PG-13 character if they did that, and what Fox has been doing with him so far is working pretty well already. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, you know?

Deadpool 2 God, this movie was hilarious. It's been a while since I've seen the first so I can't say for sure which one is funnier, but if this one is less funny than the previous one then it's not by much. There's a much better plot this time around, Josh Brolin as Cable has great chemistry with Deadpool, and there are a few surprises that the trailers were kind enough not to spoil. Make sure you stick around to see the mid-credits scene! It's one of the best parts! There's no stinger at the end though, so you can leave after that. I don't know what will become of this franchise after Disney buys Fox but I sure hope we get Deadpool 3.

Boom. Finally got a good Tetris game on the pc.

There's a fear mechanic? News to me. The Typhon aren't even scary.

I'm currently playing Prey and...I think I kind of hate it. I hate how easy it is to die from only a few hits. I hate how the screen gets dark every time there's an enemy nearby until I can barely see. I hate how slow the playable character moves. I hate the weapons. I hate the constant trial and error when it comes to the mimics. I am really trying to give this game a fair shake because I heard good things, but so far I am just not having much fun with it at all.

This is becoming depressingly routine now. We're starting to get used to it.

Now this looks neat. If it comes to PSVR I may just pick it up.

@FLD This game is on steam now?!

God that all sounds horrible. I really hope it doesn't go with the top-down perspective again. That's fine for a 3DS game but I really expect better from the Switch.

Diddy Kong Racing had a story in the same sense that Mario 64 had a story.

Far Cry 5 This is a game with two different ideologies that are at war with each other. On the one hand, it wants to give you the freedom to do missions in any order you want. You aren't railroaded along a certain path and you can choose how you want to progress. That's great. On the other hand, once you hit certain milestones the game suddenly stops whatever you're doing, even if you're in the middle of a side mission, and forces you to do an aggravating story mission to progress the plot. Why was this necessary? Why can't you just lock those missions until I hit the milestone, then I get to choose when I feel like doing them? How many times can this one dumbass deputy get himself captured?! A lot! I also can't stand that the playable character is a silent protagonist. The villains yammer on and on at you, and you're forced to just sit there and take it because the deputy never speaks. Why? Because it's a create-a-character. Why did the game even need this? It's a first person view! You don't see your character's face! This was a really stupid decision to sacrifice having an actual character in favor of customization. Finally there's the endings. Good god. You know, Far Cry would be a much better series if it didn't always insist on crawling so far up its own ass with these bullshit endings. Do they think they're being deep or clever? Too clever by half, maybe. Is the intention of Far Cry endings to make me feel utter vexation? Well congratulations, I guess. You accomplished your goal because your story fucking sucks. At least the gameplay is good outside of it. Is it way better than Far Cry 4, though? I'm not so sure. There are definitely improvements in place, but I don't know if it's 60 bucks of improvements. I might recommend waiting for a complete edition once all the DLC is out. That would be worth 60 bucks.

Should have done this right from the beginning, Tony!

I have to wonder something now that I've had some time to process Infinity War and the franchise as a whole.

So why does Black Widow have blonde hair now? Did I forget something?

Avengers: Infinity War Yeah, as it's been said before, it doesn't work as a standalone film, but it was never meant to be one. If you haven't figured that out by now then you should just stop going to comic book movies entirely. As the culmination of ten years of setup, however, it succeeds spectacularly. While there are other films in the MCU that have stronger writing or characterization or dialogue, this one is still pretty strong, and in my opinion it has some of the best action set pieces in the entirety of the franchise. You don't go to see the Avengers films because you expect them to be deep with something meaningful to say. You go to Avengers films for balls to the wall action, and this film definitely delivers on that front.

Easily, and I liked Horizon quite a bit.
