Mr. GOH!

Mal completed his gift of dystopic cyberpunk games with a surprise final gift of Thank you and happy New Year!

This is so tough! Of the games I have completed, Disco Elysium, Control, and Fire Emblem: 3 Houses are tied as my personal GOTY. But Sekiro seems really cool from the small parts I've played and Outer Wilds is just a triumph of game design and exploration. So I guess those are my five Games of 2019.

The Irishman: I didn't love it, but it is a good movie though it is very long. Might be Scorcese's bleakest movie. The Two Popes: I didn't expect to like it, but it's a great, focused movie about imagined dialogues between the current pope and the previous pope. Parasite: Best movie of this year. A must-see. The Lighthouse: One of my favorite movies of 2019 because there is very little that is funnier than Willem Defoe believably channeling the Sea Captain Simpsons character for two hours. Simply amazing.

Rise of Skywalker is really bad and Kathleen Kennedy should be fired for how badly she fucked up the sequel trilogy, particularly for the stupid overreaction to the loud moron brigade that hated on TLJ. TLJ forever.

You're the best, Mal!!!!!

Steam ID and wishlist: http://steamcommunit...61197969619762/ Been feeling the smaller indies since I don't have as much time these days.

His Dark Materials is fine, just like the book. I am not a fan of Lin-Manuel as Scoresby, though. He just seems like Lin-Manuel goofing around. But I can't believe nobody's in here talking about Watchmen, which is so very good.

The Mandalorian is way better than I expected. I would kill and die for the Child.

I'll do it too!

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Didn't 100% it, but got close. Really enjoyed it as a Souls-lite with Uncharted and latter-day Tomb Raider tendencies. I also enjoyed the narrative and the voice performances. It performed reasonably well. I had no crashes or game- breaking bugs. It's an Unreal engine game (no Frostbite!!!), so there's texture pop-in at times. It's usually good, but I experienced a couple of really bad environment texture pop-ups and one utter failure to load any environment te tectures in a particular random area. But the game looks good and is very very Star Wars in mostly very good ways. I get the sense there are lots of references to lore created in the Clone Wars and Rebels cartoons. It's been a great week for Star Wars with this and the Mandalorian releasing.

I'll be getting the PS4 version because I am impatient and it seems like a game I don't want to miss.

Outer Worlds, Death Stranding, and Jedi: Fallen Order. Really enjoying Outer Worlds as a polished and limited scope New Vegas spiritual successor.

@TheMightyEthan Indeed! because each has been better than the last.
