I "oof"ed, and then registered to pre-order. lol.

Dead Space 3 is to Dead Space what Aliens is to Alien (imo). Totally different experience, but an absolute blast to play.

The turn to camera at 30 seconds was hilarious.

I really enjoyed DS3. You could craft some absolutely nuts weapons that were really fun. I highly recommend playing it coop with a buddy.

It's extremely frustrating to me that the rule is not "New PM = immediate General Election". It feels deeply wrong that we will have had 3 Prime Ministerships (if not 3 different PMs) with no say from the general public.

The fact that we need a disambiguation is, in itself, telling. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_United_Kingdom_government_crisis

Well...

Ah, didn't read that at the time. I tend to differentiate between leaks and hacks, but accept that it's not an industry standard.

It's a real shame, I think driven by (i) Arrogance that you think you know better than the PR/marketing teams that have worked on the release plan; and/or (ii) A desire to get acknowledgement from people you don't know. Seen similar in CoD, someone leaking info because "we weren't sharing enough info with the community" or something like that. Like, maybe you do know better, but that's not the way things work. You plan and execute as a team, or the whole thing falls apart.

The irony of calling this movie a "live action remake" is palpable.

Love that Destiny has become so convoluted that it's tough to tell how much of the game you currently have access to.

BRB, creating a controller company called "Fight or Flight"...

Oh yeah, that reminds me... saw this a while back and it's amazing... I'm definitely getting a new watch next bonus paycheck. lol. https://ciechanow.ski/mechanical-watch/

I loved the bait and switch with Totally had me in the first half as I wondered why the Predator would even do that.

In the UK the Predator is a Disney Princess for those wondering.

Phase Wong babayyyy. https://www.slashfilm.com/799490/benedict-wong-says-we-have-entered-phase-wong-of-the-marvel-cinematic-universe/

The only actor I can think of off the top of my head who doesn't look like himself (if you get what I mean) from film to film is Gary Oldman. Guy is a freakin' chameleon.

"A Ubisoft Original"? Surely it should be "An Ubisoft Original", but also, that's hilariously pretentious.

Gaiman's adaptations have generally been spot on. Neverwhere, Coraline, and Good Omens were all great.

I know where you are coming from @TheMightyEthan. After bouncing off Returnal, I think difficult bullet-hell games are just Not For Me, even if they are otherwise excellent in terms of lore, art-style, best of their genre, etc.

There was a I really enjoyed Dr Strange II. Especially when Disney nipped down the shops and Raimi went full Raimi while their backs were turned.

Yikes.

I'm not keen on the concept of RPG Assassin's Creed personally. Wish they would go back to it being an action game.

Pretty sure that counts as "beat". You got the final boss. Asking players to do it 10 times is a bit excessive. Like suggesting that Elden ring isn't "beat" until you have seen every permutation of NPC sidequests. I liked the way managed progression in it personally, being able to smash through areas and bosses that used to be a challenge now that you are tankier, hit harder, etc. felt great to me, but I can understand how it felt filler-ish.
