It’s a shame that it’s only when they get caught. There’s no excuse for driving drunk.

That was a great show

Say hi to your mother

I liked The Happening.

Whether it was intentional or not, there’s a really interesting metaphor for the 24/7 news cycle, the need to blame something, and the state of the world. There’s so much in there to think about but most of the audience just thought “plants make people kill themselves? That’s too silly”. In my mind it isn’t the plants; no one knows, but the need to get the first headline, or feel in control is so great that people get frantic, panicky, and dangerous.

I miss GameFAQs text pages. Now it’s YouTube videos stretched out to 10 minutes to explain 30 seconds worth of info.

I suppose it didn’t help that I played Stranger of Paradise first, which has a very fun and varied battle system. If that feeling of battle was in ff16 I think I’d rank it much higher.

What’s the name of that plugin?

I’m playing 16 now.

It’s ok. The battle is a touch better, but honestly if you’re going to do a DMC mimicry do it all the way. I’m pretty disappointed that a game about collecting different eikons has zero elemental stat effects. I’m vaguely enjoying it but so far it’s ranking pretty low on the list of FFs that I’m emotionally attached to.

I was one of the people that wasn’t mystified by HL2. It was cool, but it was just a spectacle of good graphics and the gravity gun.

I felt they really mucked around with the story laid out by the first game, it barely felt related. Like, Independence Day 2 vibes.

Final Fantasy XV

I’m a huge FF fan, but felt there was a dip after the golden era of 7-10. 13 was middling for me, 14 was an MMO which is not my area of interest.

FF15 took a long time to come out. And then we find out that you are manually controlling the main character like a hack’n’slash. It just no longer sparked that joyous wonder.

I waited ages before I got a PS4 and then got the Royal Edition. Slowly as I played it a fell in love with the characters. They are flawed, thrust into a journey they didn’t get to choose, and instead of a toxic male fantasy it was a story about brothers, fathers and sons, about love, loss, and sacrifice.

I bawled my eyes out at the ending. The game definitely suffers from feeling like it’s not quite a finished product, but the characters are the star of the show.

The benefit of gold is that it doesn’t corrode

Cheers.

Do you recommend tapo cameras? Are they poe?

How do you manage remote viewing without internet?

Because some people do click it. Children, old people, tech illiterate people. The exact target market for those wanting to exploit people.

I think you’re going to have to elaborate on what you mean by “official classification”

Oh, I think we are talking about different things. I wouldn’t call the matrix an origin film. I would call something an origin film if it takes a pre-established character and tells a story of how they became that character. Batman Begins and Solo would qualify for that, whereas The Matrix is just a original story. They tend to be lazy story writing and spend time ticking off the boxes of things the audience recognises. Then half of them include a clunky way to come up the the characters name or title drop.

Can you clarify what you mean about origin stories?

Are you saying you like origin story movies? Especially ones that are released as a prequel to another movie?

I think origin movies generally suck, and I thought that was the common sentiment. Origin stories are a waste of screen time.

What’s wrong with Jack Black?
