I find this interesting purely from a business perspective. I don't think this will cause EA much trouble, they can probably still say "from the makers of FIFA 23!", and be done with it. The only way this can cause trouble is if another (AAA) studio comes with a competent (prefferably even better) football game, and snaps up the FIFA license, in 24. Honestly I don't see that happening.

This looks cool, love the variety. Think I'll do get Netflix for a month in June to watch this and Russian Dolls.

This used to be a thread about a half-Life mod. Now it has been made into a stand-alone game, with more content. The original post can still be found below in the spoilers. This game is about a man named Stanley, and you have to help him on his epic quest to find his co-workers.

Nice. I haven't been following releases lately, but I saw it pop up somewhere recently. It's coming out tomorrow right? As it's probably not much affected by drift, I may actually just get it.

I suspect not, but don't take my word for it.

I bought some Criterion releases a while ago. In the Mood for Love and El Laberinto del Fauno. They don't ship outside of the US on their own site, so I bought them from Amazon back then. There are quite a few films I want from them, but I'm currently not buying blu-rays. I still keep an eye out on their new releases, they recently released Shaft, which is cool.

I bought it on Steam on day 1, with a significant discount (33% off for owners of the original), but as expected, it doesn't run. Maybe I'll get it for Switch, but probably not, or only after I get all my controllers fixed. But I think I'll wait for news on a physical release before double dipping.

In short: not as good as the last Spider-man. But pretty entertaining. Story-wise and character development-wise it's lacking. The characters are moving around a lot, but there isn't much room for interesting dialogue. America Chavez is wasted, her introduction is lacklustre, she's more or less for most of the film. Wanda's also wasted.. She's What I did like were some of the (trippy) visuals, and the fact Sam Raimi managed to sneak in a straight up horror vibe into a Marvel film in some of the scenes, The infamous Illuminati scene offered some cool fanservice, but other than that, the scene was pretty memorable for other reasons besides the cameos. I'll let you find out for yourself for now.

I definitely won't watch that trailer. I've got my tickets reserved for tomorrow, so I'll see it then. Think I'll go to bed now and get up when it's time to go. I hear there are some spoilers floating around the internet so be careful!

So I hear they want to invest in NFT's..

Yeah, that's one of the reasons why I can see myself quitting gaming altogether in several years.. I think it's a question of when rather than if.

The Netherlands lost one of its 80s pop icons today. R.I.P. Henny Vrienten.

Not a lot known at this point, new characters, and made by Gearbox themselves, and apparently releasing this year (Summer). Tales from the Borderlands might be my favourite Telltale game, if they do this well then I am excited. But that's going to depend on who's writing this.

Let's maken an adventure / railshooter / racing game! It did none of those things particularly well, but that didn't stop it from being highly entertaining.

They shadowdropped the 2nd season (2nd season was confirmed a long time ago)? I ended my Netflix subscription, but this was one of the things I actually wanted to see. But there was no news about a releasedate. I re-watched season 1 not too long ago. Maybe I'll ctach up in the Summer or at the end of the year (more likely). I don't feel like renewing Netflix for 1 month right now.

Looking forward to it! In this case I'm sure a distributor over here will pick it up for a cinema release, that said, I don't know how quick they'll be (but I hope very quick). If I had the money I'd buy a ticket to Japan. That said.. The dimensional door premise is doing my head in haha. I saw a anime shortfilm a long time ago, about a person who traveled to other places using a mysterious door. That's all I can remember, and I desperately want to find out what it was and see it again.. So this reminded me of it once again.

I just wanted to mention that The Northman is my favourite film of this year so far. It's pretty epic. And a bit bloody.

It compare a shot in the Thor trailer to its comic equivalent.

Bought some shoes and some bananas. (hiking shoes, regular everyday sneakers, climbing shoes, and over the last month or so. The bananas are shoe deoderisers)

It's based on a Danish film called Den Skyldige (literally the same). I've seen that film (years ago), and it's fantastic.

Favourite film I haven't seen: And favourite book I haven't read:

My brother brought this to my attention. I hadn't heard of it before.
