Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I started Hollow Knight. Technically, I've started Mass Effect 3, but I just haven't been feeling it so I started up a 2D side-scrolling, metroidvania instead. And, I'm really liking it. The art style feels like it has some Binding of Isaac in it, but without the grotesqueness of it all. I love how ...

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?

I didn't love the comic, but if anyone is interested, most of the series is free with Comixology Unlimited, so you could do the free trial, read them and then just discontinue the subscription.

Re: Let's rank Tarantino films, for no reason whatsoever...

I think it was Blood Diamonds and Shutter Island that convinced me that I enjoy DiCaprio. Since then, he seems to have a really good head for picking roles. I can't think of a performance of his in the last 15 years I haven't enjoyed. Also, I did see Once Upon a Time. I talked about it in What You'v...

Re: Comic Book Chatter

Some comics I read recently, Umbrella Academy Vol. 1 &2 - Finally got to this series. Glad I did. I would have loved this had I read it upon release, but better late then never. I need to check out the show now. The Quantum Age - Not as good as the main Black Hammer series. I'm starting to feel ...

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?

I saw Once Upon a Time in...Hollywood. I must have lost all my constitution because I had to close my eyes when the movie got violent. When it's just dealing with Hollywood and Leo's character's career, the movie is a lot of fun. When it's dealing with the Manson cult, I was less interested. I wante...

Re: Books completed

I read the Loneliest Girl in the Universe by Lauren James. It's a YA science fiction book and I really liked it. No spoilers, but it becomes a real page turner as it goes on. My co-host and I interviewed the author for our book podcast. He was freaking out because he got the time wrong, with her bei...

Has anyone tried out the Arcade 1UP cabinets? They don't ever seem worth it today due to the game selection, but that new Marvel collection looks pretty nice.

Re: 392: Batman: Arkham Origins

I had a surprisingly great time with Arkham Origins. It had actual boss fights this time around and I was surprised to see C-list Batman villains like Firefly make for some pretty great set pieces. And Deathstroke always makes for an exciting fight, especially if you don't realize you accidentally t...

Re: Our next Final Fantasy podcast recording (10.8.19) - 382: Final Fantasy XII

Final Fantasy XII is an interesting game. A single player RPG with many MMORPG elements. A story more akin to the early, 2D Final Fantasys, except there's no true main character. And, like a lot of the series, it's influenced by Star Wars, now to the point of almost theft. I swear there were cities ...

Currently working my way through DJ Hero . I deleted my original save file (from 2014) and am working through the mixes on normal (pretty much all I did on the previous save).

Pitchfork Reviews Ocarina of Time OST

Someone shared this on the OCRemix forum, so I decided to share it here as well. I think I saw someone mention this is the first time Pitchfork has covered a video game soundtrack? Better web detectives then me can probably confirm or deny that. It's a nice love letter to an incredibly iconic soundt...

For absolutely no reason whatsoever I just bought a end of generation PsOne with attached screen. Anyone got one of these and can report back on the screen quality? It comes with a charger that plugs into the lighter socket in the car so will play all those old discs I’ve got. Also I think I should...

Game that defines the console?

I've been wondering this to myself over the past week... Can you pick one game per console that defines that system for you? I don't mean the best game on the system, I mean the one that defines how you view the console in your mind? So, for the NES, I tend think of Ninja Gaiden as how I view that c...
