What movie do you most regret watching with your parents?
  • I think the most memorable is probably The Wolf of Wall Street but it was nowhere near as awkward as it could have been. My sister and her husband wanted to see a movie with the family in theaters. Luckily the uproarious constant laughter from the packed theater was far more manageable than the awkward silence that would have happened with an at-home watch.

    What really got me was that a whole group of my friends had planned on seeing it the week before, but one very difficult guy insisted that he would not go see a "boring movie about financial crime" and made such a huge fuss that we finally agreed to see American Hustle instead, which was a very tame movie "about financial crime" funny enough.

    After, that guy said he was bored for the entire movie (despite the fact that American Hustle was actually pretty good). If it wasn't for the fact that The Wolf of Wall Street is exactly the kind of movie you want to see with your friends and not your parents, and that American Hustle would have been a perfect movie to see with the family, I'm not sure it would stick out in my mind so much.

    Annapurna Video-Game Team Resigns, Leaving Partners Scrambling
  • One of my favorite game publishers, this is wild (and not the Outer kind of wild). I'm super curious if the entire staff will start their own publishing company (which I imagine is harder to do without the financial backing of a billionaire's daughter) or if they'll split off and go their separate ways.

    I'm also very curious if this will start changing the kinds of games Annapurna publishes or if they'll still take interest in odd and niche games that need a publisher. I wish I knew more about the dispute here but time will tell what happens next at some point.

    Day 56 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots
  • Mobius is pretty fascinating and Klein is hilarious! They all have their own quirky charm that makes them all fun to interact with, though I'm partial to Dr. 0 simply because it's the same guy that voiced Dr. Venture on The Venture Bros. and the Wild Wasteland trait has him reference the "giant walking eye" as a nod to the show.

    Oxenfree is being completely removed from itch.io in October
  • No announcement or confirmation from Night School Studio regarding GOG, Steam, the Playstation Store, or the Nintendo eShop as of yet. My guess is they would give a decent warning announcement if it were to leave those outlets as well, but regardless I did download my copy from GOG to my backup drive just in case.

    [Book] Jack: Into the Beanstalk - not as bad as the title would suggest
  • Thanks for posting, this is a solid review! I definitely scrolled too fast coming across it and read the title as just "Jack Into the Beanstalk" which sounded like a very different premise at first.

    Definitely post a final review after you read book 3. I'm interested if it comes together as an entertaining trilogy or falls further from what you enjoyed about the first book by the end.

  • This is well presented and thorough, I gotta say he does a fantastic job at actually showing the big differences that make it really clear once he gets into it. I expected a lot of the Sega hardware to come up but was surprised to also learn about the current gen version of Super Monkey Ball vs the original.

    Official Teaser | Secret Level [Gaming anthology series from the dude that produced Love, Death + Robots]
  • I'm intrigued, I don't play or follow Warhammer 40000 but I've always been interested in its concepts and style so I'm really interested in seeing that episode.

    Also really stoked to see the Unreal Tournament episode since I have so many fond memories of crazy matches years ago. Definitely curious to see what they do with the Mega Man episode.

    What's the most underrated sport videogame of all time?
  • I'm not sure if it's underrated but Mario Tennis Advance for the Game Boy Advance is a gigantic standout for the series.

    It's an action RPG from the same company that made the Golden Sun games for the GBA. The usual fun power hits and tennis mechanics with some of the tightest controls in the series with quality world building and the kind of RPG satisfaction you'd get from a company like Camelot.

    Victoria (2015) - a film recorded in a single take. Highly recommended.
  • According to Schipper, the first attempt was dull because the actors were too cautious, being afraid to make mistakes; the second attempt was the opposite, as the actors went “crazy”. Schipper says he became “angry” and “terrified” after seeing the second take and realizing he had only one chance left; in a subsequent meeting, he gave the cast a “hairdryer speech ... [it] was not a meeting that ended in hugs and 'good talk.' It was crazy. But the tension was built on knowing we wanted the same thing”. Schipper believes the final attempt was successful because there was an element of “aggression” missing from the other versions.[7]

    Added to my watch list, I'm super intrigued to see how the final cut turned out.

  • This post was solved by @lemonmelon, the song is "Paul Revere" (1986) by the Beastie Boys.

    Don't forget the clues, friends! The first clue I provided was that this song wasn't released in the 90s and then got several guesses afterward that were all songs from the 90s. I've only got a few more posts left before I take my leave, it's been fun but I'm usually not on often enough to keep up, so make sure to peep those clues on my final posts!
