Blood rain, giblets, and warm bullet casings
Mild, sharp, and sharper cheese tastings
Metal dudes shredding their taut guitar strings
These are a few of my favorite things

  • Love these, thanks as always.

    Played a few demos at Next Fest, mostly games I’d been following for a bit. Was most impressed by Jump Ship. It’s in a very solid place getting ready to head into early access. I feel like they’ll use that to mostly fill out content because the bones are fantastic. And that’s not to say it’s lacking content anyway. It is a large demo. And it should be more solo friendly than Firebreak is reported to be.

    On that note, I encourage you to temper expectations for Firebreak and utilize a game pass service to play it if you have one vs buy. I’m a Control fan, but also a big coop shooter fan (come play Darktide with me), and Firebreak did not impress when I played the closed tech test. There’s nothing fundamentally wrong with it, but it was pretty bland for the genre and I don’t think there’s supposed to be a lot of lore development for the remedyverse. Solo is also something they are explicitly not balancing the game for. So I’d encourage not buying right away if that’s your plan for it.









  • Indeed. Ice Pirates, Mac n Me, and Tammy. They all encapsulate slightly different aspects of filmmaking that make me appreciate them. And I’m not really into ironically liking bad movies, but I adore these. Mac n Me is legit hilarious to me when viewed with a cynical eye of Raffill making a mockery that McDonald’s gave him money to ripoff ET. Ice Pirates shows how you make an old sci-fi “epic” on a shoe string budget (Roger corman style). Tammy shows how you manifest a movie solely around the fact you got access to some interesting thing (the t-Rex). It’s pure, distilled filmmaking, imo. And I’ll take it any day over the majority of slop we get now.
