We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

No. The Thing is a movie about a bunch of people who all distrust and hate each other trapped in one building as the tension between them slowly builds until it reaches a breaking point. It's a Thanksgiving movie.
Should John Carpenter's THE THING be officially classified as a Christmas movie? Let your voice be heard!

A jam for your Sunday. I tried to make the lyrics kind of psychedelic. My work is wallpapered with Peanuts cartoons. Before the second chorus I played a snippet of my vocal backwards, and it sounds like "Space Space Mayonnaise", check it out

I'm proud of my line "Yautja mind if you think I’m gonna call those things anything other than Predators" and I'm not ashamed to say it.
I really enjoyed PREDATOR: BADLANDS, a totally different type of PREDATOR sequel that feels completely natural because it's sorta like the one we always imagined.
Predator: Badlands | VERN'S REVIEWS on the FILMS of CINEMA
At some point on this here internet I started seeing people refer to the alien species from the PREDATOR movies as “Yautja.” I sure never noticed anybody

People getting rabid over movies & filmmakers failing their purity tests and I dunno man. It’s movies, not global politics. If Eric Trump decided he wanted to direct action movies I bet I would watch that shit religiously. Movie stars are knuckleheads. Studios are evil. Find your heroes elsewhere.

This translates to “tailor-made for me!” Got this queued up for a couple watches this weekend. I’ve been begging for years for someone to get Daniel Bernhardt back into a lead role and it’s finally here. And hey look, BSky’s favorite exiled son, Patton Oswalt is along for the ride. Can’t wait!
Ever wonder what Conan directed by Sam Raimi would look like? Especially if it featured amazing practical effects and starred one of the foremost ass-kickers in the business? Then Steven Kostanski made just the flick for you. This thing was engineered in a lab for me to love it. Fucking fantastic!

the idea that lots of gamedevs are secretly using ai is booster bullshit
what on earth would I use genAI tools for? Coming up with ideas? Writing? It’s shit at those
making 3D models? Coding stuff? It’s shit at that too
oh but it’s faster maybe? Did I mention it’s shit at things?
seems important

You'll be seeing a lot of me this week on the Podcast circuit as apparently I am the "Predator Expert" and as such I bring in equal parts my knowledge and my diseased take that AvP:R is in fact worth your time and has a lot more going on under the hood.
Enjoy.

think of this as me trying to find out what parts of dialogue choices are load bearing game design and what else can be done with dialogue.

Been listening to Aesop Rock's latest album basically all week, it shadow dropped just before or on Halloween and God damn, for me he hasn't missed. Professor Skye called it "spooky" both sonically and thematically and kind of a political album? I think that is apt!

As always, extremely well done and informative content from Alanah. Please watch this *and* take a stroll through her channel, you'll learn a ton.
Here’s my breakdown of EA’s pending sale… to Saudi Arabia… and why this is much, much bigger than video games. I’m late to this from a ‘news’ perspective obviously, but it’s because I worked on this video for about a month.

For those idles, we played part of a song for the performer once and told them: You don't have to remember it well. You don't have to be good, in fact it's better if you're not. Think "singing in the shower."
This Outer Worlds 2 clip was posted on Reddit with the note: "This tiny moment is my favorite in the entire game, a guard NPC is singing the radio songs to himself."
I worked on that mission so heard that clip 100x and it was never not funny to me. Thanks Andrew Kishino for the great performance!

Might fuck around a repost this weekly. PREACH!
I am going to just come out and say it, I don’t understand the vitriol flung at “Predators.” So many fans of the series rank it low or dead last and I’ve never seen one thoughtful explanation as to why that is.
