Absolutely do NOT give your ID or face scan on Discord. It's even worse than expected. Apparently due to people bypassing current systems, they're switching to "persona" which is funded by fucking Peter Thiel.

I raced to my ps5 to buy the God of War Sons of Sparta game but…. $40 (CAD) ??? Yeesh. Not saying it isn’t worth that but I am gonna wait for some reviews before I throw that kind of money at it.

I was seeing a lot of negativity before thinking of something to say… that for me what one of the best State of Plays in recent memory. I wasn’t expecting a Dead or Alive 7 announcement or a 2d Castlevania, or the MGS Volume 2 Collection. Also the Rooster game… cockadoodle-do better be my warcry.
If anyone even hints that was a bad State of Play, they're on crack and don't like games.
That was one of the strongest showings in some time!

I am 30 minutes late to the State of Play so I am gonna be radio silent until I catch up.

I just finally saw Hamnet. I am calling it now. This movie is winning the Oscar.
Cause I fucking hated it and that is how the Academy Awards seem to work for me. Can’t remember the last Oscar winner I didn’t think was total trash… Moonlight I guess?

I saw it last week and loved it. You don’t need to have watched the webseries or shows but if you loved those I guarantee the movie hits the mark.

I enjoyed Multiversus in the beginning ironically but I agree with what you are saying. Their f2p dailies and battlepass design felt like tedious work rather than fun and the forced single player missions were worse than nothing at all. Probably would have been better and successful not being F2P.

I think what is killing 2xko is its piss poor value for dollar proposition. Sure it is F2P but it is poorly communicated how many characters you actually get with a deluxe or ultra edition. 12 characters for $140 Cad when i can just buy SF6 or TK8 for half or less with a full story mode. Pass.

You’re right. I definitely heard the ‘64’ often. Not like anyone was confusing it with the Atari Jaguar.

I’m East Coast Canadian and definitely remember regulary calling it the Ness and Sness. I am sure you’re right about regional variations. I remember the N64 having no shortened name though.

We used to call it the Nes like ‘Ness’. I blame the Nester comics from Nintendo Power magazine.

I love that the CBC has done coverage for the new game Relooted. I had been anticipating playing it since reading about it in Edge Magazine a few months ago. So far my first impressions of playing it today are ‘very good’. If you have Gamepass it would be silly to not check it out.

Finished Life Is Strange: Double Exposure earlier tonight. Having my impressions skewed by unwarranted negative reviews I went in with low expectations and left absolutely loving it. Such beautiful game done using Unreal Engine 5.

More upstairs idiocy. I haven’t played the game (don’t like Riot or tag fighters) but to layoff 80 staff less than 3 weeks into release and only been at one major FGC tournament…. this is quitting before you’ve even started.

Just finished the 2024 Alone in the Dark reboot with David Harbour and Jodie Comer starring. I enjoyed the hell out of it and am really disappointed with the cynical reviews it got. It’s not perfect but better than 6/10. I think it was cursed being released next to Alan Wake 2.

I forgot to mention last night’s movie was in fact Nirvana The Band The Show The Movie. Thought it was hilarious. Seriously check it out. Now I am nostalgic for Orbitz. Bring it back… youtu.be/y2K9ccMREOI?...
