Hot take but I don't really care about AI generated advertisements. They're ugly, but commercials are always ugly. It sucks for the actors and crews who otherwise would have gotten work but that's the extent of it.

Starting development of a KOTOR 2 remake while the remake of the first game is still missing in action... that's video games for ya

Playing the original Resident Evil (Director's Cut, technically) is a very odd experience because the voice acting and dialogue are truly as awful as everyone says, but everything else holds up remarkably well. Stone cold classic game.

My totally anecdotal experience of the Marvel Tokon beta tells me the most popular characters are Spider-Man and Ms Marvel, and the least popular characters are Ghost Rider and Star-Lord. Iron Man is also surprisingly unpopular.

In light of Kill Bill getting a new bonus scene, what other films do we think could be expanded by Fortnite? I'm thinking we could approximate the extended version of The Magnificent Ambersons with Jonesy as the lead

Got to see my cinematic white whale and watch a Fortnite short film back to back. What a time to be alive

I saw some people debating the merits of Dragon Quest IX recently. I have two thoughts on this subject:
1. I absolutely loved it when I was a kid
2. I would definitely not like it as much today

Well, there it is. Good game overall, but one I have a lot of gripes with. But it did enough well and really hooked me in with the ending, so I'll be there for the sequel.

Something did, in fact, stop me from finishing it yesterday. But not today!
I've been almost done with Trails in the Sky for a while now, but I truly am almost done now. Nothing should be stopping me from finishing it tomorrow.

It's the age old question: does your vacation start the moment you leave work, or does it start the first moment you aren't at work that you normally would be? The answer is that it doesn't really matter as long as I don't need to go to work next week.

I'm glad the Zelda game people are comparing Metroid Prime 4 to is Ocarina of Time rather than Breath of the Wild. That's one crisis averted, at least.

There's a certain kind of anime/manga fan who doesn't actually like the series they pretend to like, they just like the aesthetics and being in a community. This feels like what's happening with Chainsaw Man
on twitter right now they are speculating that the writer of chainsawman and firepunch may have watched porn at some point

Perhaps the most annoying form of YouTube Shorts slop is the kind that's just someone reading a Tumblr post. Not even their own post, just something they want to share and farm engagement off of

I just sort of internalized the idea of Avatar movies taking a decade plus to produce so I actually had no idea there was a new one coming in a few weeks. I apologize to Box Office Jim for doubting his abilities

In a certain sense, "Dynasty Warriors 2 is the first Dynasty Warriors game" is a true statement, and that will never stop being amusing

Kind of a baffling interview. Yamada sounds like he's trying really hard to triangulate on what this game is supposed to be and it's not inspiring a ton of confidence.
