I always assumed that flying type is weak to rock because they have hollow bones, and heavy rocks will make them come crashing down to the ground. Electric type because lighting is even more dangerous if you’re up high, or something. Honestly at first I thought that you were wrong but now I realize my justifications Read more

this is the relateable content i’m after, gita, thank you Read more

The satire is laid on pretty thick in the starting area, to the point that it’s sort of ham-fisted, but the writing really improves once you get beyond that point.  I ran into a really great part last night where two characters had a 5 minute debate about the nature of free will versus causal determinism.  The game Read more

Pup, IDLES, Zeal & Ardor, and Refused. We should be friends.

Cool playlist. Read more

This makes me even more interested in checking out The Outer Worlds! Read more

Maybe it’s because I’m currently locked in a testing room going over forms line by line all day and now I have a new playlist of music I wouldn’t otherwise discover, but I like this feature and would like to see more of it. Thank you. Read more

“I had to include at least one song about hating Margaret Thatcher” - Bands need to start doing this again. Imagine the bangers we could have about Boris!  Read more

I really hope this sells well. This type of game (single player, story-driven, with tons of options for character customization and playstyle) seems to be coming along more rarely these days amidst the annualized titles, battle royals, and looter shooters built around microtransactions, paid DLC and grinding.

Sounds like the Fallout 4 we deserved. Friday can’t come soon enough.  Read more

Truly this game went from Meh to Must Have because of your writing. Thank you. Read more

Heck yeah, I’m truly heartened to know the game deals with labor and class so openly. So many games limit their critiques of capitalism to “big corporation EVIL” and leave it at that. I get your frustration with the way it ignores racism & sexism, but I also kinda thing maybe it’s for the best that they limited their Read more

My favorite horror movie not counting Get Out.  The Thing has it all.  It’s grotesque, psychological, and makes you fear even yourself.  Even though the special effects are incredible to this day, it succeeds at my favorite horror trick - making something that should be ordinary and harmless frightening, like the dog Read more

The video game they made for the movie was also fantastic. Way ahead of its time in gameplay and managed to be nearly as scary as the film.

Honestly, I feel like the utter lack of budget really helped the film. The monster effects were great, but the movie lives because you couldn’t have too many of them, you had to rely on the character-focused paranoia. Now, when you find the time, I’d rather not spend the rest of this winter TIED TO THIS FUCKING Read more

Along with everyone here, in my opinion, this is THE best horror movie of all time. It truly captures horror to it’s tee and the realistic reactions from the cast sold me on it. What truly stood out to me was that, the alien, by the end of the film, was still..an alien...literally. It never had a true form, it motives Read more

John Carpenter is a gift to cinema and in a deep, deep bench of classics, I have to agree that the Thing is his masterpiece. It has just a little bit of that grindhouse grit from the Escape Series, it perfects his amazing horror skills building tension throughout, it’s got unparalleled practical effects and it’s got Read more

I’m a living catalyst to the perspective of interracial marriage shifting in homogenized communities. Being the first black child to a biological, white mother in a lily white town more than 30 years ago is quite dramatic, if not staggering at the amount of ignorance you endure. Read more
