Marvel's inability to get a single cool vampire movie off the ground is incredible. Incredible.

I replayed 3 recently, so I probably won't go through that soon. I will say that while I like Max Payne 3, the ending of 2 is so concise and such a simple effective conclusion for Max's character, it does make 3 feel a bit vestigial imo. www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2wX...

Vance? Vance is probably thinking going to war with Iran will own the libs or some shit. He's probably jerking off to the idea.

So you play as Mona Sax in Max Payne 2, and it's fine. That said one of the funnier aspects of it is apparently you're not really playing as her, so much as how Max imagines her acting during that segment. You never leave Max's head during the game. So that's why she's serving like this.

If we just keep bombing the Middle East, eventually things will work out-Ancient American Proverb

Played the demo for !mrak. It's a neat blend of first-person shooting with a focus on almost Mirror's Edge style platforming where you're sent out to find and kill some poor bastard to seemingly escape the debt you've piled up. Really short demo, but not bad. www.youtube.com/watch?v=78rc...

Man. What is Black Butler even about? www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozIb...

Honestly, I'm kinda surprised there isn't a bigger push for dinosaurs were fake or something, but I guess it's hard to accuse someone of working for big dinosaur or something.

Max Payne 1 and 2 are both 3rd shooters with a focus on bullet time, but they couldn't be farther apart in terms of what they ask of the player. In 2, you'd enter a room with bullet time on, you are never out of it, kill three guys, and a fourth one would still be in the process of turning around.

I thought Shotgun Cop Man was largely just fine, but hey, I won't say no to free levels. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXiS...

I mean, I don't know if that guy was completely in the wrong. Who knows, maybe that guy is justified with proper context. Maybe that puppy grew up to be evil.

Oh yeah, that's the good stuff. I love these designs of Lupin and gang.

A new house is going to join into the Garreg Mach Monastery - Noelle Silva (ノエル・シルヴァ) from the Black Bulls House. I just made this concept because I thought Noelle could look good into Fire Emblem Three Houses' Style, What do you think? #FE3H #FireEmblem #BlackClover

JENA, La. (AP) — Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil has been released from an immigration jail after 104 days in custody.

Two things can be true. I think life generally gets easier the more you go on. There's always a chance to learn and grow as a person. But someone once told me that some people aren't meant to be understood, and will never be understood. They'll go through life alone. They'll always be alone.

It's always a bit sad when an artist you really loved appears to just disappear. There was one Black Clover artist, Pi_mi_n_u, who drew the characters in such a unique fun style and every aspect of their account appears to been scrubbed from the internet. Hope they're doing well whenever they are.

Amazing how many people break their backs in this country but genuinely worship a guy who thinks they get too many days off. Just astonishing.

-Day after holiday is hell for postal workers -Boss tells me if guy calls out I'll have to basically handle twice the work on a day where everyone has twice the work -Figure what the hell, just text the guy and ask if he's coming in tomorrow -No answer Not a good sign.

Frustrating thing about GQuuuuuuX is I think there are things about it that are, to be frank, kinda bad, but the thing about that is clearly purposeful, the two female leads being written like two struggling dumb teens who have stumbled into a Gundam story, is being written off as mismanagement.

Key cards suck ass, but basically the exact same thing happened when the Switch launched. I'll also say a lot of these games are games that, ya know, if you're a fan you bought em already. Yakuza 0 came out 10 years ago. If you're a Yakuza fan and you don't own that, what are you doing?

One thing that stands out to me reflecting on the Max Payne series is people have issues with the story of Max Payne 3, mainly some folks think it goes a bit too far, and Max having an adventure in South America is a bit too goofy. That said, you basically uncover the illuminati in MP1.

Probably one of the sillier things I was maybe not scared of, but at least unnerved by as a kid was the Valve logo with the bald guy. Something about it always made me feel slightly uneasy.

First half of Max Payne is where the shooting works best when you're dealing with mooks who aren't bulky and you can do your best John Woo act. Gets harder to do that in the back half when enemies have assault rifles that drop you in three hits and are bulkier. Still possible, but less engaging imo.

*looking at upcoming season of anime, sees a manga called Takopi's Original Sin is getting an adaptation, a series he knows nothing about* ... Kill this thing. It's evil. It shouldn't exist.

Donkey Kong Bananza 🍌✨

GQuuuuuuX should end with every single character losing imo. Absolutely no one should get what they want. Almost every single character has seen their wishes spiral out of control, already.

One gameplay quirk regarding Max Payne 1, that I don't know if it's entirely intentional, is that you can generally ballpark how dangerous a mook is by how much dark leather they're wearing. Mook in just a dark coat-low level mook Mook in a duster, with leather gloves-high level mook

Decided to play through Max Payne 1 on a whim. Been a bit since I played it. I adore how the mobster mooks are portrayed in one. In Max Payne 2, they're played a bit more straight-faced, but in one? They're Looney Tunes characters.

The GOP candidate running for VA governor won't meet up with the GOP lieutenant governor candidate entirely because he's gay. There's literally no other reason.

I think we might be getting dumber tbh. Last time, there was a coordinated effort to lie to the American public whereas now it's just "Fuck you, Trump knows best. If he bombs them, it's only cause he loves peace."

Donkey Kong Bananza looks great. Genuinely hope I can get a Switch 2 to play it when it launches. On the other hand, I do....fear...the return of side scrolling cart levels. I've seen what they can do to men. How they...change them.

oh bananah 🍌🙈 #DonkeyKongBananza #Nintendo #Art #Fanart

Oh yeah, I'm definitely hyped.
