  1. News from Mordor. Russian billionaire who owns a number of metallurgy factories, things kinda essential for war machine, detained on account of him allegedly illegally privatizing them in the nineties, factories nationalized. Wonder if it's a start or just an episode. Please be a start.
  2. She totes looks like a Kate and not a Cate. So much that my brain glosses over the name printed on the poster that's like, in front of me right now.
  3. I'm more about Kate Blanchett of all people. Thought it was a photoshopped joke poster at first.
  4. "So hey, Hollywood Fatcat 1, I hear viewers are getting tired of endless sequels and reboots, profits drop, we need to do something, but damn that's such a great formula, wonder if we can reinvent it somehow?" "I got ya, Hollywood Fatcat 2:" The Beatles: Sir Sam Mendes to direct four films - one about each band member
  5. No idea, I only know him from that Spoony Experiment LP of Phantasmagoria 2. Which has definitely better acting than Breen's film, but kinda similar cinematography.
  6. That trailer looks like one of those FMV adventure games from the nineties, like Phantasmagoria 2. And I would love to see Noah Antwiler's Lets Play of this movie
  7. Lemme hazard a guess - he confiscated and, ah, utilized that 12 pack of moonshine? Obligatory "Not speaking for all Eastern Europeans blahdy-blah", but collapse of sovietistan was the best thing that happened to me in my entire life and I'd gladly go for loops of those really not as horrible as people think nineties if that was what required to never experience something like sovietistan again.
  8. Eurotrash's boring. Now, disco on the other hand....
  9. Carl Anderson's "Heaven on their minds" was the very first rock thing I experienced, and it overwhelming my child mind with "This is life and this is me and this is everything" means it will forever sit on top of my Hoard of Sensations. I didn't see the full movie then, so the first full experience was the concept rock album too. I thought Murray Head to be boring compared to Carl Anderson, but Ian Gillan was...something else and then when I eventually saw the film Ted Neeley sounded underwhelming in comparison, though with time I warmed up to him. So I love both versions equally; that version of aughts is a travesty, though. And now for obligatory "WhyyyyYYYyyyyyyYYYYY":
  10. Well, I went and slayed her fine, climbed up to discover I got a whole lot of literally nothing for a reward, took the "stay here for a while" option and wham, the end achieved, credits roll. I did restart later and did a full murderhobo loop though, took me about 3 hours of nice, mild horror. I'll probably try again to see if being nice to the Princess yields different results.
  11. Oh! I too played Slay the Princess. It was way too short, less than 10 minutes I think, and my reward for slaying her sucked.
  12. So, art assets totally going to be generated by AI, writing absolutely, AI can code, now it will do voices too, it's like wet dream of all future bobby coticks. Wish someone replaced those f*cking suits with AI, it already has advantage over them by being literally soulless instead of metaphorically.
  13. We put buttons in meat fillings in our "zeppelins" (think of a big zep-shaped potato dumpling). Also supposed to bring luck and it's a wonder I never witnessed it bringing odontology expenses instead.
  14. I'm not quite starved of British comedy, there's full Monty Python's Flying Circus on Netflix, "After Life" in backlog and other stuff, but this reminded me I still haven't watched the last of Cornetto trilogy, so that's something to look forward to.
  15. Watched Love Actually. Whoever recommended me this pile of saccharine as "Witty British comedy" is up for some retribution. Maybe I'll recommend them Pet Sematary as feel good family movie.
  16. We still talking about Latvia here? Because AFAIK nobody oppresses Russian-speaking locals there. Unless "Learn the language of the country you live in order to maybe get a better job" counts, and no, that thousand that media says might be kicked out, is very unlikely local. Also your last sentence is pointlessly long. "Break up russia --> Yes please!" is sufficient.
  17. Are these game's original voice actors and do they chew scenery this bad in the game too?
  18. And still failed that. Ya'll here, who analyze and argue over aesthetics of some fluff piece that gets skipped 99% of time, are definite snobs.
  19. Bodies, Netflix series about what I thought would be a light sci-fi about good ol' time loop but actually was about four cops and their feelings. Still was pretty okay until the finale even if CGI cities looked jarringly fake, finale was not so surprisingly stupid. Like, would it bankrupt their Master Algorithm or something if they consulted a science fiction writer or two on how to resolve time travel paradox shenanigans? I also like how all TV and film dystopias make their "This is where rich people live" districts all pastel and beige and earthy as if they live in a giant IKEA or something. (Though TBH IKEA stores are dystopian and scary, especially in Christmas shopping spree time)
  20. I don't remember any other book where I adored the world and setting but hated the protagonist with a burning passion of a thousand blue suns. Actually cheered when Was team Irulan & Bene Gesserit all the way, and now when they cast Christopher Walken, team Shaddam IV too I guess. I liked the 84 better too, but very possibly because I was young and more easily impressed. The 21 looks awesome on the big screen. Great planetary scenes, spaceships lifting off is , killer soundtrack. People stuff? Meh, except Stellan Skarsgard.
  21. Well if it's any help there's a brothel and it gives skill boosts instead of STDs, so that's that. Almost done with Sunless Sea, moping up some quest lines. Funny how this game low-key and without judging lets you be a heartless monstrosity who helps out with mass production of cigars made out of pain and torture or feeds tourists to spiders. Also I'm pretty sure I'm not me anymore after ritual beheading. Started Sunless Skies. Whoever said it's easier is a dirty liar. For starters, no savescumming, which combined with no possibility to sneak past enemies like in Zee is a Very Bad Thing for my preferred playstyle, so I keep getting owned by RNG and random floating monstrosities. Also, starter ship is tiny and steers like a drunken baboon.
