The Hollow Earth theory is something else entirely. Have you not been paying attention or are you deliberately trying to point our attention away from something? Are you a reptiloid?

Eh, I was arguing that games like Hollow Knight don't count in an argument that modern day games are better by default. If anything, the fact that Hollow Knight is highly regarded and thought of as better than many other games theses days is, quite frankly, a point for the argument that older games were more memorable (or better, whatever you prefer). As for storytelling, huh, you haven't made a single argument. You're just stating as a matter of course that storytelling skills have magically improved. There are more writers and people making video games than ever before, that's true. The great narratives are still far and in between just as much as they were in the past. Oh, sure, they look different, but that doesn't make them better. You're confusing high production value and polish with quality. For whatever reason.

Between this and Zuckerberg's pictures from his hearing I'm beginning to understand where the reptiloid conspiracy theory comes from.

Saw You Were Never Really Here. Don't know, expected something different from the trailer. Still a nice watch and it's really nice to see a movie being only 90 minutes for a change.

Or they could be like me and utterly indifferent because they don't like the genre. There's an utterly and of course completely objective way to test pop songs. Find a metal cover and listen to it, like Shake It Off from the aforementioned Taylor Swift: Or some older pop like Toto's Africa: Obviously the latter one is objectively so much better. Pop songs that work as metal are good! Why? Well, because, that's why. That should be easily to understand for you all. I know I'm right.

I'll bite. Again. But it's fun. Sort of. Like pulling nails. You do realize that you just prove your point against you? These games are deliberate throwbacks to the earlier ones you dismiss so easily, just with a higher resolution and arguably better graphics (isn't valid for, e.g. Celeste). The only difference being that such games were the AAA ones in the 90ies. That's like saying Kung Fury proves that good movies are still made today. I'd also be interested how exactly the storytelling got better. I don't see it.

Woot!

Yeah guys, don't give them ideas.

I'm playing Hollow Knight. There wasn't much reistance. The game is great even if the way the map works wreaks havoc on my weak sense of orientation.

Switch or Hollow Knight? I've already caved on the latter, and caving in on the former is just a matter of time. ... Which is the point where I'll fail to not re-buy the latter again. Hollow Knight. I bought me a Switch a while ago, it's the only current console I actually use.

Must resist... urge... buy... argh.

That escalated quickly. =)

Well that was a hilarious 2:1 for Portugal. Reminded me a bit of a certain CL final...

It wasn't so much the artstyle or the dialogue, the gameplay and the riddles were a bit weak in my opinion. The older games weren't nearly as long but it took some more doing to figure them out. edit: And yeah, I think there's only one thing we all can agree on, Escape was... bad. =/

Thats Herbie the Love Bug. Probably from the most recent movie Herbie: Fully Loaded. Don't remind me. People always talk about how the Star Wars prequels ruined their childhood but dear god, Fully Loaded was worse than anything Lucas ever made and Lindsay Lohan is so bad she can easily keep up with Hayden Christiansen and Jake Lloyd.

I wouldn't mind a Ron Gilbert Monkey Island that explains what really happened in LeChuck's Revenge but that doesn't make Curse of Monkey Island any less hilarious. That 3D acceleration joke makes me laugh hard every time and that's not even in the game proper. The games that came after it though, uhm. Yeah... thanks, but no thanks.

Yeha, talked with a friend about this, it's a German WW2 era army sidecar motorcycle with no distinct features and therefore probably the one from Indy 3.

The world's really gone to seed when people can flaunt their heresy that out in the open. Bring the pitchforks and the tar guys.

Oh my, looks like the leftists are trying to introduce too much regulation again... oh... wait. Yeah, the EPP's gonna EPP. What a surprise. Le sigh.

To touch back briefly to the new X-Files season here's a clip from one of the episodes: I want a Mr. Chuckle Teeth spinoff. That thing is, to quote Will Ferrell, that thing is first team all American creepy.

Jump kick might be overstating it, anti-german bias speaking here, obviously. As for who'll win, I don't know. Brazil looked really strong so far and Spain seems to have removed itself from the competition. I doubt firing the coach right before the group phase was a good idea. I'd be down with an underdog winning this time.

Yeah I know there are actually people who believe that Neuer's Chuck Norris jump kick against Higuain wasn't a penalty but that is sort of a ridiculous opinion. One that even German referees don't agree with. And you need to get your priorities straight. Anything is preferable to Brazil or Germany winning the cup.

What was wrong with the 2014 final ? What wasn't?

Shouldn't be an issue this time with the new video support system. At least I hope so. I'd be glad if there wasn't a repeat of the 2014 final. *cough*

Finished The X-Files Season 11. Had the best standalone episodes in a long while but the myth arc was just terrible. It has been terrible since after S6's Two Fathers/One Son but this is a new low even going by S9's and S10's mythology episodes. It's sad that Gillian Anderson doesn't want to continue. It's the first time I'd actually look forward to another season of X-Files since, well, '99 I guess.
