I actually think this is the right call even though it stings. The finale worked because it had weight, Simon actually paid a price. If they made season two they would have to either cheapen that sacrifice or turn it into a fugitive drama which loses the satire angle that made this show stand...

The store shutdowns are honestly what caught my attention more than the disc news. If older systems lose official support, then people are going to worry about what happens next. Companies always say digital is convenient, but convenience only works if they keep supporting what people already...

There is something funny about how Metroid keeps getting treated like a series on life support whenever there is a rough patch. Fans do this every time. One game disappoints people and suddenly the whole franchise is supposedly in trouble. That feels overdone to me. If Ravenous is real, it shows...

From a game industry point of view, this is a smart move. Capcom has been doing well with remakes lately, and Code Veronica is a strong candidate because it has name value but also feels underplayed. It is not as mainstream as RE2 or RE4, so it brings something new to the remake lineup. If they...

The design direction here feels like it is trying to blend nostalgia with modern structure, and that is not easy to do. A lot of retro inspired games either stay too simple or try too many systems at once. The point allocation combat system is the most risky part in my opinion because it changes...

I actually like how fast they confirmed another season. It makes sense because animation takes time, so they probably planned it from the start. I don’t see that as a problem. What caught my attention more is the toys. The figures look very colorful and simple, which feels right for something...

This is huge. I gave up on physical media for Netflix shows years ago. Now we get all 42 episodes on 4K discs with behind the scenes stuff and interviews. The reversible art and the Hawkins map are nice touches. Deluxe edition has the coin token and dice which is fun for fans. Price is high but...

Behavior saw the success of K-pop Demon Hunters, so I have a feeling that this chapter is bandwagoning in part of Behavior Interactive, because if you look at Mina, she looks exactly like a Rumi with her hair down. And, you know, the fact that one of the Saja boys is voicing the survivor...

I did not expect a surfing ARPG to work, but after watching gameplay I think it might actually be fun. The movement across water looks smooth and fast which is important because players will travel often. I also like that the game supports four players because pirate adventures should feel like...

Backed it instantly. The whole serialized adventure thing is what the NES always missed back in the day. No monthly cartridge drops or anything, just single big games. Allison hopping worlds with different mechanics each time keeps it fresh. Margarita kidnapping arc sounds like it has actual...

Why now though? Season 5 filming wrapped ages ago. They could’ve released this in 2024 easy. I think they held it back on purpose to build more hype or maybe legal stuff with the stage rights. Anyway, doesn’t matter anymore. I’m just glad it’s coming. The play filled in all the blanks about...

Honestly, I feel like these mid-quels exist because Stranger Things was supposed to run for eight full seasons. The pandemic clearly messed up production schedules, and on top of that, the kids started hitting puberty right in the middle of filming, which made it impossible to keep them looking...

This is peak Resident Evil vibes coming back. No over-the-top action heroes saving the day every second, just regular people getting destroyed by the virus. The contrast with Grace having a normal childhood because her mom escaped is smart too. Makes you appreciate the survivors more while the...

I don’t care if I’m late to the party, I’m finally going to watch Daredevil. The cast is really strong, and seeing Charlie Cox still in it makes me feel like the character is treated seriously. Matthew Lillard joining is wild for me because I know him mostly from lighter roles. The idea that...

. Vecna sounds terrifying and I like that the game isn’t just reusing old mechanics. The whole Upside Down interacting with the map is exactly the kind of twist that keeps matches interesting. Eleven and Dustin being playable is awesome because it means the story feels complete without the show...
