The only two video game soundtracks I have mixed in with my other music are Halo 2 and FFX. There are a few songs from VIII that I go back and listen to as well.

So he can make a new The Black Mages album?

Yeah, Stranger Things got a pass for the Covid year. But they should have planned it better with how popular it was and with their ages. I’m glad this will be the final season, the kids are in their 20s and 30s.

Squid Game I’m kind of okay with. First season was great and self-contained. It didn’t feel like it needed a second season. So as long as it’s good I’ll be happy, I’m not in a rush.

Sandman should have come out by now. And with Neil Gaiman’s stuff, I’m wondering if they’ll move forward.

I canceled awhile ago. But Squid Game, Stranger Things, and Sandman all might get me to subscribe for a month. But it’s been awhile since we’ve had anything new from those.

“No, I have never, ever, wondered why we’re here. Semper Fi, bitch.”

I love playing reach in God mode with infinite abilities just mowing down enemies. Just remember to turn on Grunt Birthday Party.

I really like some of the Halo games for this, especially any levels that don’t involve The Flood. The inventive hit-boxes, slow movements, the vehicles that are fun to just drive around, and the addition of gameplay modifiers, they’re pretty cathartic for me.

21 years, sorry.

It’s the Warthog. There’s an old webseries called Red vs Blue from like 20 years ago (they just finished the whole thing last year) where they refer to the Warthog as a Puma.

It’s hilarious by the way. If you have an hour to kill, you should check out the first season.

Imo, Halo 5 is easily the best gameplay of the 343i games. It also added the most interesting plot threads of their games, despite having a terrible plot.

Halo 4’s gunplay is the worst in the series, especially in the campaign when balanced with the Prometheans. It’s not so bad in the multiplayer, but still not great. Halo 5 improved both the enemies and the weapons pretty spectacularly.

Agreed on Reach being the best though.

Their comment sounds like something you spam on a bunch of posts to get someone to click the scam link.

Yeah, Halo Infinite just skips everything that Halo 5 set up. Everything Promethean is over. There are no more Spartan companions (whether any are still alive or not is kind of up in the air). Humans are on the brink of extinction. The whole game is just telling you that’s the new reality. Not really a lot of plot, just world building.

I just want a sequel to Halo 5 that concludes the Promethean trilogy. The game ended at a great spot for a final chapter, not a fucking epilogue.

People in zombie movies and shows that don’t know what zombies are. I know it’s so they can use cool descriptions like “the infected” or “walkers” or “the dead”. The zombie word sounds kinda silly. But I still don’t like it.

Van Helsing did the mirror thing which was cool. I think Dracula Dead and Loving It did too.

Side thought. I loved in From Dusk Til Dawn when they’re trying to think of all the folklore that they could remember. Like whether silver was supposed to hurt vampires too or just werewolves.

Another side thought, I love when they know about the monsters like in Shaun of the Dead. It always bothers me when it’s an alternate universe that’s never heard of Zombies before.

It’s been a minute, but I thought the audio logs showed that it was just people fucking each other over and doing morally shitty things WAY before everyone went crazy.

Also, the lack of regulation allowed the drugs to be created and allowed it to be distributed to the level that it was. You could come up with different methods for the same disaster, but that doesn’t undermine it. It still caused this disaster and was seemingly preventable.

Also, you could argue that absolutism is the real evil. I think in the second one they tackle socialism. I didn’t play much of it and the timeline in comparison to the original confuses me. Buy it kinda implies that going to the extreme with no safeguards is problematic.

Funny, I just responded a similar response with 28 Days Later as an example and didn’t notice yours.

Interesting that you like the tropes. I like the fact that there’s some variation depending on your preference.

I like zombies that are infected and not reanimated. They’re fast but die from normal damage. 28 Days Later is one of my favorites and it’s a major point of emphasis.

The Walking Dead on the other hand is hard to take seriously sometimes because of the contrivances from slow moving zombies, and the fact that 10 year old zombies are still around bothers me. Although the idea of having a normal running society, but the dead reanimate is a very interesting concept that I would love to see explored.

I liked the FF8 remaster. The field models are just field models. It’s not like they look like the FMV cutscene character models on the original either. They’re just so distorted that you have to imagine the FMV characters.

Editing out Siren’s bush was a sin though.

Edit: Oh, and getting rid of vibration. I had forgot about that until just now. That was 100% the worst part of the remaster. I hope they’re fixing that, because otherwise what’s the point in the demaster?

“This is, of course, a slightly wild thing for the studio that made Morrowind (its actual best game) and Skyrim (its most popular game by miles) to say”
