In movie news, the animated film Connected is coming this year, finally, after being shown off last March and then disappearing seemingly forever.
It is under a new title: "The Mitchells VS. The Machines" -- which was actually the original test title for the film. Dunno why they changed it back.
Anyway, I'm kinda excited given that it'll be way more accessible on Netflix now, but the movie just seems kinda meh, especially with that pretty-spoilery trailer they released last year.
Dunno how well the message of "technology only drives people away, put it down and connect in-person" will be accepted, given that in the past year, technology has been instrumental in keeping people together and connected.

Christopher Miller, who's co-producing, went out of his way to say that the movies premise won't just be "phones bad" so I'm optimistic. I think it'll be a fun time, we just haven't seen much of it.

(Ouch, kinda awkward that their twitter tag is still "ConnectedMovie". The marketing department must be going crazy about any potential confusion.)
What is it about game playthroughs lately where I'm having a increasingly hazy time accepting, let alone liking a lot of the characters?
First Life is Strange(which had a handful of likeables amidst the whatever's or whyevens), then Detroit(where the amount I could say yeah towards was little above the two I enjoyed), and now Beyond Two Souls(practically no one).
Most David Cage games are poorly written in general, so it's kind of hard to take the characters too seriously. Same with Life is Strange, though that one has more of an earnestness to it while you can kind of tell Cage has a stick up his ass, lmao.

I suppose that more than checks out thus far. I recall thinking Heavy Rain was alright for the most part, but I'm sure there are a few more issues I didn't get bothered by.
Truth be told, I had zero interest in even looking up Beyond Two Souls, but the same channel that did Detroit Become Human just happened to cycle into Part 1 afterwards. The only reason I've gotten this far is because it's side-eye noise while I work anyway and the commentary is carrying most of it.

Ohohoho, Beyond Two Souls is David Cage at his absolute worst. Shallow characters, story structure that makes no sense to have and just ludicrous scenarios that you can just hear Cage moaning in pleasure at his own "brilliance" as he wrote it. Shame too, because I really like the concept for the game.

Can't tell if that's a good thing or not. Depends on if there's any other game of his my attention would even pass by.
But yeah, it's pretty damn bad. I've realized I tend to think about them more than I intend to, but even The Walking Dead Games at their worst seemed to wanna give a bit more of a shit about its characters, since ANF at least tried to give almost six of it's characters something resembling empathetic bits.
Cause you're right, it's a interesting outline for a mov- I mean game, but it jumps around so much, makes some questionable decisions with some of the scenes(the bar sequence had a effectively finished bad outcome that went unused), and gives nearly all of the characters so little screentime beyond the barest of basics(if even) that it's hard to for anything beyond some of the shock and maybe sympathy for Jodie to leave a positive impact.

I always really like the ideas for his games. A whodunnit detective game where you actually play the killer, a game about a woman who's tethered to an uncontrollable spirit, and a game about androids gaining sentience and deciding whether or not to be peaceful or violent when fighting for your rights all sound like super neat ideas but David Cage is not the person to be writing any of these stories. Detroit is probably his least horrible game solely because of the Connor and Hank stuff but even then the rest of the game is filled with so many ass-uppage moments. Though I'm surprised it didn't have his usual attempted rape scene.
I wouldn't mind if he came up with ideas and had other people build on those ideas but considering that he's supposedly a massive narcissist in real life and has his employees refer to him as the Sun King, it'd probably be best if he didn't work in the industry anymore.

hey man he should be thankful he's fighting a bunch of milfs this time and not weird rednecks and goop people. dude's got it much easier this time around

I just learned that the vampire lady's name is Lady Dimitrescu. That is a romanian name and I am romanian myself. Considering the setting itself, our country do have history with vampires and draculas. My heart is just melting for excitement.

In Splatoon, the squid kids hairs are actually their tentacles, therefore they are made of flesh. This means that haircuts must be excruciatingly painful but it's all worth it to look fresh as fuck.
resident evil 8 will be the horniest AAA game since nier: automata, mark my words. people will be thirsting over the tall vampire mommy for decades to come, just as they have with nemesis
better idea: joe baker shows up and then he and chris team up for a hoedown throwdown combo blaster and punch the tall lady to pieces, opening the door for the resident evil arcsys fighting game we all secretly want

Hey boys, the Resident Evil: Maiden demo is out today! (Vampire Lady ooh)
*exclusive to PS5 tho
edit: oh... I was bested by the poogs. 7 hours ago.
I wouldn't have played it anyway but still, I'm tired of fucking waiting.
The RE showcase taught me that the plot of RE8 is after the death of Ethan’s wife he now has to survive an army of hot singles in his area.
The Internet's obsession with the Vampire Lady stuff is disturbing me.
Poor Ethan. Nobody wants to give him a break.
...
Yes.

‘supposedly’ lol
I’ll give more thoughts about David cage and interactive movie games later
The supposedly was more so meant for the Sun King part as I'm not sure if that was confirmed or not. I'm aware that he is a massive narcissist.
Yeah I haven’t heard the sun king part before, that’s interesting if it’s true
I just love that the opening credits of Detroit fade to black at the end to dramatically reveal “WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY DAVID CAGE”
As if Detroit wouldn’t have been complete hot garbage like beyond two souls without the assistant writer he brought on board.
(Oh and the “citizen cage” poster in Fahrenheit 👌)
Every year I file taxes, I am reminded again why the IRS needs to be destroyed.
wtf, people spreedrun wallace and gromit now? lmao
The fact that this is a former world record is the most baffling part
hey man he should be thankful he's fighting a bunch of milfs this time and not weird rednecks and goop people. dude's got it much easier this time around
I hope the final boss of RE8 Ethan is about to be killed by Tall Lady only for Jack Baker to show up for no reason at all for the alley-oop.

Resident Evil 8: Now with 100% fewer hand amputations and 100% more tall women. Pre-order now.
Hyped af for when Ethan loses his right hand instead
Me trying to pick up drawing again after months of procrastination.

Only eight months?

Bonk

Okay then, guess I’m the only one here who still doesn’t care about RE8 or big-titted vampire girl.
I wish I were you. Right now, I see pictures of this vampire lady and then read the comments people have them, getting me all:
INGEN IS GETTING UPSET
Not really.
I say not really because I generally didn't pay any personal attention to Resident Evil and have yet to look into 8.
