So this dont really mean shit because its Marcus Sellars (video game """""insider""""" who gets things wrong 19 out of 20 times, and mostly focuses on Nintendo stuff) but he posted this and I dont know why he would tweet this seeing how its not really in his realm.
Maybe he's trawling around communities and putting two and two together like we've been doing? idk, has he ever been right about something like this before?
ok posted in the correct place now

Marcus Sellars is a joke, the only things he ever gets correct are things other people say before him. If anything he is probably just aware of Telltale's situation and knows how they are going to announce a game soon and its highly likely the Game Awards. Wolf 2 at the Game Awards its pretty much obvious at this point, and its a pretty classic Marcus Sellars move to say something obvious in an attempt for "leaker credit."
So I dont think this changes anything for or against Wolf 2. I just find it odd he would bring it up at all, but like I said, guy is fake, but I guess he's betting on Wolf 2.

Makes sense. When do actual VGA leaks start popping up? I almost never follow it when it comes on every year, but I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and say that it has a chance at getting leaked before something like, say, a Smash fighter pack.

Right about now is when these leaks start happening. For example a new Crash Bandicoot game and Resident Evil 3 Remake are basically confirmed to be there. Realistically I dont know if Wolf 2 will be leaked as its very small so not as many insiders know. If its gonna be leaked, it will probably be very close to the VGAs.

Cool. For any Dying Light players here who did not get the L4D weapons, Techland released a free DLC that entitles you to blueprints of all 3 of them (guitar, golf club, frying pan). Awesome move, TL.

I want Crash for Smash really bad too but sadly credible leakers, unlike Marcus Sellars, have said he wont be fighter 5. (However they didnt say they are hard deconfirmed, just they wont be number 5, so theres hope.)
Im really bummed RE character got deconfirmed though like damn I was really hoping for Leon.
Rumor has been that RE3 remake started development not long after 2 did so its been in the works for a while. Also just things in general like Capcom saying it will happen if asked for and how RE2 remake has areas that hint towards new RE3 remake stuff happening before the events of RE2.
Also the source of this leak is the same guy who leaked the From Software and George RR Martin colab so he is pretty credible. He didnt say it will 100% be at the Game Awards but based on how he is now heard it and a planned 2020 release, its highly likely to be there.
Resident Evil 3 Remake
Isn't that a little too quick considering RE2 just came out earlier in the year? Unless they were developing the two at the same time.
Pro: spent most of it playing Red Dead Redemption II, working on the challenges. Managed to beat Gambler 8 very easily despite it being troublesome for a lot of people online.
Con: Gambler 9 is an absolute bitch.
Pro: Got some work done on my custom tumblr theme. Not much, but I’d rather go slowly but surely than get a lot of work done and get stuck.
Con: There was something very wrong with the chicken nuggets I had for lunch. I definitely cooked them for the recommended amount of time but they felt, like, wet on the inside? So I gave the rest of them to my dog.
Pro: The two guinea pigs we’re taking care of for my sister’s friend seem less scared of me than they were 2-3 days ago. They were very skittish when I first met them but now they don’t mind me picking them up and holding them for small amounts of time.
Con: The guinea pigs smell really, really bad. When we had our own guinea pigs we kept them outside so it wasn’t too bad. But we’re keeping these in our bathtub and the ventilation in there is no good. I’ll clean their cage again tomorrow morning.
Pro: My university now offers free access to the Adobe Creative Cloud, so I was able to cancel my Photoshop subscription with no cancellation fee. Glad I saw the email about it because my next payment was literally today. Also glad I don’t have to go back to pirated Photoshop. And I also have access to Adobe Premiere now which is great because I have a plan for a video about TWAU that I want to make.
Con: I looked at the r/learnart subreddit and started to feel like shit about myself and how little drawing progress I’ve made over a year and a half. Some people have made more progress in 50 days than I have in 550+. I felt really silly about how much time I’d spent playing Dominoes today, and The Sims in the past few weeks.
I watched a couple or so episodes when I was staying at a hotel once. I actually thought it was alright. Writing was a bit cheesy and the english dubbing ranged from iffy to over-the-top but the action scenes were surprisingly well animated and the characters were weirdly charming. I'd say it's a decently fun monster of the week cartoon.
Shoot.
I don't mean to start another Star Wars debate, but...
"They fly now?!"
Excuse me? Stormtroopers on jetpacks is not new. Jetpacks aren't new.
I'm confused.
Not gonna lie the new TROS TV spot 'Fate' was pretty epic. Recommend watching it for sure.
I usually don't watch the TV Spots because I try to go in as blind as I can but people kept recommending it and I am glad I saw it.
After possibly spoiling Rise of the Skywalker for myself I'm tempted to finally get into fan fiction just to make a finale that could somewhat redeem the trilogy.
I literally just thought of a story in ten minutes
There was another guy who thought up a story in 10 minutes because he thought he could fix something. But you're gonna have to tell it to Zod's snapped neck.

I'd probably make some fans even more angry because the main theme would be "Kylo Ren semi-succeeds in destroying the past and changing his personality into unhindered emperor Anakin" right until near the end.
Also Carrie Fishers alive in my version and Leia has a bigger role because that is how it should be.
He would destroy the Millennium Falcon and severely damage R2D2 in the process

Watched Knives Out and I really really liked it! Daniel Craig, Chris Evans and Ana de Armas are the biggest standouts in an overall excellent cast. Daniel Craig is wonderfully over the top as Detective Benoit Blanc who is pretty much a southern version of Hercule Poirot from the Agatha Christie novels, Chris Evans plays a great douchebag character with Ransom which is hilarious considering his previous role as Captain America had him as a massive boyscout, and Ana de Armas just feels really earnest in her role of Marta and you do really feel for her character.
Most of the characters are huge assholes which is pretty funny. There's quite a number of subtle humour with the characters that reveal a lot about their relationships and their personalities, of course there were also a good amount of less subtle comedy that had my theatre and I laughing. I do think it starts out a little bit slow due to the set up but it doesn't take long for the movie to find its footing. The movie is just a lot of fun and overall very entertaining.
Probably going to get lynched but here are my story ideas for Rise of the Skywalker (would have to adjust some things to fit canon and make things make more sense, I don't know lore perfectly)
Slight KOTOR spoilers
Film has a several year time span.
Twist from The Last Jedi that Rey has no special parents is respected.
Boba Fett survives the Sarlacc pit in disney canon by stealing empire experimental transportation beforehand, however the technology left him with some brain damage causing to still be recognizable and competent as Boba Fett but with hallucinations. He ends up becoming a key player in the resistance after it's revealed he turned to the light sometime after OT (though it's implied he received somewhat of the Revan treatment for this to happen)
Boba Fett becomes almost a mentor to Poe and Finn. Chewbacca accompanies them.
Old Boba Fett may or may not battle with Kylo Ren at some point and wound Kylo
Rose tries to start a romance with Finn. Finn passively declines, knowing he could die any second.
Kylo Ren outright murders Rey in a duel a little less than halfway through the movie as
He has no emotional ties to mentors holding him back
He's at peak strength and training now, having trained rigorously since The Last Jedi (it's also revealed that Snoke intentionally manipulated Kylo to not reach his potential)
Palpatine may be assisting him
Though Rey is not out of the story. Movie becomes Kylo Ren's story from now on.
It turns out Rey's force bond with Kylo was a key factor in the light side tormenting him. After killing her he starts to slip to the dark side more easily, starting to reflect both Anakin and Palpatine.
It's also revealed Snoke was intentionally keeping him weak in areas as like Luke he had the potential to become as powerful as Anakin pre Vader, something Snoke especially feared given Kylo's volatile nature. With Snoke gone this becomes a reality, and Kylo is revealed to be a remarkably decent leader, refusing to micromanage the First Order's talent like Snoke did which severely limited their ability to expand. The First Order starts to conquer at a faster rate
Kylo Ren succeeds in destroying the millennium falcon. R2D2 is badly damaged C3P0 is miraculously unscathed from the crashed wreckage. Both are brought into the first order. Finn, Rose and Poe survive the wreckage though wounded. R2D2 is severely damaged. All of them are taken to the first order.
Hux is killed by force lightning as a power show by Kylo Ren, after Hux mocks Kylo that he'll never be Palpatine, let alone Snoke or Vader. The first order begins to fear Kylo.
Kylo Ren adopts a new two lightsaber style with both his and Anakin's repaired Saber. At some point in the movie his old saber is destroyed and he wields only Anakin's with a red crystal for the rest of the film. His personality also becomes more similar to Anakin.
Rey is shown in the force afterlife realm It turns out Palpatine has been influencing Kylo, Snoke, and the First Order from the force realm (though because he is dark side he does not have the same force ghost powers as light (not sure if dark side force ghosts are not possible in Disney canon) and that he was the one using both Kylo and Snoke as pawns to unleash apocalyptic wrath on the Galaxy.
Rey and Luke force ghosts duel with Palpatine evil force spirit and vanquish him.
(Carrie Fischer's alive in my alternate universe) Leia pleads with Kylo to turn back after they meet up at one point in her dying monents. Kylo refuses, telling her that he's too far gone; she responds with what Luke told her in TLJ. Kylo tells Leia he loves her. Leia smiles, about to say something but changes her mind and tells him she loves him too before passing.
Finn and Kylo meet up again. Kylo asks Finn what he had accomplished, telling him he's a nobody that escaped death and gained nothing from it, as the resistance is almost completely destroyed. Finn looks straight at him tells him he found people who love him and will never leave his side. Kylo flies into a rage and murders Finn. Rose and Finn scream in shock but escape
Rey is resurrected using the force for a short time while still having her wound. She races and sneaks into Kylo's Star Destroyer. She Rey mirrors Han's "BEN!" in The Force Awakens They duel again, Rey using Jedi mind tricks to transport the duel to several memories from Kylo's past, aggravating Kylo. Rey also mirrors Luke's combat style in The Last Jedi, focusing more on evasion. The final memory spot is on Jakku, where Kylo ran away from home once as a kid with a ship. This causes Kylo to freeze. Young Ben meets child Rey who asks what he's doing on Jakku. Being shy, Ben doesn't tell her his name, only saying he's a monster and needs to disappear. She tells him he's not a monster because he's just like her. She let's him stay at her living arrangement for a little bit knowing he'll be killed outside. Young Ben slips out in the night, cries because of her kindness, and flies back home.
Rey starts dying because of the force energy used to revive her. She tells Ben deep down she knew he was that kid she met on Jakku but didn't want to believe it. Ben knew about Rey the whole time (which is why he force chokes the general in The Force Awakens). Rey tells Ben that everyone on the other side knows he can still change. Ben realizes the horrors of what he's done and betrays the first order ship he's on, ordering it to self destruct and sabotaging several First Order squads before slipping out on his ship to an unknown planet
Rey becomes Ben's force ghost conscience/lover in Disney EU material
The First Order has effectively succeeded in conquering the galaxy and the resistance is destroyed. But Hux is dead, Ben has defacted and redeemed himself, almost certainly going to turn the tides back to the light in EU, and must learn to prove himself as a force teacher of a new bunch of young jedi, now called Skywalkers. Rose, Poe and Boba Fett are in the works of rebuilding the resistance.
End of the film has Ben Solo surrounded by the force ghosts of family and friends in an isolated woodland planet, preparing to find force sensitive potential Jedi to train. The final shot of Rise of the Skywalker is Ben Solo smiling joyfully.
...
(I think I just started trolling at some point but I don't know where)
I'd probably make some fans even more angry because the main theme would be "Kylo Ren semi-succeeds in destroying the past and changing his … morepersonality into unhindered emperor Anakin" right until near the end.
Also Carrie Fishers alive in my version and Leia has a bigger role because that is how it should be.
(Spoiler)
I bought a new PS3 because I miss my old days of the 7th gaming generation. Do you have any idea how it feels to witness your nostalgia once again? I'm playing GTA 4 right now because for some fucking reason, it's the only GTA game that isn't available on PS4. It's like Rockstar forgot it even existed. They didn't even do anything for it at its 10th year anniversary. It's much better than GTA 5 in regards of the storyline and characters.
It's December now, so the time of Christmas (if you celebrate it). Usually, it's a month of watching Christmas movies to get in the spirit. But... what about Christmas games??
It's a suuuper niche "genre" to set your games in, but apparently there's a nice handful out there. Here's what I found so far.
Saints Row IV DLC - How the Saints Saved Christmas
Viscera Cleanup Detail: Santa’s Rampage
Dead Rising 4
Tom Clancy’s The Division?
Considering I own only B:AO, and the Hitman reboot, I'll be playing those this holiday season. Though maybe some nice winter sales for the other stuff might pop up, too...
Most of the Christmas games I know of are retro:
Batman Returns (SNES)
Christmas NiGHTS (Sega Saturn)
Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (MSX)
Snatcher (Sega CD)

Can someone do me a huge favor? Someone please take New Jersey Devils head coach John Hynes, stuff him into a very large canon, and proceed to shoot him DIRECTLY INTO THE FUCKING SUN!!! I have seen a lot of terrible Devils teams the last several years, NOTHING compares to the shit show I have seen from them this year under this incompetent asshat!
This team has had the No. 1 pick in the NHL draft 2 of the last 3 years. They have a former MVP winner on their team in Taylor Hall. They have great prospects in the AHL. They signed a Russian phenom in Nikita Gusev. Their team is compiled of talented youngsters and NHL veterans alike. All things considered, this team should at least be somewhat competitive.
What I have seen from them is a team devoid of energy, motivation, leadership, accountability, urgency, vision, direction, competitiveness, and anything resembling a game plan. This team is a fucking shit show, and management is to fucking blame. Hynes has thrown his own fucking players under the bus for his failures as a coach, of course no one wants to play under him after that. If Hynes is not immediately fired after this game against the Sabres (in which they are currently losing 7-1, 5 of those goals came in the first fucking period), then they're a bigger fucking joke then I originally though. It was bad when they blew a 4-0 lead against the Winnipeg Jets on opening night. It was bad when they were being outscored by over 20 goals in the 3rd period over the season. It was bad when the team went 0-8 on the power play against the Rangers, while giving up 2 shorthanded goals (one of which was a 3-on-1, how the hell do you allow that when you have a man advantage?!). This, is an embarrassment. I'm a Devils fan till I die, but they are the New York Jets of the NHL.

ok posted in the correct place now
So this dont really mean shit because its Marcus Sellars (video game """""insider""""" who gets things wrong 19 out of 20 times, and mostly focuses on Nintendo stuff) but he posted this and I dont know why he would tweet this seeing how its not really in his realm.
Maybe he's trawling around communities and putting two and two together like we've been doing? idk, has he ever been right about something like this before?
Marcus Sellars is a joke, the only things he ever gets correct are things other people say before him. If anything he is probably just aware of Telltale's situation and knows how they are going to announce a game soon and its highly likely the Game Awards. Wolf 2 at the Game Awards its pretty much obvious at this point, and its a pretty classic Marcus Sellars move to say something obvious in an attempt for "leaker credit."
So I dont think this changes anything for or against Wolf 2. I just find it odd he would bring it up at all, but like I said, guy is fake, but I guess he's betting on Wolf 2.
Makes sense. When do actual VGA leaks start popping up? I almost never follow it when it comes on every year, but I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and say that it has a chance at getting leaked before something like, say, a Smash fighter pack.
What if they show nothing and they delay the reveal to next year, what would u do?
Right about now is when these leaks start happening. For example a new Crash Bandicoot game and Resident Evil 3 Remake are basically confirmed to be there. Realistically I dont know if Wolf 2 will be leaked as its very small so not as many insiders know. If its gonna be leaked, it will probably be very close to the VGAs.
Then we wait even longer

Crash for Smash too please?
Sony is clearly saving him for All-Stars Battle Royale 2.
Isn't that a little too quick considering RE2 just came out earlier in the year? Unless they were developing the two at the same time.
Watching a grave being desecrated has never been more adorable.
I want Crash for Smash really bad too but sadly credible leakers, unlike Marcus Sellars, have said he wont be fighter 5. (However they didnt say they are hard deconfirmed, just they wont be number 5, so theres hope.)

I usually don't watch the TV Spots because I try to go in as blind as I can but people kept recommending it and I am glad I saw it.
Yeah I wanted to avoid it but the instant I heard someone say they used that theme I had no choice but to watch it.
Lol I used something like this to cheat on my frickin media studies art magazine
I don’t think you should be watching this, RG 😧
Haven't checked around in so long. I hope y'all are doing alright!!
After possibly spoiling Rise of the Skywalker for myself I'm tempted to finally get into fan fiction just to make a finale that could somewhat redeem the trilogy.

Rey also mirrors Luke's combat style in The Last Jedi, focusing more on evasion. The final memory spot is on Jakku, where Kylo ran away from home once as a kid with a ship. This causes Kylo to freeze. Young Ben meets child Rey who asks what he's doing on Jakku. Being shy, Ben doesn't tell her his name, only saying he's a monster and needs to disappear. She tells him he's not a monster because he's just like her. She let's him stay at her living arrangement for a little bit knowing he'll be killed outside. Young Ben slips out in the night, cries because of her kindness, and flies back home.
Rey starts dying because of the force energy used to revive her. She tells Ben deep down she knew he was that kid she met on Jakku but didn't want to believe it. Ben knew about Rey the whole time (which is why he force chokes the general in The Force Awakens). Rey tells Ben that everyone on the other side knows he can still change. Ben realizes the horrors of what he's done and betrays the first order ship he's on, ordering it to self destruct and sabotaging several First Order squads before slipping out on his ship to an unknown planet
Rey becomes Ben's force ghost conscience/lover in Disney EU material
The First Order has effectively succeeded in conquering the galaxy and the resistance is destroyed. But Hux is dead, Ben has defacted and redeemed himself, almost certainly going to turn the tides back to the light in EU, and must learn to prove himself as a force teacher of a new bunch of young jedi, now called Skywalkers. Rose, Poe and Boba Fett are in the works of rebuilding the resistance.
End of the film has Ben Solo surrounded by the force ghosts of family and friends in an isolated woodland planet, preparing to find force sensitive potential Jedi to train. The final shot of Rise of the Skywalker is Ben Solo smiling joyfully.

I bought a new PS3 because I miss my old days of the 7th gaming generation. Do you have any idea how it feels to witness your nostalgia once again? I'm playing GTA 4 right now because for some fucking reason, it's the only GTA game that isn't available on PS4. It's like Rockstar forgot it even existed. They didn't even do anything for it at its 10th year anniversary. It's much better than GTA 5 in regards of the storyline and characters.
Why, what happened?
Isn’t that show targeted towards 4 year olds or something?
It's December now, so the time of Christmas (if you celebrate it). Usually, it's a month of watching Christmas movies to get in the spirit. But... what about Christmas games??
It's a suuuper niche "genre" to set your games in, but apparently there's a nice handful out there. Here's what I found so far.
Considering I own only B:AO, and the Hitman reboot, I'll be playing those this holiday season. Though maybe some nice winter sales for the other stuff might pop up, too...
Hm...the TV ratings says it's TV-Y7.
Most of the Christmas games I know of are retro:
Batman Returns (SNES)
Christmas NiGHTS (Sega Saturn)
Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (MSX)
Snatcher (Sega CD)
How could you forget elf bowling?
Can someone do me a huge favor? Someone please take New Jersey Devils head coach John Hynes, stuff him into a very large canon, and proceed to shoot him DIRECTLY INTO THE FUCKING SUN!!! I have seen a lot of terrible Devils teams the last several years, NOTHING compares to the shit show I have seen from them this year under this incompetent asshat!
This team has had the No. 1 pick in the NHL draft 2 of the last 3 years. They have a former MVP winner on their team in Taylor Hall. They have great prospects in the AHL. They signed a Russian phenom in Nikita Gusev. Their team is compiled of talented youngsters and NHL veterans alike. All things considered, this team should at least be somewhat competitive.
What I have seen from them is a team devoid of energy, motivation, leadership, accountability, urgency, vision, direction, competitiveness, and anything resembling a game plan. This team is a fucking shit show, and management is to fucking blame. Hynes has thrown his own fucking players under the bus for his failures as a coach, of course no one wants to play under him after that. If Hynes is not immediately fired after this game against the Sabres (in which they are currently losing 7-1, 5 of those goals came in the first fucking period), then they're a bigger fucking joke then I originally though. It was bad when they blew a 4-0 lead against the Winnipeg Jets on opening night. It was bad when they were being outscored by over 20 goals in the 3rd period over the season. It was bad when the team went 0-8 on the power play against the Rangers, while giving up 2 shorthanded goals (one of which was a 3-on-1, how the hell do you allow that when you have a man advantage?!). This, is an embarrassment. I'm a Devils fan till I die, but they are the New York Jets of the NHL.
