Releasing a Half-Life game that isn’t 3 is just a complete insult, frankly.

I’m playing The Outer Wilds mate. And it’s pretty good!

Martin Lawrence just looks depressed.

To Scott:

The movie looks great and is a masterpiece of puppetry, but really isn’t a very good film despite that. It’s just an extremely straightforward hero’s journey with few interesting characters (pretty much just the Chamberlain). The series is a huge improvement in this regard - genuinely a show that rivals something like Game of Thrones or The Expanse in terms of its characters and factions with different agendas, but somehow remaining child-friendly. it’s an incredible achievement.

Played it for a few hours today, it’s pretty good so far. Though it’s all set in America, it seems to be heavily inspired by a real-life event that happened in the UK. Though maybe there’s more stories in it because after just an hour or two of fairly straightforward searches I found what seemed to be a pretty explicit ending with a bit of a summary of what happened.

Yeah, I basically assume our only option will be to pirate these shows come November or whenever they launch in the US.

Annapurna was founded by Ellison’s daughter. Guess how she could afford it? So it was always basically owned by Ellison.

Annapurna is basically Ellison’s vanity project for his daughter, and it costs a drop in the ocean compared to his many billions of dollars. It will probably never make money. It’s just a way to make some cool films and games, which is one of the better ways a billionaire has spent his money.

Probably. They said in the secret message hidden in the E3 trailer that the demo they showed journos there would be shown to the public at Gamescom or PAX.

Death Stranding is coming up.

KEIGHLEY SAID SHADOW DROP

Apparently Sony has just announced they’ve bought Insomniac games.

By the way, this July I happened to be in Oxford Circus on the day the new Microsoft shop opened, so I thought I’d pop in and check it out. Anyway, while I was in there I saw both John Boyega and most excitingly of all, Major Nelson himself, milling about. That’s my exciting Microsoft story.
