13·2 days agoThey were fun, the first time. But how many iterations does someone need of the same game?
People complain about the latest game in a series like Tomb Raider or Assassin’s Creed going “OMG, IT’S JUST THE SAME THING AGAIN!” It’s literally a joke with Madden or Call of Duty, but for some reason Nintendo gets a pass.
It’s cool if you’re a kid and Breath of the Wild is the first Zelda game you ever played… For anyone else? Unless you have on the nostalgia goggles, there are better things out there.
2·3 days agoReminds me of an Australian zombie flick called Undead from 2003:
Vic and Blood man… I thought I was the only one who remembered that one!
Did you know that it was originally a short story by Harlan Ellison and a FILM in 1975 before Corben worked it into a comic?
The film is notable for starring an IMPOSSIBLY young Don Johnson (25 or 26 at the time of production).

Trailer:
Dark Horse has been collecting all the Corben material as a series of REALLY NICE hardcover graphic novels, I hope they get a shot at Vic and Blood.
(Den volumes 1-5, Murky World, Dimwood, Rowlf, Rat God, and the forthcoming Last Voyage of Sindbad, Best of Fantagor)

I’d also say, if you like that, check out the less serious film “Six String Samurai”.
Nintendo titles are, essentially, very good introductory video games. If you’ve played, well, pretty much any RPG, there’s no point playing Zelda or Pokemon. Same for fighting games and Smash Brothers or racing games and Mario Kart.
Everyone has to get started gaming somewhere, but beyond nostalgia? The rest of gaming has moved in from Nintendo.
Very good adaptation of the manga “Lone Wolf and Cub” by Kazuo Koike and Goseki Kojima written and drawn between 1970 to 1976.
It was hugely influential, spawning a number of films, notably two of which were combined into a single US release titled “Shogun Assassin” in 1980.
It would also serve as the basis for the graphic novel “Road to Perdition” by Max Allan Collins in 1998, which was also itself turned into a very good movie in 2002.
Nintendo Switch, I should have known better. Nintendo consoles are great for kids who are new to playing games, not so much for people who have been gaming for generations.
13·4 days agoCan’t you just run the agent remotely? 🤔
I kept my head down and worked through it, but yeah, it was scary. Lots of people saw their 401ks wiped out and I was like “First time?”
Finally! Of all the gaming companies, I think Sega is #2 behind EA on properties they own that they are doing fuck all with.
I’d love a current gen Burning Rangers, or Phantasy Star (not online).
It will be a great time to invest in the stock market.
People forget the 2008 crash. In March, 2009, before Obama policy was passed, the DOW bottomed out at 6,547.05.
It’s currently at 49,704.34.
If you had invested in an index fund back then, you would have earned 7.59x your money.

“Where do you see yourself in 5 years?”

It largely depends on the employer. In the US, I’ve been paid weekly, every other week, and monthly.
As for overtime, again, it depends on the employer and the jurisdiction.
Some employers absolutely forbid overtime. Federal requirements state anything over 40 hours in a week is paid at nothing less than 1.5x the hourly rate.
But some employers, states, and industries have their own rules. I worked at a place that paid OT for anything more than 10 hours in a day, or 40 hours in a week and paid double time for anything after the 7th day in a row.
Seems more likely to be controllers, not actual consoles.
Depends on the name. Stark, Wayne, Rand, Kent are all actual human names.
“Von Doom” - Yeah, you’ll have problems.
Based on the original trailer, they not only eliminated PvPvE, they also removed a whole character, “The Hood”.
OG trailer:
Very rarely do I just listen to music, typically only when I’m driving.
if you’re going to ask the question, the least you could do is link to a source…
