The character they’re referencing at one point uses the phrase "Obama-loving libtard".  

It’s pretty dumb though because the bad guys are a bunch of gun toting rednecks too, just more cultish. It’s basically just about a bunch of people they don’t like killing one another.

Yea that’s in the article  

I don’t plan on actually playing anyway lol all their games are the same shit more or less, and 3 is still the best.

I was going to make a comment about what I like about horror games is there's rarely any of these nonsense politics attached to them, but I remembered people were extremely angry about Resident Evil 5 and it's African zombies

African zombies in Africa?! THE FUCK IS THIS BULLSHIT

[ColonelKillaBee]

 

Well I still remember when they tried arguing Shaka Zulu was white.

Basically, black people don’t exist. And Michael Jordan was white too.

Fuck me this was a weird nostalgia trip. I remember the 2008 theme, on my 2006 model 360

Strange opinion but I'll always like the original Xbox startup and dash screen the most.

Meanwhile, in Ukraine...

With the PC ports so tantalizingly close I just have to relive some old nostalgia by rewatching the rare as all fuck designer commentaries for Halo CE and 2. Really unfortunate how things fell apart between those three.

For some fucking reason, steam posted this weird fucking art image on the storefront, with Gabe Newell hiding behind a cash register, a bunch of tentacles attacking the store, and fucking Sekiro coming in to save Gabe Newell  People are trying to figure out what it means.

Still one of my favorite scenes of any movie.

Mandalorian episode 4 spoilers

 

Imo this episode was probably the weakest in writing but the strongest in character development. Not that the writing was bad overall. The story was a classic and a lot of fun. I enjoyed watching them kick back in a slower, more 'peaceful' setting for a bit after the intensity of the last two weeks. And in 20 minutes I cared more about that village than I ever did about the ewoks.  The former rebel chick was pretty cool too.

Best part was the AT-ST though.  This show just keeps on taking shit that the movies told us were awesome but then made kinda lame, and actually making those things terrifying and imposing like they're supposed to be. In RotJ the walkers felt like they were made of cardboard, but this was some straight up War of the Worlds shit. It retroactively makes the Empire seem way more intimidating knowing that they had thousands of these unstoppable behemoths that can singlehandedly level a town.

It was the weakest but in no sense of the word bad. The show continues to amaze

[ColonelKillaBee]

Yea it was pretty average as far as what happened but the action was awesome, and I enjoyed it. Celan did too

Yeah, when the worst writing so far is shit like "why didn't they explain where the woman learned to shoot?" compared to the clusterfuck of inconsistencies in the last main series movie, I'm inclined to be pretty forgiving.  

I think most of the stuff in this episode might've been improved by a few additional lines. Like have Mando mention that they should be out of range of the tracking fobs on this planet so he doesn't just assume it's safe to leave the child there unguarded. That way instead of forgetful, he's just wrong. But overall, it's not like anything was blatantly a plot hole. Just not well explained. But it was still very good and tons of fun.

Exactly. And average for this show so far has been pretty damn great.  

Even though I assumed the child was safe, the part where the bounty hunter scoped in on him and a shot rang out made my heart stop for a second. That shit was so intense.

[ColonelKillaBee]

I was never in it for the writing anyway and am surprised when it’s good so that didn’t bother me, it’s Star Wars lol, was always in it for the action.

Not to say anyone else is or isn’t in it for writing of course.

That's a very fair stance.
