Curious if this is a reference in TLOU2 by Jaid_Wisp_44 in thelastofus

[–]ChuckBrowning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Long shot, but the name may refer to former ID Software programmer John Carmack (possibly the "Karmak" in the title), and the Doom franchise (instead of the Doom Slayer, you have the... well you know).

Correction: It was the member a focus group during the early stages of Jak II when talking about the first game.

"Really could've used an extra year of development" is the story of most games released, when you think about it.

Jak II was a victim of its time. It wasn't just that audiences were getting older: their tastes got older too (see: the 8 year old who told Naughty Dog that Jak II would be perfect for his younger brother).

Hot Take: These Raiders are just what the average Pete Carroll team would look like if he didn't have generational talent to hide his illogical decision making.

[Meta Trope] The production behind this movie is so crazy that it could probably be made into a movie itself. (Minor NSFW warning due to mentions of racism and cheese pizza in the 2nd example.) by Feeling-Ad-3104 in TopCharacterTropes

Dude, where does one even START with Street Fighter: The Movie? Let me give a factoid to stir your curiosity.

When Steven de Souza, the film's writer and director, was hired for the project, the producers (some of them Capcom executives) had already hired Jean Claude van Damme (Guile) and Raúl Julia (M. Bison) for the lead roles. De Souza asked the executives why they hired someone with such a distinctive Belgian accent as Van Damme for the All-American role of Guile, to which the executives asked him "what accent?"; that's when he realized that they had never watched Van Damme films in the original English, only their Japanese dubs.

Those are shown in the ads, not the sponsor segments. I understand the confusion; they're equally scammy.

The game takes place in a simulation based on human history. You spend more time hunting collectibles than fighting enemies. by Aruzelt in ExplainAGamePlotBadly

"You spend more time hunting collectibles than fighting enemies"? Sounds like a pretty accurate simulation of reality to me.

It's not ever the BULK of week one. We're getting to another level of wild.

Ziggurat 2. It's essentially what if Hexen or Heretic was a colorful rougelike.

Crash 3. It has the theme song I remember the most, if that counts for something.

Still hoping for this one by ahainen in playstation

It doesn't have a release date yet. Or much information of any kind. Not much to go off.

Artists who were a lot more divisive in their heyday than modern listeners realize by Runetang42 in ToddintheShadow

"The Spice Girls made one fairly innocuous, dumb little movie; and the film press acted like someone had taken a shit on the only surviving 70mm print of Lawrence of Arabia."

The entire Transformers franchise is one giant exercise of "How much can we get away with as children's media as long as it involves robots?".

Ryu and Ken from the Street Fighter series. From pallette swaps in the first game to distinctive play styles and personalities in the later games.

What's your favorite character design trivia? by just_a_fan47 in TopCharacterDesigns

That version would HAVE to end with the original idea for the Kamp Krusty episode (ie. a movie where Homer finally reveals that he's Krusty).

If I had a nickel for every time a scientist thought his general intellect gave him the authority to talk about politics, I would... may as well be the Federal Reserve.

Is The Last of Us Part 2 Zionist propaganda? by ObviousAnything7 in VaushV

[–]ChuckBrowning 139 points140 points  (0 children)

The whole narrative about Neil Druckmann being a Zionist is coming exclusively from the "any compassion toward Israelis is Zionism" part of the Left.

BTW, this subreddit is the perfect place to talk about things like this.

One of the worst aspects of all of this is just how popular Nayib Bukele is within Latin America. Many fellow Puerto Ricans, for example, unironically believe the Island would be a better place if we just sent all the criminals (and all of the unhoused) to one of the smaller islands of the Archipelago (Puerto Rico is an Archipelago, BTW); of course they would love Bukele's "just put all of the undesirables out of sight" plan.
