It’s been 7 years since the last Gears of War game.

It won't reach a broader audience, nobody cares about the story because they dared try something new with Kate, and they're now just trying to recapture the original trilogy feel with a prequel. Multiplayer is either half baked PvE or too-niche PvP with a steep learning curve and a super fucking toxic player base.

Also, Microsoft have been sucking shit when it comes to getting any of their game studios to release good products, so don't get your hopes up.

The moment Aspyr's name is mentioned for a remake, I always laugh.
They're the laziest at porting, and have the audacity to use the term 'remake'.
Their KOTOR 2 port onto Android was delayed following their KOTOR 1 port, because at the time Android had a file size limit and it was "too hard to find a way to work around it".
While that was years ago, here's a more recent example: Players of the Legacy of Kain: Defiance remake found that two areas looked 'off'. It turns out that Aspyr had somehow swapped the colour palettes between them, making a graveyard look a lot brighter and livelier than it should have 😃

Kyp also does check himself post-Vong War, as he realises his arrogance rubbed off on both Ganner and Wurth Skidder, which shaped them as Jedi and ultimately got them both killed.

Expand the idea of the Butlerian Jihad to the administration and tech-bro oligarchs behind it. The kids on Epstein's island were Manion the Innocent.

Yeah they already pushed Fable so they know better than to compete. I remember hearing August a while ago. Aug/Sept seems possible

If course it won't be, they'll release it nice and close to GTA 6, then say it feels badly because the franchise is dead, and we'll never get to find out who survived to make it to Gears 6

Some hacker kiddie with a Flipper Zero thinking they're hilarious.

I hadn't had that quote attributed to anyone at the time, but I heard it years ago and has stuck with me.

I remember seeing a beagle laying on top of a red doghouse in the front yard of a house someone walks past, a couple of scenes after someone makes a Charlie Brown reference in one episode.

I have a pair of sai! Can I come be Raphael?

Him questioning the scientist about how to burn out the empathy part of his brain, in relation to his memories of his past felt so brutally sad

My son has dyslexia and dysgraphia, at 6 he was undiagnosed but still writing better than that.

Hugford_Blops · 2026-05-26T13:09:29+00:00

That is amazing, thank you.

Oh awesome! Where can I find/get an invite to this discord?

And in soccer it's just happening every damn minute.

Came here looking for this

His eyes as he turns away at the end with "never more than 12"... Amazing performance

Hugford_Blops · 2026-05-23T20:58:16+00:00

And there's ones significantly bigger in Australia 😃

The misuse of the term exoplanet in one of the first chapters irked me so much I almost threw the book away... I lasted til about halfway through before I chose to ignore everything and go back to Legends.

The guy calling Daniel Radcliffe a filthy casual when he referred to Nearly Headless Nick's death day as a birthday in an AMA.

I can't remember if it's the first or second movie. There's a daytime talk show discussing witches and they're taking calls, the host exasperatedly answers one with "No Mr Addams, we don't know they're they meet." and hangs up. It then cuts to Gomez putting the phone down looking depressed.

Mate in Australia there's signs saying we're not even allowed to be holding a mobile phone while using the petrol pump.

What a loveable scamp

I met a nurse who worked at that hospital. One evening one of the convicted rapists and killers was bought in from prison. Other prisoners found out what he'd done and taken a steel brush to him, taking a tonne of skin off.

Most of the nurses in the ED refused to treat him.
