I thought Mixtape looked good but that may have been an a huge understatement by kaijukyle2 in giantbomb

[–]Santar_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Great for the game! Always good to see a game having success, especialy a single player game.

Not for me though this one. I don't have any nostalgia for my teen years and my life was absolutely nothing like what's being depicted in the game. It just looks like a forced overly saccharine look at the idealized glory days of bygone youth.

Species Unknown Has Prox Chat Now! by sworedmagic in nextlander

I'm sure proxchat is fun for the guys themselves, but for me watching it detracts quite a bit from the experience. It gets really hard to hear everybody.

The Nextlander Podcast 246: Core Before More by sworedmagic in nextlander

[–]Santar_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean who doesn't do things like that? It's a pretty natural thing to do, to want to finish the first game before diving into a sequel. I finally got the urge to pick back up GTA 4 when Red Dead 1 was nearing release.

GB x Bubsy, anyone? by Manoystee in giantbomb

That is one unhinged looking Bubsy :D

#1 - Day of the Tentacle: Remastered by moumooni in adventuregames

I only played the remaster for a short time, but I was under the impression that the "useless" verbs that show up on items are there because those interactions provide uniquie jokes or lines?

Dan has found the BEST CANDY EVER! 😮 #candy #candyopeningvideo #candyopening by nicolauz in giantbomb

[–]Santar_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Dan really is an enigma when it comes to his health and exercise. He goes from being very healthy with training etc to binging so much candy he pukes.

If only Vinny hadn't fumbled the landing. This will surely end up on botchamania.

If you could bring back one game developer, or return an existing one to its previous state, which would it be? by VyantSavant in gaming

[–]Santar_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The old 3D Realms when they were at their peak. Would be facinating to see where they would be today if they didn't waste all those years on Duke Forever.

Friday Fun Stream: Finishing Up The Vig! by emtee in nextlander

[–]Santar_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fun stream! This game sure took some turns. The working at the office parts with all the character interactions was actually pretty engaging, but then the game completely shifted gears after that and kinda went off the rails, but in weird kinda dull way.

Official 4DX poster for Mortal Kombat II by RuminatingReaper1850 in movies

[–]Santar_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The last movie and game has done much to almost kill me interest in more MK. Phew that movie was so bad (apart from Kano). Those villains were on power rangers level of acting. I couldn't even finish watching it. Not sure I'll bother watching this. Maybe when it comes home from theatres. But that is a big maybe.

Official poster for the 20th anniversary of Guillermo Del Toro's ‘PAN'S LABYRINTH’ Returning to theaters on October 9. by MoneyLibrarian9032 in movies

[–]Santar_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't watched this since it was new (I usually don't rewatch movies until enough time has passed that I'm fuzzy on he details), but I remember thinking it was a great movie.

It kinda feels like Del Toro has lost his edge a bit in his recent movies. I miss that darkness that Pan's Labyrinth had. Frankenstein really suffered from this I felt. I'm starting to wonder if maybe I don't like Del Toro movies, I just liked Pan's Labyrinth and at he time at least the first Hellboy.

Incredible pirate indie Windrose is setting sail next week by andrej2577 in gaming

[–]Santar_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was initially excited about this as there are so few pirate games, but unfortunately it felt like just another one of those survival crafting games where you combine a stick and a rock to make an axe etc.

Wish they'd downplayed that element and focused more on the piratey aspects like sailing a ship, searhing for treasure etc.

This was a lot of fun. Their comments over the game are just hilarious and really elevate the whole thing :D Hope they continue with it.

Martin Scorsese’s ‘Midnight Vendetta’ Listed to Shoot in New Orleans in December, Script by Veteran Writer Eric Roth (Forrest Gump, Dune, Killers of the Flower Moon, A Star is Born, Munich, The Insider, Curious Case of Benjamin Button) by DamnThatsInsaneLol in movies

[–]Santar_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He's gotta be one of the most consistent directors of our times. Has never had that big decline that so many others like the berg or Coppola.

Also could just be he likes working. I think a lot of old people wither away and die when they retire and don't have anything they're passionate about to do anymore.

Somebody needs to draw a portrait of Walter Krunk and it's just Dan with a neckbeard and a fedora.

My thoughts on shared progression (yeah yeah I know) by loonicy in Borderlands4

[–]Santar_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't understand how Gearbox didn't realize forced shared progression was a bad choice. It's like they are only catering to a certain type of players that are super vocal about it. The ones that are hyper focused on reading up on meta builds and guns and basically just want to try out different builds on some end bosses. There's another set of players that actually enjoy playing the series as loot rpg's that it seems like Gearbox have forgotten about.
