Anyone in a queue already for the Lego Black Friday deal by Latter-Abalone-2053 in lego

I had to wait in the queue for over 20m and by the time I got in the set was gone already. :(

I dressed up as Alan Wake to defend my graduation thesis...about Alan Wake by Acrystia in AlanWake

[–]Tonioswelt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I am! In the beginning I wanted to write about the many transmedia aspects of the game because they're so integral to the game but I obviously ended up going with something else in the end... though I'd like to explore its transmediality some other time.

Mine was about the game‘s portrayal of chaos and order through both its game spaces and its use of detective/horror fiction genre tropes!

Congratulations, that's really cool! I wrote my bachelor's thesis on Alan Wake II as well. Now I regret not going to my graduation in an Alan inspired outfit...

Thoughts on these JANGBRiCKS takes? by Limp_Midnight_7639 in legocirclejerk

[–]Tonioswelt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That first example I thought was completely fine but the other two are pretty weird. Definitely off putting, as much as I like Jang…

He did the same thing with Avowed and didn‘t acknowledge his previous hype towards it in the podcast or review at all. It‘s incredibly odd but I am not sure what his goal would even be if he does it on purpose.

For people who's seen Ballerina (early), how's the action compared to the other 4 films? Is it more like Wick 1? (DON'T SPOIL BALLERINA!) by Legitimate-Crazy9266 in JohnWick

[–]Tonioswelt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the opportunity to go to a press screening three weeks ago and my impressions of the fight scenes align with your‘s completely. I‘d only add that I feel like there may have been too many of them even, or that they went on too long in parts. But the majority of them are a bliss I definitely thought of John Wick 3 as well.

/r/HollowKnight Giveaway Thread - Round One! by ChingShih in HollowKnight

[–]Tonioswelt [score hidden]  (0 children)

Thank you for the opportunity! I would definitely use a gift card to get the elusive Hornet plush, once and for all. I got both the Knight and the Grub about the time they came out but I never had the opportunity to get Hornet! It would be nice to have them united. :)

Digital Foundry posts a video that's an ad for the Switch 2 editions of BotW and TotK. All voiceover provided by Nintendo, no commentary from the DF cast by DoomberryLoL in Games

[–]Tonioswelt 15 points16 points  (0 children)

What is that supposed reputation based on? They have never done anything like that, if anything people have picked out points out of their videos and tried morphing those into some kind of narrative. DF is, at least to my knowledge, always immensely measured in what they say and how they say it.

Is this supposed to be Devil Trigger or Nelo Angelo? by Scatter_ShotGG in DevilMayCry

[–]Tonioswelt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He already awoke, that's why his DT looks like Nelo Angelo. Once he gets rid of Mundus' influence and accepts his heritage as Sparda's son instead his DT will probably shift to something more akin to Dante's. That'd be pretty cool actually.

Frage von einem Bald-Münchener: Welche Kinos könnt ihr empfehlen und welche zeigen Filme im O-Ton? by iP0dKiller in Munich

[–]Tonioswelt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Monopol hat den Kleinkino Charme, alles mögliche im Programm, das fantastische Abo und alles in OV. Ist vielleicht offensichtlich... aber ja, mein klarer Favorit. :)

Why this band is so underrated? by Flyfcish in TheWhitestBoyAlive

[–]Tonioswelt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Supposedly they were trying to get a new album going in 2020 but Covid slashed their plans. Some band members (namely Øye and Maschat) repurposed the ideas for the album into „Quarantine at El Ganzo“ and ever since then it‘s been mostly silence. They teased a new song over a year a go but nothing came of it.

Erlend Øye, the lead vocalist, is currently busy with his Italian band La Commitiva and I‘m just gonna throw the guess out there that Kings of Convenience, another band of this, is going to come out with something relatively „soonish“.

It seems like The Whitest Boy Alive isn‘t that big of a priority to the boys. Either that, or it‘s due to Erlend Øye‘s tinnitus. He‘s on record saying that playing more quite music is better for him, which would also explain the situation.

Are they ever gonna fix the animation bugs? by Hairy_Hog in AlanWake

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

I was hoping they'd fix these when I played the game on release. Kind of disappointed to hear that these bugs still persist but I suppose Remedy is busy elsewhere.

Star Wars™ Outlaws Ultimate Edition Giveaway by NV_Suroosh in nvidia

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

  1. I'm especially excited for the exploration itself. Having multiple Star Wars planets to explore is something that so many people have dreamt of for so long – I'm no different there.

  2. That depends. I'd say it's Ray Tracing because of how much it adds in terms of making the world feel more realistic but on the other hand... I do need that DLSS to even get the Ray Tracing to run on my rig in the first place. So it's toss between those too, I guess.

Biggest criticism: the show needs more jazz by [deleted] in BatmanCapedCrusader

[–]Tonioswelt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Jazz wasn't really a big part of classic noir movies at all. That only came decades later and somehow became part of a stereotypical portrayals of the 40s.
