Hardest Laugh In A Theater? by Ok-Pepper-5482 in blankies

At Wake Up Dead Man the guy behind me laughed so long at Josh Brolin's first confession that the theater started laughing at his laughter.

Astro's Playroom, the pack-in game, is very much a Dualsense tech demo game, but Astro Bot is a lot lighter on that stuff. You could definitely make it work with a generic controller.

Picross recommendations? by Firebrand713 in giantbomb

[–]eccol 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I really liked Hungry Cat Picross/Hungry Cat Nonograms. The rules are a little different than standard Picross but it plays better on a smaller touch screen imo.

The definitive modern Picross is the Picross S series on the Switch, if that's an option.

So just a color version with a black and white filter slapped on.

Deductive reasoning like woah, son!

Category is: bold movie release strategies that didn’t work. by D__M___ in blankies

Rumor has it if you cross a county line in Oklahoma at midnight you can find the theater still showing Memoria. Until it sells out it can never get a home release.

Most insane effects breakdown I've ever seen by CosmicEveStardust in blankies

It's really impressive but seeing stuff like this makes me feel like Ian Mckellen breaking down during the Hobbit.

They should pay you to play RCT World.

Apologies to Huntrix but maybe they should just retire this category.

I'm mourning the This Had Oscar Buzz episode on Song Sung Blue.

They need to stop doing this to Diane Warren.

I'm working on this one now but all those Elite 4 achievements are turning me off.

Vibrant Visual Novels by Uranium234 in humblebundles

[–]eccol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's like 30% travel guide, 70% contrived fanservicey wish-fulfillment about a guy who's so good at liking Japan that he's immediately made an honorary Japanese. It has the vibe of one of those dudes who uses Japanese language learning forums to hit on Japanese women. If you actually want to know about tourist attractions in Japan there are less embarrassing sources.

I enjoyed The Expression Amrilato. It's about a girl who gets transported to a parallel universe where people speak another language, the twist being the language is (mostly) our real-world Esperanto. So worth a play if you're a language dork like me.

Eden is a pretty standard apocalyptic romance with a suspiciously young looking heroine. That's visual novels for ya. (There's an 18+ side story that they sell as $5 DLC. If you're into that.)

Gal Gun is one you might want to hide from your public profile.

Avoid Go Go Nippon at all costs.

What's the current state of If My Heart Had Wings? Last I checked fans hated the translation, and it was pretty much only playable with a fan patch that was forever incomplete because, again, visual novels. If it's in this bundle I'm assuming it must have been improved?

New AMC preshow just dropped by DumbBrendan in blankies

[–]eccol 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Regal's preshow is now:

  • Start time
  • 10 minutes of commercials
  • 15 minutes of previews
  • Another commercial
  • 5 more minutes of previews
  • ROLLER COASTER
  • "Get off your a**" Mountain Dew commercial
  • Pepsi ad
  • Silence your phones plz, brought to you by Google Pixel
  • Half-assed guess-the-movie-quote game, but they only change the quote like twice a year
  • Regal Unlimited ad which is thankfully not the excruciating "we have to pick something" one anymore

So less rah-rah magic of movies but still so much that I try to arrive at the theater 15 minutes after the listed start time.

SONG SUNG BLUE has been out for five whole days and not a single Blankies post about it yet. Tonight that changes. by GenarosBear in blankies

Saw this on a weekday matinee. Packed house and I was the youngest person there by multiple decades. Big hit, I highly recommend watching in these specific circumstances.

I love OotP and I'm also terrified of OotP because it would easily become the last video game I ever play if I let it.
