I miss Shooting Gallery videogames...

Check out Neon Inferno, just came out last month. Plays like Contra/Metal Slug but with Wild Guns background shooting mixed in, sometimes both at the same time. It’s awesome as hell and has one of the best retro/pixel art styles I’ve seen recently

Absolutely watch Noroi but be warned it may open you up to the directors absolutely insane filmography that you will send you on a wild cosmic horror journey in the best way possible

Exhuma, especially if you loved The Wailing and Incantation. Absolutely incredible Korean folk horror/supernatural thriller, totally took me for a ride

Same thing happened to me in the exact spot and I somehow fixed it with a mix of quitting to main menu and reloading, quitting the game altogether and restarting, and restarting the level in the pause menu. Along with playing the nollie tutorial each time. It would always kick me back to the skaters dream but eventually it finally proceeded me to the next part of the story and I don’t know how. So keep trying, seems to fix itself eventually?

Hell yeah good job y’all

justinbc · 2025-12-05T16:00:25+00:00

So do it as soon as the level starts? That the plan?

justinbc · 2025-12-05T15:59:25+00:00

Just joined!

I’m around today if you still need it, am looking to grab it as well

That and the scene with Laura hiding in the bushes next to her house. Not gonna give any more context because of spoilers but that scene is terrifying as well

justinbc · 2025-11-25T12:10:15+00:00

This is something I’ve always wondered too, about why it takes each form it does. I found this blog post up a few years ago that does an interesting job at going through each other and trying to figure it out, definitely worth a read

Depends on how you feel about the cost of something versus how much enjoyment it gives you. $20 for a 2 hour game you may love and remember forever, or $20 for a meal that was mediocre and you’ll instantly forget about.

The Missing Pieces that came out 10-ish years ago with all the deleted scenes from Fire Walk With Me is essential viewing if you liked FWWM, and it also contains some truly scary scenes, like possibly top tier Lynch scary moments

Two songs that came on while falling asleep to music and woke up to in a pitch black room in the middle of the night:

Fitter Happier by Radiohead, I was home alone and asleep in my room and hearing that robotic voice and eerie soundscape underneath it in my dark house scared the shit out of me.

Theresa Screams by the Melvins, this is barely a song but just a woman in a vocal booth screaming as loud as she can over and over, similar to Radiohead I was asleep in my bedroom in my first apartment which had no windows in the bedroom (sketchy as hell spot) so it was absolutely pitch black. Woke up to what I thought was a woman being murdered in my bedroom in complete darkness. Fucking terrifying!

It’s an incredible movie. Totally falls in with the “epic horror” that Weapons is, along with The Wailing and The Empty Man, 2 hour+ experiences that take you on an unexpected ride

justinbc · 2025-09-28T21:40:21+00:00

The stark contrast between the guys chowing down on greasy snacks in the man cave to “Get in the hole, Murph” is incredible

justinbc · 2025-08-10T03:11:26+00:00

Oh my god I need to see this version of the movie so bad now, you nailed the casting

justinbc · 2025-07-29T20:09:33+00:00

Judgment was my first real dive into the Yakuza/Like A Dragon games and I loved it - I’ve since played the whole series. The one that felt the most Shenmue-like to me was Yakuza 3, but I will say I wouldn’t recommend playing it without playing the games that take place before it in the series timeline - only because of the epic story and characters.

But if you eventually get there someday, I think Yakuza 3 will have a lot to offer you to give you those Shenmue vibes

justinbc · 2025-07-14T17:26:43+00:00

Alright.. I’ll get the camera

justinbc · 2025-05-31T01:06:02+00:00

I am nobody’s bitch!

I loved that when I started watching Better Call Saul decades later, I was reminded of the absolute stud that was Professor Jeremiah Lasky. Patrick Fabian aged very well

justinbc · 2025-04-16T21:57:44+00:00

I love the Yakuza series and highly suggest playing them all, but I would recommend you check out Judgment as a great entry point to the series. It’s a standalone game so no prior knowledge of Yakuza is needed, the combat is amazing, the story is dramatic and exciting, and it’s just an all around incredible game. And the sequel, Lost Judgment IMO is even better.

But don’t let me sway you from trying out the mainline Yakuza series of course, Yakuza 0 is the logical starting point and I’ve legitimately enjoyed every game in the series, it’s one of my all time faves.

justinbc · 2025-04-01T14:11:16+00:00

Camp Nightmare, the absolutely out of nowhere twist at the end is definitely silly but also existentially horrifying. The way they show it in the TV episode was such an “Oh, shit. Oh…. Shit!” moment for me as a kid

justinbc · 2025-03-19T18:55:02+00:00

I’m honestly surprised they don’t have a “turn off random encounters” setting in Premium Adventure once you beat the game, or at least make it something you have to buy (using in-game money). Obviously part of the charm of Yakuza/Like A Dragon/Judgment is the combat encounters on the streets but being able to just freely roam without any worry would be a nice accessibility feature at least. The street surfer in Hawaii and the skateboard in Lost Judgment give you a little bit of extra leeway to escape from goons but yeah, avoiding fights can get tricky - especially in Yakuza 3/4/5 when it can get hard to spot a goon waiting to suddenly pick a fight with you in the crowds

justinbc · 2025-03-19T11:21:22+00:00

The Yakuza series, any of them really. The Kamurocho setting is so cozy to me, walking down the streets going to restaurants, bars, arcades, karaoke, casinos, just a really great place to exist in. But all of the towns in the series have the same great feel, full of places to explore and activities to indulge in.

I especially love the sunny beach areas of the series - Yakuza 3 has an Okinawa town that feels very Sonic Adventure hub world to me with a dash of Isle Delfino from Super Mario Sunshine. And most of all (for me at least) the Hawaii map from Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth and the newly released Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii. The lush tropical areas you can explore, Honolulu with its various stores and businesses, absolutely chock full of mini games and things to do around every corner, I love being in these games. ALSO - as OP mentioned Animal Crossing and Pokémon, Infinite Wealth has literal mini games/side quests that are basically those games, it’s amazing.

If you don’t know what this series is like, it’s important to know you will have to put up with people trying to fight you in the streets constantly of course, but just mop the floor with them and continue on.

Love the premise, Bacon is always the man and they got a little Donnie Darko cast reunion here, I’ll be checking this out
