  • This is the game that put me off preordering forever. I got it just as it came out and it was SHIIIIIIIIIIT. After starting the game I would get 15 minutes of “xXBlazeIt420Xx beat your score on (some shit challenge)” scrolling up the side of the screen. I’d understand if it just told me my friends had beaten me, but it felt like telling me the whole world had.

    Then there was the memory optimisation… Start a flying challenge, fuck it up, restart… IT TOOK OVER A MINUTE to load back to the start of the challenge.

    If that wasn’t enough, the world just felt empty compared to JC2. There were vast areas of nothing but fields between towns and it sucked. I put it down a week after buying and never picked it up again.


  • I am well aware of the Hero’s Journey and have no issue with its popularity, but my problem is when it gets incredibly lazy, as large film studios with a franchise to pump out often do. It’s not interesting to have character with single trait who goes through a predictable arc with pointless or missing sub-plots just to end up at typical ending, yet that’s what we end up with fairly often.

    Give me hints of backstory, three-dimensional characters and a story quandary that creates inner turmoil in the characters that actually makes sense. Throw out the first five drafts and come up with something clever that the audience didn’t immediately think of. Is that really so much to ask?


  • Now now people let’s calm down. Techocrit is obviously new to this and is unaware of how to seed subversion without outing himself in such a blatant manner. Let’s all just agree that at least he tried, and say better luck next time.

    Perhaps some subtlety, and some actually believable anacdotes are needed? Or perhaps you should start off with a dumber audience, like Facebook for example? Your handlers clearly didn’t prepare you properly for this assignment.

    Unfortunately, with all that said, I would not be doing my duty without also saying: Fuck off dickhead, try hopping into a bath with a live appliance.





  • I enjoyed her in Super Hero Girls where she came across as more annoyed that she had to do anything rather than apathetic. I know it was a kids cartoon but it was still good. I fear this movie will instead showcase her as an apathetic shit head who doesn’t care about anything until big moment or love interest etc occurs and then she’ll learn her lesson yada yada.

    Hollywood can be so boringly predictable it makes me apathetic myself.





  • This might be too niche for anyone here, but Ronny Dahl.

    He used to make good videos on four wheel driving in Australia, with good gear tips and longer form camping trips with his friends. Well, either he started editing his videos alone or stopped taking his meds or something, but now every video is quick cuts, stupid voice effects, stories that build into nothingburgers or intermingled stories that have nothing to do with each other and just get confusing. I also notice those friends he used to camp with aren’t in his videos any more, so that’s probably saying something.

    At least I still have the 4WD 24/7 guys (although I don’t really like the “next generation” they’re trying to bring in).
