A new show "Voidburger's Hot Takeouts", kind of a video essay came out without any sort of pre-announcement and it's pretty good. https://www.giantbomb.com/shows/voidburgers-hot-takeouts-the-mario-bros-movie-should-be-canon/2970-21167/

Current earworm

Hollywood studios routinely screw filmmakers out of box office profit share by creative accounting. Equally you'd expect a contract should specify something like theatrical release and not leave it up to interpretation.

Just a couple of changes. ATS now over 200 hours, and Persona 4 enters the 100 hours club.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order I loved the exploration and getting around the levels, but don't enjoy the combat. Even less the fights against the larger creatures or boss fights.

Unfortunately I think people were posing questions without then looking it up, and guessing the answers. As far as I'm aware it was slated for Xbox One, PC and PS4. I think the Series X/S version was probably funded by MS after the acquisition. I'm really looking forward to it now the game is almost here. I liked the first one a lot, it was really fun and imaginative.

New Steam sale, new purchases. It's a sickness.

Looks pretty interesting.

Halo. I think the story/campaign is boring, I didn't like how it played, and I hate the multiplayer, but the sheer amount of customisation with the online modes/forge etc. was amazing and something to be admired. It's impact on the development of shooters, especially on consoles is undeniable.

It's a brilliant looking game, and starts well. Then halfway through it drops the stylish noir detective storyline and veers off onto something much less interesting, and just limps to damp squib of an ending. I'm glad I got to play via Game Pass rather than buying it.

Glad it's not another multiplayer GaaS title, and it looks kind of alright. I was already getting tired of those character lines all the way through combat just from the video.

Having now played 3, 4 and 5, I like this one best.

I played the free prologue chapter on Steam, it was pretty good.

Midnight Special is pretty good. I haven't seen the majority of that list, I don't watch a lot of films these days.

I just can't get over this ?

Great documentary of Double Fine's 2019 Amnesia Fortnight event, if you've got a couple of hours to spare.

Sunset Overdrive was the first game I played on Gamepass for PC. It's perfect for that service. It's a fun game, but the open world aspect of it was a little bare.

I have Soul Nomad. I remember liking it, but there were a lot of those kind of games on PS2 they do kind of blend together in my mind.

I watched The Mole Agent today. I was about to rent it on Prime but then found it free on iPlayer. I absolutely loved it.

Esports!

The Steam page for El Shaddai is certainly something https://store.steampowered.com/app/1581040/El_Shaddai_ASCENSION_OF_THE_METATRON/

I played this quite similar to how I did my main playthrough of the first game: minimal or no objective markers, mostly knocking out guards but not above killing where necessary. I find the alternative takedowns for the targets more interesting for the most part, so went non-lethal for all of those. For the longest while I was just using blink and a few gadgets, but I was getting far more runes than I knew what to do with, so eventually I unlocked possession and bonecharm crafting. I intend to do a playthrough with Emily at some point, and will make an effort to use some of the more aggressive powers. I was a massive fan of the first one, I loved this too.
