"when you die there will be no grave for you" goes insanely hard
Things the Elm Street franchise already has: -Incredibly clever initial premise -Sequels that people hated and are now highly praised -Legacy sequel with meta elements -Crossover fan service movie -Remake that missed the mark completely There is nothing new you can do with this franchise! Let it go!
‘A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET’ remake is in the works at Paramount. The film will adapt Wes Craven's original screenplay again.
Disco Elysium would have gone down different if this was the Sea Fortress
You could get mad about dead senator discourse *or* you could enjoy this video of sea lions who have retaken an island with a decommissioned lighthouse off the coast of Oregon and now use the staircase as a giant slide.
RIP Sam Neill Accidentally watched three movies in a row starring him earlier this year and was blown away by how much I liked him. An incredibly talented man, a real loss.

When Stranger Than Heaven was first announced it was the first time since Lost Judgment that I was excited about a new RGG game, but each time they show something off it gets more and more bizarre, and not in a good way! Feels like a humiliation ritual to be an RGG fan now
RGG Studio revealed a new trailer for Stranger Than Heaven, and best of all, Tupac is in it! Yes, Tupac Shakur! And we have a release date: January 15, 2027. https://bit.ly/43NacSO #IGNSummerOfGaming

Every time you see a public figure endorsing AI it ALWAYS turns out to be a thinly veiled promotion for their AI business Really disappointing news
I can’t express how disappointed I am. But here’s a second disappointment: Tokarczuk is a co-founder of a video game company that uses AI. This interview is her promoting the company (also why it was published in a business venue).
Absolutely loved Falling Animals, very excited about the next Sheila Armstrong!
We're thrilled to unveil the cover for The Red Mouth by Sheila Armstrong... From a rising star in literary fiction comes a story of two discoveries made deep in an Irish bogland, threading together four lives across time. The Red Mouth is out on July 2nd.
Big corpo fucking over an indie dev yet again I'm sure Clarke will bounce back from this but this really sucks
I've been to Japan three times: 2016, 2019, 2025 My 2025 trip was marred by livestreamers with selfie sticks and drunken pricks who were acting like they were in Benidorm I had to apologise to bartenders and locals constantly for tourists being disruptive, the phenomenon is real and it sucks
Japan's tourism troubles are being fuelled by social media assholes: aftermath.site/japan-overtour...
[NEW VIDEO] People keep telling me that "Silent Hill is back," but what does that really mean? What actually makes Silent Hill, well, Silent Hill? In this discussion, I talk about the recent SH projects and why I think not much has changed with Konami's poor management of the IP youtu.be/sBxAuGRLWNY
I Don't Know What Silent Hill is Anymore

Miyamoto talking about wanting to "revitalise" the film industry is the same way people in other industries talk down to video games. Absolutely bizarre quote, someone take his mic away please!
I just... Want to know what this MEANS. Is this a mistranslation? Has miyamoto been eating some wild propaganda? Like what the fuck does this MEAN dude

Fuck the BAFTAs for doing this I completely understand wanting to warn guests, but just WARN THEM THEN I hope this will end up giving The Quiet Things more publicity overall, but it still shouldn't have happened
An indie game developer says they were "devastated" after BAFTA pulled a planned trailer for their game with 24 hours' notice, citing its themes and insufficient time to warn viewers. vgc.news/news/indie-d...
I'm normally very pessimistic about video game films, but if anyone can make a cool zombie film named Resident Evil, I trust Cregger can do it
It's wild how many indie horror games are getting movie adaptations now Everything from FNAF to Night Shift, and now Home Safety Hotline I will be watching!
omg @slicknicklives.bsky.social @nightsignalentertainment.com Home Safety Hotline is getting a MOVIE 🥳 !!!!!!! A phone operator at a mysterious home security company, must protect customers from cryptids & monsters www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Gonna be controversial and say that while RE3make is not a good remake of RE3, it is one of the more fun modern REs No way in hell was it worth full price, but for less than a fiver you can play much worse Over COVID I used to play through it in one sitting whenever I was bored (which was a lot)
Resident Evil 3 (Steam) is $3.41 on Fanatical w/ code OMENVIP buff.ly/XmOuh7U #ad Deck playable
Sometimes I get a YouTube recommendation that makes me feel like I've gone back to the late 00's/early 10's when you would randomly be fed the messy life changing insane thing you've ever seen Anyways, this goes so unbelievably hard youtu.be/t7OIc-DBRXM

Speaking of Fatal Frame, can we bring back PS2 era voice acting where everyone sounds bored/like they're recording in their bedroom and don't want anyone else to hear? I really miss it
Finished my first ever playthrough of Fatal Frame. It's good! Definitely very janky, it's not as polished as some of its PS2 contemporaries, but I had fun with it. Excited to move on to 2, which I've heard much better things about.
"My books are about nothing but entertainment" is an... Interesting way to promote your work
Ah, so Andy Weir is like... *dumb* dumb gizmodo.com/andy-weir-st...
Looking forward to the RLM video in 8 months called "Fixing Our Newest Prop" and it'll start with footage of Rich Evans taking a bandsaw to this 3-P0 head
Entertainment memorabilia dealer Propstore sold a light-up C-3PO head from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back for just over $1 million at their spring live auction this week. https://bit.ly/4bC3y6L
To whoever it was on the Fatal Frame dev team who decided that first person mode that you use for combat should have camera on left stick and movement on right stick, what was your PROBLEM?! Everyone else did a great job, I think you should be locked up though
