Looking forward to seeing this, I used to watch the show a lot. With that said, it's fascinating to see documentaries being more self distributed lately, especially for long form ones ibidyoupeace.com?utm_source=m...

it's good they're doing the mostly game accurate thing for the Street Fighter movie because the people who've been complaining about that sort of thing since the '90s can finally see once and for all if that was a good idea or not. it probably wasn't, but they should get to see the theory tested.
god, you guys, just buy the indie game that looks kinda cool. don't play the demo, don't agonize over the reviews or wishlist, JUST BUY THE INDIE GAME!! if you didn't like it, oh well, whatever, maybe next time, meanwhile you supported an artist, thanks for coming to the gig, want a t-shirt?

Saw the Spiderman movie a second time and enjoyed it even more. I've been noticing this pattern where I need to watch a movie twice to really see if I liked it or not. I think it's because I go into the second viewing with proper expectations?

There should absolutely be a documentary about This Is Vegas and all the shenanigans around it (someone run with this, I'll help however I can). I've heard so many insane stories about it
Steve Bowler@gameism.bsky.social · last mo.We have OVERDELIVERED Is my most favorite quote from the exec reviews about This is Vegas lol Note: they did not, in fact, overdeliver
Someone out there is looking at the source code for "This Is Vegas"
Tamoor Hussain@tamoorh.com · last mo.Just a PSA for all the other major publishers: You can’t make a GTA 6. Don’t have any meetings about it. Don’t put together any pitch decks. Don’t preemptively doom your workforce and the industry any further than you already have. Leave it alone.
