If it hurts their bottom line, they will drop that poo poo idea fast, it wouldn’t surprise me if they drop it this week. On bf1, get it, it still has a pretty big player base and you can find the complete edition pretty easy and cheap.

That's probably why they gave themselves the deadline of Dec 17 before smashing the purge button. Leaves enough room to do some impressive backflips.

I don't know how you can make a sequel or reboot to Shrek now in the wake of all the various Shrek/All Star memes that have made in the last few years.

Like, I feel like you couldn't make it work unless you made it some sort of surrealist horror film, and worked in the "it's all ogre now" line.

The first Shrek movie might have started a lot of negative trends in animated films, but it's a legitimately good movie when it's just riffing on fairy tales while telling its own story, and Shrek 2 is hilarious.

Is that on PC or PS4? I'm not super keen on playing FPS games on consoles, but it looks like you can get the Complete Edition real cheap for PS4.

I honestly liked the Jack and Jill convos as Jack was talking about the fact that he wanted to be a father. It felt like a nice little side story to the whole thing.

Shrek 2 is genuinely a hilarious and sweet movie, the reboot is gonna suck and probably just be cashing in on memes

it's still impressive to me that they managed to take a plot about dealing with married life, unsupportive in-laws, and racism and classism and build a funny movie around it that's clear in focus enough for kids to enjoy.

Kids today only know the parody versions of fairytales so nuShrek will be parodies of parodies. The film will be rendered with jpeg artifacts.

Since Shrek started as a parody of animated movies of the time and their worn, stupid tropes, I think it would be interesting is the Shrek reboot did that with modern cgi movies

That's the thing, kinda echoing that old video about why the Simpsons went downhill - Shrek stopped making fun of the animated movie zeitgeist because the animated movie zeitgeist has mostly shifted to be like Shrek.

The original was a middle finger at lazy Disney animated movies - the remake should be a middle finger at the lazy Disney live action "re-imaginings".

Show me a live-action trailer with a super-slow dramatic version of All-Star sung by Lana Del Ray and maybe they have the right idea.

DEEP STATE PLOT posted:

there's a growing number of these handheld console scams out there. the smach z immediately comes to mind. i'd argue that backing any handheld console on kickstarter or indiegogo at this point is a gigantic risk. actually after watching this i'd caution against supporting anything on indiegogo, they come out sounding exceptionally scummy too.

also i lmao'd at the unexpected ashens and fredrik knudsen at the end

Interesting update: So the video was taken down due to a legal threat based on someone's privacy. Given the video includes people who claimed they couldn't come to court out of a fear of their genitals being cut off, this involves either bogus threats or insane paranoia, you decide. Anyway, sounds like his solution is to fix the video to blur out the face...

...and upload it shortly to Larry Bundy Jr.'s channel for an even bigger audience :golfclap:

I'm assuming it was the whole Fire Emblem Fates mess which basically had two points of contention:
-a creepy touching minigame was removed
-the translation was extremely liberal when it came to characters, completely rewriting a few of them

Chuds, angry at the first point, latched onto the second and used it to get the female employee who managed the translation fired.

Oh, right. And it was the translators who re-wrote characters who started a whole website devoted to slagging Persona 5's localization (which was mostly fine except for a few stilted parts).

who, me?


As someone who initially thought most of the grousing about it was dumb until I went over most of it myself, the P5 localization is not "mostly fine." Entire scenes, entire characters come across weird and stilted as hell. It can be confusing and awkward at the best of times.

She wasn't even the translator or manager, as I recall, she worked PR for Treehouse.
