There's a new internet critic with only four videos that did a very good video on Umbrella Academy.
It's not a total endorsement, but if you hated the series or didn't give it a chance this might give you the perspective of someone who did. Heavy exploration of how the characters were affected by their abuse, and a great section where the critic analyzes every woman on the show's make up.

I remember watching some of his videos all the way back in the early Escapist days. It seems his production values haven't improved much since then.

This isn't even the first video where he's beaten that scare chord into the ground.

Wait they're making a moving of KotOR?




I guess I'll actually step in a theatre for the first time since becoming an adult and watch it so I can bitter about the things they did wrong from the game.

I don't think it's specifically a KotOR film, just a film that is taking place during the Old Republic setting/time frame. There's a bunch of comics and stuff in the setting that doesn't directly deal with Revan or The Exile.

get that OUT of my face posted:

I can see the bottom falling out of Star Wars pretty quickly, to the point where it could be a footnote in Disney's ever-growing catalog of IPs in a few years. It seems to resonate far less with kids these days than Marvel does. I'd go as far as to say the main audience for new Star Wars movies are millennials and Gen X, and it feels like it has a bigger following among the latter generation because we grew up with the prequels and increasingly CGI-filled redos of the classic trilogy, followed by years of critiques telling us how bad those were.

Also, Marvel has a treasure trove of storylines and characters to mine. While it's possible to make a Star Wars story that isn't the usual, it's hard. And they're not going to go to the extended universe because those have been declared to be non-canonical.

Star Wars does have some built in limitations that I think the EU was running up against (ie needing to contrive another major conflict for the story to revolve around so that the "Wars" in the franchise title makes sense). And I do wonder if Disney has any long term plans for how to diversity the potential stories that could spin out of it.

...So, here's something odd. True Geordie, person I've menshied various times in thread, has new podcast with total oval office:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVNXiNAS2tc

This is one of those weird ones where I'm interested in the content quite a bit, even though there's so much negative lol. I mean, Dan Bilzerian is Dan Bilzerian, guy who was born into fucktons of money and flaunts the poo poo out of it all. He's a complete oval office and basically proud of it -- you couldn't tell this loving dick nothing, because as far as he's concerned he doesn't even need to prove that he's some true alpha chadgod who swims in pussy and money and that's all there is to life. True Geordie can't help sucking his dick, and his partner Lawrence sits there in a kind of strange amused disgust. You can hardly identify with anything here, but there's still something enticing that makes you keep watching. Weird, lol. You'd almost want to be this fuckface for a day, just for the curiosity of it. What is it all about to be as big a rich oval office as Dan Bilzerian?

More accurately it would be the main character barely being able to survive Taris on account of being weak and easily killed, followed by instantly powering up massively when they became a Jedi, because you don't want to waste those level ups on the boring regular classes and save them all for the Jedi ones. Then the rest of the movie becomes a fun romp with lightsabers.

Jim Sterling tore into SolSeraph, which was hyped as being the grand return of ActRaiser. You know that he either hates a game or thinks that it's completely unremarkable when he goes off an a minute-plus tangent about other games. It also didn't help that he hurt himself trying to do a funny voice.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBwNIqWoUXk

Sure, it looks terrible, apparently controls terribly in the platformer parts, and seems to be a complete slog in the overworld/tower defense parts, but at least it's not teeming with microtransaction mechanics. That's how you know I've been watching too much Jim.

Yogscast CEO very sad he is a sex pest and decides to step down

Mark "Turps" Turpin posted:

Hi guys,

Just to let you know I’ve stepped down as CEO of the Yogscast. When I recently said we expected the highest levels of professionalism from our talent, I need to be held to those standards too.

I have sent some inappropriate messages to several members of our community and I’m deeply embarrassed about this error of judgement. There’s no justification or excuse for my behaviour. I was in a position of considerable responsibility and you all deserved better from me. If you’ve been upset by my actions, I’m very sorry.

Regretfully yours,

Turps

"Inappropriate messages" are allegedly showing off genitals in a video to a 17 year old girl amongst other things.

Gigguk made a great video about why you should watch Attack on Titan and catch up because it's really, really good, and the next season is going to be the final season and include everything up to the finale of the manga. Video has spoilers sprinkled throughout it for the first 3 seasons of AoT(does not explicitly spoil season 3.5 which just concluded outside of vague mentions), but only a couple really significant ones outright out of the dozens of major things that happen throughout the series.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KP1I78uRiDI&hd=1

It's a shame the anime had to take a 4 year break and thus grind the unbelievably strong hype train for the series to a near-total halt, but I'm glad word of mouth is really doing a great job of getting people back on board especially now.
