Gorn Myson posted:It gets really good in the second series, then it gets kind of stagnant in later ones. Then again, I'm someone who thinks that the entire show should be considered an all time great purely for the way Johnson pronounces "Frankfurt". Yeah, it's very funny but is also one of those shows that should be half as long as it is.

Every show should be as short as Nathan Barley. 4-8 episodes is all one show needs.

Is Kojima taking Metal Gear with him or is that owned by Konami?

No of course it won't. Konami will keep making them until they are unprofitable, and probably beyond that point. Kojima just won't be involved. For awhile. Or maybe he will. Who knows!

That's probably a good thing, there's not many other places Kojima can take the series and this one looks like it's closing the loop anyway. It'll be nice to see what he does when he,s free from MGS. It's Silent Hills and it's indeterminate fate that concerns me.

I mean to be honest Metal Gear's like the only thing they've been putting serious money into in the last few years anyways. Last Silent Hill was years ago, last Silent Hill they actually made was even longer. Lords of Shadow is farmed out and may have gotten shitcanned itself, and other than that there hasn't been a Castlevania game in like 4 and a half years. Last Contra game was 4 in 2007. PES is the only series they have that isn't dead or dying, and that's just roster updates.

Konami has been distancing itself more and more from actual videogaming, they got other revenues now and way more profitable.

Half of their revenue still comes from "digital entertainment", though. From other reports they are just consolidating power at their central offices, they're not going to abandon MGS while there's still profit to be had.

Skwirl posted:Better Call Saul is a great show, but watching him strive every week to be a famous attorney and knowing he's eventually going to be the Saul that we see in Breaking Bad is a little bit depressing. I'm watching Better Call Saul live and rewatching Breaking Bad with some friends in parallel. We just got to the Saul introduction episode last week and he's *way* scuzzier than I remember which makes me both excited to see how Better Call Saul gets there and about the whole thing since Jimmy is such a nice guy.

Like he insisted pretty vehemently it would be...and then they made Peace Walker, but that was different because it was a portable one, then they made Revengeance but that didn't count because it was a spinoff and then they just said gently caress it and made MGSV.

Console gaming, sorry, they got a lot of mobile poo poo, heck their Winning Eleven mobile game did better for them than PES did. My bet is them doubling down on mobile and their yakuza connections Honest Thief fucked around with this message at 21:48 on Mar 19, 2015 |

I'll admit, while Udo Kier is under-utilized, I dig this Joe Dallesandro cat. His acting is much better in Blood than Flesh, but Blood also isn't nearly as funny as Flesh... or, weirdly, as erotic. (I don't think this Morrissey guy had a very high opinion of women.)

My wife has been watching Hart of Dixie on Netflix. Not a great show, but it has some of the best lighting and camera work I've seen lately on TV. A comedy show, no less. The DP gets first credit at the end of each episode.

I think it'd be really cool if Better Call Saul at some point just went "gently caress it" and decided it wasn't beholden to the Basking Bad universe.
