Entertainment / Re: What Video Game are You Pl...
Last post by M.10rda - Today at 10:23:26 AMOh same here.
Lately I've briefly sampled a bunch of "open world"-type action/adventure/shooter things... SAINTS ROW 2-4 and the newest SAINTS ROW reboot, the original RED DEAD REDEMPTION, and the original DEAD RISING. All of these can be fun for about 30 minutes and then I can drop them, walk away, and not come back for weeks/months/ever w/o feeling too bad. The drawback for all is that none of them allow you to save anywhere
so once I start a mission, I'd better be able to finish it in 20-30 minutes or... 
Pluses of RDR - it still looks amazing for a 16-year old game (maybe I'm playing a newer version w/ updated graphics, I dunno) and there's some fair Old West flavor, though it has a lot of the jank of the FTA series.
Pluses of DEAD RISING - you can kill a lotta' zombies and (if you have Wand/WeMod) you can pause the in-game clock, making the game fun and playable rather than impossible. The cut-scenes are hilarious, featuring a moronic hero who looks and sounds like a 'roided-out David Cross with hair-plugs and a bad-ass black DHS agent buddy who sounds like he's voiced by Keith David but isn't.
Pluses of the SAINTS ROW series - Easier and less frustrating than GTA games, lots of cool crafted action set-pieces, tons of ludicrous humor, and you can customize your player character. I always play as a curvaceous punk redhead with a British accent.

Good Movies / Re: Recent theatrical viewings
Last post by Rev. Powell - Today at 09:32:07 AMOBSESSION: A socially awkward young man will go to any lengths to get his crush to love him. A classic monkey's paw story heading to an obvious destination, but the young cast and some black comedy makes it fun to watch it play out. Packed theater again on a Monday night. Feels weird to me. Overheard teenagers leaving say "that was a lot," meaning, I think, they grasped the emotional implication of the final scene. 3.5/5.

Albums (mostly collaborations) from reggae legend Perry have been coming out since his death in 2021. I think this is the last one to arrive. And maybe the weirdest, too.
