Man, I guess the entire planet was just wrong when they played it on launch then.
Nah but fr, this was probably the first “bad” game Ubisoft made before the company name became synonymous with the word “mediocre”.
Unity was not good. At all.
Steven Spielberg has written a tribute about the late Sam Neill after his tragic passing.
“I owe a debt of gratitude to Roger Donaldson, Gilliam Armstrong, Graham Baker and Phillip Noyce for casting Sam Neill in the roles in which he was so brilliant that brought him to my attention and led to his playing Dr. Alan Grant in Jurassic Park.
Sam was exceptionally collaborative. It was a stretch for him to play a character who acted as though children were messy and smelly because this was the opposite of the loving father he was to his children.
I adored making all the Jurassic movies with him. Along with Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum, we will always have our Jurassic family and Sam will never be forgotten by us or his many millions of fans around the world.”
kind-of incredible that neither of these feels like it had remotely any impact on the cultural zeitgeist. isn't it interesting that Obsession technically made half as much and yet it's like 100x more likely to come up in conversation irl?
Another great ep of dragon show on the books. A real shame that George and Condal are on the outs, sad case of him overcorrecting after the D&D debacle imo.
UK tv was once so good that it spawned an international subculture of britaboos throughout the 00s and early 10s and then went completely extinct by 2018
The things that Red Dead 2’s detractors tend to hate most about the game are precisely what makes it work so well as a western. It’s my favorite game in no small part because it’s so committed to recreating the tone and pacing of the genre, even when it clashes with game design
The responses to this perfectly show the dichotomy I was talking about yesterday. The chuds hate the gaming companies but also refuse to engage with the political ramifications of these unaccountable entities that are borderline monopolies
