The Vast of Night

8/10

watched this a while back and forgot to mention it. Wasn't really sure quite how to rate it, as the story itself isn't something all that inspiring. Mysterious thing happens, young people discover alien conspiracy, young people discover alien ship, young people disappear. To an extent, the plot follows the motions, and really hits a wall once we reach old lady exposition.

That being said, the filming and dialogue are phenomenal, and kept me hooked the entire time, with the two leads being dynamic from the moment they first appear and never ceasing.

(another note: mispellings in the title were intentional to fit in everyone's names without running out of characters)

I was honestly surprised he made it in over a lot of other LOST characters.

most of the characters premiering in season 4 were kinda forgettable; I imagine we'll be seeing a LOT of Lost representation over the next few contests

notes:

• most days will probably be updated earlier than this but I'll make sure this first day gets 24 hours for votes either way
• for the snubs, I just chose what I figured would be the most significant/recognizable from the ones that got 2 nominations
• I'll probably include the [note] on all characters from comic adaptations to avoid the inevitable "______ didn't actually come out that year!" since they're usually the only ones people take issue with

I'm not sure I really understand what Summer Game Fest was, isn't that just IGN or something?

At first I thought that was just what they were calling E3 coverage

Nintendo > MS imo but they're the top two for sure.

Nintendo had it's moments but overall I wasn't impressed. Kazuya I'm super hyped for, and Super Monkey Ball and Mario Party remakes look good (though I'm hesitant to be excited for MP given that they didn't bother supporting Super Mario Party at all). Beyond that there wasn't much appealing

Outer Worlds was one of them. Also Somerville, Redfall and Plague Tale 2 look really good.

Last year already had my interest for Hellblade 2, and it's becoming a lot harder to not get my first Xbox

But if Sony gives me PlayStation Allstars 2 maybe I'll take it all back

Admittedly it's a super low bar this year but Microsoft actually managed to make me want a Series whatever despite never caring for Xbox

They finally bought enough studios to start showing off some really cool looking exclusives that I can't overlook

Also I'm saying that as a total PlayStation fanboy. You let me down Sony! Don't say you're skipping E3 to do your own thing and then give no indication of what or when that'll be!

It was interesting and had a fun twist, but also was pretty cringey at times, overexplained stuff to an extreme extent, and characters were hit/miss. 2 and 3 were definitely better.

I never played beyond episode 1 of LiS2 but the new one seems more appealing. The second seemed to be trying to cover too much ground.

2nd is good but not on the same level as 1st. There's definitely something lost by having the power be in control of the supporting character (who kinda sucks sometimes), plus the road trip format makes it harder to really connect with characters.

Eh, there are factors beyond money at this point. If they pull the plug on avengers it looks terrible with their relationship with Disney. If they think Guardians is going to do well and want to keep making games like that they need to not poison the well

Yeah if they fuck up things with Disney they can't spend they next 20 years teasing Kingdom Hearts 4

Can we call this a grunge album? Like I know Pixies aren't usually considered grunge because they didn't come out of early 90s Seattle, but labelling them as just "alternative" just seems really limiting. If this came out like 4 years later it would've been considered part of the height of the grunge movement, and stylistically it draws from the same sound that inspired Nirvana and a lot of the lesser-known, garage-punk grunge bands of the era.

Regardless of what you call it, the album is fantastic. It's the kind of thing I wish I'd listened to as a teenager instead of like a year or two ago because this was exactly what angsty teenage me wanted to hear and jam the fuck out to. It's what late-20s me still wants to jam the fuck out too. Ranking is difficult because every song is so damn good.

I admittedly still probably consider Brawl my favorite game of this year (Subspace Emissary was just too much fun) but LittleBigPlanet and Prince of Persia '08 aren't far behind. I'll even throw an HM to Rock Band and GH: World Tour. They obviously weren't going to show up in this contest but this was arguably the year for guitar-peripheral music games
