A new batch of BSky users means it might be time to reintroduce myself: My name is Jose Argumedo. I am a director/editor for CNN and I freelance in the anime industry for Viz Media and Discotek Media. I also do photography including (and especially) cosplay, so check out some of my work!

Saw Clayface with a late-night crowd and it was so perfect for Halloween. Great body-horror film, I so glad that we get wild swings like this from DC.

I was checking out my days off and I saw I had requested a few days when GTA 6 launches, and I actually thought to myself, “Did I really ask these days off to play GTA?” Turns out, no, that’s the same weekend as Anime Weekend Atlanta. I just forgot!

God, we’re so fucked.

'Sony reportedly exits UHD Blu-ray player market' www.flatpanelshd.com/news.php?sub... 'Sony Japan has discontinued its last remaining UHD Blu-ray player, UBP-X700/K, seemingly marking the company's exit.'

I think literally everyone saw the BioWare shutdown coming when EA went private. I can only hope that EA someday sells their IP to new stewards someday who will care for franchises like Dragon Age and Mass Effect.

I’ve finished Dietrich’s path in Fire Emblem but I think it’s time to put that game down and replay The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the first time since I first played to completion on GameCube (Wind Waker pre-order bonus). Just the thing to refresh my memory before the remake in a few days

I saw “The Devils” last night and it’s a masterpiece, but something I noticed walking into work this morning, there are no posters or trailers on any of the idle monitors despite our sister movie studio, WB, distributing it.

I can’t think of a time where something we’ve released is just absent from our hallways. Like even the biggest bombs or TV show ratings fails always adorn our halls and there’s just nothing for this film.

Obviously, this film is different and quite controversial so I get why they might not want to decorate our halls with posters of Vanessa Redgrave as a nun chained up as our employees walk by. Just a little observation I noticed, don’t read too much into it, I suppose.

Like my goal was to finish this game before Zelda but nah, I’ll wrap up my Dietrich path soon and then move to some of the spooky games I put aside for now, like Resident Evil 0, while I wait for the DLC.

Also, a friend was just talking to me about playing the older FE games, specifically the GBA ones, so I might try to squeeze those in while I take a break from Fortune’s Weave.

This will be the first Ghost In The Shell home video release ever in Japan to not have at least some sort of English option, whether that’s a dub or sub. Not sure to keep my pre-order in to mux the audio on myself down the road.

Horrible mistake, I shouldn’t have done this. I originally did it because I wondered how the story would change if I lost a character but the game doesn’t really do that. Especially since in the story a lot of characters don’t actually die in The Heroic Games, it’s just a big disconnect.

Also, we’re going for it. If a unit dies, it dies.

I am really screwing up Cari’s playthrough in Fire Emblem. Because I’ve gotten to a really tough battle and I think it might be because I didn’t recruit enough people early enough. I concentrated on the getting the wrong people instead of just who’s there and now my team is short handed.

I had to straight up do Blaze Arts, run away, get healed, run back, do Blaze Arts again, run away again, get healed again, etc. No strategy, just being the cheapest Cai ever, but I got past this battle. Not proud of it.

I might be getting to a point in Fire Emblem where switching characters at the end of every chapter might not be the way to go as I think I’m dangerously close to spoiling some of the paths so depending on how this next chapter ends, I might stick with Leda and then switch.

Oh, now that the PO Box episode is out, I can post my little Aramaki doodle I made because I didn't have a case for the PS1 copy of Ghost In The Shell I sent in! Glad you both liked my artwork!

Officially factory resetting my Steam Machine. I just wanted to play RE4 Remake, and I ended up with so many problems, I’m just scrapping my install and starting over.

My Steam Machine will not display a picture anymore… so that’s not good. Holding the power button doesn’t seem to do anything so… did I brick this thing trying to go into desktop mode?

If it does it again, I think I’m just gonna try completely resetting to factory settings. I swear to God though, it’s always something with this thing.

Ok, I got it back again. I’ve decided to turn off VRR and cap the Steam Machine to 1080p/60 just to make sure the TV doesn’t suddenly have an issue (I had it set to 4K with no frame cap)

Got it back, thank God. I think the HDMI did something weird. I restarted my TV and it worked, but Switch, PS5 and AppleTV worked totally fine and displayed picture but Steam Machine just wouldn’t do the HDMI handshake correctly for some reason.

I don’t know why, but I keep thinking about Run The Jewels releasing their 1st album for free on their website and people were literally begging them to put it on Spotify. Just how conditioned do these services have people that they are asking for free art to be put behind a paywall?

My nine anime. I really wanted to make sure I had a good variety of titles.

My nine games. Took me forever to pick but I think these are the ones. Rogue Leader almost got replaced a few times with Super Smash Bros Melee but I think Rogue Leader just blew my mind more.
