RIP Eric Bauza. This year has been awful for celebrity deaths. This one hurts a little more after we finally got to see Coyote Vs. Acme survive being canned and later screened in theaters. A generational talent, gone, but not forgotten.

Eric Bauza has passed away.

This was a really nostalgic playthrough even though I never played Soul Reaver before. The vibes, storytelling, and world were supremely cool.

The gameplay was also decent but a little held back by some design choices and an over reliance on block puzzles. The remaster also had a number of bugs (some that can soft lock you if you didn't save on multiple files frequently) and performance hitches when going into new areas.

Avatar: Seven Havens is starting out on the slower side but it has been really cool so far! I think many have been overly harsh regarding the animation. The mystery and intrigue about the state of the world, how it got there, etc has been super compelling.

What a horrible, bleak vision of the future.

Slop gonna slop. Completely uninterested. Most likely DOA when it releases.

Bloomberg: Epic Games is going all in on AI as an unannounced shooter featuring Marvel & Star Wars characters is implementing an "AI first" production model "generated with full AI workflows". "No more hand-written code", said one of the directors to staff. ➡️ www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

It really is funny that this game has so many block puzzles. They looked at Ocarina and turned it up to 11 haha.

Stream Schedule Reminder: no stream this Sunday since I'm going to be away at a convention. Next stream will be 10/8 and a normal schedule should resume for a bit!

This is the way to stream Evangelion. So glad the original dub is preserved here!

NEON GENESIS EVANGELION is now streaming on the Criterion Channel, including EVANGELION:DEATH (TRUE)² and THE END OF EVANGELION.

MGS2 was fun but a bit of a mixed bag for me. I really liked the parallels it sets with MGS1 (which they capitalize on later), the broader ideas regarding legacies/memes/genes, and I enjoyed Raiden as a character.

Overall, I had a good time but I think I'd rate MGS2 lower on my list to other games in the series. I think I'd rank the MGS games I've beaten this way: MGS3, MGS1, Peace Walker, Ground Zeroes, MGS2, MGS4. (MGS V Phantom Pain isn't listed because I haven't beaten it yet.)

I also didn't really care for Rose as a character in this. Very whiny and didn't really add much to the story. I missed having a wider cast to talk to over Codec.

Also, the endgame being almost entirely cutscenes was giving me war flashbacks to MGS4. I think there were other ways the ending cutscene dump could have been made into proper gameplay sequences but maybe due to time/budget (or most likely author's intent) it wasn't possible.

I disliked exploring on the Big Shell. Especially when backtracking, the forced camera angles made sneaking successfully much harder. The controls in this port also don't feel very accurate. The wall sidling specifically felt very tempermental. I accidentally revealed myself so many times.

Got another "I don't like your game because Snorpy and Chandlo are gay" emails. If you are going to do this please remember Lizbert and Eggabell kiss in the first few minutes of the game and are gay gay lesbian gya gaaayyyyy. It's simple media literacy.

This does not bode well for Rare and Obsidian..

A new report from Luminate has found that long gaps between seasons of streaming TV shows are leading to major losses in viewership. More than a 1 year gap is seen to largely cause a significant loss in viewership. (Source: luminatedata.com/reports/2026...)
