    Beautiful Game Appreciation

    Ghost of Tsushima. It's a good format, broken samurai slowly fights back.

    Beautiful Game Appreciation

    This what I call a good winter game. When it's cold outside I'll be in medieval Japan. This is another game like RD2 where every scene is an artwork. Now just got to rid Japan of the Mongol army!

    Steam Autumn Sale Discussion Thread

    I picked up Ghost of Tsushima in the sale. I do enjoy games that take you into a whole new world like RD2. Plus learn a little history. I really need to improve my sword control for this game as well so at present I'm watching Japanese experts recreate moves from the game (it's a mad world)...

    (I watched about half of video). I think that many people have a bias when it comes to AI. When I was reviewing modern sci fi films, AI featured as a source of apprehension and fear, but also the opposite, as a source of benefit for humans in general and on an individual level. With ageing...

    This is from a channel, 'You can't unhear this' which specifically breaks down the recording and influences of Beatles songs. GEEK out! View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDZzhLY_BVo&ab_channel=YouCan%27tUnhearThis

    I think in all the films, tv series and games I've seen the humans always persevere. Yes there are casualities but there are always those determined survivors. Post apocalypse worlds are also interesting places to explore. Through religious times the apocalypse or 'revelation', was seen as a...

    @Colif I've been reviewing maybe a hundred films that were made recently and all have some sort of apocalypse or major change for humans from alien invasions to AI sentient beings. I was wondering if these films, tv shows and games reflected the fear of humans. I watched this which explores...

    Movies you're watching

    Who is responsible for Jason Statham, I mean he always plays the same charcter doing the same things, expressionless, the plots are predictable, yet I still enjoy the films. I've seen loads of them and I think it's Guy Ritchie. Snatch> 2000, actually they started off interesting but by the...

    I wondered if he was trying to impersonate an instrument but it's described as yodelling and whistling. He played the flute. I imagine if you went back and were born in Amsterdam in 1948 it might make sense, but sounds mad to me.

    Music Videos!

    I couldn't find a video for Hocus Pocus(except live), but Edgar Wright chooses the music and writes the scene to synch with the music. Fast paced chase on foot> View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7v6NDhHlf0A&ab_channel=MovieScenes

    Music Videos!

    It's a whole project in itself choosing the songs for film, getting permission. But some songs are perfect, even change the way the song is viewed. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78_1tqjRLPE&ab_channel=Y4N
