As long as it's a flavour I like. Watermelon, sure. Cherry, no.

Anyone who hasn't played online games on dial-up doesn't know what lag is. Unless it was StarCraft or Starsiege Tribes. Those had good netcode for dial-up users.

If you want really ugly, there was the infamous FakeFactory Cinematic Mod for HL2. The levels are cluttered, music replaced with generic movie tracks, and the character models are way off.

Just got an email saying my PS5 copy of Baldur's Gate 3 deluxe edition has finally shipped, after a few months delay. It's a 4th of July miracle!

The closest thing is the Half-Life 2 RTX project being worked on by modders. This includes texture resolution upgrades so it'll look better even without raytracing.

Lower Decks really surprised me. I was expecting Rick & Morty style cringe but got a show made people who really know the source material. Maybe we'll get lucky and get a movie or a follow up series.

Even when it's sports it's usually "our local sports time blew it on a level not thought possible".

Usually undead means ambulatory and the deceased need the Weekend At Bernie's treatment for that.

Let's just say that ending was retconned in Half-Life: Alyx.

At least Portal 2 didn't end on a cliffhanger with a promised part 3 like Half-Life 2: Episode Two did.

Half-Life 3 will be announced next year and the next day the zombie apocalypse starts. Unfortunately it won't be headcrab zombies.

Floating colonies in Venus's upper atmosphere have been theorized for decades but anything goes wrong and whatever ends up on the surface is screwed. The Soviets sent probes to the surface of Venus and even with advanced cooling systems none of them lasted a day.

I realized my Elden Ring character was in New Game Plus so I just have to rush and beat Mohg and Radahn in order to be ready for the big DLC. Thank goodness for guides.

Monkey movie! If I remember right, Adam West is in this but his character dies early on.

The only found footage movies I saw in theatre were Cloverfield and Apollo 18. Everyone knows Cloverfield but Apollo 18 was about a secret Moon landing where two astronauts find moon rocks that transform into aliens. Basically rock-like crabs that infect and eat them.

Soda, chips, and a late night movie on the sci-fi channel featuring a combination of creepy zombies and full nudity. (Lifeforce, for example)

It's so rare to see a movie or TV show being released as downloadable video files. The last time I could do this was with that last season of Mystery Science Theatre 3000, but only after it had it's streaming premiere.

On the other hand, dying in space does sound badass. Less people have died in space than have walked on the Moon. (only 3 cosmonauts on Soyuz 11 in 1971)

If my knowledge of Mass Effect fandom is correct, this means the ladies will love Kai from Avowed.

Every time I hold a container of Oreos it feels like I'm in possession of a controlled substance that's usually kept under lock in a pharmacy.

I could never get into Dragon Age. Felt too generic to me. Mass Effect on the other hand, that was my jam.

The new Perfect Dark should take a cue from the original N64 version and require a hardware upgrade to play the single player portion of the game. The original needed that extra 4 megabytes of RAM.

Now China is returning Moon samples from the far side. They’re getting really good at this.

It would be neat to see an HD face lift for Fallout 1 and 2. I'm not sure if any mod has done that.
