You ain’t distracting me with shiny Diablo 4s and Overwatch 2s. I see you, Blizzard. We ALL see you.

• 0:40 – Blizzard’s president says his company was in the wrong and learned it’s lesson but admits it will do nothing different
• 18:45 – China is implementing a gaming curfew for underage gamers
• 24:24 – The Monster Hunter World Iceborne and Resident Evil 2 crossover isn’t as good as the Witcher III crossover but that’s a super high bar
• 41:06 – I saw Terminator: Dark Fate. It’s pretty good!

7:36 PMSusanne Christ​how was the terminator movie?

7:36 PMCyberian_Tiger​Oh sorry. I meanIf Kojima made a movie would it be too niche for any studio to take a chance on.

7:41 PMjordan thompson​I feel “crawl” was a bit mismarketed as it gives the impression its a Sam Rami film but its not he produced it didnt direct

7:42 PMjordan thompson​I’m considering “dark fate” an eslworld story since it gives a giant middle finger to long time fans

7:43 PMaddictedtochaos​Saw T3 in the theaters and got home to my computer acting up. Last thing you want to see after watching a movie like T3.

7:43 PMlittlegittel​when you texted and said Terminator was good, I immediately told J that it must be pretty awesome, cuz that be high praise coming from yoi

7:43 PMjordan thompson​the plot of dark fate completely negates any effort put forth in the first 2 movies

7:43 PMlittlegittel​yes, the new Halloween ignores 2 through 82

7:45 PMSusanne Christ​don’t 4get to hit the like button!! 

7:45 PMjordan thompson​Halloween 2018 was originally was gonna be a follow up to halloween 2. as in behind the scenes you see jamie with wound prostetics she would have received in Halloween 2 but the idea was scrapped

7:46 PMCyberian_Tiger​Liked T3 but not so much it’s story. But pushing that aside I did like it.

7:48 PMaddictedtochaos​The only thing I took from the Force Awakens is that Daisy Ridley is very pretty.
