isn’t oblivion remastered just called skyrim
honestly kinda disgusted how much the general internet is falling for oblivion again
like it’s not a big deal or whatever I just thought people were done with Bethesda. but like in bad times I hear everyone falls on comforting and familiar media
and like I know no one cares about a boycott but maybe let’s celebrate Microsoft a little less during one. like i feel bad pirating and talking about avowed haha

I was considering firing up Oblivion just the other day. But I only play it for the love of jank.

literally just go play Avowed or some European RPG like kingdom come or gothic of something. I’m begging you and all people who feel this way. You don’t have to keep doing this to yourself

eh, i wouldn’t even say i regret my time playing skyrim recently. it’s been elucidating for various reasons. as study material for my personal compendium of useless information, it’s been bountiful. i definitely wouldn’t want to try and like, funnel whatever twisted desire beckons me to play that game into another game. the impulse should be killed if anything, not repurposed.
good or bad, skyrim is now a historically important notable game. not sure that’ll be true for avowed or whatever, and i don’t have any other reason to play it

but like, i get it. in the post-360 malaise skyrim and fallout were like the herpes of video games. shades of people saying “read another book” to harry potter fanatics

I remember when me and dhex (once of this parish) got super-excited and bought Oblivion on release and spend the full weekend binge-playing it and then were chatting about it on Monday and were like “man, wow, how did they make something so completely dogshit after Morrowind”.
Still not as bad as Fallout 3. Skyrim is at least a little step up in that the quest design and the dungeon design is a little bit better. A bit.
I also remember Consolevania saying Oblivion is good because you can take everybody’s shoes and throw them onto roofs, which is a fair point, it’s just that all the other Elder Scrolls games are better for pretty much doing the same sort of thing. If the whole game was throwing shoes onto roofs, it would rule, actually.

I’m highly annoyed at how many people were talking about boycotting microsoft liek 2 days ago and now fucking oblivion is all anyone can talk about. Someone I know bought it even though they pirate games all the time and its like its literally getting uploaded to fg rn. If you cant help yourself you could at least wait like a day for your treats

An Outrun movie should be like the movie Chef. Almost completely pleasant and conflict free, with just the occasional micro-conflict here and there that’s introduced and resolved in minutes.

While we’re talking about video game movies about cars, Gran Turismo had that awful movie a while back about the player-turned-real-competitor and it kept making think that if Sony wanted to make Gran Turismo a movie, it should have been what the movie Ford v Ferrari was. An anthology series capturing moments in car and race history- “Gran Turismo present: Ford v Ferrari”, or something like that. And then the next movie could be something like that new F1 movie coming out.
But would you actually be able to attach the name Gran Turismo to real stories, where car companies or individuals from those companies can be portrayed as bad guys, without those companies getting mad and damaging the relationship to get their cars in the video game? Were Ford and Ferrari totally cool with Ford v Ferrari portraying them as jerks?
And will the success of the Outrun movie let Sega get the Ferrari license back and re-release OutRun 2? Michael Bay has the cache to get Ferrari for the Outrun movie.

The tie-in game to Outrun will be an arcade game made by Raw Thrills. It will be played with NFC cards.

Gran Turismo movie should be a romcom about sentient (but in no way anthropomorphic) cars hanging out in a jazz lounge. There’s a race tournament as a b-plot to provide stakes other than ‘will they won’t they’

There was also a Need For Speed film which respected documentarian and film critic Thom Andersen said was one of the best films of the year.

as the resident Michael Bay connoiseur/Transformers Schlock Fanboy, have been sitting on my hands for a day now to not add fuel to the fire, however:
if this isn’t a Match made in Heaven, then idk what is… the plot in most of his movies pretty much fits into a CG cutscene, so he just needs to wrap it up nicely and do a 21st century Ferris Bueller adaption with Bayhem-angles, and be done with it.
Q is, which coursemap/Destination will our heroes reach, a,b,c,d or e?
(true answer will be a Lola Runs-style take and we will get all five

Shocked I’m only just learning about this company now… Is this what arcade games are like these days?? (Haven’t seen an arcade in years this side of the pond…)
