yeah joss whedon is gilmore girls for nerds where everyone talks in quips and way too fast compared to normal folks

and for some reason people speak chinese despite there not being a single chinese person in the cast, even as an extra

I get it now, the key to a good shoot'em-up is to have a lot of bullets on screen and making the game play at 2x the normal speed

Current Dead Space 3 status: The "Optional Missions" are really stupid and later ones are placed at :psyduck: timings in the plot.

Like, there's a ticking time bomb scenario playing out and the game plops this sidequest elevator in the middle of an intense chase sequence that's like "well yeah I know we're almost to the climax of the plot here but wanna go solve a puzzle or two, shoot some mans, and read some ancillary plot details??"

Also gently caress the guy who designed the climbing sequences in every orifice
