I just watched the Alien: Covenant trailer and suddenly feel like watch Prometheus again.

Good. Despite what like the entire internet thinks, it's a great movie.

Say Watt?

I think videogames can teach you a lot about various things, and yourself, and other people but not anything that is exclusive to videogames.

Wanting to play videogames on my PC all those years ago as a kid certainly gave me a crash course in computers from having to figure out how to troubleshoot, optimize, and upgrade but you can learn all that stuff without ever touching a game.

Playing games teaches you a lot about yourself and playing/working with others but again, nothing you couldn't find out from sports, other types of games, or other hobbies.

I have some problems with it (or at least think I did, I haven't seen it since it first came out) but even Ridley Scott's bad films, which I don't count it as, are worth watching because they always look amazing.

Prometheus is... fine, but has some really really dumb character decisions. Hopefully new Alien will be good.

I forgot how amazingly stupid the taking of the helmets bit is, I know the pervading message of the film is 'lol people are loving dumb' but that is stretching it beyond believability.

Dungeon Hack has never been re-released on GOG or anything apparently. Do any of these millions of modern roguelikes do a good job of being a successor to dungeon hack?

It has been actually! It's in part 3 of the "Forgotten Realms: The Archives"

2016 was a great year for games, even the bad games were at least entertaining trainwrecks like Battleborn and No Man's Sky and Mighty No 9.

I'm 'playing' Virginia, it seems okay for a game where the devs obviously just wanted to make a movie but somehow ended up doing a game instead.

It's a competent, if short, metroidvania with above-average music and nice visuals. Very much on the easy side.

Lots of backtracking, though they make it pretty painless as you get new upgrades

I dont like the new one as much as Pirate's Curse but its still pretty awesome, in the vein of the Shovel Knight style of games that people don't really make at the same volume that they used to.
