Really? Which ones, I don't go to the movies that often and don't follow movies that much so I have no idea what has been released in the least few years. Anything in particular good because I find the subject pretty crazy.

Where did the jrpg system of monsters dropping trash items that get turned in to items in town begin?

Do any games even do this still? I can't remember the last time I played a game where all the various loot didn't serve some purpose.

The thing that fucks me up about cryptocurrency is how bitcoin mining is essentially a group of people collectively deciding to waste as much electricity as humanly possible in the pursuit of imaginary money. It's the reddit nerd equivalent of rolling coal.

Honestly, a battle royale game bolted onto MGSV could potentially be worth a spin. I never played the competitive multiplayer in V since that came out like a month after I beat and returned the game

Speaking of crappy crafting zombie games, unsurprisingly Metal Gear Survive does not look very good if this quick look I'm watching is accurate.

The fact that Brad seems to like it further backs up this observation.
