It's surprising how "All of Us Are Dead" just doesn't leave the top 10mystes posted:I'm sorry, you're going to have to turn in your nerd badge Nobody's called it Final Fantasy III since the '90s. I'm also a complete idiot for bringing it up and deserved to be mocked for complaining about something so stupid.

mystes posted:I don't think the term "1-up" was used (at least in English) prior to Super Mario Bros though so other terms (including extra life, etc.) must have been used between the release of the atari and the release of the NES. Extra life for sure I'm gonna finish love is blind US s2 and love is blind Japan today, both are amazing tv. The US version for the more trainwreck style entertainment and the Japan version for surprisingly emotional pull. I watched the first couple episodes of love is blind Brazil and it was very promising in its own way too; their cast definitely seems more like fuckboy party people but some of the relationships still feel really genuine.

The Puppy Bowl posted:I don't think that's right. Free Guy strikes me as a movie for the 45+ crowd that only knows about modern gaming and streaming culture from exploitative news reports on how dumb and dangerous the things their kids like are. At the very least it was written by that kind of person. How would something appeal to the 45+ crowd just because it's not accurate? What even is the logic there? They hired actual streamers and tried to tap into the whole social gaming thing. There's nothing there for a 45 year old other than a generic action romcom. Also hollywood movies aren't accurate most of of the time, because they are more concerned with appeal than getting details right. Watch just about any hollywood movie with someone who knows a lot about the subject and it'll be the same deal. it's not limited to video games. Maybe saying it was trying to appeal to zoomers isn't even true. it was trying to appeal to everyone and that's why it's just kind of nonsense. FG not reflecting real games isn't even the bad part. The bad part is that it's just generic as hell. There's worse ways to spend 2 hours though

I watched Free Guy because outside of this thread the consensus seems to be its pretty good but I think the nicest thing I can say about it is its better than Ready Player One

I found both of them to be crap but palatable for single watch. Ready player one the book however is one of the worst pieces of media I've ever consumed. loving loathsome.

One More Fat Nerd posted:Saw Hellbender on Shudder, really enjoyed it for the most part but felt it had a weak finish. I loved the film and thought the ending was actually among the best parts She's upset at her mom isolating her for so long from everything and everyone she could have pursued, including how awesome being a vile witch is, but loves her too much to fulfill destiny and kill her (at least right now), so she leaves her alive and behind to explore (and probably end) the world with nobody who can now realistically stop her

I finished Love is Blind Japan last night, and this was the best feel good show since Cheer. Just an incredible escape from all the garbage. The star couple is so positive and kind, I would watch a show that just follows their life around forever.

precision posted:i definitely heard "free guy" a lot in the 80s in New England, but have never heard it anywhere or anytime else Yep in the 80’s I heard both “free guy” or “free life”. I assume it was a continuation of pinball terms like “free play” and I think “free ball”. That said 1-UP came from pinball too (it originally meant first payer up).

I just finished season 1 of Smiling Friends on HBO Max and, good lord, this stuff is incredible. Can’t wait for a season two. I loved Rick & Morty Bushworld Adventures and YOLO: Crystal Fantasy, so it stands to reason I was gonna love this show.

mystes posted:I don't think this is true, or rather, while "1 UP" or similar phrases may have coincidentally been used to mean first player's turn in pinball, the reason it came to be used to mean an extra life in video games is completely unrelated. It was used by nintendo in Super Mario Brothers because "wan appu" literally means an increase of one in Japanese, so it's like using "+1" on an icon for an extra life (similarly to how "level up" meaning an increase in level was almost definitely borrowed back from Japanese into English although I'm sure saying this is going make people freak out). Apropos of this, I highly recommend How Nintendo Conquered America. its not super insanely deep but it has a lot of neat little details about weird video game stuff

A MIRACLE posted:Really enjoying somebody somewhere so far. Small town slice of life dramedy on hbo The first episode that I watched had the show scream “indie” to me. It was like a show made with a amateur YouTube budget. This is more of a compliment than a criticism.

I watched Kimi tonight. It was fine. Didn't blow me away or anything but I don't feel like I wasted 90 minutes. That was actually the best part - it was 90 minutes. More of this, please!!!!

Speaking of 90 minute movies, Werewolves Within wasn't as bad as I was expecting. It was not great but was carried by the cast. The setup is actually pretty good too, but is largely squandered in the second half which is kind of a mess but still entertaining.

Watched "The girl across the street..." this last weekend and loved it. The tone was just slightly off enough that I found myself giggling at all the dumb things happening like the mailbox, the changing tombstone messages, the extended fight with the kid, the casseroles to name a few

Amazon has a rom-com named “I Want You Back” with Charlie Day and it starts with two people getting dumped out of nowhere for being complacent in their relationship. Fun date night movie!
