CelticPredator posted:I don’t think it’s even close. Fnaf is mostly children who love it and maybe early early 20’s. I really doubt some 23 year old office worker is gonna chat up the fnaf lore of shaggy killer man to a 55 year old cranky man named Stanley Hudson I mean I'm 30 and I know most of the lore from watching Markiplier videos years back and my coworker is a 50 something dad who plays the games and reads up on the lore because his son is into it. Maybe we're not the target audience but it's a point of conversation on boring days.

The last show most people in my office were up to date on and talking about weekly was The Walking Dead, but slowly more and more people tapped out until it was just 2 older people every monday talking about what happened in the main show and the first spinoff.

Rockit posted:*Thinks deeply* Good lord is loving FNAF the closet thing then? The mystery box never went away, it just got compartmentalized on streaming platforms. Every action/adventure/mystery/thriller show has to wheel a new mystery box out at the start of each season, and then another number on the combination slowly gets solved as a last-minute hook on the episode to make you want to watch the next one immediately. The addictive potato chip bag formula. Then at the very end of the season they have to open the mystery box and there's another mystery box inside woooo will this one get solved? Hopefully the series gets renewed so you can find out!!! You are hitting at something with FNAF though. Part of that mystery box addiction is The Lore, and you can see that The Lore poo poo unwind itself in every modern TV show and movie franchise. It gets especially bad when you're seeing some adaption of an old classic that has to staple Lore onto it just so it has more mystery hooks to hang poo poo on. CelticPredator posted:But im also not even sure what’s airing right now. Very out of the loop tv wise. Stranger things 4 was pretty big but idk how big irl at offices. Stranger Things S4 ending on the cliffhanger it did was kind of hype, and they tried to add to the hype by holding back the last 2 episodes initially. I feel like Stranger Things would've had a lot more ongoing buzz if it didn't do full season drops for S3 and S4. Dropping a whole series to binge in a weekend really feels unsustainable for streaming now that the little TV pond is a giant swamp of #Content, but granted that situation has rapidly evolved around and over ST between seasons. I wouldn't be shocked if Season 5 drops in chunks or even 1 episode weekly to really draw the energy out. Besides that... I don't know. People were really hooked on Wednesday for a few weeks. The mystery in that was the most addictive part, but again, it all dropped at once so all the energy evaporated immediately. Nuns with Guns fucked around with this message at 04:41 on Jan 9, 2024 |

CelticPredator posted:If I recall this creep was disgusting creep Harry Knowles. Famous for the blade 2 review, pooping his diaper at film screenings and groping women also at said screenings Man, the heyday of Knowles as this "aw gee, he's just this hapless guy who loves movies and doesn't know how much the studios are using him" sure was wild. And by wild I mean irritating.

Jimbot posted:The Crichton film is very good and Yul Brynner is incredible in it. You'll see why Schwarzenegger drew a ton of inspiration from it. The weird thing is that the West World tv show draws a whole hell of a lot more of the Crichton film's sequel, Futureworld. (Which to no surprise was kind of dog poo poo.)

You'd better take that back before someone accuses you of liking a show as long as you can make a watch party out of it.

I feel like a lot of watercooler talk died out because steaming services tend towards shorter seasons and have a habit of renewing nothing but the absolute smash hits. You can't get invested in a mystery if there's only eight episodes and then it's taken out back and shot in the head.

"yeah. how is it?" "it's pretty good." "ok. I'm watching y show." "oh I've never heard of it." "it's on Streaming Service." "oh I don't have that one." "yeah, it's alright. you ever watch LOST? It's a lot like LOST. But it takes place during World War 2" "oh that sounds cool." (isn't interested)

Also if they release the entire season at once and some people watch the entire thing overnight and others don't then a lot of the water cool chatter is going to be people shouting "NO SPOILERS!"

Happy Landfill posted:Let me tell you about Homestuck I think Homestuck is a different lesson because the solution at the centre of the box largely made sense within the universe set up, but what everyone wanted was a big climatic battle that would utilise all the characters and experiences that they'd had over the story. Which kind of happened but off screen. A proper climax would have taken at least several months to execute and Hussey was clearly burnt out by then. Homestuck also didn't burn its fans that hard as there's many many Homestuck but better spin off projects. It's not like there's many Walking Dead or Game of Thrones (excepting games that started development before the final season) style poo poo on the level of Undertale, The Locked Tomb series or even the unofficial/official sequel slash extended universe projects. fez_machine fucked around with this message at 13:20 on Jan 9, 2024 |

Rockit posted:Twitter is a harassment machine filled with bad actors. You can point out how it's a stupid place to demand accountability while agreeing the targets were shitheads/ like you had gita jackson saying that taking it down would literally prove gamergate right, it was loving insane and proves those ghouls have turned gamergate into a shield against literally any criticism, and also rockit's posts are barely comprehensible but i dont think they're fully unpacking how dogshit kotaku et. all were being during that drama

Nuebot posted:The best part of FNAF is when the guy who created it was like "this series is done" and everyone thought the final game was poo poo so he made a new game that was all sci-fi and poo poo but also a prequel to the original game somehow and also revealed that the seemingly random serial killer from the original game was also a super genius robot designer who just built child killing robots designed to kill children and eat their ghosts or some poo poo. And then some time after that someone wrote an official and apparently canonical five nights at freddys mpreg story.

Mark Millar has fumbled so hard at his attempts to jump from comic book guy to media people actually engage with guy (which I say as a comic book reader) it's heartwarming to see because he's long been known as a tool. It even looked like he might hop on the 'wokes are ruining comics' train things had gotten so bad but he took a swipe at one of the more beloved creators today in Gail Simone and tried to hype a book about how said wokes were ruining comics and how it was The Greatest Threat To The Industry but he did a furious back peddle of "uh, oh, no dawg, I meant a completely unrelated book about the dangers the comic book industry is facing and no I won't tell you which one" when everybody but the tiny of minority of assholes he was planning on catering to took umbrage. Good times.

He also tried to ride the anti-Snyder wave by claiming that he was so traumatized by the mean Superman in Man of Steel that he wrote a book called Huck about a nice Superman. This was like a year and a half after he wrote Jupiter’s Legacy where the Superman analogue in that comic gets his face lasered off by his own son, so not sure how he wasn’t prepared for the extreme darkness of a PG Hollywood movie. The dude is nothing if not a shameless grifter who will hitch his wagon to any horse he thinks will make him a bit more money/fame, it’s doubtful he has any genuine beliefs at all.

I’m surprised that Warren Ellis had the good sense to gently caress off and disappear after dozens of women started documenting the decades of sexual abuse he had gotten away with since the 90s. I could easily see him coming back for a second act as an anti-cancel culture reactionary.

I do appreciate that the BSG reboot had a post-finale special/recap movie where they swapped perspectives and showed you everything that was in the mystery box straight up. The problem was that it turned out there was basically nothing in the box in the first place when they opened it up and yeah, “God did it” was their logic for most of the show.

The problem was that it turned out there was basically nothing in the box in the first place when they opened it up and yeah, “God did it” was their logic for most of the show. I would rather have a messy weird show that takes wild risks without knowing where it's heading than a show with an end point that it works out ahead of time and crawls to incrementally, because even if shows like Lost were totally honest about knowing what the end beats would be (I believe they did, given how hard they wrenched the direction of the story to end up with Jack dying on the forest floor next to the dog), they still have to improvise as characters develop and cast changes happen. Even Lost adjusted their initial plans to make room for Matthew Fox after he replaced Michael Keaton for the pilot and they realized they could keep him, supposedly. Battlestar Galactica was a wild ride right up to the end, with the trade-off of having a weak conclusion that has to pull everything together. What other show would be brave enough to keep another battlestar around for half a season, on a show with the premise that there is only one battlestar left? I don't think they even waited for a season finale to blow it up--they just did it when it made sense for the story.

well yeah the problem with that kind of storytelling is that even if you do a big reveal the whole thing is just a clumsy ex-post-facto infodump because none of it was actually planned beforehand. that's just how TV production kind of worked

I could easily see him coming back for a second act as an anti-cancel culture reactionary. Too hot for a potential comeback right now. If Ellis poked his head up again he'd be dragged within an inch of his life, especially as he never actually apologized for anything. Needs to wait a few years so we get the 'problematic favorite' retrospectives, unless he runs into money trouble.

But I understand if everyone draws the line at a Apple streaming service. Plus, they make you rent the Peanuts movies they bought so gently caress them.

Plenty didn't, hell I see some still talking about him on the comics bluesky. I wanna make the following observation about Pyrocinical's recent video about Lethal Company: It's one of his usual very through videos and its generally positive in his own way, but I find it hilarious that you can tell he did it because he was sick of playing on public servers so he attempted to explain nearly everything about the game, but also that nearly every streamer I've seen play around avoids nearly a third of what he suggests and ends up having very long game sessions where they easily get everything they want without cheats. I mean you can play around with the terminal and have someone carefully open doors and so on, or you can be TieTuesday, who just teleports right away without any prep and you see him carefuly avoid monsters and carrying loot entirely from experience from Phasmaphobia \ Deceive Inc. \ FGC.

The collective of women that tried to mediate a restorative justice process with him posted that he'd basically not engaged with it in any sort of useful way and that they were done with it, and he's just quietly gone back to work without the blaring social media presence he used to have. Also hey, remember Devin Faraci? Yeah, he came back and has like eight hundred people on patreon. You can stage manage this poo poo if you stay quiet for long enough.
