I cracked up when Reagan showed up in this playing a mob boss and he looked EXACTLY like he did in the 80’s.

Haha yeah, I’ll bet he does--

*checks*

That shit was so ham-fisted I thought they were going to actually say “Android Lives Matter” at some point. Holy shit. How much you want to bet the moral is going to be that both sides are bad and the true answer is to walk down the middle?

Videodrome!

never seen | want to see | the worst | bad | whatever | not my thing | good | great | favorite | masterpiece

I know. I know what you’re thinking. “How come he hasn’t seen Videodrome?! It’s so his thing!”

And it is. I’ve always had a thing for evil TV, strange and frightening things caught on VHS and physical media, etc. Seeing clips of Videodrome on the AMC 100 Scariest Movie Moments Countdown just crystallized that.

The Wild Bunch

NES, Super NES, PC

favorite video game character - Ohhhh god, this is hard. I feel like I have tons of answers, but picking one is hard. I’m going to go with Samus Aran from Metroid as she’s consistently one of my favorite protagonists. Close second would be Crash Bandicoot, who’s the only “platformer mascot” I still like as a character anymore.

least favorite video game character - This one might be harder because I’m not sure I have one I supremely dislike for any reason better than “they’re annoying”. I can’t think of a character I used to like ruined by say bad writing or design changes, at least not at the moment. (Actually, I really didn’t like DMC Dante so there’s that. Samus is a victim of both of those, now that I think about it, but I don’t hate her because of it.)

I guess as I’ve gotten older and as the games have gotten shittier, I could say Sonic, but I still remember when I liked all that shit as a kid. 

That mascot with attitude thing has been officially ruined with Bubsy the fucking Bobcat. Fuck that thing, why is there a new game? Fuck that thing, fuck it. He’s not funny, he’s not anything really. Say what you want about all the others from the same era, but he’s fucking garbage. Makes Gex look like a fucking godsend.

favorite villain - Fuck this is hard.

I remember I had an ask about favorite villains from anything, and Sofia Lamb from Bioshock 2 was on there. I don’t want to re-type all that, so she’s up there. I’d also put the Big Sisters from the same game in that spot.

I’ve always had the inclination that ‘Furtive Pygmy’ was a mistranslation in that Pygmy is supposed to be read as plural, that is a collective group found the Dark Soul, and to play with the meta, much like we found the game. Idk, nice theory. 

That might be. They only show the one pygmy in the cut scene, but I do like the meta-narrative it forms. We are all the Undead, and our curse is the game. It’s even a circle!

You know, considering THE RINGED CITY DLC will take place (partially) in the city of the Furtive Pygmy, I wonder if it’s going to pull the rug out from the “Manus is the Pygmy” theory the way The Nameless King kiboshed “Solaire is Gwyn’s firstborn.” Nice little speculation. Especially liked the significance of the ape-like aspects of Manus’s design. 

Dorkiest confession ever: I thought about doing a Berserk-themed playlist one time and this was one of the songs on there. (Also included: Nick Cave’s Up Jumped The Devil & Anthrax’s Fight ‘Em Til You Can’t.“)

Extra points for appealing to my admitted vampire mania.

omercifulheaves answered your photo:“Tonight, my fate is in your hands. These are all the horror movies on...”:

Obvious one is Re-Animator. Though Demons is a fun little slice of Italian gruesomeness. Though I'd also recommend Tourist Trap and The Gate a.k.a. Lucio Fulci for Kids! just for house straight up weird they are.

I don’t know how it is that I, World’s Biggest Fan of Evil Dead and Noted HP Lovecraft Enthusiast, have never seen Re-Animator before. I think it’s that scene that’s kept me away from it. Gotta be away from civilized company when it comes on.
