I remember playing this in the early 2000s as a teen - why do I feel so old, lol.

I'm quite digging the art style and the unique navigation of the maps. I'm curious why they call it 30 birds though as we've only seen one bird so far.

I'm not going to lie, I saw the render of the controller yesterday and it looks kind of weird in my opinion. I like the VR headset though.

I agree. Silent films definitely still hold up today, but they require a different kind of attention and appreciation. Movies like Metropolis and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari have a timeless quality because of their innovative visuals and artistic vision. While the storytelling and acting may seem a bit exaggerated or slow to modern audiences, the atmosphere, expressionism, and sheer creativity can still leave a lasting impact. It's a bit like appreciating classical music or fine art. It's about understanding the context and the pioneering work they represented in their time.

Personally, I wish Firefly had more seasons. It had such a unique blend of humor, heart, and sci-fi adventure. The characters were so well-developed, and the world felt so rich, but we only got one season! The movie Serenity was a decent wrap-up, but I always thought there was more story to explore, especially with the Reavers and the larger galactic conflict.

Dark Matter is highly underrated in my opinion. I loved its premise and the acting was really good. Too bad it only lasted three seasons.

Metro (1997) - 8.5/10

When Naruto arrived in Konoha after Pain levelled it, it was a coming of age moment for Naruto

Felt for the classic GBA Pokemon experience so I went and fired up Fire Red to channel my inner Ash Ketchum.

I know what you mean. When my bro used to live in Albany and it was like -30 degrees, even the hot water felt ice cold.

I love games that give me a sense of progression without it feeling grindy. Whether it’s through a skill tree, crafting system, or unlocking new abilities, there’s something satisfying about seeing tangible improvements. Some games make it feel like every decision matters, while others let you experiment and play around with different builds. What’s your favorite method for leveling up or upgrading your character, and why? Do you prefer a more traditional approach or something that feels more unique and interactive?

Do you enjoy the straightforward, guided experience of linear storylines, where the narrative is more controlled and focused? Or do you prefer branching storylines that offer different choices and paths, allowing for more replayability and a sense of personal impact on the story? I love both in different contexts, but I’d like to hear what others think. What makes one better than the other for you?

For those who don't know, it was a kid-friendly console with interactive storybooks and educational games. Did it live up to its reputation, or was it just a quirky piece of Sega history How well did the touchpad and pen work? Any favorite games or memories?

The Sega Activator was one of the first attempts at motion controls in gaming, promising a more immersive experience. Released in the early '90s, it was meant to work with games like Street Fighter II and Virtua Fighter. However, it received mixed reviews due to poor accuracy and limited game support. For those who remember, did it live up to the hype, or was it ahead of its time in all the wrong ways?

Both were pretty out there for their time, especially for sports and fishing games. Did either of these accessories ever enhance your gaming experience, or were they just novelty items collecting dust? I’ve seen a few old ads back in the day, but I never got the chance to try them.

Mockumentaries, with their blend of humor and satire, have a unique way of blending reality and fiction. Whether it's shows like The Office or films like This is Spinal Tap, they often walk a fine line between absurdity and realism. Do you enjoy this format? Or do you think it’s overdone? How do you feel about the way they play with the documentary style - does it enhance the story, or does it feel too forced at times?

Western films and TV shows have long been a staple of cinema, but with changing tastes and a shift towards more diverse genres, some argue they’ve become outdated. Do the themes of lawlessness, frontier justice, and rugged individualism still resonate with modern audiences? Or is the Western genre stuck in the past, unable to adapt to today’s storytelling sensibilities? What makes a Western work today, and are there modern examples that prove the genre is still alive and well?

Are there any actors you immediately think of when you think of a certain era of television? For example, I associate Bryan Cranston with the 2000s for his role in Malcolm in the Middle, even though Breaking Bad came later. Or maybe you think of someone like Sarah Jessica Parker when you think of the late '90s/early 2000s and Sex and the City. What about you? Any actors whose careers are forever linked to a particular TV era?

There have been a lot of actors who started in TV and later made successful careers in film, but who do you think made the best transition? Was it someone like Bryan Cranston, who went from Breaking Bad to big movies like Godzilla, or perhaps someone like Jennifer Aniston, who left Friends and thrived in films like The Break-Up and Marley & Me?
