@mach_go_go_go: Looks cool, but also have you played Snatcher?
Fuck yeah, son. But I feel that in terms of tone, Snatcher is about as far removed from Blade Runner as it gets. More Bubblegum Crisis than Ridley Scott.
I've also played the first disc of Policenauts (emulator broke for disc 2).
Also played Random Access Memories. Lovely game.
But... In terms of the best cyberpunk/sci-fi noir experience to be had on PC, I'm sticking with Gemini Rue. That ending... Goddamn. Adventure games rarely end well - it's difficult to cap the buildup of a narrative experience with a puzzle, but that one was pitch perfectly executed. It fit tonally with the 'Tears in Rain' spirit of the source material it borrows so heavily from, but is still a it's own take on the what-is-a-mind theme.
Fun Fact for anyone interested: The girls of Life is Strange at one point (depending on your choices) will sit down and watch BladeRunner together.
That "Fun Fact" is probably the most French thing I have heard in my life. Let's watch this together for the noir...
I hope this doesn't go the way of the Apple Watch where it was all anyone could talk about for a week or two after launch and then reality set in that it was an overpriced, underperforming first-generation device. Despite upgrading my PC last Fall, I'm going to wait until we see who shakes out to be the frontrunner in this race.
Okay so I am going to go with someone that I always hear bad stuff about, and I've even said bad stuff about her acting, but I think that with the right material, she is great.
I'm talking about January Jones.
She was just bad in X-Men First Class. I didn't believe for a second that she was Emma Frost. So if I had just seen that one movie, I would certainly be on the anti-January Jones side.
However, she was fantastic in Mad Men. I don't know if it's the character, the script, the people she worked with or what, but she made Betty Draper a real person and someone that I could understand as a viewer.
So I would say January Jones, with minor explanation. :)
She is also fairly layered in The Last Man on Earth.
Does Emma Roberts qualify as falling under the hated/considered untalented category? I know quite a few people "hate" Julia Roberts and thus Emma Roberts might be considered "guilty by association" (she is her niece).
I love her cute girl with a salty mouth demeanor acting style in everything she has been in over the past few years.
I love Austin and Jeff. They have similar tastes in a lot of things, but very different perspectives. Maybe I just like that they make hip hop references and nobody else in the crew really picks up on it.
Stuff like this podcast just makes me wish the two groups interacted more often. Like maybe a TNT that's just between the two crews and not a community thing or something.
Totally agree. I feel like everyone has a very specific thing in common with each other bombadeer, Jeff and Vinny is always brought up, but Jeff and Alex is a whole different thing. like you can't just break them into groups it's more Venn diagrams then anything.
Flight Club: Drew and Vinny.
Fight Club: Jeff and Jason
Screened: Alex and Rorie
Ska Club: Jeff and Alex
Film and 40's: Drew and Dan
Gundam Club: Austin and Vinny
Import Club: Jason and Austin
Brad, Jason and Alex should do something together, I think it would be great, even if it was just combined disdain in Dan.
