This is the first Halloween we've had here where it really feels like Halloween outside. It's cold and windy, tons of leaves blowing around after a big storm. Ominous John Carpenter synths are wafting through the air. There's a guy with a machete on my lawn. Picture perfect holiday.

Before we duck out to enjoy our Halloween, we've got the Watchcast schedule ready for November. And for this year's turkey month, we're watching some profoundly stupid action movies of varying stripes. Check out the full schedule over on the Patreon! www.patreon.com/posts/142531...

I don't see how that's considered a mean tweet. that's just what happened.

this is not a "you must bring Keita back to restore balance" plea or anything. he has moved into new planes of weird and I'd never try to fight whatever peculiar gravity pulls at him. just an acknowledgement that I will enjoy these games OK and never get the same feeling I did from the originals.

new Katamari is probably the best of the post-Keita efforts, but it still has that same intangible problem as the rest of them, in that it doesn't have the same spirit as the first two games. this new one is weird in very agreeable ways, and the soundtrack is excellent. but the aura is still...off.

it is sort of pleasing to say syllabically but that doesn’t really cancel out the other stuff you said.

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults-Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe - living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons

This book series needs a reboot. What 21st Century Mysteries would you like to see the man in the rumpled raincoat solve??

yeah it’s one hundred percent in that Sleeping Dogs category of not being particularly ambitious but having one or two qualities it does so well that it barely matters.

that game has its problems but it nailed its setting and tone better than nearly every other open world game that’s come out since.

Skate Story is the best Nextfest demo I've tried so far. you're a demonic skater trying to eat the moon and getting menaced by philosophy cops. I learned to ollie by touching a forbidden monolith. parts of it are soundtracked like a Jon Bois video. can't recommend enough.

If the US can ever vomit this stupid era out we're gonna need widespread all-ages education on basic facts like when you'd see old billboards or MST3k shorts advertising the concept of hand washing or being good.
