@robocoprocks: Stumbled across a cache of comments from circa 2014 when Gamespot broadened its coverage, did ya?

@Tiwill44: After Gearbox was Embraced in 2021 -- not '15 -- 2K's already-existing contracts with developers didn't change, so the same money that was supposed to go to independent Gearbox now went to the 2K-owned Gearbox.

Not much should change apart from tolerances of Gearbox's higher-ups.

Plenty of games have borrowed H.R. Giger's aesthetic. About time someone leaned into Peter Max's.

@itsnota2mer: Or as justification for whatever P3's equivalent to Golden and Royale will be.

...and fans are pretty much settled on the idea that Warlin Door is a (non-copyright-infringing) version of Martin Hatch

God, the thought of the late Lance Reddick reprising Hatch in that one AW2 sequence -- you know the one -- just leaves me giddy.

“Tetris might have something to say about Microsoft's claim that Minecraft is the best-selling game, considering Tetris has sold more than 500 million copies.”

The 500M+ figure is cheating as it’s for the Tetris brand, not a single game named Tetris. It includes ALL Tetris games, including sequels, spinoffs, sequel spinoffs and more. It would be more comparable to put the Tetris Company’s claim against all the GTAs, or all the Call of Duties. It would still likely win, but it would be a fairer comparison.

I’m still not sure if I’ll get this. If the Blu-rays included all the supplements that the original Kino Lorber press release listed, it would be a no-brainer buy. With Universal forcing them a day or two later to dump them in the name of “cross-region parity,” I may be satisfied with my old DVDs.

Yeah, that was the thing that caught my eye as well.

@olddadgamer: It's not really in "droves" recently, though. It's made the vast bulk of its box office already. There's not too much left.

Show your work!

SMB made $18.6M last weekend. With a VERY generous 30 percent drop, it will make $13M this coming weekend. The following weekend, "Fast X" opens and SMB will lose even more theaters. Again, assuming that same generous 30 percent drop, it would make only $9M.
