Yes, great movie. Especially if you don't know too much about it going in.

Cloverfield is a movie where anything that happens that might be interesting is in the background while you follow a bunch of unlikable asshats around and feel nothing as they die off one by one.
I also like the linearity
2 years ago I played several times through the Lightning Returns demo, so this XIII playthrough is partly because of my attachment to the FF series and partly because I want to get to LR.
This will be a fun year. I love Zelda and Final Fantasy and have played most titles in each series, but 2016 will be the first time when I have the console to play the new game at launch.

lacrosse is pretty intense
My brother used to be the head athletic trainer for a Major League Lacrosse team called the Chesapeake Bayhawks. The uncle of one of his best friends owns the team. Lacrosse is a very under-appreciated sport. Though, that is regular lacrosse. The lacrosse that is featured in the game is NLL (National Lacrosse League), which is an indoor league. But, yeah. Lacrosse to me feels sort of hockey like in its back and forth intensity.

I really don't care for it.

except shakycam and a solid third of the movie is about getting to know people you couldn't pay me to hang out with

That last Godzilla movie...man
Last year was really good for games but I think this year has the potential to be way better, at least for my tastes.

Cloverfield is an incredible experience, especially if you dig into all the ARG plot stuff.
I've been following the 10 Cloverfield Lane ARG and it seems pretty interesting so far, I'm excited to see what the movie is like.

It is like Demo Derby minus the game demos.
Watching it now. Answer is yes so far.
NMS isn't really an indie game with all the funding and promotion they've gotten from Sony, right?

I liked it a lot. Any content that gives Jeff a chance to talk about his past in the industry or go "hahaha holy SHIT!" at something is A+ content in my book.

Godzilla had way more screentime than Cloverfield did, and damn those parts were great. But american audiences wouldn't get it if you didn't have Military McWhiteperson running around screaming about his family.

I feel like Godzilla was way more of a tease with it's Godzilla scenes and that was really frustrating. Cloverfield just made it seem like there was crazy stuff going on that the characters are trying to get away from, sucks if you want a straight up monster movie but I felt it worked fairly well.
I loved the recent Godzilla movie. The audio was incredible.

That that last godzilla movie made more money than pacific rim is a crying fucking shame because it was such a terrible film especially when compared to PR.

Godzilla 2014 was worth it just for that last kill shot at the end. Fucking awesome.
RAVI DRUMS?
Awesome.

Matrix hit at a pretty good time when games were starting to become more cinematic after the awkward first years of 3D.
But yeah, I guess everything was Matrix for a while there.
Oh yes. This should be a gold mine.

that's like one of two times godzilla was in the movie. The rest was a bunch of bumbling human fuckwads who were annoying and terrible and fuck that.
the only time the humans are tolerable was when they all came flying out of the sky with those flares attached to them.

I can't handle those sports that are just constant action and people could score at any moment. It's too much for me.

I'm going to be so bummed when they completely forget about Game Tapes after three episodes.
it might make it closer to five, they seem excited about the idea

That's how I heard it. That after they were done watching and commenting they were going to run them again with no rewinding to get the raw footage online.
The funny thing is that The Matrix is it self is a loveletter to other movies and stories like Star Wars and Tarantino movies.

If he's already checking it out then maybe GameTapes is going to be pretty frequent. They recorded the first episode on Friday last week so maybe the second will be recorded tomorrow.

2004 or 2005 had "My name is Reggie. I'm about kicking ass and taking names. And we're about making games."
One of those years has a Gameboy Micro pulled out of somebody's pocket.

Is Bubble Bobble the most cloned game in history?

I know what you mean. So many times a team gets the ball/puck to the other end of the field/rink and turns it over to the other team. It can sometimes be exhausting (emotionally), especially if you have a rooting interest. When the ball/puck is in the enemy territory, you get excited hoping for a score/goal, When the ball/puck is in your team's area, it's tense and makes you cringe, fearing your team will give up a score/goal. Since these games are so back and forth, you can go back and forth through different emotions within seconds. That can be too intense for some people.

Pretty sure those were both 2005. I seem to remember 2005 as having more blunt trash talk about Sony/Microsoft than we're used to from Nintendo nowadays.
