    You can't go to the movies without pop corn 😂. It's the number movie snack as far as I'm concerned. I also enjoy having Nachos and pizza once in a while.

    I still watch my TV from time to time even though I stream most of my movies now on Netflix. But some of those movies are what I will always relax to watch whenever they are showing. 
    All Ip Man's movies  Black Hawk Down  Sometimes in April  Valkyrie Fury

    God of War Ragnarok is one that I'm so much looking forward to its release by November 9th 2022 if I remembered correctly. It's my most anticipated game that's up for release this year.

    It was just about the same thing with most people during the pandemic of coronavirus lockdown. There wasn't much choice but to eat, sit at home, shit (poo 💩), bath, eat again and sleep on the repeat 🔂 every damn day. It was a very critical time. Once you're able to get your eating habits under control, and workout adequately, you will lose much weight quickly.

    The sooner gamers move on from all the expectations on the new Silent Hill Game or its remake, the better for everyone because I don't think they are willing or even ready to do anything on the game for now. I kinda enjoyed playing Tekken and it's why I'm very much interested in the 8th release of the game.

    Yeah, that's more like it. I think that what justify some games for me is its capacity to allow me enjoy myself! If a game is bad but was very much enjoyed, it's a win win for me. I really did had fun with playing Sonic Generations.

    Here's another Minecraft build that user Potomy took on. They created the world of Bloodborne in Minecraft itself. Bloodborne isn't a small game either, so to make something like this, I gotta give props.

    I've only seen one movie and one TV show I liked so far in 2022:
    Movie: The Batman
    TV Show: Moon Knight
    Didn't bother with Top Gun: Maverick or any of the latest MCU renditions, because clearly, I'm not the target audience for the latter.

    Heatman reacted to Akun in Last Game Played   
    Finally reached the pinnacle of the Mass Effect trilogy, Mass Effect 3. Got me thinking about how 'safe' art is nowadays. The appealing thing about art is that it's provocative and encourages conversations on hard topics. Everyone wants an easy answer nowadays to social issues that our 'art' and entertainment in movies and TV shows become bland and uninspiring, just pandering to the most popular and ideals on Twitter and TikTok instead of bothering to improve and expand our perspective on life and society with controversial questions.
    Mass Effect 2 had a few great examples of what I'm talking about, specifically Mordin's loyalty mission. It has aged like fine wine, and it goes to show why everyone considered Mordin's character arc the best-written storyline in the entire trilogy. His dilemma and denial over the genophage, along with his subsequently remorseful realization in Mass Effect 3, brought tears to my eyes. I remember choking up when I was questioning Mordin during his loyalty mission about the ethics of the genophage, and I wasn't just tearing up because of how heavy the topic was, but more so because I could feel Mordin's guilt and sorrow over the dead female Krogans that met their fate as an indirect result of his actions. It was so beautifully tragic, Mordin's dilemma and perspective.
    But more relevant to my point is that, Mass Effect gamers also had many heated debates regarding the ethics of the genophage. You would rarely get that kind of interesting exchange over a controversial subject in media today because the big companies want to keep the narrative safe. And it's not just the genophage either, but also the Quarians' enslavement of Geths, which are essentially a machine race in the simplest definition. However, the ethics of the Quarians' actions were anything but simple, so the heated exchange about whom were in the right - the Quarians or the Geths - was just as intriguing as well. I love how a video game of all things would get people discussing about such interesting moral dilemmas, even if they aren't important issues in the context of real life. That's what art should be, provocative.
    There were times while I was playing the Mass Effect games that it felt like I was watching an episode of Star Trek, specifically The Next Generation. The older Star Trek shows had always tackled intriguing moral and ethical issues with such subtlety and intelligence that the Mass Effect games' handling of their issues bore great resemblance. And it's not just the big issues like genocide and slavery either, but also the smaller inter-relationship conversations, how the crew members talk to each other like adults instead of using simple, dumbed down dialogue a teenager would use.
    The Critical Drinker pointed out a great scene that exemplified such a conversation when calling out how modern movies and TV shows use dumbed down dialogue only children and immature man-children would use:
    I just love this exchange so much, and I remember a similar level of depth among my conversations with the Normandy crew as well, albeit not as subtle as the conversation above. For example, it's easy to just dismiss Ashley as only a racist without understanding the nuance of her motivation. I might not have supported Ashley's views on aliens, but even I could see there's nuance between her humanist biasness and Terra Firma's "We hate all aliens" point of view. Complex issues like racism never have an easy answer, especially in our modern times when everything's grey. People tend to miss that.

    Heatman reacted to kingpotato in Do you feel like Netflix is producing more crap versus good quality programming?   
    Yes and no
    I think it really depends, like for example on one end we have great shows like Castlevania, Arcane, stranger things but on the other hand we have shitty productions like the recent Resideng evil show or the death note adaptation
    Basically Netflix has a lot of content, more than hbo, disney or prime, but more doesnt always equal to quality

    Heatman reacted to Yaramaki in Should we rework the points system?   
    I don't really see anything wrong with the current points system to be honest, it's not that it overly matters to me as i never came here to get free stuff as i came here because i wanted to talk about videogames and it's culture . I think i've got 2 switch games so far trough the bid for rewards program, while these are neat rewards and a nice gesture from dc, it should not be the main motivation to keep posting here and to me it never will.
    One thing you could do is make a overhaul of the Member of the month and reward second and third place also with some points, it would be more motivating especially for newer members that their posts are appreciated here and we want them to continue to post here. Maybe something worth considering @DC what do you think?
    If you are going to do a shop i'd probably say some vgr merch would be cool but i don't know i'd just rather buy it myself instead because you know some vgr merch would be cool tough. Yeah i wouldn't mind wearing a shirt that says Proud Moderator at vgr.com bitches or something along those lines lol. But i'll take anything i can get really even if it's cosmetics for the forum.
    I think the reputation is fine as it is and i'm probably the only one who sees it more as how reputable somebody their posts are as in quality posts, my goal is to reach 500 reputation by the time i hit 1000 posts, so far i'm on course. If i could reach it that means half my posts were liked and that is enough to put a smile on my face and to keep me motivated to continue putting time and effort into my posts, even if some take me over half an hour to write.

    Heatman reacted to kingpotato in Have you ever hid things in your cart based games?   
    Back in the days when the internet was still not as common as it is today, we used to sell and buy porn dvds at school hidden in ps1 or ps2 cases xD
    But Ive never messed with an actual cartridge though, I never attempted opening one but I guess thats the reason why its a good place to hide things

    Heatman reacted to Empire in Who else doesn't watch TV?   
    I've always watched a lot of tv shows and movies, and I often connect with people over it. Not just dates but friends too. It probably won't work if a potential partner doesn't watch anything at all, I imagine we would quickly run out of things to talk about. Also I would like a partner to watch tv shows/movies with me. It's annoying when you want to watch something but the other person wants to do something else instead...
    It's not a deal breaker, but we would have to have something else in common. But I guess my ideal partner would also be into tv shows and movies
