The one about polar bears dying before next Metroid Prime got me. 

My personal favorite headlines are the one about how hard Bethesda worked on Fallout 76 and the one about how gamers just didn't understand the vision for Anthem "needing to come out in past fiscal year."

I haven't seen that quote yet. I want to read whichever article that's from. 

I'm curious what those first two are about exactly. Deathloop seems inspired by certain 70s films ... Ghostwire's first scene where everyone's on their phones has me thinking it'll somehow be a commentary on modern technology. Interesting stuff I would have missed had you not posted it, cause I'm not really watching E3 too closely. 

I dug the Keanu reveal in the Cyberpunk 2077 trailer and got a kick out of the now-viral "No, you're breathtaking!" exchange, but I'm not sure yet if it's my kind of game or not. 

I actually started playing Mankind Divided today and man was that a long recap. I'm still basically in tutorial mode for the stealth stuff. Not sure if choosing the shotgun instead of the sniper would have made a difference or not. Probably should have gone that route if so, since I prefer action to stealth. 

Dear Esther, 

Yes. 

Must share this very-acquired-taste song about Castlevania II:

I'd say this game gets lots of attention, but it's mostly negative attention or apologist YouTubers. A lot of kids had an issue with how obtuse it was, others just remember the good times. 

That's funny about your brother deciding final form bosses were enough to make him quit gaming. I kinda get it. lol 

This reminds me I've never seen Lawrence of Arabia. 

I want to say it was What Remains of Edith Finch? Also a good game for very, very different reasons. lol 

Winnie the Pooh on Netflix also isn't a remake, so that makes sense. I have mixed feelings about throwing money at Disney for remaking a cartoon that was already fine, but my friends wanted to go and I had a good time, so it is what it is. 

Nah, they could have had more monster fights and less humans within more or less a similar structure. 

I might have been too tired, cause I went for a matinee not expecting much, but I just wasn't invested in any of it. 

Weirdly enough, I loved Aladdin and I had no expectations for that either. I figured they'd screw it up, but it ended up being a really fun time for me.
