Cyberpunk years latter when?
Likely after the expansion is released. Though, it will be a massive undertaking, so don't count that as a promise.

I've previously recommended this group's song "Antagonist" which seriously slaps, and Taxi's a similar mix of funky bass sounds, infectious riffs, and tangible energy. Marking their album for a listen is definitely a no brainer for me.
Between these two songs and their appearance on Bring Me The Horizon's dramatic 1x1, it's apparent these ...

What feature (s) do you wish more games would have?
It's less I want more games to have a certain mechanic, but for there to be more exploration of certain mechanics in games. I think Alpha Protocol has the best conversation system found in these cinematic Action RPGs, but there's not rea...

It seems that the reputation of video game adaptations is very rapidly fading between Netflix's Arcane, Castlevania, and now, The Witcher. No, I wouldn't count this show as being on the level of either of those programs, but that doesn't mean it isn't damn entertaining, or remarkably well made and acted.
The acting especially, and not just...

I really didn't give this game the credit it deserved back when it released. I think it might've been from comparing this game to everything else on the market, rather than letting the game stand on its own.
Are the graphics as technically impressive as other titles of the era? No. Does it have an art style that has aged a million times be...

More specifically, I'm recommending the Music Video, which I don't normally go for. Typically, irrespective of their budget, I find they just don't flow together with the songs themselves.
This one?
Nuh uh.
The music video helps make the song.
Just watch it.
You'll thank me later.

In my last video, I brought up the infamous Jamie Gresimere quote…

In it, Jamie himself explains his issue...

Would you consider destiny a mmo?
Nope, but it's definitely the offspring of MMOs, a live-service. When people call Destiny an MMO, it doesn't surprise me, because many of the MMO conventions are in Destiny. The grinding, looting, raiding, and more grinding. That is what I think comes to peoples...

There's still more material for me to recommend from Battle Tapes, but this was their last release. Whether its a tease for the groups' direction or their swan song, I don't know, but it's an endlessly catchy track all the same.

It's sad, having no more films from Martin McDonough to recommend, because I easily rank up there with all the greats. The writing, directing, and performances in his films are sheer poetry, and Thrill Billboards doesn't change that. What changes is how much more dramatic it is.

That's the status of the video. I'm waiting for one animation from someone. As soon as it arrives, I'm uploading, and y'all will get to watch before the official release on either Saturday or Sunday.

The following came as a result of exploring the features from Bring Me The Horizon's "Post Human Survivor Horror EP", an album I'm still blasting this year, also recommended. Nova Twins were featured on quite a serious track in 1x1, but Antagonist is definitely not that.

It's pretty common for people to say they prefer quality over quantity. Often it's said because it even sounds nice. It sounds "proper" to wait for a gourmet meal than shoveling down another Big Mac, but there's a component to this bullshit food analogy which many ignore.

There are some meme pics out there comparing a Doom/quake level to a Call of Duty campaign level. Basically to show that level design has declined level (or perhaps just map design). Do you believe that level design has, on the whole, gotten worse?

Holdfast Nations at War's a game I've not played as much as I'd like to, but really enjoyed each time I do log on with friends. It was previously about the Napoleonic Era, but has recently been expanded to included World War I.
