  1. I just thought it was odd that you could play new games like The Outer Worlds for such a low price point. Guess it's a way to get people to subscribe. The monthly subscription will sure become mor pricey in the future. I buy most of my games on Steam, and older games on GOG, but in recent months I got myself more and more games on the Epic game store. The Epic store/platform/launcher sure can use a lot more improvement. Not fond of the exclusivity-deals either. However I do like the choice devs/publishers now have on which store/platform/launcher they wish to release. (usually the one that can persuade them with the best deal). Might even have Steam lower their 30% cuts. In the end Epic is just another extra store/platform/launcher. (but one that needs some serious improvement and needs to stop the exclusivity-deals)

    Brexit :(

    On the upside of all of this, the whole Brexit-thing might make for a great British comedy show / self-mockumentary sitcom in a few years. I can already imagine the dark sarcastic eccentric surreal humor and (in)competent naive absurd over-excited strong-willed characters. Honestly can't wait for it. It's gonna be so good.
  3. Parasite (Gisaengchung) (2019) Korean movie about 2 very different families. Great cinematography, good mix of genres, ideas, acting, etc... Liked it. One of the better movies this year. Highly recommended. (in my opinion wayyy better than okja, snowpiercer and the host, which I thought were all pretty bad)
  4. So, wait... You can play The Outer Worlds for an entire month for only 1$ (with the discount, 5$ normally) because it's included in the Xbox Game Pass for PC? That's madness, lol. Why would anyone even buy it for 60$ on the Epic game store or wait a year to buy it on Steam? Might as well play it now for cheap, and buy it later on with a big discount.
  5. That would make this thing almost a must-buy for me. I play most of my Gameboy games via emulator on my phone now... Which is nice, but a dedicated device with actual buttons would be so much better. Shipping and tax might make it a bit too expensive though.
  6. So, can this device only play games from old Game Boy cartridges or could it also play roms from an SD-Card as I imagine some game cartridges might be quite hard to acquire?
  7. Saw The Lion King 2019. Gf thought it was cute, but not as good as the original Lion King. I thought it was utter trash. No expression in the faces, gestures, environment, songs, etc... whatsoever. The original Lion King was imo one of the best Disney movies of all time... Unbelievable how Disney could f--- it up this badly. Us. Some more garbage.
  8. We're binge-watching Big Mouth at the moment. I was reluctant to watch it because of the art style, but the comedy and wit in it is surprisingly good. I experienced irl lols. I recommend giving it a go.
  9. GOG GALAXY 2.0 Combines multiple game libraries / platforms into 1! A global game launcher. And it's really really good. Awesome!
  10. Love that movie. Great stuff by Masaaki Yuasa: - Ping Pong the Animation - Kaiba - The Tatami Galaxy & the Movie: Night Is Short, Walk on Girl - Mind Game Love that movie.
  11. Nintendo says the Switch Lite is not replacing the Nintendo 2DS / 3DS handheld devices... Yeah, right. ? Let's be honest. The Lite is the perfect replacement. ?
  12. One of my all time favorite games of the last years. Love it.

  14. Episodes - Surprisingly good dry-comedy drama series about 2 writers trying to make a tv-show in Hollywood. Stars Stephen Mangan and Tamsin Greig from the absolutely brilliant comedy show Green Wing, and Matt LeBlanc from Friends. Liked it. Shameless - Drama-Comedy about a family living and coping with poverty and daily life. It's ok, but there are very few funny moments, character development is weird, story has lots of plot holes,... I like the concept though, and some of the actors are good. Not getting any better by the season. I think some people like it because of the shock value, and/or connectivity to the characters? Dunno. I think I would like it betters as a more realistic in-depth drama / commentary. Brooklyn Nine-Nine - Comedy about a police department. It's ok. Meh. The humor is not my cup of tea at all. Don't like the Jake Peralta character. So that doesn't help. Reminded me a bit of The Thin Blue Line with Rowan Atkinson. Friends - Was fun to watch it again after all the years. It's ok. Addictive. Parks and Recreation - Comedy about the daily happenings in the department of Parks and Recreation in a small town. Love it. Great dry absurd awkward humor. Very welcoming and warm. Good dialogue. Amy Poehler / Leslie Knope is really good in this. One of our new favorite shows. House of Cards - Just started watching. Seems interesting so far. Temptation Island - Reality tv in which 4 couples are separated and then dropped on an exotic island with singles... to test their relationship? I don't know why, but I like watching this, well, the series from Belgium-Netherlands that is. A guilty pleasure. Doctor Who - Adventure series. My gf liked the seasons with David Tennant as the doctor. But the whole Doctor Who thing is not for me though. I feel it has too many plot-holes and dumb stuff going on. Guess it's more for young adults.
