The World According to Bobb
by Joe Soria Follow on twitterJoe’s Letterboxd As a wise person never said: “a great actor is like porn, you know it when you see it.” But there has always been a level of actor that usually has a long glass ceiling for stardom. They spend their careers in interesting smaller roles or “that guy”…
Data Dump: 2019 Games Lists At-a-Glance & Raw Thoughts/Impressions
Now that our games lists episode for 2019 is out, I thought for this year I’d provide an accompanying article. First is simply my own lists in order at a glance for easy reference. Following that, I keep a sort of stream-of-consciousness, lightly edited log of my impressions while playing each title or upon completion…
Game Developers Choice Awards 2020: Nominees/Predictions
A new year (and decade) has blown in, which means it’s time for some more ‘best of’ discussions, specifically from the Game Developer’s Choice Awards, whose 2020 nominees were recently unveiled. I also covered The Game Awards back in December, but for better or worse, I always put a bit more stock in the GDCs, and…
The Game Awards 2019
The annual, and let’s be honest—rather blandly named, The Game Awards were recently held, and winners handed their trophies. Which in turn means it is time to compare and contrast my thoughts and picks for the year against the actual recipients after the dust has settled. As is my tradition, I focus on a few…
Telltale’s The Walking Dead: The Final Season: Upon a Sinking Ship
Warning: Major spoilers ahead for The Walking Dead: The Final Season ______________________________________________________________________________ As some may be familiar with by now, and as covered on our industry wrap up a bit earlier, Telltale games spectacularly and unexpectedly imploded last year, shuttering the studio and leaving the fate of The Walking Dead series that put them on…
Game Developers Choice Awards 2019: Winners
The GDC winners for this year were announced about a week back, and so it’s back to me to check in with my predictions and see how I fared. Let’s just press start and go into it then: Best Audio: My pick: Red Dead Redemption 2 GDC: Celeste Wrong on all fronts to begin with…
The 2019 Errant Indication Awards
Hello one and all, and welcome to the inaugural Errant Indication…ies where, along with your help, we pick the best movies of the year because the Academy has no idea what they’re doing. If you’re interested on our thoughts on that, we did just put out a couple of episodes — The Morganaissance: A Conversation…
Resident Evil 2 Remake: That RE You Like Has Come Back in Style
Already in this new year I find myself having a bout of déjà vu, in a good way. Back in early February of 2017, I wrote a piece on Resident Evil 7 and how it had, in my opinion, achieved a much-needed revitalization of the long-standing survival horror franchise. It sold quite well and was…
Game Developers Choice Awards 2019: Nominees/Predictions
Time marches on, the new year has arrived, and thus the GDC has announced their nominees for the upcoming awards in March. And as I’m no exception to being a slave to time, I also once again will go over certain categories, (i.e. the ones I’m personally most interested in) giving my thoughts and predictions on…
The Game Awards 2018
This year’s Game Awards have just come and gone, and so it is time of course to insert my thoughts about the nominees and winners, in some of the categories of main interest to me at least. As usual, my standard disclaimer of I played what I was able to play stands, but will of…
