I've read, re-read and re-read my re-reading of your comment, I'm confused by the use of the word "anal" was it a typo? Pardon my stupidity man, my head's fried entirely
I find it strange that Netflix decided to be anal about creative control with this over anything else in their library. They've done adaptio… morens in the past that have actually had the original creators creatively involved, like A Series of Unfortunate Events (which also had a failed live action movie) that had the series author on board as a writer without any executive meddling.
Anal can be used as a synonym for being overly strict or precise. Basically, he's saying Netflix was being too controlling instead of letting them have a pretty good level of freedom, which was something Netflix was supposedly known for.

If you don't mind me asking, what difficulty are you playing at? One thing I remember from my first playthrough on the PS4 (Normal Difficulty) is that the difficulty could fluctuate a lot in the early game. The first cauldron really stumped me compared to other missions with a similar recommended level. After that I got distracted with all the side quests and activities and I over-levelled, so the rest of the game was pretty easy.
Playing on normal and I'm still getting a good amount of trouble from certain enemies. At this point in time I've pretty much done every side quest available aside from the Frozen Wilds which I'm saving for after I finish the main story, and I'm still not finding myself particularly over leveled. I even have all my gear modded up.
Yeah, the janky cutscene animations are a thing in the PS4 version too.
I'd never actually seen anything about the game until now so I just thought it would have the usual Sony first party game quality to it. Good to know Frozen Lands might be a bit better.
I've played it for ~2 hours so far, so maybe I shouldn't count my chickens yet, but the game's running surprisingly well on my PC. No crash… morees, except for the first time I tried to quit the game and it freaked out so I had to brute-force turn off my PC. Better framerate than I expected too.
Some little things are bothering me about the controls too, but I haven't progressed past the first area yet so it hasn't been catastrophic in combat or anything. I think I just need to get used to it. I think you can hide different categories of map markers if it bothers you (you can hide all the campfires, machine sites etc.)

Ah, they decided to emotionally destroy me earlier than I expected. This season might actually be better than the previous for me, and I loved season 2!
Good morning everyone I hope you’re all having a beautiful Saturday morning yesterday was kind of whacked I’ve experienced an Karen incident at a Burger King and almost resulted into police involved.
I was waiting for my whopper order and well this guy wasn’t wearing his mask and he was creating a scene in the car and then he said the N word to this BK employee .
It's been so long since I've been here I had to google the link to the legacy forums because all of my bookmarks were of the old telltale.com/community format. o_o

Haha, yeah it's the first time I've heard it be used as a description of controlling or authoritative, only other time I've heard the word be used is because of it's other meaning, but thanks for letting me know

Finished Horizon: Zero Dawn and overall I really enjoyed it! Gameplay's a little jankier for a AAA game than I'd expect but it's still a lot of fun and surprisingly challenging. Either that or I'm just super bad at it. I was one of the lucky few to encounter very few problems with the PC port. In my near 40 hours if playing I only crashed once. I also experienced some stuttering in certain areas of Meridian, the biggest city in the game.
Voice acting is pretty mixed in quality. Ashley Burch is great as Aloy but the rest of the cast, both major and minor characters, including NPC's, ranges from good to pretty bad. The animations in the game are pretty damn jank, at times feeling like a bunch of action figures being moved around. Story is alright. It's nothing groundbreaking but nothing bad. I do love the setting and a lot of the backstory on how the world came to be. I also found the ending of the game to be surprisingly touching.
I'm pretty excited for the sequel. Hopefully it doesn't take too long for it to get ported to PC. If it gets ported at least, though I'd be surprised if it didn't at this point. I'm guessing there'll be at least a year between the PS5 and PC release.
Also @hemfbg, I started up a bit of the Frozen Wilds DLC and I can confirm the animations are a lot better, at least from what little I've seen so far.

In terms of more updates to big games these days, Techland just recently released their paid shelved-project-now-expansion to Dying Light: Hellraid.
What's even better is that they say there's going to be "even more adventures added for free this Fall." Which, first, is cool since Dying Light 2 is supposed to come out by the end of the year. Second, they're still releasing free updates?! (though it might just be more free levels to their Hellraid DLC. Still...) Techland best dev confirmed.
Sucker Punch just announced that a co-op mode will be added to Ghost of Tsushima this fall, where you can play through co-op story missions or four-player wave-based survival missions in the GoT: Legends update. That's cool.
Just started playing the game, just played a game where, for the first time ever, I made it to the final round, I was getting all jazzed up and then... You Have Been Disconnected. Motherfu--
Game of the Year 2020.
Also known as the only Battle Royale that's any fun.
Actual answer: You're just a bean being a bean whos trying… more to beat the rest of the beans in a series of platforming mini games by being a bean.
So again: Game of the Year 2020.
InGen did not read the part wheres its the only fun battle royale ever made because they came up with this genius concept called what if it isnt 20 minutes of waiting around but instead you actually play a video game!
(On a more serious note it actually is very good. I really dont like BR games but Fall Guys is a ton of fun. Doesnt even feel right to even classify it as BR as its nothing close to what other BR games are like. Its a lot like the show Whipeout where its a bunch of obstacle courses and you race to a finish or complete a task in order to go to the next round. Super fast to get in and out of games, a full game reaching the end is only like 10 minutes, theres no "Sure wish something was happening oops got sniped from across the map" type of gameplay either, and you can actually win without dedicating 12 hours a day.)
Disconnection Errors are the worst feeling. Finally got a team that didnt slam dunk their own goal in Fall Ball after getting it for round 4 multiple times, reached Jump Showdown and was me and 2 others and then "DISCONNECTION."
Wasnt even upset about it disconnecting at the final round, I was more upset it disconnected after I wasted my time playing Fall Ball aka worst mini game in the game for the love of god remove it and take the yellow team with it!
(I do wish only Hex-a-Gon and Fall Mountain were the only 2 final mini games. Jump Showdown is a ton of luck and the Tail mini games arnt bad in concept but the lag between players makes it a joke and its basically just a random chance of whos gonna end up with the tail. Fall Mountain and Hex-a-Gon? Those are the real guys.)

You're welcome. I grew up playing those games through the internet. I remember laughing my ass off to some of those fails and always felt satisfied to find references of other media through those games.
You really need to check out the latest game, "Completing the Mission". It's easily the best of franchise. Not only that, they also remastered the previous games with better graphics, better animation and the first one was remade from scratch to respect the continuity of those games. This is one of the video game franchises that got better with each installment.
Me, about to type "but those games are years old wtf u talkin about Aron"
The internet: Henry Stickmin is now on Steam
Wow. Thanks internet. And thanks Aron for bringing this to my attention.
Sam & Max figurines are reportedly out of the factory and almost available! A bit pricey for me, but I won't judge you if you buy four of them to recreate the time elevator scene.
InGen did not read the part wheres its the only fun battle royale
While it fits the genre of "be the last one standing" Fall Guys shouldn't be named a "battle royale game", partly due to the oversaturation of the market already and mostly because this is a BR unlike any others released.
Many, or practically all Battle Royales released thus far have tried to capitalize off the hype of PUBG and Fortnite. Many are generic shooters with nothing new. Fall Guys is something else entirely.
It's not a "murder everyone to be the last one not to get shot". It's "avoid the rising tide of 'lava' while completing this obstacle course" or "be the last person to hold onto the golden tail" or even "don't fall off this platform".
Poogers gets it, that this game is essentially like all those obstacle-course game shows like Wipeout or Splatalot, but because it is so focused on being a really silly, physics-based(?) platformer-type game, it's an amazing breath of fresh air in the Battle Royale genre.
I can't wait to see how this game evolves in the future with more stages (and hopefully more stable servers).

Not gonna lie, these actually look pretty decent to me.
And... It's kind of flattering as a fan that a Chinese knockoff company is selling Telltale-inspired Lego figures, of all things. Who the hell came up with that idea, because I'm a bit impressed?

It's been 8 months and 2020 didn't do anything but give us more shit than good stuff.

Yep, what Metallica said. Anal can mean being overly meticulous and whatnot. It's not just the butt thing lol.

Welcome back! Glad to see you around again
I just finished another essay.
I'm surprised you survived.
There's also a link on the "My Account" page, though it would be nice if Telltale would add the link to all the other pages, too.

This is the most detailed arm hair I've ever seen in a video game.

Fall Guys - Round 4 - Fall Ball - 13 players - 6 vs 7
Pain. Pure. Pain.
Currently installing Batman: Arkham Asylum, I'm looking forward to giving it a go
There's gonna be an announcement from WB Montréal about their Batman project at the DC Fandome event.
They just posted this cryptic tweet.
And there's also this website: https://r3dakt3d.com/
"We've been expecting you." 8/18. There's a timer counting down to 11am ET tomorrow.
FINALLY
Okay, I'll bite. What the hell is Fall Guys? Why is everyone talking about it? I haven't a clue.

No, you're wrong. The real game of the year is easily the Henry Stickmin collection and this one scene alone proves it.

Unfortunately it's been delayed indefinitely so there isn't a specific release date anymore. The Hellraid stuff is to help tide over fans.
Techland are fantastic though. It's insane that they're still so supportive of the game even after five years.

I snagged Sam but only cause I already have the Max plush. Equality!
Sam's gun seems to be experiencing some... performance issues.
Ah yes, my favourite Telltale Batman character, Angry Clown!
Must... resist... giving money... to bootleggers.
