Falling Inn Love is one of my favourite movies

His comments about the future of voice acting leads me to understand why the VA industry in Japan has transformed over the past decade. Japanese VA work has largely merged with idol work, hence why almost every Japanese VA must be able to sing, dance, talk up a storm on a radio show, MC events, serve as hosts, and basically become a living brand. His comments about translators taking too many liberties with the source text resonate with me as well. I despise it when translators decide to move around a sentence when there was absolutely no need to. If a line says "Paris is 100 kilometers from here" there is no reason to change to adapt it as "It's 100 kilometers to get to Paris" completely reversing the subject's location in the sentence.

SINCE WHEN WAS THE HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONG COPYRIGHTED??

I still wanna play half life 3 after over a decade 😢

Wish they would have gone heavier and louder with the soundtrack that game needs more rage sound

"It's too gamey" "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know Doom was a FUCKING DOCUMENTARY!!!!!"

Goated interview. I would love more interviews who were working on Dread!

Rejoice, my friends. This is the last Metroid related interview we've seen before the inevitable showcase of Metroid Prime 4 at the upcoming Nintendo Direct next week, probably on Tueasday. A new era is upon us, the wait has come to an end at long last.

Robe ain't so quiet anymore all of a sudden, wth?

NOTE: This was a nightmare to edit due to the video being all out of sync when it saved(unsure why that is) and my audio leaking into Stephens audio, I tried to salvage it as much as I could but now and then you will hear an echo of my voice, so apologies. Stephens audio is otherwise very clean and crisp. This has been a long time in the making as I made contact with Stephen back in November 2022!!!! So it took a year and a half to make it happen.

Rip & Tear got me into metal.

Were they high?

Mick Gordon is a fucking god. All hail grand master Mick!

Mick literally all of your songs in DOOM 2016 are fucking cool, rip and tear is a whole other level

Super Metroid is the goat

That was such an iconic moment. The moon appeared, and i instantly knew what to do, and it felt like there was no way it would work, and yet...

Is that Omni man? 💀

Funny the QC check was called "Overwatch"...

Also if I remember correctly, they didn’t even want guitars for the Doom 2016 OST and they wanted it to be like a sci fi techno kind of soundtrack. Glad we got the industrial metal soundtrack for Doom 2016, really sucks Mick got screwed over in the end though :(

GOAT of workout tunes

Dear Alphabet People: No one, and I mean NO ONE, is “threatened” by you and your ideology. Just tired. That’s it

Portal reloaded: hold my beer

Rip and tear is my second favorite.

It's so weird that i just went straight to portal 2 without ever playing portal 1

"I don't hate you."

critical failure

Should’ve gone like: “It feels to game-y” “WELL YOU’RE NOT GONNA F*CKIN PLAY IT ANYWAY ARE YOU JACKASS I’M PUTTING IT IN ANYWAY”

Does this mean we owe combustible lemons to a late game decision to have the boss fight end on the moon?

Ironically the best track of doom 2016

Thoughts modern devs will never have again

Yeah they cooked with portal 2, I still play it regularly. Don’t even know what I’m doing half the time just following muscle memory, but always so much fun.

WAIT WAS DISTRICT 9 a halo project?!

District 9 ugly guns Halo 4 and 5 a little ugly guns horrendously ugly shotgun

Buddy needs to get his glasses checked because i dont see any resemblance 💀

I love How this led to “what if Wheatley accidentally woke her up after quoting god?”

I think that if they didn't have her immediately recognize you players would probably think that you are playing as a different character

Wait, but how did someone even copyright the fucking happy birthday song!?

Brother does not know halo

Id & Bethesda: "This isn't what we want." Mick: "Yes it is, you just don't know it yet."

Delusional bungie devs think they are more relevant than they actually are

how disappointing with such a small reason.

Taths why purchased etertrnal istead of 2016 its the same fakin game

Everything is different, don't BS that much, moron😊

I always imagined she was humming the bear went over the mountain, because it's the same melody, and thematically worked because we were getting closer to GLaDOS' surprise.

Just a Bullpup

That first idea was kinda cool. The reason why you would rebuild her would be because shes the only way out of the hell hole.

Ah, that's why Cave Johnson's sickness with moon dust seemed so out of left field. It made him have more character than just "crazy american dream guy", though, so that's... Weird but ok.

Damn such great idea I had my mind blown when I realized this Anyways, I miss you Wheatley we could had been friends :(

The new aesthetic was nice, but it felt kinda lazy ngl

The only similarity I see in the two rifles is that they are both bullpups. That is a very minor connection. Almost everything else is different.
