Dwarf Fortress and Doctor Who? I... can't even picture it.
Edit: I don't know why I thought it had to be a Dwarf Fortress style game in the Doctor Who universe, but actually, I'd absolutely watch a show about some time traveling dwarves! Strike the Time Vortex!
Ok, this has been driving me crazy for seven movies now, and I know you're going to roll your eyes, but hear me out: Harry Potter should have carried a 1911.
Here's why:
Think about how quickly the entire WWWIII (Wizarding-World War III) would have ended if all of the good guys had simply armed up with good ol' American hot lead.
Basilisk? Let's see how tough it is when you shoot it with a .470 Nitro Express. Worried about its Medusa-gaze? Wear night vision goggles. The image is light-amplified and re-transmitted to your eyes. You aren't looking at it--you're looking at a picture of it.
Imagine how epic the first movie would be if Harry had put a breeching charge on the bathroom wall, flash-banged the hole, and then went in wearing NVGs and a Kevlar-weave stab-vest, carrying a SPAS-12.
And have you noticed that only Europe seems to a problem with Deatheaters? Maybe it's because Americans have spent the last 200 years shooting deer, playing GTA: Vice City, and keeping an eye out for black helicopters over their compounds. Meanwhile, Brits have been cutting their steaks with spoons. Remember: gun-control means that Voldemort wins. God made wizards and God made muggles, but Samuel Colt made them equal.
Now I know what you're going to say: "But a wizard could just disarm someone with a gun!" Yeah, well they can also disarm someone with a wand (as they do many times throughout the books/movies). But which is faster: saying a spell or pulling a trigger?
Avada Kedavra, meet Avtomat Kalashnikova.
Imagine Harry out in the woods, wearing his invisibility cloak, carrying a .50bmg Barrett, turning Deatheaters into pink mist, scratching a lightning bolt into his rifle stock for each kill. I don't think Madam Pomfrey has any spells that can scrape your brains off of the trees and put you back together after something like that. Voldemort's wand may be 13.5 inches with a Phoenix-feather core, but Harry's would be 0.50 inches with a tungsten core. Let's see Voldy wave his at 3,000 feet per second. Better hope you have some Essence of Dittany for that sucking chest wound.
I can see it now...Voldemort roaring with evil laughter and boasting to Harry that he can't be killed, since he is protected by seven Horcruxes, only to have Harry give a crooked grin, flick his cigarette butt away, and deliver what would easily be the best one-liner in the entire series:
"Well then I guess it's a good thing my 1911 holds 7+1."
And that is why Harry Potter should have carried a 1911.
Alien insinuates itself into peaceful and kind community plotting to wipe out humanity. Might actually be a good game. Have to stop the alien before it triggers apocalypse, except you don’t know which person is the alien, and you can’t just kill off everyone to solve the problem. Have to keep it on the DL because everyone will either panic or think you’re nuts because you’re looking for an alien.
So a spaceship full of journalists are trying to escape a fleet of Yakuza so that they can report on a breaking story. Gameplay includes making/breaking ties with factions of Yakuza and reporting on smaller stories along the way. Featuring Ansel Elgort and Ken Watanabe
Dune 2 and Flight Simulator 2020. Which… actually has an existing crossover DLC, believe it or not. They recently released it. You get to fly an Ornithopter around the movie scenery. I haven’t tried it myself as I prefer realism, but supposedly it’s pretty good.
Flight out of LaGuardia is forced to ditch on water after its engines ingest a gaggle of broomstick-riding witches and a hippogriff. (Sully + Hogwarts Legacy)
Okay, so we've got an entire new range of Family Guy skins for Guild Wars 2. I can sort of see Stewie as an Asura...
and then we realize it's a Meg episone. A 175kg, 210cm Nord Meg episode.
I don't watch a lot of series so that's probably Sword Art Online Abridged... x OpenTTD
So it's probably about getting stuck inside a video game but the stated goal is to build a transportation network that spans the world. And if you're bankrupt in game, you die for real.
I guess this patch's event has you exploring an endlessly deep space labyrinth with no space anchors so your only choice to keep the party alive is synthesizing consumables from enemy drops?
Murder at the End of the World ends up set in God of War: Ragnarok. Tyr's temple in Midgard works as a stand in for the murder hotel. Atreus plays Darby. Odin plays Alan. Mimir is now Ray, the AI floating head.
Apparently I'm playing/watching The Talos Principle 2.5: Solo Leveling. I guess 1k is gonna stop solving puzzles and thinking about philosophy, and just use his newfound powers to blast his way to Athena.
Shadows over Loathing x The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again Today
I'm guessing a Lovecraftian world filled with silly jokes, but with more delicious food and annoyed tongue clicking? To be honest, Shadows over Loathing is weird enough that a man-sized house cat just fits right in there.
Blocks with the number 2 improbably keep popping up out of the quantum foam, and Matt O'Dowd has to keep additively combining them, like with like, to reach 2048 before the universe fills up completely.
