i really want this to do well because i love ghost in the shell but this doesn't give me the right impressions
I dunno, looks like standard GitS "Oh, we're doing something with this franchise again? Let's soft reboot." to me.
Looks good enough for me to watch it, at the very least.
Yea the whole "origins" story vibe they got going is a bit frustrating. Then again when this movie was announced I thought it'd be god awful so if it's merely passable then it's done good. More upset about GitS:Arise tbh.
I thought the trailer got the visuals right, but didn't offer anything in terms of the underlying substance, and it's the thought provoking stuff underneath that always brought me to GitS in the first place.
It's expected that they'll dumb it down a bit I suppose, and it's hard to put deep thinking shit in a trailer for an action movie. But yeah, I also think that while there's perhaps hope, the trailer did not excite me.
K this definitely isn't what I was going to link originally but I like to try and go different enough from what everyone else links on the day. Give it a listen.

I skimmed the thread and it definitely looks interesting. I don't really want to commit to another thing when I've got plenty of other stuff going on (and I'll admit one of those things is WoW raiding, which I've really been enjoying this expansion).
I'm not sure how flexible that system is to guest characters, but I wouldn't be opposed to jumping in here and there.

It's pretty flexible. Like the game needs a core group. but having a rotating slot is totally doable. You should check it out and see if you can make session 0 and maybe you'll get invested in what we got going :D

We have 5 interested, you and soniv make 7. if we have a rotating slot or people drop out (havent heard back from gahlo) i'd be fine running up to 6 at a time.

lmfao i actually watched most of this and got addicted even tho its fucking terrible I enjoyed it.
Also note - the red stars on a Netflix title are based around what Netflix thinks you'd give it. If it has 5 stars, it means Netflix matched it to you believing you'd like it enough to give it 5 stars.

Oh wow I did not know this. We'll see if the wife keeps wanting to watch it. Surprisingly it was her idea, partially because she noticed the 5 stars. It seems pretty tropey.
Anyone else playing Shenzhen I/O? I'm finding it super fun. It's an indie programming-puzzle game where you have to place chips and link them together while also writing code for the chips with a very simple/basic assembly-like language.
