Shin Godzilla

I didn't realize how much I needed Hansi Kürsch on this song until I heard him actually sing it.

Current mood: Also an obvious joke, but eh, it's a low-effort kind of day.

Akira from Rival Schools.

Goth Samus is a gay trans woman.

My list is pretty safe, but here we go. Blazblue: Hakumen. I'm not deeply attached to any BB characters, but he looks cool. :P Guilty Gear: Sol Badguy. Kind of a fun personality, and I enjoy playing as him most out of all the cast. Killer Instinct: Orchid. Cool weapons and moves, fun to play as, great theme tunes. ("Touch me and I'll break your face!") King of Fighters: Kyo Kusanagi. Great character design, satisfying to play as. Last Blade: Yuki. A modest but appealing design, enjoyable gameplay. Mortal Kombat: Raiden. IGOTASAAAAAW Primal Rage: Vertigo. I would've said Sauron, but Vertigo looks and feels more original. Samurai Shodown: Haohmaru. Few things in fighting games are more gratifying than landing his standing HP in CVS2. Soulcalibur: Siegfried. I can't go wrong hitting people with a massive sword, and I like his design. Street Fighter: Poison. Winning trans rights, throwing trans lefts--I'm down for that. Tekken: Kazuya. A stone-cold badass with some of my favourite gameplay in the franchise.

Been spinning a lot of The Plague Within and In Requiem lately.

Been giving this quite a few spins lately. I prefer the vocals on "Sword of Doom II" but the overall sound of this version.

A variation on Run.wad: you have to skate away from hockey-playing Revenants while "O Canada" plays.

I'm not sure I have an ideal Doom movie--I think competent filmmakers could approach it in various compelling ways. But I'd love to see one based on DOOM 2016 with the style and tone of The Punisher: War Zone, a visually arresting movie that revels in hilarious amounts of violence:

I'm not sure Serj would be my first choice for a symphonic rock cover of Blue Oyster Cult, but I love it anyway.

Witch Mountain. I'm always up for heavy doom/stoner riffs + female vocals. How about some adventuring music?

It's a weak trailer, but it doesn't exactly upset me considering 1) it's 30 seconds long, 2) the movie doesn't come out till autumn, and 3) we knew from the start this would be a low-budget capitalization on the franchise. That said, I see no reason to withhold comment on what little has been shown. Some of the finer details look okay--the BFG, moon base, imps, etc. The filmmakers have more than a passing familiarity with the games; that much seems certain. But if ANNIHILATION does much stylistically to distinguish itself from the 2005 film, the trailer doesn't make that clear. The sets and costuming evoke the earlier movie, for the most part, and it generally looks like the kind of low-budget DTV sequel you'd see in the '90s and 2000s. Granted, a few of those transcended their obvious, sometimes painful limitations--an example I enjoy is GUYVER 2: DARK HERO. There's a chance ANNIHILATION could do that, too. Am I counting on it? Not really; I'm just saying it's possible. But it's hard to glean that potential from a short trailer filled with dumb slogans and few distinguishing features. In short, I can't say the movie will be so good that it deserves a better trailer. But I look forward, at least, to a longer trailer.
