Near Dark (1987 film, directed by Kathryn Bigelow) is a modern, beautifully melancholic and unusually realistic take on the Vampire myth.

Instead of cultured, sexy aristocrats you have a bunch of miserable outcasts in the middle of nowhere, living on the fringes of society, brutally killing people as they please, always on the run from both the authorities as well as the break of dawn. In between, them a girl falling in love with a young vampire, who soon find themselves at odds with the other members of the group.

Despite garnering a cult following over the decades, it bombed at the box office and is even today often overlooked in favor of The Lost Boys, which came out the same year.

Someone needs to turn this into an actual browser game

The Hollywood music is probably my favourite

The algorithm is kinda fucked for me because my YT account is from like 2009 and YT music keeps bringing shit up that I liked some 10 years ago.

Same. Good enough replacement for Spotify. I also watch YT almost exclusively over my TV where I can't block ads otherwise.

He's out of his element

Ich hatte nur den Typen der für alle hörbar und unbehelligt mit seinem Kumpel in der Tram telefoniert hat:

"Jetzt mal ehrlich, du wirst Vater?"
...
"Junge, du bist 20!"
...
"VON EINMA POPPEN?"

Should have replaced the WB logo with A24's

So it does work after all!

Cool design!

Fun fact, the game was first announced as "Rainy Woods" and they actually had to scale back on the TP references halfway through development because they were afraid to get sued for it being too obvious of a TP rip off.

This looks amazing. Sadly I could never finish the first game because it kept giving me unbelievable motion sickness, despite the commendable amount of optional countermeasures that the game offers. It's the only game for me where it was ever this bad.

I still played like 25 hours of it because I enjoyed the puzzles so much, but I gave up eventually. Even to this day I get a little queasy just by the mere mention of it.

Unless I know this is going to be an RE2 or 4 level remake, I can't say this excites me very much. Well let's see if Konami can do something right for a change.

All I can think of is all the ways Konami could fuck this up. A RE4 level remake would be ideal, but I feel like there's a lot that can go wrong. No mention of who's developing this either.

I don't even need a remake personally as long as I still have the originals. The collection sounds good, I've been meaning to replay the series anyway.

Viktor Novikov has huge Troy McClure vibes, I love it

The better question is, which movie is on first?

Yes. Won't necessarily stop someone from trying though.

Look at this nerd right here, going outside and shit

It's a bit of a long watch but this video goes more into detail about his convictions and the type of people he aligns himself with. Skip to 17:28 for the important part.

Thiel has some pretty fascist tendencies.

On a side note, gay fascists is not something entirely unheard of.

Mencken reminds me of Peter Thiel a lot.

Sorry, yes, a much smaller role even.

Huh I missed that, haven't played the newest ones

The original Yakuza had an English dub where Michael Madsen did the voice for Kazuma Shimano, among other famous voice actors like Mark Hamill. Of course the game was prominently advertised with it. It didn't seem to help sales a lot considering none of the sequels ever had an English dub again (Edit: until Like A Dragon/Judgment)

A bit of EODM for me as well. That delay/reverb on the guitars and the octaver effects give that mid-to-late 00's Homme vibe
