At least Pierce Brosnan was pretty. Brianna doesn't even have that going for her.

So John just spent 30 hours per week over the past 3 weeks rewatching a TV show. Because he's "busy".

I thought this was Natalie posting all this or has Brianna forgotten she's supposed to be taking a break from Twitter?
You shut your whore mouth! Pierce Brosnan was the first Bond I saw so maybe nostalgia is blinding me, but I always enjoy his era of Bond films. I think Golden Eye was the first one I ever saw. I'll admit that Die Another Day wasn't great, but it wasn't that bad as a Bond film. It's got all the right tropes (Big villain with a big weapon, OTT action, cool cars, a chase etc, ect). Those surfboards were dumb though.

So James Bond sperging, complaining about the number of women in the tech industry and acting self righteous on Twitter. Just a normal day in the life of a video game developer.
no developing games, though. that's just crazy talk

Brosnan was a good Bond, but he had to contend with inconsistent scripts. GoldenEye's a great flick, so's The World Is Not Enough, but yeah, nostalgia's blinding you with the other two!
And John Flynt sucks.

Well she owns 2 Apple Watches so I guess that allows her to do her day job of being harassed via Twitter AND watch TV series that symbolise the absolute worst of US TV Too Many Series Syndrome.

Absolutely none, unless one more piece of shovelware that isn't even on Steam is a "difference."

Natalie O'Brien? We have dismissed that claim.
Also, all bonds have their charm, reflecting the time periods of their creation.
Sean Connery was suave, sophisticated, and confident. He's the centerpiece of "old" Bond, and what most people think of when they think of 007.
Roger Moore was laid-back, professional, and self-aware. He's got an interesting take on the character despite the general flaws of what he had to work with. I always saw Moore's bond as the natural evolution of Connery's bond after being in the field for many years, but that's just me.
Brosnan was forward-thinking, intelligent, and empathetic, something that was actively used against him in a few of the movies. Like Moore, I sometimes wonder how much of Brosnan Bond's shortcomings was due to the writing and how much was due to myriad slip-ups in development. Guy's a damn fine actor and did Bond justice, I don't think the scripts gave him a lot to work with.
Daniel Craig was brash, reckless, and prone to fucking up, portraying a younger Bond with less experience. I really like Craig Bond, but that's mostly because I love the scenes his inexperience actually lends themselves to. It makes Bond come across as a bit more human, and we get a grasp of how he might have become the Bond we all know him to be down the road.

Is there a game that is self-aware like the movie Feast? Because that would be awesome...
No... Unless the tropes are used as a jab at other movies that use them as a crutch, they tend to be very samey and predictable...

I feel like most things Brianna likes, she has to preface with "Its not great from a feminist point of view". Good grief, we have her telling us that she thinks a game that actually has sexist stereotypes in it should be a GOTY contender, and she views herself as one of the most important women in tech. And yet everything she gushes about seems to be sexist in some way. If she was actually a feminist figure, wouldn't she be able to recommend a few things that weren't sexist?
By the way, Until Dawn isn't half bad. It's not great or anything, but I'd recommend it for horror or adventure fans if you see it on the cheap. I didn't get any real sexist vibes, though, just some moments of bad writing and dull characters.

And it begins...
Wu: "I have my own opinion about a game."
Dissenting Person: "I do not agree with your opinion and I not a straight white man."
Wu: "Oh well now I will back pedal on my original statement to appeal to my audience."
Every. Single. Time.

Actually most people criticize it for having cringe-inducing dialogue and extremely obvious plotholes like "why the fuck would you run out in the middle of a snowstorm because somebody did a shitty prank on you?" "Why would you climb over a huge fucking wall when the gate is jammed instead of simply walking around it using the clearly visible trail to the side or trying to budge it open?"
Plus nobody in the games act like actual people do, they act exactly like how old people think young people act. It's a pretty major problem when your game is based around human emotion in the middle of a crisis, when you can't relate to the characters because they're all either incredibly douchey or dumb as a sack of shit.

But that is the whole concept of slasher film, "old people thinking that is the way young people act".
Brianna is right in this one, as painful it sounds. That games screams "cheesy slasher film" proudly.
