- The Heist task is a lot of fun, and heightened a little by recent news
- The Technicolor Dribble task provides that "you don't see this on TV anywhere else" variety
- The Bop Alex task is another wacky point system one. I'd say the 'name a unique food' aspect somewhat detracted from it, though I get the purpose of it.
- The final task is free-for-all and sport-adjacent, which I think suit the live environment best. Greg's - errr, acting? - was also great
The thing that has bothered me the most about this series is Reece and Maisie being too competitive - to the point of cringe, at times. I didn't notice any of that in this episode.

Comment on Gore. - Wrath (2025) in ~music
DFGdanger (edited )LinkThe band uses a period in their name. Since I couldn't make a tag ending in a period, might need to figure out a different one. Could be misleading if just left as "gore". They're relatively new,...The band uses a period in their name. Since I couldn't make a tag ending in a period, might need to figure out a different one. Could be misleading if just left as "gore".
They're relatively new, with just 2 EPs out right now. One from this month and one from last year. People have compared them to Spiritbox and Sleep Token.
A few other recommended tracks from me: Pray, Doomsday, Orbiting.
Fun fact about the vocalist, Haley Roughton: she also works as an engineer for NASA(!)

Comment on US Supreme Court allows order forcing Google to make app store reforms in ~tech
DFGdanger LinkThis part is still really strange to me. If I buy Google Play's listing of an app from the Epic Games Store, who gets a cut? Can Epic alter the price? Set their own sales? Does Epic mirror all the...make Play's app catalog available to competitors
This part is still really strange to me. If I buy Google Play's listing of an app from the Epic Games Store, who gets a cut? Can Epic alter the price? Set their own sales? Does Epic mirror all the files and thus pay for the bandwidth costs for downloads and updates, or is it just more of a pointer to Google's servers?

Spoiler for the chess challenge
Every time you lose/reset, they give you an additional Queen (replacing a pawn). I can't remember if I needed 3 or 4 Queens to win but I just cringed at how in my failed attempts the AI was able to have such great harmony with their pieces and slowly trapping my Queens while I couldn't piece together any kind of attack.
I'm glad Playstation folks get a chance to experience it, if they didn't already on PC or something.
I don't feel any desire to buy this for myself. I am curious about the new missions, but I'll probably just watch someone play them on YouTube. I'm still satisfied with the Master Chief Collection on Steam. The game in the series that I think needs a graphical overhaul the most now is Halo 3.
I'm not really interested in multiplayer anymore, so that's not a concern for me. I don't know how much I care about them adding Sprint. This clearly isn't an endeavour to preserve the exact original experience.
Cortana lines were noticeably re-recorded, which probably will be great in some spots but be mildly annoying (like when a remix or cover of a song you like sounds wrong) in others. In this sample she seems more chipper. I loved her voice work in the original trilogy (was pretty annoyed with how much she got left out of 3) and I'd be happy if she keeps getting Microsoft money forever. Maybe the Cortana voice assistant will fully be a thing in the future. I just hope the changes here are good.
The jackal shields don't look good to me. Too transparent, and too vibrant of an explosion when they pop. The blood on grunts doesn't look good either. Pre-release footage, yadda yadda, hopefully it improves.
The allied marine AI still looked janky as hell. I'm somewhat surprised they showed it off. It was acceptable in 2001 but if you're modernizing things, you should really not have them stand around like morons while you yell at the screen "GET IN THE FUCKING WARTHOG, SHINJI!"
You're going to get to use a bunch of weapons that you couldn't in the original. Picking up the energy sword off that gold elite would be pretty cool. The Assault Rifle is the 32 ammo one, which is disappointing to a lot of people. If they appropriately sprinkle the new weapons around to compensate I think I'm OK with it...I guess it mainly affects newer players in the early levels (edit: and The Library). If they are committed to remaking the other games, I could see having the weapons consistent across them as a positive thing.
