Helldivers 2 isn't the only Unofficial Movie Adaptation | The Best Games Ever Podcast

- It’s clear from Helldivers 2’s marketing that the game is directly inspired by Blair-era Dutch arthouse anti-war movie Starship Troopers. It’s also clear from playing it that Warhammer 40,000 and the future war bits of Terminator have made their mark on the project, and with its sprawling, player led, strictly PVE campaign engendering a keen sense of community among players, it’s rather like a wholesome war-themed social club for 90s teenagers. As a Nearly 40 it feels laser-targeted at my exact levels of pop culture cutoff, shooting skill, and associated decrepitness.
It takes a lot of willpower after a play session to not immediately open Netscape Navigator and e-commerce that poster of the grey alien that says “take me to your dealer” and also one of Gillian Anderson doing a pout. But my wife wouldn’t let me put them up anywhere, so it would be a waste of £18.98 plus shipping. I would advise current teenagers to never grow up and move out: that freedom is an illusion. Stay at home where it’s cheaper and nobody bats an eyelid if you cover your bedroom walls with folk off the telly in sultry poses. What the actual fuck was I talking about.

Can't believe no one went with Deadly Premonition as an adaptation of Twin Peaks
"It's a bit different to True Detective" is a good description of Sam & Max, that kind of insight is why I listen to this show
Amped 3 (2005) is clearly a remake of the classic film Out Cold (2001).
The social crimes of Connor continue p.s Tom was robbed
The recent (and excellent) point-and-click 'Excavation of Hob's Barrow' owes a lot to the 2013 British horror film 'The Borderlands'.
Both are fucking fantastic and worth the punt.
YES! I didn't know about the film but that is a cracking game

@@MrVg247 Worth the watch. It's secondary protagonist is a sceptical overworked videographer sent off to do the work of three and ends up glumly necking cans in an Airbnb, in Devon of an evening (no parallels for sure)...until the third act, where Hob's Barrow holds back, this one goes full-on.
Genuinely a great watch that mixes grounded realism with Neolithic/Lovecraftian bleakness.
Oh my god Angel of Darkness, what a banger haha, that should of won
This is the most cheated out of a Tom win I feel
First comment supporting Tom. Second comment with a "saved you a listen" for Tom so you can skip him
Tom was robbed
Jim does hold grudges, he’s fuming Tom has a fanclub
Week 2 of asking for Burns to come back on the podcast
Babylon 5 is great. Tom and Connor have no taste
For anyone else like me who finds Tom's inane rambling shite impossible to listen to and skips it, he picks Football Manager.
You must skip a lot of the podcast, then - Tom
I took Jim's criticism of Dune seriously last ep. He's now reminded me that he's right into Babylon 5 so his opinions on the genre are questionable at best.
They're very similar, they're both things that start out well and get exponentially worse while having the world's most annoying fans.
