#285: Live with Alison Sudol at LeakyCon 2018

Happy holidays! This week we are going back to LeakyCon in Dallas, where The Ringer's Mallory Rubin and Jason Concepcion interviewed Alison Sudol about Queenie Goldstein, writing, creation, and more. This was conducted BEFORE CoG came out in theaters, so maybe now is a great time to revisit everything we heard. 

 

We'll be presenting more of these interviews between now and the day we return in the second week of January! Enoy! And make sure to check out Mal and Jason's podcast, Binge Mode: Harry Potter — they truly are some of the best Potter podcasters in history.

Final Fantasy XIV Review | 2020 ver.

У игр-сервисов, помимо очевидных минусов, есть и очень заметный плюс: со временем они (как правило) становятся лишь лучше и богаче на контент. Минусы исправляются, новые плюсы появляются. То, что начиналось как проба пера, может вырасти в магнум опус.
Final Fantasy XIV – как раз такой случай.

Я написал по ней два обзора: один – в 2013-м, сразу после её выхода, где довольно сильно её раскритиковал. Второй – в 2015-м, после выхода дополнения Heavensward, когда я оказался ей вполне доволен.

С тех пор прошло ещё четыре с половиной года, на протяжении которых я писал в бложик очень мало, потому что я играл в фф14. Для меня это главная игра всего десятилетия. Сейчас, в 2020 году, в ней уже столько всего, что я и не знаю, о чем говорить. Почти всё хорошо, если не отлично. На сей раз – и в сценарии тоже.

10 лет финалкоблогу

Сегодня блогу исполняется 10 лет. 30 января 2010-го я его завёл, чтобы нести людям весть о том, каким говном непременно будет тринашка и какое зло представляют собой Торияма и Табата. Со временем блог переформатировался в коллекцию текстоскриншотовых летсплеев и обзоров – и это к лучшему. Новых финалок нет, а на старые надо смотреть критически. В итоге к десятилетию блога я поднажал – и закрыл все номерные части.

Сейчас ещё раз прошёлся по оценкам, подкорректировал их немного: после прохождения фф3 и фф5 я стал чуть меньше ненавидеть фф4, после ремастера фф8 скинул ей целый балл – раньше я слишком лояльно к ней относился. В ближайших планах – написать добавку по фф8, обновить рецензию на Record Keeper, а потом заняться финалками с DS. Там есть что обозревать – как хорошее, так и плохое.

В идеале надо будет хотя бы кратко отрецензировать все части, которые я прошёл, включая те, что перепроходить уже не буду никогда (4TAY, Chocobo’s Dungeon, TA, TA2). Тогда миссия будет выполнена)

Ну и – в очередной раз выражу надежду, что в 2020-х:

  1. Ремейк будет хорошим и выйдет целиком;
  2. Анонсируют фф16 от толковых разработчиков;
  3. Выпустят побольше разных интересных спиноффов не для мобилок.
Тогда наконец в блог будет о чём писать!

Final Fantasy Record Keeper Review 2020

В конце 2015-го я заглянул в Final Fantasy Record Keeper – поглядеть, что это за мобильная финалка такая. Ей тогда было полгода всего, сейчас же – пять лет, и всякая игра-как-сервис за это время растёт. Не стала исключением и Record Keeper – так что пора бы в ней вернуться ещё раз.

Во многом я хочу это сделать потому, что с 2015-го я не переставал в неё играть. На то есть целый ряд причин. Во-первых, она (почти) бессюжетная, аутентичная и посвященная знакомым боям из знакомых финалок – она не городит что-то своё, а ремикширует знакомое и хорошее. Во-вторых, она очень мало требует от игрока в плане инвестиций времени/денег: я стабильно каждый день выигрывал там три боя за десять минут, и этого мне хватало, чтобы тащить почти весь актуальный контент и даже не задумываться о том, чтобы занести разработчикам бабла. Я до сих пор не заплатил ни копейки и всем доволен. В-третьих, в ней такие длинные лоадинги, что играть на ночь идеально – за десять минут усыпляет. Ну и в-четвёртых, она продолжала постоянно обновляться. С обновлениями не только появлялись новые испытания, но и расширялись возможности бойцов, и менялась мета.

Palast & David Cay Johnston: How Trump Stole 2020 — A Warning!

In this conversation, award-winning investigative reporters and authors Greg Palast and David Cay Johnston follow the (stolen) money, and expose the billionaires and ballots bandits who are systematically stripping the United States of its assets, just as a vulture fund would with a corporate entity caught in its talons.

RiteAid BonusCash rewards for Apr 5-11, 2020 ... 20% ROI on Xbox, GameStop, Apple, Google, Netflix, Nike, Panera, Fandango, AMC, &#38; Regal GC's

It's a bumper crop of BonusCash at your local Rite-Aid this week, with not 1, 2, 3, but 4 gaming GC's, and 1 of those gives you even more options!

  • Nike, GameStop, Netflix ... $5 BonusCash when you buy $25 of these items.*
  • Google Play, AMC Theatres, Apple AppStore/iTunes, Fandango, XBOX, Panera Bread, Regal Theatres ... $6 BonusCash when you buy $30 of these items.*

FYI, "GameStop" is a big win, because not only can you purchase (additional) XBOX, PSN, Nintendo, and Steam credit there, but you order the GC credit from their website, and get a redemption code instantly after checkout.
 
For those who are new to the "Rite-Aid wellness+ reward BonusCash" program, you'll receive the $$$ amount when you purchase the minimum amount specified. Gift-cards within the same bullet-point share the same "limit 2 offers per customer", but you can earn rewards on the other bullet-point lines as well. For example, you can purchase $25 each of GameStop & Netflix (or $50 of GameStop) ... and still be able to purchase another $60 mix of Google & Apple & XBOX, and can stagger your 4 GC purchases throughout the week.

Screenshot of 2 separate GC offers (bullet points) included here:

Spoiler


Small print (at bottom of weekly ad) and BonusCash T&C's included here:
Spoiler


FYI ... the limit of "2 offers per customer" is tracked by your "wellness+ rewards" account, so you'll need to limit yourself to 2 offers per line item throughout the week, and not just "2 per transaction" or "2 per day". At the time of purchase, your printed receipt will indicate how many of the "limit 2" you've met, but neither the website nor register will indicate ...

  • if you've met the limit of 2 items per BonusCash group with the current transaction, or
  • if the transaction you're about to complete exceeds the limit of 2 per week, or
  • when your BonusCash rewards will expire.

Luckily the mobile RiteAid app (and website) list your individual accumulation & cashing out on a per transaction basis, so that's a good way to keep tabs on the expiration dates, since you only get 30 days to spend the BonusCash once earned. Good luck!

    Final Fantasy Remake - Double 10 Dollar Rewards for Preorder?

    Not sure if it was a glitch or intentional, but I got a notice this morning saying that my copy of Final Fantasy Remake Standard Edition had shipped.  That made me happy enough, as I was afraid it might be delayed - had it pre-ordered on Amazon but it shifted to delivery unknown earlier in the week so I canceled it.  But, back on topic - about 3 hours later I got a message that I had a 25 dollar reward.  I did not have anywhere near that many points before so I looked for where they came from.  When I clicked on the Final Fantasy VII Remake purchase, this is what it said:

     

    Total Points: 1142

    My Best Buy Visa Purchase Bonus - 83

    $10 Dollar Certificate for Final Fantasy VII Preorder - 500

    $10 Dollar Certificate for Final Fantasy VII Preorder - 500

    Base Points - 59

     

    Did this happen to anyone else?  Considering I preordered it when I still had Gamers Club - so got it for 51.23 ... this has been an especially Cheap Ass Gamer type of purchase.

     

    P.S.  Sigh, I really miss Gamers Club.  Hate spending 64.04 on new releases (that includes local tax).
