You Were Never Really Here Review

The latest game news from IGN - one of my fave channels ever - check it out

As an audience, we’ve grown accustomed to heroes who are accustomed to violence. The human beings in our movies frequently fall into life-or-death situations, and frequently have to kill other human beings to get out of them, but then it’s off to their next adventure. No big deal. As if that type of experience wouldn’t leave a scar on even the toughest of hides.

You Were Never Really Here is a film about those scars. It strips away all the unflappable “cool” that we frequently take for granted and leaves its characters vulnerable, wounded, and possibly dying from the emotional strain of living a brutal life. It’s not just a great thriller, it’s a great film about psychological collapse, with a protagonist who is, in every scene, just one more troubling thought away from giving up entirely and ending his own life.

HTC Vive Pro Review

The latest game news from IGN - one of my fave channels ever - check it out

The biggest problem with the HTC Vive Pro is that there just isn’t that much to say about it beyond the fact that it has the highest resolution available for VR right now. Don’t get me wrong: boosted resolution is definitely nice. But for the sky-high price, the vast majority of people are going to be better off waiting for the real second-generation VR headsets.

Outwardly, the Vive Pro is significantly nicer than the original Vive (read the review) thanks to its extremely comfortable headstrap and removable high-quality headphones. It’s similar to the Vive Deluxe Audio Strap, which is a $100 upgrade to the original Vive, and it does an excellent job of distributing the weight of the headset. The cable and breakout box have also been refined, simplifying the bundle of three cables into one combined plug, and there’s now a power button on the breakout box, making it easier to turn the entire headset on and off.

The Walking Dead: So THAT'S How Lucille Got Its Name

The latest game news from IGN - one of my fave channels ever - check it out

Warning: Full spoilers for the episode follow...

Was it cool to hear the origin of Lucille's name, even though it wasn't exactly an extensive one? Of course. After the way Negan flipped out when Rick put his hands on "her," we kind of had to hear the story sooner than later.

Would this episode have been better served though as a full hour-long Negan flashback? Hell yes!

By the way, before we dig into that, did anyone else feel a little weird about Lucille being the name of Negan's wife? If he's telling the truth, of course. Lucille helps him get through the world the way his wife, who was dying, helped him get through his past life, but Negan's also sort of lusted over that barbed-wire bat in a way where he seemed to get turned on by all the heads it was about to bash in.
