This will be the first time I've attended AWA in four (or is it five?) years. I've been out of the country and I did not attend during the covid craziness. I don't want to travel that far, pay that much money, and be miserably out of breath in a face diaper.

Heavens FeelSaw Dragonslayer. There were some things I liked about the movie. One is that the actors took it mostly seriously. The mossy and rocky landscapes reminded me of my long trek through Death Stranding. There was some crazy puppets a la Dark Crystal. The score was symphonic and adequate. It was shot on film in decent sets and properly lit. The script needed more work and the actor playing the lead resembled a mix between Slayn the wizard from Lodoss War and Janosz Poha from Ghostbusters II (and it turned out that it was indeed the same actor, so it is indeed a small world after all.) Yet I would have to say that I enjoyed it far less than Hawk The Slayer despite it ostensibly being a better film. Hawk the Slayer, in the words of a different reviewer, has the unique quality of a first-time viewer reassembling and rearranging all its parts inside his head to transmute them into a superior version - dare I say, the Platonic aspatial and atemporal Higher Form of Hawk the Slayer which could never be realized upon this imperfect, accursed Earth.
My final score of Dragonslayer is about a C++. Still better than modern Hollyweird movies but there are far superior 80s fantasy movies out there.

Heavens FeelI got the pork version of these and they were great. They are also relatively inexpensive and I can get multiple meals off of one bag. I first heated them in the microwave for 30 seconds before putting them on an oiled skillet and cooking them on the stove for about five minutes. For the sauce I used about a 1:1 combo of soy sauce and tobasco with an added shot of sriracha. image.png
@mwvdragon I don't mind more advanced graphics but the most important thing to me is fun games. Mario Kart 8 ran on last gen hardware but it's still very solid and fun to play. Inmo even after all these years Silent Hill 3 and Metal Gear Solid 3 still look very good, I hope nintendo and other devs for switch 2.0 don't fall into the trap of trying to make "cinematic experiences" instead of great games for us to play through.
