See, I’m not excited at all, even if preliminary footage looks somewhat promising. It’s not from the original devs at id, which might be a good thing since the first Rage  was mediocre... but on the other hand, those guys went on to make 2016's DOOM, so they’ve improved quite a bit. The new developer is Avalanche…

I suppose the new comeback to Shapiro should be “facts don’t care about your popularity.” He accidentally tipped his hand, and revealed what matters to him most.

But hey: Did you know that Steve could have picked up that ol’ hammer any dang time he wanted to, from Age Of Ultron up to its destruction in Ragnarok? The Russos would like you to, apparently, making clear in the interview a point that the movie itself leaves happily ambiguous: Captain America has always been worthy…

Every time I hear Liz Mair speak, she reminds me of the club scene in Trading Places, where a woman says “and she stepped on the ball” in the most stereotypical aristocratic accent:

Google’s Home devices are all now rebranded Nest, which makes it a lot easier to keep tabs on everything. The Google Home Max Nest Hub Max is the first major Google product announced under the new naming conventions

I’d say it sapped any creativity in Sonic, for something decidedly more generic looking... driving the car right into the uncanny valley ditch.

Vampire Weekend dropped a new album today, which is big news in rock because, well, apparently this is the best that rock can offer at this very moment.

The link I provided is the European one

Gangsta’s Paradise was released in 1995, which approximately the last time Sonic or Jim Carrey were relevant

I’m not sure which is more pathetic: fabricating a year-long friendship for revenge, or taking spoilers that seriously.

My 5yr old wants to see it quote “look at the detail, it looks bad ass”. But he’s been playing Mortal Kombat 11 and watching Ryan’s Toy Review on YouTube all week so I don’t really know where his head is at.

I want to believe you, but I haven’t been able to confirm that. I’m not saying you’re wrong, though, I just want certainty, dammit.

How the fuck are they just NOW getting that message? Ever since the first teaser poster came out it’s been unanimously negative, including from the top people of Sega themselves.

“Oh yeah, I love their first albums” - these were groups a friend of mine had in high school on the other side of the country in the mid-2000s and only ever put out a couple EPs with three songs. Bullshit radar was going hog wild.

Sonic is such a thematically incoherent concept in the first place that it’s a terrible idea to even try to turn him into a narrative-driven film, but if you did have to do it, you should at least avoid the Super Mario Bros mistake of grounding it on Earth. The concept is totally nuts, so you may as well go balls out…

No centrists that will do nothing for 8 years

I’ve always liked her, but I’ve been hesitant to embrace Warren due to perceived uneelectability. But she’s starting to lure me in with her consistently in-depth policy proposals, that, quite frankly, make Bernie look like a chump. He talks a good game, but I want comprehension and the hard work of studying up for the…

I voted for Sanders in 2016. I eventually came to regret it for many reasons, but one in particular is that he was clearly unrefined in policy and lacked comprehension of many of the issues he would face as president — and, more alarming, it didn’t seem like he was doing much to fix it. Hillary was certainly flawed,…
