*Sigh*

Well, I’m getting one.

I’m not sure how I feel about the release date. On the one hand, I want it now. On the other hand, I can budget for it better with waiting time. On the first hand, if it only came out a month earlier I could get it for Christmas and feel less guilty that I spent so much on it.

But enough about ‘Trump Tower’, if you know what I mean.

As wars go, the Golf War is really below par.

They’re very pretty, but I have so many problems with them nowadays. They’re out of scale with everything except other Play Arts Kai figures (and even then only the more recent ones), they’re largely made of noxious rubber plastic that refuses to degass, so they both feel fragile and are unpleasant if you have any…

The next biggest problem on the list: The fact that nobody’s made a better map than Dust2 in a long enough time for a zygote to grow to full term, be born, and grow to puberty.

He isn’t, really.

What, aren’t you all fired up for Metal Gear Pachinko: Tactical Arcade Action? The only pinball game in the world with half-hour cutscenes! It’s free to play, but you have to pay to skip if you need to go somewhere anytime soon!

Excellent stuff. It looks close to the official art style, as done by Yoji Shinkawa and Ashley Wood.

The colonization of what would become the United States in one headline.

I’m going to go out on a limb and assume the grille and headlights are going to combine to make the car look like an angry fish.

I’ve been developing a sneaking suspicion that PETA have started going for pity money. Not pity for the animals, pity for them.

Oh no! Don’t cross the Aussie/Kiwi streams! It’s madness waiting to happen!

‘Dolphins’ is taken too, you know. Honestly, you aren’t coming out of this looking remotely good.

No, I’m being serious. That grammar error - treating the collective noun as a plural - is metastasising. People are already saying that it’s so widespread we should just accept it as a natural evolution of the English language.

YOU’VE PLAYED: 13 Minutes
GAME PURCHASED: 01/04/2011

It’s hardly limited just there. The BBC keeps making that specific grammar fuck-up everywhere. “The NHS are”, “The Labour Party are”...

The ‘This One’s For You, Bill’.

“We put our faith in Blast Hardcheese!”

I’ll now rewatch that episode 500 times to make sure it wasn’t there.
