Agreed

So, uh... the headline is blatantly wrong, as he was NOT in fact arrested by an off-duty cop, but rather by on-duty cops, which I imagine is required legally.

It’s worth noting that the person Boba is talking with in that ‘interview’ is fellow Yogscast member Pedguin. Drakon Astron is the compliation / highlights channel for the Yogs. 

Summoning Salt’s documentary on Matt Turk’s Records for NES Punch-Out! is his best work.

As a piggyback, it’s also a potential indicator of OTHER skips throughout the game.

After watching the video (which has a few laugh out loud moments) the most surprising thing I learned was Sakruai doesn’t drink water but only Coke Zero. And even Nintendo themselves will have it prepared before his video presentations. Say what?

There is a hobby called “speedrunning”, which involves trying to complete a game quickly. Somebody speedrunning a game will have already played it to death and be looking for new challenges.

This illustrates how uncreative and unfunny most “memes” actually are.

According to SpeedRun.com, the world record has already been broken using the new skip:

The inevitable Summoning Salt video better include her song.

That’s rad. What a fun little moment for her.

Boba rules. So fun to see her explode for something like this goofy accident because she is the sweetest.

actually watched this live. I think at first she was pissed cause she thought she had to start over and then Chat was going crazy letting her know it was a bug and skipped quite a chunk of content.

He’s not criticizing the medium, though. Or even anime-at-large; what both people who have read the book and people who only know the meme as context seem to miss is that Miyazaki is criticizing otaku culture and how it’s basically turned anime into everything he despises—something commercial, made for and sometimes…

Oh, for sure. I don’t disagree with Miyazaki’s criticisms of otaku culture at all. Modern anime seems to be shot through with a particularly needy strain of male ego flattery, for instance. The fragility it panders to is mildly embarrassing (when it isn’t being overtly non-con creepy).

You just always have to keep in mind Abraham Lincoln’s famous words:

What are you going to do, stop the Internet?

I freely admit that the first panel could be better, but I’m not feeling particularly creative today.

Knowing how classy the Internet is they’re sure to listen to him.

“No it isn’t, it’s actually awesome to have words put in your mouth.”
