Oh man, this is just like that “affluenza” asshole who killed four people while driving drunk at the tender, innocent age of 16. He got sentenced to ten whole years... of probation, then promptly got caught out drinking with a bunch of frat buddies playing beer pong. His mom then helped him flee the country to Mexico…

I was kinda bummed when I thought they had recast Tony Todd for the Candyman remake. It just did not seem possible that any kind of replacement would come remotely close to his presence in the films. But then I see this trailer and... that’s his voice! That’s his face! He’s still Candyman! I am no longer bummed out.

Yes! There was a charmander-ish clone in a cowboy hat with a gun that smoked! I think there were actually quite a few returns of the characters.

Well, I was thinking about politicians/preachers and their stance on homosexuality when I said this, so... this has turned out to be a hugely entertaining litmus test for people’s overreaction to things on the internet.

I’m glad you recommended them! I picked the first two up at our local game shop and dusted off the ole’ Gamecube/Gameboy Player combo for some action. My nieces and nephews were intrigued because it’s Harry Potter, but also put off by the “old” graphics. Their reaction to watching me play was just about as great as…

I always maintain that the most vocal someone is about being “anti” whatever, the more likely they are to be participating in that illicit act when they think no one’s looking. Turns out that’s true for... pirating manga? Huh.

I had to google what you said to make sure you weren’t just making stuff up. Which... I guess proves your point. Holyfuzzballs, there were HP JRPGs on the gameboy color?!

Buy a used copy and feel guilt free!

Oof, those are incredibly ugly. That’s... that’s all I have to say. I’m at a loss for words otherwise.

I love when characters get reimagined outfits in other styles. My boy Than looking fly as heck in his pic (even if he, tragically, has fallen prey to the cross-body satchel fashion plague). I like how the designs are entirely new outfits, but use elements of the original outfits to the point that they’re still…

I’m not sure about the rest of the country, but all the liquid products (milk, juice, tea, whatever) have litres on their labels here in Texas. This bottle of cranberry juice I have in the fridge right now is labeled “52 Fluid OZ (1.6 Quart) 1.53 Litres” and the gallon of milk I have says “1 Gal (3.78 Litres).” Seems…

Agreed, that got a good laugh out of me. The sight-gag was pretty well done.

Dang, 2021 starting off strong with an early contender for Game of the Year. I’m not sure this can be topped, but plenty of time to try.

I agree. I had a lot of puzzled reactions to the PS5 controller when I first handled it (it was surprisingly heavy and the rough texture was... weird), but I ended up liking everything about it... except that exact button. Why did they do that? It doesn’t look better, it doesn’t feel better...

A lot of times some players (usually the ones who are just doing roulettes for the tomes and want to rush through it RIGHT NOW OK) will get snippy at newbies that are under-geared. I like offering those newbies directions to the “brand new” gearsets if they’re that level or just straight up crafting their…

But you see, she’s really a 10,000 year old demon trapped in an underage girl’s body, so it’s totally okay.

Does the paint job interfere with any of the touch functions?

Agreed. Anyone watching the trailer should have been freaked the heck out. The sitcom is just dressing for the horror show this really is.

I watched the full video and the game is incredibly impressive, considering the time it was originally made in. Just check out how many enemies are on screen at once in some of the rooms. And every time the PC picks up a piece of armor or a weapon, their character model changes to reflect how that item looks. A lot of…

I’m not... quite sure if this is the same thing, but my mom used to make “burger patties” out of beef flavored ramen noodles she cooked, floured, then lightly fried. Ate them on toasted with a chili ranch sauce. It was weirdly good, or I at least remember it being that way, but as soon as I got out on my own I never…
