Miss Thing, Ant-Man(Scott), Medusa, She-Hulk

I think the Gamer(s) of the Year this year should go to the writers and staff of Kotaku and Stephen Totilio i specifically. There have been so many amazing pieces this year. Dives into DnD, exposing toxic workplaces, retrospectives on why launches went wrong, and so many other pieces that I can’t recall while trying…

So... that’s a shitty thing to do.

They were at the HQ of the Inquisitors, he is the commander in chief of that group over the GI. The bigger plot hole is that they did not discuss the chance that he might be there to wreck the plan, not that he just happens to show up at one of his major bases/training camps at the time of the attack.

Not that I’m inclined to defend Hollywood execs, but speaking as someone who actually subscribed to the 1980s Dazzler run -- which feels like something I need to talk to a therapist about at some point -- they really need the exact right approach to the character to make her work, even in a tongue-in-cheek show.

The exclusion of My Brother, My Brother and Me seems very odd to me, not only because it lead to the McElroy family building a podcast empire, but doing it from a place of relative obscurity. Serial is huge, but that was hardly the first first NPR has produced a important piece of investigative journalist. Marc Moran…

The thing about the ubiquity of alcohol in university/college settings is that it is largely ubiquitous because everyone expects it to be ubiquitous; it’s just another permutation of the aphorism about tradition “it’s that thing we do because it’s the thing we’ve always done.”

I didn’t drink -at all- during my first…

The McElroy Brothers Will (Not) Be In This AVclub List.

That aside, I think I tend to listen to very different kinds of podcasts than most people - all the true crime stuff blends together, and I’d probably rather eat glass than listen to a politically-focused podcast. I really enjoyed Reply All and Heavyweight in the…

I’ll bite.. as a heavy travaller, while I can’t (and won’t speak for EVERYONE on the plane, I can give some reasonable answers to this):

They better had fucking paid him before this because yeah, this is bad press if not.

LITERALLY in the preview.

He’s not on the Marauders team.

I really miss the “Best Anime of This Season” articles that Kotaku used to do. They used to lead me to a lot of great gems. These articles are borderline useless, to me at least; it’s just a huge diarrheal dump of everything coming out with no way of knowing if any of it is worth watching.

I must increase my bust!

Friends, I don’t know how to make clearer in an article marked impressions that this is my early experience with the game and that it’s been a complicated experience. I’m eager to play more and see what might change, but at the moment this has not been a particularly enjoyable play experience for me even acknowledging …

Either Japan shows itself to be a reductive society that is still in the 1950s in terms of sexuality or the remake of this game actually try to hire new writers to change the story. And yeah, disappointed that Catherine Fullbody is what it is, when it supposedly tries to tell a story about young adult sexuality and…

I think the difference is “inadvertently”. The difference is Microsoft PR trying to fall back to their previous “No, this isn’t something we just do” we all saw on the home assistant issues before they’re forced to admit that using the same policies on Cortana produces the same results.

Maybe, and I know this might be hard to wrap you’re head around, but just maaaaybe it ISN’T about you.

I know it’s only tangentially related, but can we get a small discussion going on about the role videogames (esp military shooters) play in the current gun culture (which has seen a shift towards military style weapons)?
