Just to try and temper the reactions, a friend of mine works in that industry (and at that company) and noted what typically dictates who gets top billing is the contract. If anyone needs to be dragged over this, it is her agent for missing such an important step that would lead to more attention.

Here’s what I don’t get, though: Billing placement is one of those things you or your agent negotiate with the studio ahead of time along with your pay and bennies. So either this was the best her agent could do regarding her relative Q rating versus her costars, and she just got a free upgrade thanks to Twitter or…

This reminds me of my absolute favorite story from the life of Jesus: Jesus and the Centurion. For those not familiar, Jesus, after giving his Sermon on the Mount, was approached by a Centurion or a delegation on his behalf (the account varies depending on which gospel you read), who pleaded with Jesus to heal a…

Is this a thing now? Telling people where they are allowed to go to church? Because if people want to start dragging others for going to anti-LGBTQ churches, then maybe start with the Catholics.

Or you could live in Canada where I don’t know when the last time they didn’t have a mobile pay machine with the chip technology and you fill out the tip on the machine.

I mean is it really our job to be outraged for the citizens of Japan when they seem to feel no outrage at this situation?

Uproar over cultural appropriation is BS 99% of the time. I think culture if too often conflated with ethnicity as well. It’s natural for culture to spread.

How is this anti-consumer? Both stores are free to download so the consumer isn't paying anything extra due to this exclusive deal. Third party exclusives for consoles is anti-consumer but I don't think this is.

That’s fair, I suppose. And yeah, KBeast vs. Marn was fun as hell.

TvC doesn’t get enough respect. It lives in the Street Fighter x Tekken rung of fighting games to me. If it wasn’t a Wii exclusive, I think it could have made a bigger splash, even if some people do blame the failure on Tatsunoko, because most westerners aren’t irredeemable weebs like me who recognize those characters.

…

Tatsunoko vs Capcom is on my list for one of the best fighting games I’ve ever played. I consider it a true sequel to the Marvel vs Capcom series in terms of mechanics and pure ridiculousness of the cast.

This way of thinking seems incorrect but I may be misunderstanding you.

Yeah I get mad when people say nice things to me, too.

I’m not going to try and get in The Rock’s head, so I’m not defending what he’s getting at here per se, but I — as someone that clearly identifies as a liberal and supports the progressive movement, who can’t stand the right as it exists today — believe he makes a very good point, in general about a segment, not all,…

None of us are looking for a real answer, but I’ll give one anyway (I’m not conservative). This is how I see it (based in part on something I read in Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari):

To be fair, asking “Why would anyone choose to be a conservative?” is a VERY good question. 

I’d be willing to wait for Rebuild 4 for this.

Shin Godzilla owns

I’ll offer an addendum that one should absolutely give Shin Godzilla a shot after watching Evangelion. There’s a lot of NGE in there in a way that I absolutely adore.

You seem pretty boring as it happens.
