Wish someone would show this to the people writing the new Marvel comics.

He says it's unfair that women get shit on for little things, while men get away with crimes. Then he immediately starts shitting on a woman, and says how he didn't listen to a female friend who told him he was wrong.

I liked Aladdin. Hercules was well written, but yeesh the animation was nigh unwatchable.

The P.T. teaser in Metal Gear Solid 5 spooked the hell out of me. I was playing the game to relax after work, alone in the house late at night. Really got to me.

I liked this one better than last week's. It's hard not to feel like this is one episode stretched out to the length of a season, though. At first I thought the season-long-arc thing that's so popular would fit Venture perfectly, but now I'm starting to miss the episodic episodes of yore. Grass is always greener, I

When is Splash Mountain going to get a movie?

A few years ago, I played Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep. Very fun game, the best in the series…. with one incredibly huge caveat. It's one of those games where in order to complete the story you have to play minigames. Some of those minigames, like a small version of Itadaki Street, are pretty fun. But one of

I just got back into Pokemon a few weeks ago. I played Red and Silver as a kid, played SoulSilver in college, and hadn't been with the series since then. A friend convinced me to play Pokemon X by insisting I could start the game with an all-Eeveelution team, something I've wanted to do since Red.

Jesus, what an asshole. "I got laid every day this week. Is there a word for how awesome I am?" Why does Dan publish these douches who just write in to brag? This isn't the first time it's happened.

This actually looks pretty good. I'd actually likely be more excited about it if I didn't know it were connected to Cloverfield in some way.

I was just confused. "Wait… I thought that guy died. Is he not dead? What happened?"

I'm pretty sure Link's Awakening was my first time really feeling emotion in a video game. The moment with Link and Marin on the beach was so sweet and sad to me at the time.

When I played these games as a kid, I was the exact opposite. I was constantly imagining in my head what was going on off-screen, I'd especially love to imagine the villains back at their evil lair cursing my name as I defeated their minions one by one. Any blank space in the narrative my imagination would fill.

I remember just being confused that Link's uncle wasn't dead. I didn't get that Link wished him back to life.

Yeah, I see what you mean, and I totally agree. Venture Brothers is ridiculous, but to those characters it's still real. Rusty doesn't just have to live in a world where frogmen and robots exist, he has to live in a world where growing up with those things gives you post-traumatic stress.

Hm, I'm not sure that's them setting him up to die as it is them showing the inevitable passage of time. They joked a few years ago at DragonCon about doing an episode about a floater in Dr. Venture's eye.

I wouldn't even know about Tom of Finland or Henry Darger if it weren't for wondering what the show was referencing and looking it up.

I really doubt she gets paid all that much. VAs get no respect, no respect at all. I don't even think they're contracted, it's all freelance. There's a reason you hear her voice in everything still.

I dunno, would we love it this much if everyone else was watching? It's like we're a secret fraternity, a Guild if you will. One whose intentions are not always peaceable.

Yeah, while I have found emotional investment in the characters in Archer, I've never actually feared for their safety. The show just doesn't have the stakes that Venture does. I remember being chilled the first time we realized the Guild could become a serious threat in "Victor Echo November," it was so haunting
