I’m gonna call you on the Warhol hate. I get that he’s not for everyone but I challenge you to name a modern artist that’s influenced the look and feel of popular culture more than he did.

I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve said this, but Cyrus released an album post-Disney. She gave interviews hinting at being progressive and pro-weed. No one cared. No one listened to that album. It was only after she began to act out on social media and cut her hair that people began to take notice. And Bangerz,…

I meant specifically the dub quality, but yea, I’m more than comfortable saying that they both hold up way better than Wing has.

Well, no. Gon from GON. But yes, the character was put into Tekken and that’s where most people in the west probably saw him first.

I give my friend endless shit for his defense of Wing. The only reason it’s fondly remembered is because it’s most people’s first introduction to Gundam. It splits the difference between serious war drama and ridiculous superheroes and lands squarely on boring. Doesn’t help that it had one of the the worst dubs on tv,…

Markiplier puts on a fun show, but my favorite reaction so far has gotta be:

I resent the fact that opening a foolish retail venture isn’t a thing more people could afford. A bunch of weird little shop is way better than everybody developing a fucking app.

I like a good Brie or Blue but fuck if Cheese Whiz isn’t a modern miracle. Eating it feels like spitting in God’s face. You’re tasting a creation of a human race that has conquered fucking space travel and you think, “This came out of a spray can! Anything is possible!”

I can see a case for somewhat healthier convenience if you were only going to fill yourself with junk food anyway to get through the workday. I eat pretty terribly on a long night shift office job with only a microwave at my disposal and very limited time to sleep and cook at home. (When I’m off, I like to think I’m a…

Look, I love Brian K. Vaughan too and I don’t know how nominations are determined, but Meredith Gran’s Octopus Pie has been the best webcomic in the game for YEARS now and I won’t hear a single argument otherwise.

Remember when user-generated content was gonna be the future?

I feel like I should preface this link with an apology, but I’m not sure where to start.

I think the last AAA game I pirated was Skyrim back in 2011, and then uninstalled not long after since it was just unplayable on my busted old laptop. Not an excuse, it was just a weird time in my life when spending what little money I did earn on weed took a priority over video games. It wasn’t long after that I…

Palpatine is not in STAR WARS, the 1977 movie.

“I’m just offering some honest criticism.”

From what I’ve heard from first hand experiences with VR, it’s less about graphical fidelity and more about the brain being tricked into believing it’s inside a space the body is not actually in. Particularly with the Oculus’ motion controllers, the sense of immersion while inside is deep even with fairly abstracted…

Yea, this last issue was Game of Thrones rough.

Pinker’s argument certainly poked holes in the Freakonomics hypothesis but also admits there were multiple factor contributing the crime rate drop and that the issue is more complicated than any one explanation. That said, we are talking about a cognitive scientist providing a response to an economist/journalist team…

Hunter x Hunter takes about a 3rd of its run to become something more than an average solve-the-puzzle fighting shonen show, but by the end it earns its place among the all time greats.

Jojo is certainly iconic in own way, but the famous oraora’s are just one of the many Fist of the North Star tropes that Araki adopted.
