So in the 90's there was a bit of a creator driven coup in the animation industry. Lots of veterans who worshiped at the feet of the old school were frustrated with extremely stifling house styles designed to sell toys and nothing else.

Act of God is a legal term that basically means natural disaster.

Fuck.

The Joker doesn’t want to watch the world burn, he doesn’t believe that the status quo he’s destroying even exists.. He wants Batman to admit to being wrong about protecting what Joker perceives to be a lie. Joker is a character who has nothing. No friends. No family. No value system. Nothing. There was a point in

In terms of major changes to a character before a movie push, wasn’t the whole reason Tony Stark goes public in Iron Man 1 because of that happening just a few years earlier in Civil War 1? (Although revealing his identity had admittedly been teased in the comics since the Stan Lee days when half the plots revolved

It’s also the frustration that comes from this being a state-wide disaster but the coverage rarely reflects the scale of it. Yes, BR got hit hard and it’s a name that people outside of Louisiana know, but like 90% of Denham Springs is underwater. Houses flooded in Crowley, in Lafayette, in Walker, in Youngsville and

Which Goku countered by also learning the freeze time technique mid-battle. I was kinda dumbstruck watching it as that is literally the hook of the climactic battle in Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders.

The reason its worth more to criticize Berserk’s grosser tendancies is because its not a shit tier exploitation fest. It’s routinely praised as one of the greatest manga of all time. So when the panels are framed so the reader may ogle a side character’s body as she’s being raped, its fair to call bullshit on some of

It wouldn’t be that fun. You’d be separated from the GM and the other players by a mountain of distractions. There’s barely room for dice rolling, much less notes and drinks. To be honest if there’s literally no one near you who runs a local game, you’d get more out of joining a newbie friendly session over skype and

Meanwhile I’ve had boss encounters occur within impossible geometries like the inside of spheres with inverted gravity. Swashbuckling setpieces, dangling from ropes grappled to cave ceilings and falling 30 ft into the water below with combat happening the whole time. Cities built of 3 and 4 story docks, sinking into

I used to play DF completely vanilla but the Lazy Newb pack has gotten so good that I honestly can’t go back. There’s just so many little quality of life improvements through DFHack like a built in Dwarf Therapist style labor manager and with the Spacefox tileset and TWBT turned on, its actually becoming a

Shocking as this may be, but consumer marketing is not a reflection of reality.

That’s the biggest load of shit. There are tons of men following fashion trends even if they’re not consciously thinking about designer brands or reading fashion mags. Beards, undercuts, button-down shirts, slim fit pants. These trends spread organically by seeing people out and about or in media. You’re constantly

The drop down menu section is temporary. They’re building a whole new site for the game stuff. Like how Kotaku is in the Gawker family of sites. Austin actually talked a bit about it on Merritt Kopas’ podcast, recently.

That is potentially the start of a crack dream team of writers and totally in line with Austin’s plan to do some heavier investigative stuff.

Interesting how both Marvel and DC both decided to debut their most dated seeming, red-white-and-blue characters in period piece war movies.

I’ve seen a bunch of Game Tapes and Demo Derby videos from Giant Bomb that make it blisteringly clear that the 90's were going strong until at least 2003.

The war’s over solider. Time to go home. Most of us have been saying “legos” since we were kids in the 80's. It sounds better, it feels better, and we’re not beholden to corporate decrees on our language rules.

Y’know Square Enix, 60 dollars from a rich asshole is still just 60 dollars. There are way more people out there who’d love to give you that same amount of money for a new game.
