i know it’s hard to imagine, but they make Gawker look a LOT more professional, well written and worthwhile in general. So if any Gawker staff feel bad about where they work, it could always be worse, even in the same industry.

I can tell you that the way it works is even if you had lost the weight and acquired nice clothes, you would’ve been perceived as a try hard (whether or not you actually were guilty of this)

why is it that, as an Indian person, I feel we are at the very bottom of the social acceptance totem, generally speaking?

I never realized people hated Scrappy Doo so much until college. From what I remember watching, the episodes made before Scrappy was included (the ones that had that recognizable theme song) were more classic, I suppose, back when the concept was new and it wasn’t yet a money machine but an actual hit. I was a kid…

The older strips may have had more artistic merit, but the newer strips did what they did really well. All that about the Red Baron and the Halloween Pumpkin. It was cool.

Man I don’t know about anyone else but the first cartoons I ever watched, and one of my earliest memories, was Charlie Brown- Race For Your Life! and Bon Voyage Charlie Brown.

no, i just felt sorry for you. doesn’t make me actually care about your existence though.

no one cares that you don’t care

They’re absolute shit. My friend used to work there and said they fired experienced freelancers so they could endlessly recycle the shittiest interns that couldn’t get an unpaid gig at a real publication and routinely use shitty iphone photos and bad grammar for the little original content that they produce (they…

i’m pretty sure he hadn’t decided yet decided that Leia was Luke’s sister at that point. I think Carrie Fisher just stopped doing the accent once she started shooting with Hamill and Ford instead of Cushing and David Prowse. I think there are lots of indications that he was making it up as he went along.

Eh, I mean a prudish British guy in a mid 20th century style military/police uniform always looks sinister.

This is pretty much the consensus, even among people that didn’t love it because of the voice acting and flaws that resulted from technological limitation and lack of conceptual precedence at the time, but that 6.8 from Gamespot amplified the bro voices that claimed it was not only not great, but an outright bad game…

i just think a lot of people are capable of enjoying bad movies more than bad games. with games, the technical issues matter as much as taste, and unlike taste, those factors aren’t subjective.

i don’t think reviews impact films nearly as much. usually if people like a trailer, or they’re fans of the franchise or cast, they’ll watch the movie.

I remember that Edge magazine once did an issue without scores published on the same page as the reviews, instead just presenting the review text and images. There was a page in the back that quietly listed the scores. They said it was an experiment they were taking and statement about how review scores suck not only…

Am I the only one that doesn’t like The Witcher?

I’ve never played any of the Suikoden games, and i don’t usually play JRPG’s (or western RPG’s that aren’t The Elder Scrolls) but I’m going to play the first 2 games after reading this article.

this is pretty much the exact same thing Ayn Rand said about racism. i wonder if people like this feel like they’re super enlightened. because i don’t feel enlightened to be in support of civil and human rights, i think it’s pretty fucking self explanatory.

LOL this is pretty much the exact thing Ayn Rand said about racism.

well the average person on tinder, i mean that’s setting a really low bar. that’s like saying most people on facebook suck. but it does seem like some of the people on tinder are cool.
