Games do not have to be political to be art or not be “baby toys”. Full stop. This kind of view on the possibilities and potential of art is needlessly shallow and a false dichotomy. People with limited imaginations and axes to grind who want to dictate what art can and can’t be is why games and game players have had…

Puwexil is one of the best speedrunners out there. In addition to being very good at running the games, he’s a great streamer. His stream isn’t overly busy visually, he has a soothing voice (very important for someone you may end up watching for hours at a time in the background) and he manages to strike an…

Tumblr is garbage for the same reason social media in general is garbage: not everyone should have a voice. Period. End of discussion.

I haven’t seen Isle of Dogs yet but I was under the impression Wes Anderson subsists entirely on a diet of whimsy, twee and semi-ironic hairdos which he then regurgitates on movie screens every couple of years. Was Isle of Dogs somehow different?

Hopefully this is just a temporary setback but there’s a reason people don’t do the dual threat thing in baseball and this is it. It’s too much stress on the body to play 162 games AND pitch 30 times a year.

Not to rain on your parade but the political bent of Catholicism is largely regional and can even be different based on individual parishes/pastors. In addition to growing up Catholic, I grew up in a military family that moved around a lot in the 80s and 90s and everywhere we went, we’d run in to churches with…

I concur. While the first movie is clearly the best and most complete film, the second one actually works as a continuation of the first movie’s story and tone that expands upon the mythology in interesting ways. It’s far from perfect (“remember who you are” BS) but I still dig it.

Men as a group can certainly do better (as role models, fathers, sons, husbands, boyfriends, friends, etc.) and there is absolutely a place for a woman’s perspective on how those improvements can be made, particularly one with Ms. Perel’s credentials.

Outside of the initial visceral reaction to an Alien movie being less than terrific, I don’t think many people genuinely HATE Alien Cubed. It was just disappointing and a total bummer of a movie.

MvCI has the exact same issues (heavily recycled roster, bare bones presentation) and was already on life support when Evo made the announcement.

The two Schumacher Batman movies were a twisted telepod merger of the Adam West 1960s Batman and Burton’s minimalist gothic Batman. Ended about as well as a telepod experiment generally does as well.

Thankfully, in 2018, a simple patch to nerf the chip damage on that move makes all of this moot.

Anyone who’s played a lot of Third Strike knows that Chun is the real villain of that game.

Shhh... we’re not supposed to know they get 3/4 of their content from trawling Reddit.

According to the director, they do not because it turns out that story isn’t true.

The worst part of Fortnite’s popularity are endless hot takes about things that are wrong with Fortnite and its community.

I sincerely doubt there’s any collusion since pretty much every other player who’s taken a knee has found other jobs. Kaep’s problem is that he isn’t good enough for the cowards that haunt NFL front offices to be willing to take the “risk” of having him on their team. Whoever does will immediately be put in the…

Steam and controllers becoming more ubiquitous has done away with a lot of the tinkering but when I encountered some bugginess with installing SpyParty this week, it brought back all of the warm memories of tinkering with AUTOEXEC.BAT, installing drivers and adding memory managers in the 90s.

“As I usually glibly sum it up, God is incredibly important to me but I don’t really care if any of it’s real.”
