Haven’t you heard? Halloween is getting evicted from October. You’re supposed to buy your candy before September 30th so that stores can make room to sell Christmas trees on October 1.

Troll 2. Corn.

I didn’t even care for the movie that much, but I had a similar reaction to the notion of a reboot. It’s not like the original left any particular stone unturned. The “mundanity” of it (for lack of a better word) means that introducing some clever twist to revitalize the franchise would defeat the entire point. If…

I honestly wasn’t expecting the answer to the headline’s question to be “hepatitis.”

Colossal is great. I wish Nacho Vigalondo would get more work. He has a knack for taking what seems like a fun, quirky concept, then twisting it until you lose all faith in humanity.

Look, I just want someone to make Air Force Two where Harrison Ford is serving his second non-consecutive term and The Rock is his VP.

It almost feels like this is Jackman revenge-cheating on Stewart for breaking their “pact” that Logan be their last time in the roles. “Well, fine! But now I’m going to start taking Ryan’s calls, and I’m not going to let him kill me off like a chump!”

Put a sign on the door of every GameStop: “Child Care Services: $50/hr per child + applicable fees.” Have some waivers and release forms ready to sign on a nice, weighty clipboard. I bet that would put a stop to it.

This is why I love Canada, but don’t trust Canadians in the US. To paraphrase an idiot talking about a different border, “They aren’t sending their best people.”

Employee IDing me at self-checkout: “Funny, I’m a minor making sure you’re old enough to buy alcohol!”

Yeah, but with the PSVR you run HDMI from the breakout box to the TV. So when I was playing non-VR games or streaming something, it was throttling everything down to 1080 for the TV.

Sure; it seems inevitable. I’m just afraid they’ll gouge me for the full price again. I wouldn’t even mind “spend $10-20 for the PSVR2 haptic upgrades, and keep all the track packs you previously bought.” I just wouldn’t bet on that.

Yeah, that’s my fear. I’ve only bought maybe a third of the track packs, but still.

And I went back to playing my PSVR on my PS4 instead of my PS5 because the breakout box was downscaling the PS5's resolution to 1080. I get that they want to curate the experience so that people’s first experience in the new hardware isn’t disappointing, but hell. They did fairly decent at identifying which games or…

This is exactly the social experiment I needed someone to conduct and write about ever since I heard of these ridiculous applause lengths. I applaud you. Just not for 13 minutes.

Oddly enough, scrutinizing the length and quality of meaninglessly gratuitous applause sounds very much like something Jack Gladney would obsess over until his doctor prescribed him a drug specifically for ALA (Applause Length Anxiety).

I’m still holding out hope for a special edition Crystal Head vodka celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the release of Coneheads, with an obvious design tweak to the bottle.

I didn’t mind Syndicate, but I get the criticism of it. My dark horse favorite was Rogue, which got zero promotion, hype, or love releasing in the shadow of Unity. I’ll never understand why they didn’t delay Unity a year to fix the bugs and just release Rogue.

I’ll never understand the love for Origins, and I’ll never forgive Ubisoft for killing PvP multiplayer. Stab-you’re-it hide-and-seek multiplayer was the only online MP I ever really enjoyed. AC: Origins is AC for people who hate AC.
