I just rewatched the email curse episode and realized Nandor said he had Clem’s email ....

would have been much more interesting to see beatles songs messed up with dance remixes and rap-cameos and music industry meddling, but the BIG fantasy for beatles fans was that these songs would have immediate, total success in 2019, validating their stance that they’re ‘the best band ever’

Ive noticed a lot of people already mention Bioshock Infinite and Telltales Walking Dead season 1 so I won’t repeat that. I’m shocked nobody has mentioned Assassins Creed 4 Black Flag. Best ending in the whole series by far, also probably the best story and protagonist, sorry if that’s a hot take.

The thing with Skyrim is you can beat it fairly quickly and not be any of the things you say.    That is both the pro and con of the Elder Scroll style game.   They are all about the journey and not the end

Just wait until you play the DLC for Odyssey. You end up roped into a relationship with a person of the opposite sex regardless who also has the magic Assassin DNA in order to have a kid.

any list of game endings that doesn’t list Portal and Portal 2 is ignorant and stupid.

Nadja always has the perfect line to puncture inflated masculinity, even when she believes she’s supporting it. It’s a glorious performance.

“That’s right, scare him with your circles!” 

Between this and Rick and Morty, it’s been a fine week for toothpicks as an affectation of coolness.

The musical stylings of Mr. Matthew Berry? Obligatory:

I’m here for anything that encourages people to watch Coherence.

I see you’re a little offended by KevyB’s parsing of the meaning of misogyny and I think it might clarify things if we look at the etymology of the word. Now, Merriam-Webster traces the word back to the Greek roots misein and gyne, although I think there is considerable evidence, albeit circumstantial, that the…

29 years later and I still annoy the shit out of my mostly-non-KitH-watching coworkers by telling “My PEN!” whenever I misplace my pen.

this episode, like the ones that came before

The use of Jesus in the scene where Rick and Morty are about to be annihilated by all their enemies was also a literal deus ex machina which is probably one of the oldest and hoariest plot devices in existence. That’s why the Bible is called out as “every writer’s Hell” since it and other tropes within it have been…

I loved the treasure hunt (and really, theme park element--like those slides) which felt like so much of the movie to me when I first saw it repeatedly at 6 and 7.  But it really didn’t age well with me even by the 90s (I think the only part I had really remembered otherwise as a kid, was the kid being threatened with…

I watched until the infamous Anna Bates rape plot, at which point I was like, “Fuck you, you don’t get to have your cosy, luvvy English period piece where the aristocracy and the servants all get along, and a gritty drama where ugly things like sexual assault are just tossed in.” Like, I’d always been uncomfortable…

Preeeeeetyyyy niiiice

Coming out of this movie I always end up thinking, “Being a teenage misanthrope is fine, but eventually you have to do something.”
