It depends on what you consider “good graphics”.

The reason some story threads feel incomplete is that they actually lined up the elements too well, and then the whole storyline vanished.

strange world wasn’t pixar

I believe Mirrorsoft (run by Robert Maxwell, who owned the Mirror) were looking to buy the game before Maxwell went on his little boat trip...

WHY DO THE HUMANS SPEND SO MUCH TIME TOGETHER WALKING OUT-OF-DOORS WHEN AN AUTOMOBILE IS A FAR MORE EFFICIENT FORM OF CONVEYANCE? AND WHY HAS THE WORK ASSOCIATE OF THE ONE HUMAN BECOME THE FRIENDLY COMPANION OF THE OTHER HUMAN? AND WHY HAVE A GROUP OF HUMANS GATEHRED TOGETHER AT THE HOME PLACE OF ONE OF THE HUMANS FOR

Not being smug (honest!), but the moment Jimmy affirmed Grace’s determination to push Donny off the (metaphorical) cliff I knew there was only one way the season was going to end.

I’ve never seen someone so dedicated to calling out common sitcom tropes in the exact system in which they’re explicitly supposed to exist.

“Why are these things happening in the thing they’re supposed to happen in? It’s very upsetting!”

It’s been a real joy for us, too. It wasn’t immediately apparent in the pilot how funny it was going to be, but by midseason it hit its stride. It embraces a lot of different styles of humor, and I think that means it works for a lot of different kinds of people. 

Musk continues to prove that he’s completely incompetent.

The thing is, this show made me laugh more than I’ve laughed in a long time. For that alone, its first season gets an A.

These reviews have been a real education in how there exists at least one person in the world to whom human interaction outside family and work is a completely foreign concept, and it’s been a fascinating dive inside that alien mind.

It’s hard to tell, but I think Tommy is generally that disconnected from reality so much that he thinks that the bad movies he makes that people love are good.

I love the contrasting line reading of “You look so much like your mother” from the first episode to this one.

maybe a top 5 episode of all time.

The original, for all it’s charms, didn’t have Pam Grier, or Joss Ackland, or “Dude - we’re in Heaven and we just mugged three people”, or Jim Martin of Faith No More.

Absolutely. I laughed harder at Bogus Journey than I did at the original - games with Death and the Evil Robot Us-es kill me every time.

Better than the first.

I stopped reading at that point.

I prefer it to both of the other two. It has some lovely wee moments (but especially anytime Death is on screen).

Bogus Journey deserves better than this.  It’s a solid sequel.
