It was boring and not funny and preachy and self-important. Let’s not call it “standup at its highest level”. That’s pure wankery. If you enjoyed the lecture, that’s fine, but this was a bomb of show full of cringe. Like if you collect all of Dave’s specials and you decide to throw on “The Closer” instead of his…

This kind of impunity for rich kids is not a feature of third world countries, but rather a core aspect of Americanism.

It’s a critical argument. You want those arguments strong and bold and provocative. Just read the back of the box if you’re so offended by a critic taking a stance on media you consider precious or from creators you consider to be genius uber-menschen who’s decisions are infallible and beyond reproach.

I am totally unimpressed with video game monster aesthetics. Same goes for “space armor” and “D&D outfits with buckles and shit”. I find the whole thing depressing and cliche and whenever a game comes along that just chucks that whole project out and goes for something new and different I’m delighted. Even then,…
