Here I was waiting for a new season of I Am Not Okay with This, not realizing it had been canceled months earlier. I rarely get into new shows, but I was really enjoying that one, and it ended on a fucking cliffhanger. I don’t want to read the comic, I wanted the damn show.

Yes, I couldn’t support this more. Donkeylips from Salute You Shorts. Artie, The Strongest Man in the World from Pete and Pete, Mo from GUTS, Omar Gooding from Wild and Crazy Kids, the list goes on and on. Give me my nostalgia bomb. I can afford to buy my own games now!

It’s wild that they managed to find a copy of the Pikachu H.R. Giger drew before he died, but I’m glad they did. It really speaks to my inner Pokemon trainer.

Parasocial relationships have been a cornerstone of celebrity for ages, that goes without saying. I’m calling them all sick, without qualification. They have always been sick. What made it easier for people to overlook it was when the parasocial relationship was side effect — people needed to be famous before an…

The good guy in this story looks like he’s shocked that his mom is using the silver dinnerware to land the plane carrying his mashed peas.

No Donkeylips, no deal. 

I like to imagine a world in which an industry bigger than movies could ever be treated like something that exists outside of the smallest niche of specialist interests. Perhaps one day, but that world is not yet ours.

Fus Ro Dumb.

You’ve made some important points, but this bit stands out to me:

I’ll be honest, here. I find it hard to be too critical of people who place such an emphasis on gaming prowess when many of us have been sold that mindset our entire lives. We’re the special warriors no one understands.

Great, now find the warehouse where they put all the DualShock 4s, please. 

Nah, nothing like that. It’s July 2007, and there’s still fuck all to play on the PS3 besides Resistance. Warhawk is a month away, and that’s gonna be the next big thing. Killzone 2 is a ways off, but man, it’s gonna be worth the wait.

And this is why all those sponsored posts on the Mach-E were as gross as they seemed. Whether or not the flowery nonsense in this post was written with that advertising deal in mind, it looks like it was, and that sucks. 

It’s okay. Sony still has the highly-rated Resistance: Fall of Man to fall back on, and Warhawk is only right around the corner. Deathloop will be a distant memory once Killzone 2 hits.

Call me pedantic, but her collection is just so much more aesthetically pleasing than most, and I respect that to pieces because my biggest issue with collectors is that so many seem to use the cheapest, ugliest shelving for their collections.

On my second DS4, I had the issue where the left joystick would register left movement anytime I used L2. I forget what that issue was. My first also had the issue with R2, which is probably what happened with yours. In an utterly baffling design choice, the part of the trigger that actually depresses the contact…

I had another one of my DualShock 4s start acting up a month or so ago, and the only ones I could find for sale were some expensive camo nonsense. I almost bought a third-party controller, but thought better of it.

Yeah, but $55k/year would allow you to live like a king in Bridgeport, CT! You could count on Metro North to get you into the city reliably from there, right? Right?

C’mon, Spanfeller’s real estate company would love to rent you a North Jersey apartment for a reasonable price. From there, you can always count on Metro North to keep the trains running on time, right? Right?

Yeah, I just don’t feel as though the job requirements resonate with me. I prefer an environment that allows for my creative output to synergize with that of team members for whom brand identity is paramount, allowing us all to more easily reach users of the website, as well as content creators and influencers who…
