According to this article there are at least two people playing Fallout 76, along with an implication of “high level players” who “hang.” Frankly that seems like a much bigger story.

I read that resumé line in Captain Murphy’s voice. It seemed very apropos.

“For instance, it’s pointed out how many of the scenes in Endgame work because the audience is bringing their knowledge all of the other MCU movies into it.”

Not to be ‘that guy’ but that’s not insight, that’s an explanation of the fundamental concept of episodic narrative, and if that stands out to you as a unique…

HAven’t watched since the first episode of Archer... 30s-style Gangster Land Something Something.

Worth... going back?

Now that you mention it I did hear rumour of such. I should indeed give them a look, thank you.

I’ll be honest - other than Kingdom Hearts I can’t name a single thing with Minnie Mouse in it made in the last thirty years, (and precious little with Mickey either - Donald and Goofy, sure, but do the mice actually have anything memorable to their names other than branding presence?) - the idea of her having any…

... showrunner Eric Kripke says that the series’ main aim is to show “superheroes as insecure, fucked-up, self-serving, and selfish as real humans really would be if given super powers.” How does that feel?

Well, it probably feels one hundred percent identical to the last thirty plus years of comic books that long ago…

As someone who resents being advertised too, games demanding I give them more money is an instant turn-off. (the worst is still, after the disgustingly awful finale of Mass Effect 3 you got a pop-up trying to get you hyped to buy upcoming DLC. It was so nakedly craven I’m still angry about it years later.)

I am often bummed that I can’t afford a console or a power gaming machine - but then i am reminded that that $60 price tag, which is closer to $80 where I live, is completely out of reach for me - I can’t justify spending that much on an entertainment product when I could spend that same amount of money on four or…

Nope. She’s going to be playing an ancestor of Ghân-buri-Ghân.

I watched ST for the first time a day before season 2 dropped. All I knew going in was that some female character “deserved better” and the internet was very upset. After several episodes I figured that they had been talking about Eleven, and remained posed to be horrified at her poor treatment by the narrative.

Which..…

I ordered cold ramen by mistake the other at my favourite ramen joint.

It was maybe the worst thing i’ve ever put in my mouth?

None of it was bad per-se - but on my second bite I realized “it’s not so much that I dislike the flavour, it’s just that the last time I felt physically nauseated by the very idea of putting…

“The trends are evident, more and more people are ditching wired headphones and headsets for wireless alternatives”

Jesus God Why?

I had a “fun” experience a month or so back trying to help my mother find a good pair of wireless headphones.

They do not exist.

Every one of them seemed to be optimized for bass and only bass,…

You misspelled “in America” there.

I mean all multi-national corporations are Anti-American. None of these billion corporations do anything good for America or its people, ever, merely their shareholders.

Not that that’s what the GOP meant, mind, but they’re not wrong in the accusation. Just in the evidence they chose to present.

Hey io9. you know what would have been great? A headline that read “Why Steven Universe Has A Neck Now”, so the handful of us left who still think it’s fun to be surprised by the contents of a movie, such as a little thing like a two year time jump, can cling to that last vestige of sanity a little while longer until…

I never heard of the new Reading Rainbow again after the initial Kickstarter press hype - did it deliver, then?

Given that we now use troll almost exclusively to mean “someone who does shitty things just to enjoy the reaction” no, the delightfully absurd idea of opening a non-sexual porn hub account doesn’t register as trollish behaviour.

No. He did not.
