No Skipper Dan, no Frank’s 2000 Inch TV, no Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota? Humbug.

My perennial Albuquerque story is that I had Running with Scissors on an audio cassette that had been taped for me by a friend, and the recording cut off exactly as Weird Al says “Guy told me he hadn’t had a bite in three days.…

I think I’ve operated on the understanding that Whose Line was cancelled five years ago for the last ten years. Every time I’ve seen these ‘newer’ clips I’ve just assumed they were from reunion specials.

As they will continue to grumble about this, I will continue to point out that slideshows are a shit format and your bosses should feel like shit for making you do them.

Yahoo! Screen killed Yahoo! Screen.

I have been playing KSP for that long too.

I have never once been good at it.

Not a complaint, mind, just a statement of fact. I love KSP. I have never once been any good at it at all. This makes me sad.

Yeah but 15 years or more on Star Oceans ‘Til The End of Time is still one of the worst games I’ve ever played so obviously my brief experience with it invalidates the entirety of the franchise Q.E.D.

Xenosaga is better than Star Ocean so clearly your other opinions are equally suspect. (Source: played some Xenosaga 1 and Star Ocean ‘Til The End Of Time probably 15 yers ago, analysis is therefore infallible.)

I have always been grateful that my desperately poor lefty parents raised me in the 90s without Disney merch, having nothing but a couple of Disney films on VHS. From my earliest childhood there was always engrained in me a distrust towards Disney and what they offered. Partly this was economically defensive: they…

I mean given the current response to Liam Hemsworth if I were a studio I’d be digging up graves if I thought it’d keep a popular actor in a role.

I picked up Assassin’s Creed Odyssey a little while back and at first I was stunned by the size of the game world, and then bummed-out when I realized how most of it is functionally empty space. In runs into the same problem MEA had, namely that what little there is to find out in the world is loot the game has no…

I think the ‘physical’ copy of Cyberpunk 2077 didn’t even ship with a disc.

I thought the first one is fine: if you choose not to go poke at it the story largely leaves you alone. But Below Zero put two separate characters in your head to interrupt your underwater day with unasked-for commentary.

I just want a sequel that merges the mechanics and optimisation of Subnautica: Below Zero merged with the unobtrusive, intelligent storytelling of Subnautica.

Every time I try to go back to Below Zero I remain shocked how they took one of the tensest, nail-biting survival games and managed to completely murder all…

I mean not to be blunt, but as many other folks have pointed-out in one degree or another: Keanu Reeves is still alive because unlike everyone you hung out with, Matthew, he didn’t stuff his veins with speedball.

“Why does Keanu still walk amo-” ‘cause he didn’t think injecting cocaine and heroin was a good idea, Matt!…

Did this embed properly?

no it did not.

That’s a really stupid statement.

Yes, it is extremely strange that you’ve never heard of them given their two decades of content creation that has had major ‘nerd cred’ since the early days of aughts-internet. Not having heard of Red vs Blue, RWBY, or Achievement Hunter - even just in passing - is very surprising.

Not something worthy of criticism or…

Posted a joke referencing the Simpsons gag about lesbian bars, but then I remembered there’ve been some pretty awful gay bar fires in he last few years so I want to rescind it with this disclaimer instead.
