So I’ve had access to a PS4 for many years (briefly borrowed it from a friend, ended up in a Pandemic with no way to give it back), but I have only recently spend the money to have a monitor I coulda actually attach it to, and so I’ve started playing games again - games that I was never able to play with a big,…

Because everyone still shows up to buy Pokémon no matter how big a fucking mess it is.

So no one wants to hold them accountable.

“there’s no denying the thrill [of seeing] an epic battle between every character you grew up loving”

Yeah, there is. Because it’s grotesque. Watching the Iron Giant in a huge punch-’em up sucks shit, he deserves so much better. It’s The Uliamte Showdown of Ultimate Destiny without the early-aughts irony, catchy tune,…

A creepy, seemingly sentient turd makes a big mess for two hours and is inexplicably described as lovable.

You have missed nothing.

I first sw that movie about four years ago and fucking despised it. Watching three shitty 70s misogynists jerk themselves off on a boat is a tedious way to spend any amount of time.

Genuinely baffled you see something likeable in that movie. Maybe it’s a ‘had to see it as a kid’ sort of thing, because as an adult over…

  Fuck every single game dev personally for putting this behind next-gen upgrades, you pieces of fucking shit.

Oh, no doubt he was a creep too - male actors of that period seem to mostly have been, and the casual way he still thinks its a lark speaks a lot to that - but it doesn’t come across (to me) in the movie the way Connery’s grossness always seems front and centred in his performance. Or contra that: Roger Moore’s Bond’s …

Fuck, I totally forgot about that scene, but now it’s vivid in my mind because of how tonally weird it felt in the context of the movie, like one of the Brocollis showed up one day with a new scene just to hit some quota for women hate.

I still stand by him being the least-creepy Bond of the pre-modern period, though.…

Cicero deserved better than this.

Yeah I wasn’t joking.On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is the only Bond movie that isn’t weighed down by unbearable levels of douchebaggery on Bond’s part. Connery’s Bond is an open misogynist, Brosnan and Moore are all smarm, and Dalton’s Bond is utterly charmless and frequently feels like he wandered-in off the set of…

I men that feels a lot like a ‘down with capitalism’ sort of thing. Not to get all Marxist, but you’re describing a scenario wherein a media franchise has become entirely about exchange value and whose use value can be literally zero and yet it still functions as a commodity.

Which is fucked up.

That's good. He is in the best Bond movie until the Craig years.

It was over $900 CAD last I checked.

I mean not to blunt but practically all nerd shit is a bubble. This isn’t housing or grain or steel: it’s little bits of coloured paper with drawing and text on them. Its as true with anime figure as with Pokémon cards: spectualive bubbles based on totally artificial rarity, exchange value at its most naked. As…

I always keeps a few extra David Spades on hand for emergencies.

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.
