When the developer has nothing better to say but describe in detail how a sword and shield work as if you have never played a video game before it is not a promising sign. 

Launch Title: The Launchest Title.

You have to love this. Not one person even bats an eye, just walks around them as if this happens every single day. I mean, I didn’t even see a person with a WTF look on their faces. 

Just looking at various pages/forums, the hype for THPS is through the fucking roof, whereas the hype for this game is practically non-existent.

I don’t know if I should laugh or cry at the idea of Tony Hawk possibly beating the Avengers.

Is it me or is Hulk with his belt undone just seem weird.   Like I get that “realistically” Bruce would need to undo his belt to stretch into the Hulk but it he just ends up looking like a drunk frat bro with a tummy ache, undoing his belt before he pukes.  Either that or he looks like he is getting ready for loving…

What IMDb at least does is use their current names and then in parentheses, how they’re credited on the movie - so The Matrix says Lana Wachowski (as The Wachowski Brothers); Lilly Wachowski (as The Wachowski Brothers). Dwayne Johnson’s been credited in so many different ways but yeah, I think on his filmography it…

Composer Wendy Carlos is credited as such in Tron or The Shining, but on A Clockwork Orange is credited as Walter Carlos. That’s the only previous example I know of.

I get so much use out of the verb dumbledoring

Yeah, with this case there’s enough evidence that it makes sense and doesn’t bother me. With Dumbledore, the only evidence we really got in the original text basically amounted to, “Well we never see him kiss a woman...”

Seriously? If anything, they are misunderstanding Total Recall even more than The Matrix! The bad guys in Total Recall are explicitly the sort or corporate neo-fascists we are dealing with right now. I suppose next they will think that Robocop is about “Law and Order” Instead of the conflict between protecting the…

Total Recall’s director also made two of the greatest antifa satire films of the last part of the 20th century in Robocop and Starship Troopers. So there’s that too.

Agreed, on retroactive meta-revisionism (I like to call it “getting Dumbledore-ed”), but the difference here is that the hints are within the text itself (Switch, the name Switch, the plot of Neo becoming who he was meant to be, Smith constantly deadnaming Neo, etc etc), rather than after the fact (Dumbledore) or…

“My name is Neo”

It will never be not funny that one of the foundational tracts of redpillers is basically a work by 2 transwomen who were at least in part narrating their experience and journey.

MRA virgins:

I’m not typically a fan of creators going back after the fact to say how things were supposed to be (“Dumbledore was always gay! Wizards used to shit on the floor!”), but based on the Wachowskis body of work, this seems really legit, and a fascinating bit I'd have loved to see.

Honestly Switch for me at the time would have been awesome just on the scifi level. It would of really opened it up.
Neo: “What about Switch? I thought it’s a projection of who we are”
Morph: “Yes. But I said it was residual Self-image. That’s how Switch sees herself”
Neo: [Looks at Switch. Cocks head questioning]
Switch:…

Yeah, this has been a known thing for a while. Hell, just look at the strife over Neo’s name. Agent Smith always calls him one very specific thing, “Mr. Anderson”, to the point where Neo’s first name is almost entirely eschewed, and Neo’s moment of victory in their fight came with him proudly, defiantly saying “My…
