Hopefully people’s expectations haven’t gotten too overblown (what am I saying? This is the internet). This sounds from all accounts like another good game that will get buried under its own hype and tumultuous development by people who (perhaps rightfully?) expected a total gamechanger.

I told them that “Throbbing Gristle Thursdays” would sink them, but did they listen? Noooo!

Looks like he had the right idea with the Chaney hooks, that screencap is successfully unnerving in that Phantom-y way. 

Yeah, I did the same. I get that writers are trying to get their wording just right and drop “Ellen” immediately, but (please correct me if I’m wrong, I’m not LGBTQ+ myself) I think using it to contextualize the headline would be okay.

Still on the hunt for retrofuturist predictions of modern meme culture (outside of VeggieTales’ “randomly generated comedy” prediction, which was dead on).

On the one hand, this sounds destined to fail. On the other, and I say this as a fan, there’s no possible way this will be the worst thing to come out of the Toxie franchise, so it does have that going for it. I just hope this doesn’t kick off a trend of Troma reboots if it somehow does succeed. 

So it’s not an origin story about the character Latrine from Robin Hood: Men In Tights?

Same. 

Oh god, yeah. I was ready to defend Grinch until I remembered that it only looks palatable when compared to its follow-up.

Only issues I’ve had: Controller issues (ghost inputs when it’s cold and right thumbstick being wonky... same problem as my old DS3, weirdly) and for some unfathomable reason, Garden Warfare 2 and only Garden Warfare 2 trips my breakers when I play it. It may be the single strangest issue I’ve ever had.

Maybe I’m just reading too much into it, going through some shit myself, but those followup tweets... I seriously do hope someone’s checked on whoever posted those. 

Better yet, all public domain songs. I’m way into the idea of unlicensed biopics having the star sing, say, Camptown Races. 

Yeah, I love MM, I think he’s an underappreciated actor whenever he shows up in something, but this seems to be for the best, to say the least. 

100% right. When I was much younger (like teenage young, before I could handle my symptoms), I had a couple of mental illness breaks where I’d just snap and scream the most hurtful things I could at someone for as long as my voice could hold out without any rational thought behind any of it, and even with the lack of…

On the bright side, the local bars here are doing great business!

That’s actually the world map for GTA6. They decided to scale down a little. 

New wave? Are they sure it wasn’t one a-them draft dodgin’ beatnik artists?

My kneejerk reaction was “Fuck him”, but yeah, thinking about it, I think he meant well but expressed it in an astoundingly wrongheaded way. 

It’s the Dot Com bubble all over again, but with more resources behind it. Curious to see how many streaming services exist in ~2 or 3 years.
