... damn it, that makes me curious, which sucks because the last time I remember reading it the art was kind of sketchy.

Is this really a thing in the manga or just some hypothetical figurine? Because I stopped reading about when Gon started... fighting giant ants I think? Either way, this damn thing looks crazy.

I believe you post it anyway with #firstworldproblems

I got all excited, then I saw there was nothing I was interested in, and then I saw none of them are actually on sale right now.

They also all seem to have hair with the ability to suddenly defy gravity. I swear, it's not a Ghibli film without someone staring at something and have their hair suddenly raise up without any explainable force causing it. Doesn't matter the reason, be it surprise, anger, excitement, if it's Ghibli, the hair will…

I bet it taste like shit...

If you had to wear such a mask why would you NOT choose something like this? Go full post-apocalypse or go home.

Whoops, by I haven't "seen an anime that has done that" I mean use an English spoken song for a ending theme song, never mind a classic rock song like Roundabout.

Unrelated: Just started watching the first part of the new Jojo Anime, Phantom Blood, and I was in utter shock that they use Yes' Roundabout for the closing theme song. I can't say I've ever seen an anime that has done that, and it's surprisingly pleasing, especially considering all of the rock references in the…

The one problem with it: the movie's not getting a wide release anymore because Harvey Weinstein is a giant asshole.

It took me like a good 5 minutes to finally realize that, holy shit, that's Frank from Face Off. THE SYSTEM WORKS!

So Mark Hamill isn't playing an older Luke, but an older Paul Atredies?

There's also But Anyway, and when they showed up in the entirely unnecessary Blues Brothers 2000 they performed this lovely little gem that hasn't actually shown up on any of their albums:

Honestly, even though they're not keeping Cabbages as pets, I have the image of someone taking a head of cabbage, making a fake pet out of it, and am now disappointed no one did that. Cabbage sculptures certainly sound less horrifying than the butter sculptures we have over here in the states. *shudder* *gag*

Hover is up on Kickstarter, but it's already passed its funding goal; the money coming in now is going to go towards stuff like bigger maps, more characters and, best of all, soundtrack contributions by Hideki Naganuma, who worked on the Jet Set games.

I would guess consciousness is a big motivator, just like it is for us. I mean, we slaughter and farm plants and animals to live, how are we any different?

Because clearly the people who lived in those houses died from smoke inhalation when starting a fire inside their chimney-less cabins.

Timely? Perhaps not. Accurate? Certainly, which seems to be a rare commodity when it comes to most references to video games on TV shows or movies, even matters that may take only a few seconds of Googling to get straight. It's sad, but this is noteworthy. Also, damn funny.

I think Syfy made a game show based on this called EXIT. It was pretty entertaining, which is surprising given the usual tripe that Syfy seems to push these days. I don't think it got picked up for a second season.

Some characters even spend full episodes completely without clothes. The nudity in the show is rampant, but rarely sexual, and is often part of a running gag. It is never anatomically correct—no nipples or pubic hair or penises—but there is no denying that by the end, literally everyone and their dog is completely…
