Jack and Jill doesn’t need and doesn’t deserve the effort put into this kind of fandom even though I get that there’s more love in these parodies than in a single moment of that movie. And I say this as somebody who would probably pay money for a cut of Pixels that was just Peter Dinklage not giving a fuck channeling…

Maybe a good middle ground would be noting that the number of upcoming releases and when they’re coming out, but not putting the titles and game descriptors in?

This comments section has taught me that 80's kids who care a lot about GI Joe still exist on the internet in the 2021. I guess it’s strange to me because I was born late enough to never see a single episode on TV, but early enough that pop culture and especially 2000's era internet was saturated with references. I…

Calling Lethal Weapon 3 relevant is an insult to relatively more relevant things, like youtuber drama, reality TV, annoying Rick and Morty fans, Bing Crosby, Shrek memes, the Lyndon Larouche movement, insisting that Carole Baskin really did kill her husband though, and the last time my cats took a shit. 

Clapton used to be a guitar god, but he’s ascended to the instrument of a true god emperor, complaining on social media. 

As an unvaccinated individual, I appreciate him standing up for our rights to gather in public places and listen to his angelic unmasked and unvaccinated voice. I encourage all other fellow unvaccinated individuals make sure to attend as many Eric Clapton concerts as possible and invite all their unvaccinated friends…

I kind of get what Beth sees in him from that - like, he’s just sooo confident in his horrible ideas it can be kind of sexy as in a way where you want to be in a position of power over him in order to keep him from fucking up.

It’s a sad world we live in where Biz Markie is dead at 57 while, to pick a random example, Henry Kissinger still lives and breathes freely. What an incredible talent who didn’t only have a beautiful and unique voice but also was willing to be a supporting player for a huge number of legends. The only silver lining is…

To be fair, it seems like she’s at least admitting she did something wrong and isn’t contesting that out of a fear of sounding whiney. It’s not moral fortitude and I’m sure her cancel club friends include cool bros like Louis C.K. or whatever but the bar is so low for me in terms of celebrities taking accountability…

I’d worry more about my kids seeing Bruno or the Brothers Grimsby. 

A big thing that hasn’t aged well for me is the amount of male insecurity that’s all over those shows - while an MST3K episode can have a joke about trans women or gay panic that haven’t aged very well in the course of an hour and a half, you don’t have anything like Alice in Superjail or the hand banana episode of…

I actually liked this one a fair bit - it was kind of creative connecting emotional commitment to the environment to how Rick and Morty and Summer’s relationships, and the bit about Planetina being the only person Morty’s met who takes him seriously felt real enough to be poignant. It does feel a little bit like a…

Hey, you’re completely right that Nintendo has been anti-consumer since pretty much forever, but Super Mario Advance 4 is awesome and not that. All the e-reader levels are extra levels that weren’t in the original Super Mario 3, and they were all included already unlocked in the Wii U virtual console release later.…

Strangely enough, Covid has made me more picky about this kind of thoroughly mediocre TV. The first two parts of Disenchantment were basically instant watches for the pedigree of the creatives behind it, but I just don’t feel any inclination to watch this one immediately. It’s not bad, but there’s not much about the…

After years of waiting, Hiveswap Act 2 is finally out, so I’m probably going to play it twice this weekend - once to just go through and see the story, and then maybe once again to try out random combinations of items and actions and characters to see what jokes are stuffed in there. I love the writing in it, but I’m…

You had me at Erinn Hayes.

Just call it “Paramount Factorial” or “Paramount!” for short. 

Persona 4 Golden just asked me to save my game because a bunch of twists are about to happen, so I’m buckling in for a weekend of cutscenes where it turns out that the guy we thought was the real criminal and not a copycat is actually not the real criminal at all. I know who it’s actually going to be from random…

To be pedantic, most of the highest profile and most serious allegations are about players in the Wii U/Ultimate scene that follows the latest games in the series. But both scenes have had endemic issues and are facing a reckoning.

Thank you for breaking this down further! I only saw the headlines but this really breaks down where journalism is failing us.
