+1 for Foxing

It’s a great single indeed. But for my money, the record’s best track is “Like They Do on the TV.”

I’m surprised that Kimbra isn’t getting any year-end list love. Primal Heart was a nice return to form after her sophomore slump. I’d also put in a mention of Tilian’s solo record, which was a really surprising bit of pop rock from a post-hardcore performer.

I know anime films probably aren’t on most critics’ radars, but Digimon Adventure tri.: Future might be the most intellectually insulting conclusion to a series of films I’ve ever seen.

Shoutout to Google for accidentally creating one of the most addictive games of the year in Semantris, a word association game based on machine learning algorithms.

I don’t know exactly how “punk” is being defined here, but mewithoutYou, The Wonder Years, and Hopesfall are notable omissions.

As someone who finds most of Joyce Manor’s earlier work off-putting, this album was a total shock. It’s legitimately really, really good.

This comment should be the entire article.

One subtlety that always gets left out this discussion is the composition of the ROM libraries that emulator sites host. ROM sites host a lot of old, obscure, hard-to-obtain games, but they also host well-known games that you can easily get on Virtual Console, GOG.com, or PSN. The business model of these sites is…

If I had to guess why Microsoft’s gaming division has become more consumer friendly this generation, I’d say there are two main reasons:

Yeah, leaving out early chess and tic-tac-toe simulators from the ‘50s is an oversight. And even if you want to only include games made for entertainment, you have to start in the late ‘50s with Willy Higinbotham and Tennis for Two. Pong wasn’t the first of anything, really.

It shouldn’t be too hard for Sony to just wrap some of the old PS2 classics in an emulator and sell them on the PSN that way. It’s really stupid that a game like Persona 4 works on my PS3 but not my PS4.

If I have time, I might finally dive into Deltarune this weekend. I downloaded it ages ago, and I quite liked Undertale, so this seems like it’ll be a fun ride.

Yeah, Papa Roach haven’t really been “nü metal” in years.

I actually thought the trailer for this was pretty good (I didn’t understand the backlash) so I’m excited regardless.

I can understand liking 2 Broke Girls; it was often genuinely clever. Its problem was that it would ping-pong between entertaining and stupidly offensive over and over again within each episode.

Alternate headline: “Working Titles Need Work, Which Is Why They’re Working Titles”

I’ve been in a bit of a gaming funk lately, but I bought Marble It Up! for my Switch earlier this week, and I’ve been enjoying the heck out of it. It’s a little on the short side, to be sure, but it’s got rock-solid mechanics, a groovy soundtrack, and a difficulty curve that hits the sweet spot between ease and…

Hahaha as if I could afford to hire a lawyer. :P

I’m sorry, but I just didn’t buy the premise of this episode at all. Rebecca has been shown numerous times over the past three seasons to enjoy practicing law; the reason she left her New York job was because she didn’t like the pressure of working a stressful corporate law position and the kind of hyper-competitive,…
