My math teach in 7th grade (1984-ish) had a record player in the classroom that he would use when we were taking tests or working problems. Sometimes he let students bring in records to play; he was a pretty cool teacher. One day, a girl in my class brought in the Violent Femmes self-titled debut album, which was fine…

Little cracks begin to appear here and there, but there is a moment where someone says a particular name… a name that nobody in the MCU has said in a while… where the proverbial dam breaks and WandaVision starts to reveal the actual game it’s playing.

I saw this video on Twitter, but they changed the music to the theme song from America’s Funniest Home Videos.

“America, America this is you”

As far as Johnny Rotten goes, has anyone ever taken his politics seriously? Has he ever taken politics seriously? I always saw him as “punk” in the trying-to-piss-people-off mold, not like Crass or Discharge who were actually political... and these days, what’s more troll-y than supporting Trump and Brexit?

And I’m…

Confusing, considering the number of stories I’ve seen about how many doses of vaccine are sitting unused...

I don’t care for roguelikes, honestly don’t have a lot of experience with them, and after all the hype and a sale price, I gave in and got Hades on Switch. I played about an hour and a half and turned it off. The art style is nice but the gameplay left me utterly cold.  Just  boring.

I started saving the comics I read around the time of the original Secret Wars, so very early in my Spidey reading history I was introduced to an alternate costume, and not gonna lie, I loved the black costume. But the problem with any costume change, like with almost all the most recognizable heroes (Spidey,…

Movie Jack Black can be great (School of Rock, Pick of Destiny, Tropic Thunder) but music Jack Black is better. Tenacious D is marketed as a comedy band, but they have some truly great songs and I unironically love them.

Yeah, so I’m guessing they were originally the French Force.

I watched Soul, which I was expecting to be pretty meh about and ended up loving it. The animation is as impressive as ever and the style of the Jerrys was fantastic. I felt the message. Definitely top 10 Pixar for me, maybe top 5, I have to let it marinate and I’ll probably have to watch it again.

I then watched WW84.…

XBox strategy.

And it’s weird in such a huge, open world, you can only buy food at one stand in a row of five and there’s no obvious in-game reason for that. The world feels LESS ambitious than Witcher 3 to me. While I’ve enjoyed the game fine on PC, it needed another year to iron out the bugs and maybe fill in the cracks. It LOOKS…

Yeah, it’s the Witcher 3 without the benefit of an existing well-written property to base it on. I mean, I guess Cyberpunk is an existing tabletop RPG property (I’ve never played it), but Geralt, Ciri, Yennefer, Triss, Dandelion... they had a trunk-load of well drawn characters to use. Cyberpunk characters are pretty…

I get that laptops are generally minimally upgradeable, but the last 3 gaming laptops I’ve purchased, I could at least swap/add hard drives and RAM, they came with at least 1TB HD, 8GB RAM (immediately upgraded to 16GB) and 17" screens and decent video cards and none of them broke $1200 so I don’t understand the…

I have my G1 Jetfire (basically a VF-1) and a Zentraedi Battlepod on my bookshelf in my living room (and an SDF-1 in a box in my garage along with some figures I got from Kay Bee years after the show was off the air). I loved Robotech (I only ever saw Macross because I started Jr High and had to leave like 5 minutes…

Except they show the wreckage of the Citadel... Unless that’s a red herring, I’d guess it’s post ME3, but I wouldn’t be upset if I was wrong, ME 2.25 could be interesting.

Right? Darth Vader is in the armor at the end of ROTS, and Christensen is just over 6' tall, so... he’s doing what? Wearing Gene Simmons KISS-style boots? Just the voice, instead of James Earl Jones or a soundalike? He’s going to do a JEJ impression? I don’t get it. Am I missing something?

Completely forgot she was in it... and I like Dazzler! The way Sansa Stark sleepwalked (sleptwalk?) through the movie was apparently so hypnotic, nothing in the movie stuck to my brain.

That’s ok, I SAW Dark Phoenix and can barely remember anything in it.
