The Lion King’s character designs are similar to Kimba, yes, but Kimba’s designs are obviously inspired by the same classic Disney cartoons that... the Lion king is inspired by.

And how can this article say The Lion King isn’t original and not mention fucking Hamlet once? THAT’S what the movie is most directly based…

I can’t believe they spent 7 years making a dumbed down version of Journey for cell phones, with microtransactions.

After the Switch Lite reveal, Nintendo already said they wouldn’t announce any new Switch models this year. I don’t think this indicates anything at all besides the fact that there’s a newer version of the nVidia chip the Switch uses that is supposedly more energy efficient and thus allows the battery to last longer.…

I just had this start happening to my left Joy-Con. For what it’s worth, the electrical contact cleaner solution has helped quite a bit, but we’ll see for how long. I’ve heard the biggest issue is that Nintendo went the cheap route and used graphite parts for the control sticks, which quickly break down into little…

I’m old enough to remember when ESPN had a special video that would play during various game broadcasts that was all about how great of a guy Allen was and how he had put the tripping stuff behind him and how JJ Redick had coached him on how to handle being the unfairly hated Duke player.

Those were simpler times,…

I see what you’re saying that the Thunder have the potential to affect the league a major way for the next 5-6 years, but they’ll have to do more than luck out on most or all of their draft picks. The reason the Warriors were able to change the NBA was because they got an exceedingly unique player in Steph Curry and…

That image of the octopus scene from the DLC actually convinced me to buy the game during E3. I had been thinking about it anyway, but that image touched a deep nostalgic nerve for water and beach levels from NES and SNES games, especially TMNT games, and the game was on sale, so I bought it.

Absolutely fabulous game.…

I’ll be honest, this article actually flipped how I saw the situation. I’m a KU alum, I watched Morris play in college, and even I was thinking he was being shady backing out of this deal. But I didn’t realize how much teams abuse this relationship, and I also didn’t know the shitty details about what the Knicks…

If you’re hung up on the A/B or X/Y button swapping, get this Mayflash adapter instead:

Lots of people only play their Switches in portable mode anyway, so for them it’s nicer to have a smaller, less expensive unit that doesn’t have the drawbacks necessary to support a play mode they don’t use.

Just because you don’t want it doesn’t mean nobody would...

This tweet from Jim Zub is specifically referring to writing X-Men comics, but it really holds true for any long-term property. Older Pokemon fans have expectations they feel they’re entitled to have met, even though those expectations are hazily defined and almost always impossible to adequately fulfill. And even…

Question for people who know Varisty well: were they the first fast food restaurant to use the queue/ordering format of having one person at a register taking orders from lines on other side, who then pick up their food farther down the line?

I’ve seen it also used at other extremely high traffic fast food restaurants…

A lot of these movie/TV therapists would be quite terrible therapists in real life.

In any case, my sister is a therapist and told me that the most realistic depiction she’s ever seen of a therapist is Liv Tyler’s character in Reign Over Me.

For what it’s worth, I ran across this tweet relaying something from an art director on the film:

“What is it about J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar that warrants the both of them being on here over other rappers?”

Well, I question why anyone except current and former USWNT players and coaches on here, but I think it should be clear why J. Cole and Kendrick were chosen over other rappers.

ALSO TOY COMMANDER.

Yakuza definitely refined the gameplay, but I super don’t care at all for Yakuza’s world, characters, and story. Despite how awkward it is to play now, Shenmue just has some intangible attractive quality to it for me.

Grandia’s battle system is so excellent that it floated the series through an obtusely awkward sequel (Xtreme) and a straight up bad sequel (Grandia 3).

GRANDIA 2 WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A WORD WITH YOU, LUKE.

Meanwhile, out on the field, England acted like they were entitled to everything, including penalty kicks for missing the ball. Welp. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
