In Game Stop’s defense (a sentence that is very painful for me to write), they have been trying to branch out into non-game merchandise, like plushies, t-shirts, Funko Pops, statues and other geeky stuff. Will it save them? Probably not, as most of this stuff can be found elsewhere and no one really goes to Game Stop

If it makes you feel any better, Biden has received more votes than any US Presidential candidate in history, and is going to receive a lot more once all of California is counted. The only thing that makes this look remotely close is the stupid electoral college.

I don’t believe that anything explicitly anti-Semitic ever appeared in Dahl’s works (like there was no villain that was stated to be Jewish in his works), but a lot of people have pointed out that the description of the witches in The Witches bare a lot of similarities to anti-Semitic caricatures. There’s a lot of

Yeah, Fire is my second least favorite of the films just because most of the changes that they made from the book are incredibly stupid (especially the first task), and most of the interesting characters and subplots that I liked were either greatly reduced or cut. I get why, but it makes what was probably my favorite

Yeah, fair. Those people annoy me too.

My major problem with Azkaban is that they cut most of the explanation on why Pettigrew is an Animagus, which makes me wonder how anyone who hasn’t read the books can follow that part of the story, and the one scene that was added with Harry seeing Pettigrew on the map made the twist not work nearly as well in my

This has kind of always been my view. The films are cool to see the major set pieces done in live action, but so much of the explanations that made the plots make sense and the scenes of the characters just hanging out and living their lives at Hogwarts (always my favorite parts of the books) were completely excised.

Orson Scott Card might be the closest parallel that I could think of, but he’s not nearly as famous, and the parallels certainly aren’t perfect there. Most of the other authors with extremely problematic views or behaviors either didn’t have said views or behaviors come out until after their deaths, their views or

Dislike” is a bit of a strong word for my feelings towards Hyrule Warriors, which is the only Dynasty Warriors-styled game that I’ve played. It was enjoyable, but I just enjoy a lot of other games much more, to the extent that I’d rather spend my time with said other games. My main enjoyment was being able to play as

I’ve played the first Hyrule Warriors, and it was alright, but not really my cup of tea (a little too repetitive for my tastes), hence why I wasn’t that interested in this title to begin with. Since this story seems to be more of a riff of BOTW than the epic Zelda crossover that the first game was (which was the main

And this article made me go from having almost no interest in this game to having zero interest in this game. I’m sorry, but I just cannot stand almost anything about Breath of the Wild and can’t understand what others see in it. It’s probably my most hated game of all time.

Yep, although there are some that aren’t quite that synthetic. The stuff that you can get at delis are actually cheese, albeit very mild cheese.

It’s a really mild form of cheddar that originated in the US, hence the name.

So fun fact: Paramore was all Hayley Williams idea. She was signed up as a solo artist at the label, and they wanted to make her a pop star like Britney Spears or the like, but she wanted to make rock music with a full band with its own name. The label actually agreed to her wishes, and they put Paramore together with

I’m going to, just as an exercise, pretend that these were meant to actually be PSAs meant to do what they said it would do. If that is the case, then why would the political affiliations of the participants matter? That is how bullshit this is. In a just world, Trump and his cronies would be thrown in prison for

I really don’t like making fun of people for choosing a certain romance option in a video game (unless it’s Kawakami in Persona 5, in which case I am slightly creeped out. Seriously, dating your teacher!? Why, just why!?). It is just a thing that feels meanspirited to me. How dare people...choose to date someone who

Darn it! Someone commented this before me!

I don’t like horror games very much, so I don’t have many examples. There is one that comes to mind: Queen Vanessa’s Manor in A Hat in Time. I was an adult, and I was still absolutely terrified by this place. The fact that you can’t get a good look at the thing that’s hunting you, and don’t see what it does to you

The way I see it, if your ideas were turned down by Quibi, there are two possibilities. Either you had a great idea that the executives at Quibi were too stupid to see the brilliance of (which is very possible, considering these people thought Quibi was a good idea), or it was an idea so awful that even those out of
