I am so glad you mentioned what a great season it was for Diane. I loved her this season. I swear, by reading youtube and reddit comments, it’s pretty obvious that soooo many people completely missed the overarching theme of the season. She is absolutely right when she told Bojack “We are NOT the same.” She’s an…

I’m hoping the writing is tightened up. Hopefully the knowledge that this is the “last season” encourages the writers to step their game up. The second half of season 3 was probably the weakest run of episodes of the series so far, I’m sad to say. Not that it was bad, but it was a definite drop in quality from most of…

I’ve seen way too many Rule 34 pics of Batman and Nightwing railing each other, they really kind of stole the thunder from this momentous occasion.

My own mother, who I had a pretty flawed and strained relationship with, died last Saturday. And I was in the room with her.

Condoms, Rose! Condoms! Condoms! Condoms!

Really excited to pick this up. Puberty 2 was a delight, and the three songs she’s released so far have been amazing, particularly “Nobody.” I hope there are more songs on the album that have that song’s pep and those infectious jangly guitars.

She needs to be a guest voice on Bojack Horseman and get in some good meta-jokes in scenes with Sextina Aquafina.

Opinions on the new Nicki Minaj? I’m only a few songs in, but so far I’m appreciating the less-poppy sound.

There was a pretty odd point-and-click adventure game based off of “I Have no Mouth...” I used to play on PC back in the 90s. It used to creep me out, although I never finished it since this game genre, somewhat infamously, had lots of obtuse puzzles and “WTF who would ever figure that out?” moments.

That Street Fighter II cabinet is tempting, but I couldn’t justify the purchase. @_@

Sounds like we’re organizing a pop star battle royale.

Let’s give St. Vincent a morning star.

Matt, I’m sad to see you go. Although I haven’t been participating as much in recent times, this is still probably the only “anonymous” internet community I participate in, and much of that has to do with the stellar articles you and the other contributors create. Thanks for the good reads.

Eh, I’ve never really minded the Mexican stereotypes in Guacamelee. And I’m Mexican American. Not that I speak for us all, but it does kind of remind me of how Speedy Gonzalez cartoons were banned for a while for being stereotypical, even though he was one of the most popular Looney Tunes characters among Mexican and…

Update: apparently his name is a pun based off the Japanese word for “stag beetle,” which is “kuwata” and “boomeranger."

...is he named Boomerang Beetle in your localization of the game? Mind blowing. Here in the US, he’s called Boomer Kuwanger. I still don’t know what a kuwanger is, I’m about to Google it after I post this message.

True, although playing some of the later X games made me retroactively resent the fact that you can’t play as Zero. And heck, Zero doesn’t even have a saber in this game.

Ah, forgive me. It’s just one of those “musician I love doesn’t get enough recognition” fits I’m prone to having. Song as old as time.

Why does everyone seem to be sleeping on Kelela? I mean, AV Club gave her album a good review (frankly, I think it was the best album that came out in 2017), but I’m a little surprised to not see her mentioned here. She seems to be bubbling just under that mainstream breakthrough threshhold.
