This week for me has been all about the surprise Game Pass addition Just Cause 4. I’ve never been crazy about the Just Cause series. I’ve played all of them, but it’s always been the kind of thing I either pick up at a steep discount or borrow from a friend. They’re fine? There’s nothing wrong with them,…

STRFKR’s Rawnald Gregory Erickson the Second, and really just STRFKR in general. I first heard the song in a Target ad. Oh, and I Thought You Were Someone I Knew by Jail Weddings, which I only know from a fan-made trailer for a movie based on the webcomic Questionable Content. Kind of the only lasting effect…

The T Pain reveal and the internet reaction to it has been really vindicating to me because I’ve been saying this for years: T Pain doesn’t use auto tune to disguise the fact that he can’t sing, he uses auto tune because it lets him do a cool robot voice thing that humans can’t do on their own. I’ve never understood…

Trump is a New Yorker. So, I’m pretty sure, are a lot of the people at the highest level of his campaign. That, or any of a number of wealthy, “blue” states. He also had plenty of wealthy, educated backers and supporters who were eyeing those juicy tax breaks. So hey, before you reduce this down to just “rural bad,…

It’s a great video, don’t get me wrong, but gah... those non-stop quick cuts give me a headache. Maybe I’m just getting old.

I’ve been watching a lot of Ruthless Aggression era stuff, and just the other day I watched the Raw where Miz, still in “former Real World guy” mode and relegated to hosting duties, tells Maryse that she’s been cut from the Diva Search contest. In retrospect it’s such a perfect romcom “these two don’t even know…

Surf’s up on... PREMISE BEACH!

Dear god this is embarrassing. And maybe this is just because I’ve had a bug up my ass about this for the past few weeks, but I still feel weird about people getting so celebratory about Krysten Sinema’s election. She’s pro-ICE, anti-net neutrality, and has voted in line with Trump 66 percent of the time, but I guess…

Chris Pine is going to absolutely kill it in the Mellencamp biopic someday.  

Hbomberguy kind of got milkshake ducked a while back, for some people. A video producer he worked with was accused of sexual assault and he did a not-great job of responding to it. It pretty badly damaged his credibility with some parts of the online left, although the general consensus among them right now seems to…

If this series is canon with the other Marvel comics, that means it’s canon with the movies, which means anything that happens inside the park is canonical. We control canon now! Go wild!

I’ll take an avalanche of shlock and kitsch over Netflix’s “nothing but original shows that are at least three episodes too long and maybe occasionally a movie older than five years” approach.

The irony of Piers whining about how men can’t be men anymore and then criticizing Final Destination for being too bloody and violent is just *chef kiss*

Hey dude, I appreciate the attempt at being an ally, but when gay people are upset about something like this we don’t need you inserting yourself into the conversation to tell us it’s sad for you too because it’s not as sexually exciting for you as a straight guy.

I believe the canonical reason is that she likes dressing flashy, it’s why her hair is pink too. She’s also one of the top officers in a pretty ragtag fighting force, not to mention the best friend of its top general, so it’s not like there’s really anyone who’s gonna tell her not to. And on top of all that, it’s just…

I guess my issue with this take, and really with the episode in general, is that it’s basically saying dying is preferable to living with trauma because the trauma will eventually cause you to snap and hurt somebody. I get that this is Black Mirror and the outcome of a Black Mirror story is rarely going to be…

Here’s the issue with saying “It’s coming, just hold on”: It sounds like the big problem for Insomniac was securing the rights to use the costume. If they said “it’s coming” and then those negotiations fell through, they would’ve ben raked over the coals. If they said “we’re still working on negotiating the license”…

Would that this desk were a time desk!

Was Inifinty War good, or just big? 

I scrolled through the list, growing more and more excited as I didn’t see Sorry To Bother You. “It must be really high up, hooray!” I thought. I’m completely baffled that it didn’t even make the list. It completely nailed the current political and economic moment while still being an endlessly inventive, sometimes…
