One recent discussion I read (as a gay dude) argues that being gay isn’t necessary to play gay for a couple of reasons. There’s nothing physical about the role that prevents straight people from playing it (as opposed to, say, a white person playing a black character) and insisting on a certain sexuality demands an…

Wealthy family loses everything and is forced to move to a backwoods town, which happens to be their remaining asset.

It’s not widely available at all here; I just did a quick search, and if I wanted some I’d need to got to a specialist retailer online just to buy it. We’re certainly into Halloween if my recent trips to the shops are any indication, but candy corn seems to have largely passed us by.

Speaking as a Brit I’ve always been intrigued by candy corn, but a quick read of the ingredients (thanks, Google page results) has put it back in check for a while.

...What was it?

Since closely replicating someone else’s voice is (I’m guessing) a tricky thing, I say he should lean into doing his own thing. He’s never going to please a chunk of the audience regardless of what he does, and to be perfectly blunt Carl isn’t really a major player in the world of The Simpsons anyway.

I stand corrected!

Yahtzee Croshaw would disagree with you.

Um, none of these characters even exist...

Even if they do that (which I doubt) I don’t think it’ll fix the main flaws of the Kingdom Hearts games—that they’re clunkily written, treat the Disney elements with a mix of reverence and contempt, and don’t actually do anything particularly well. At this point it’s a series that largely trades on the hype and…

Sonic Forces feels like a game that’s squarely aimed at a younger audience, and while I certainly don’t think it’s a good game I think it’s one that younger me would have enjoyed immensely. The customisation alone is enormously fun to play with.

The Vita was nice to use, but its insistence on proprietary memory kneecapped it. You could use a PS3 as an external storage device, but it was still pretty clunky as a workaround, and since basically all of its best titles have been ported there’s little reason for its existence nowadays.

Yeah, the GameCube is very much an outlier. This is the console that gave us a voice-controlled pinball game.

Yeah, but its value is kind of moot when you consider it’s available for a vanishingly small stretch of time before the scalpers dig their hooks into it and massively inflate the price.

Which doesn’t really make sense considering I bought Super Mario 64 on the Wii for £7...

Is the ‘limited production’ a sign it’ll be digitally delisted or simply that physical copies will be short-lived? Why is Nintendo taking this approach to some of the biggest titles in their library?

Yeah, shows like BoJack and Big Mouth have redeeming qualities that help them to push past it, but most of the time it’s just... bad. Jumping on a bandwagon and refusing to acknowledge the bandwagon is just full of garbage.

I appreciate that Lego are trying to take one of their ranges in a bold new direction, though it’s a shame this is aimed squarely at kids. Still, I can’t really blame Lego for going in that direction.

I think that’ll probably be my reaction if I ever get round to watching this show; something that’s perfectly digestible, but not terribly interesting or innovative. The Cheerios of television, basically.
