I like the Advent Children version, but he could have listened to one a little closer to the original version, sure. But what he seems to have enjoyed and commented on the most was the composition, most of which would have been the same across multiple versions of the song.

I saw this video recently and I thought it was really neat, a composer analyzing One-Winged Angel (the Advent Children version) as he was hearing it the first time:

I really enjoyed Titanfall and Titanfall 2 - partially because of the fun split in pilot/Titan combat mechanics, but also partially because my performance was generally better in these games than in Halo or other shooters. I never figured out if that was because I was better at the game than other games or if the more…

If you haven’t been, their “main course” is raw meat (usually pre-cut, pre-seasoned steak, chicken, and/or shrimp) presented alongside the pot of hot liquid (I’m not sure off the top of my head if it’s oil or broth or what). You’re instructed to skewer one piece at a time and let it sit in the liquid until it’s cooked…

I went to The Melting Pot a few months ago, it was pretty good, if a bit overpriced for food I had to cook myself while keeping track of time so I didn’t give myself food poisoning.

I feel the need to specify that this isn’t “which grocery deliveries are most popular in every U.S. state”, it’s (according to the source) “which state/province ordered each category more often than any other state/province in its country” (emphasis mine). The article makes this point (and uses the word “unique” in…

Yeah I’m seeing that now. I think I got confused by this passage:

Also, I feel confident that in the over 80 years since the chocolate chip cookie was invented, someone (and statistically, probably an American) has already come up with this. It’s not a complicated enough idea to have only been first created in 2022, it’s just that this is the first time it’s been sold and then gotten…

Not really - Gosling is getting a lot of (well-deserved) praise here and obviously seeing him perform the song live at such a big event as the Oscars in huge, but I don’t see people saying in two years “I’m going to go see that new Ryan Gosling movie, no idea what it’s about but I loved him in ‘Barbie’ so I gotta…

Interesting, I didn’t have that problem at all.

I mean, that was always the goal. They introduced PreCheck to avoid the longer lines they intentionally created, knowing that eventually enough people would pay them enough money for those lines to get longer and longer. Just wait, if they don’t go the route mentioned here, we’ll be seeing TSA PreCheck+ or whatever in…

I get mad whenever people talk about how great of a deal TSA PreCheck is, as if the TSA didn’t introduce it solely to let people pay them in order to bypass the mess they created. They want you to do it!

I love Chrono Trigger to death, but I’ve only played maybe an hour of one of the Dragon Quests several years ago. I’ve been meaning to get more into that series.

That’s a really hard question, because there isn’t really a “Mario” game genre. There are games with Mario, but they fall across several genres and I struggle to say that Super Mario World deserves the top spot over Mario Kart 8 Deluxe because the former is a 2D platformer and the latter is a racing game, they’re so…

Super Mario 64 is hugely important and has a ton of impact even to today, but the actual game is a little too rough around the edges for me to put it in the top spot like this. I loved it as a kid, but I really struggled to return to it a couple years back when the Super Mario 3D All-Stars pack came out (especially…

I’m glad this entire article was about how to get one “free” sandwich with the purchase of another sandwich in a single location in Hollywood. Definitely something your readers are looking forward to taking advantage of.

I’ll admit, I didn’t see any of Rebel Moon, but what I saw and heart about it didn’t seem encouraging (plus Snyder)

Let’s say hypothetically that he’s right and more people saw Rebel Moon that Barbie - that actually makes Rebel Moon look a lot worse IMO because Barbie was a legitimate cultural phenomenon for months and I don’t remember people mentioning Rebel Moon at all past like two weeks around its release. So if more people saw…

When I was younger and I first watched The Last Stand, I was largely unfamiliar with Juggernaut, so I thought the Vinnie Jones version was pretty good. Then I realized that every other version is inhumanly large and he felt so... tiny.

Reminder that they had Juggernaut in Deadpool 2, where he was completely CGI and voiced by a pitch-shifted Ryan Reynolds. I imagine if they wanted him in the new Deadpool and Vinnie Jones didn’t want to do it, they could probably have just done that again.
