I think people are missing the point about the lawsuit. It’s not about people following the advice of a random celebrity they trusted. It’s about them finding out that the random celebrity was a paid shill for the product and not genuinely recommending the product.

Still waiting on a Return to Monkey Island review, but I guess yet another update on what a Twitch streamer pulled out of their nose this morning will have to do.

“Pressing a button to scream”

I always thought it was weird that, at the end of Addams Family Values, Wednesday’s paramour from camp (played by David Krumholtz) is dressed like Gomez—complete with mustache. I was like 9 or 10 when the movie came out, and my immediate question (which I dared not ask anyone) was “does she want to kiss her dad or…

I wouldn’t say “misplaced”. He just has never done anything better than Andy in Parks & Rec, and that character was as obnoxious as he was cute. He keeps getting cast as a leading man when no one in his audience asked him to lead anything. He is just shoved down your throat.

Nah. I don’t have to “see the whole thing” to pass judgment. That’s like, the whole reason a trailer exists: so I can judge whether or not the movie may be to my liking, without having to see the whole movie.

Quick chug some Mountain Dew, extreme broham.

Emmet was basically Pratt in an animated form, a character designed for the VA, so his voice worked as that character.

Mario... isn’t. And it feels that he doesn’t have the range needed for the character. This is basically Chris Pratt being just... Chris Pratt, and that’s not a good thing when the character is Mario.…

Nah, they said game...so maybe this one?

It’s honestly really strange to me that this movie seems to be taking quite a bit from the original Mario movie. Even the fact that it’s using the basic premise of “Mario is a plumber from Brooklyn” which basically only existed for a few years in the ‘80s before it was scrubbed away is unexpected.

I mean, Martinet is a professional voice actor. He’s shown he has more range than the full-bore Mario voices. Just listen to him give a panel or something. His regular speaking voice sounds more “Mario” to me than whatever Pratt is doing. I would have loved to see him do something since he clearly loves and respects…

Charles Martinet has done lots of other voice roles and has quite a bit of range; the idea that he’d use his exact vocal performance from the games when the movie calls for something else is absurd. There’s little reason to believe a guy with that much talent couldn’t find a happy middle ground between “Mario voice…

The weird thing is that Pratt specifically said he’s been working on his Mario voice and it’s gonna be something people won’t expect and then... it’s just his regular voice with a little bit of something on a few lines. I can’t tell if it’s just the usual meaningless marketing speak or if he genuinely thinks he’s…

The thing about Charles Martinet is I don’t think his usual performance is something I’d want to sit through for 80 minutes.

So, I like the concept of these special evolutions. But what I don’t like is the implementation. More specifically, how you’re supposed to figure it out. Which seems to boil down to trial-and-error, knowledge from previous games, or turning away from the game and looking it up on the Internet.

Why the F, when our…

Sarstan, your comment history is a veritable list of righty anti-trans talking points. Unless you have something new to contribute and can prove you’re not just Ron DeSantis hate-whacking it on a feminist site, I’m not ungreying you, sorry.

Posting articles calling out transphobia while allowing transphobia to go unchecked in your comments section is hypocrisy at its finest... And by finest, I mean worst.

As long as he keeps getting away with this shit (yes, I know, I know. The mods love him. And they obviously do.), these articles are empty and meaningless. The phony words of phony progressives. At this point, Kylie Cheung’s articles are as fucking worthless as Bang Bang Boebert’s “thoughts and prayers”. Same goes for…

Sh0e is a cryptofascist who came to prominence during Gamergate. Her right wing grift fell apart and now she’s trying to grift liberals. Not that Balenciaga is good here, but you know. It’s all a little Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know and all that, and I’m more than a little worried that it’s going to be used…

I didn’t think the cop skin itself was weird but I must say the addition of the “Turning off body cam” emote, adding auto-lock aiming against Doomfist, Baptiste, Ana, Pharah, Sojourn, Sombra and Symmetera, and any Cop Tracer “Play of the Game” is now just a clip of her guest appearing on Sean Hannity is definitely a…
