I had the same feeling when I heard Psyduck was really a platypus

The flower on Venusaur’s back is a Rafflesia, which is locally known as “meat flower” since it smells like rotting flesh. For some reason that’s all I can think of after seeing this

“Black and Tan” and “Irish Car Bomb.” Oh, wait...

90s pro sport style guides dictate that the mascot has to be depicted playing the sport in question. The Mighty Ducks logo is just sporting equipment designed for a duck, so there’s a strong suggestion that a Duck With Attitude is playing hockey somewhere, but no visual confirmation

Art is like a sales job: the more money you make doing it the more people you have lining up to tell you anyone could do it...while having no intention of actually testing that theory

You nailed it, I read this article and my first thought was “this is exactly how I felt before I decided to quit Mad Max.”

If your ultimate goal is to sell tickets and make sure your marketing partners feel they got their money’s worth, you really don’t want to see your target demo savagely mocking the movie and, specifically, the images you’re asking those marketing partners to plaster on their products. It’s one thing if people outside…

They should just start going by year, like they do with Madden

The blue wave in 2018 was fueled by the notion that Dems would stand up to Trump if given power; deliberately not standing up to Trump using the power granted to them is a questionable strategy at best for 2020

God of War and Horizon: Zero Dawn off the top of my head, and they’ve been trying to make Uncharted work forever.

We proved in 2016 that a centrist with strong associations to past administrations isn’t capable of beating an absolute idiot with less money and a Twitter account (twice: Jeb! and Hilary)

That’s not what I’m saying. A Biden victory over Trump would be great and I’ll vote for him if he’s the nominee, I just think there’s no way he’s capable of beating Trump. But if that’s what the center-left insists upon making happen, maybe they’ll learn that repeating their plan for 2016 was a mistake before they…

You’re acting like I’m expressing a preference: If he’s nominated, he will lose for the same reasons Hilary lost. I’ll vote for him if he’s the nominee, but I don’t see him overcoming Trump’s fired up base and build in advantages as an incumbent

At this point, that might be for the best

I’m not condoning what he did or how he did it, but it’s been 10 years and I think enough time has passed that we can all admit it: he was correct that “Single Ladies” should have won

Don’t forget Venezuelan! The right-wing sure as fuck won’t

I think they’re looking at the whole Epic/Steam situation and realizing that Google has the money to offer the developers a sweeter deal, but a loyal customer base can counter that. No better way to shore that up than bury a 20 year old hatchet

This trailer came on before Detective Pikachu and it seemed like everyone under the age of 25, all around the theater, immediately started jeering, giving sarcastic standing ovations, and basically turning the theater into a showing of The Room for 3 minutes. No idea if that was just a weird crowd, and as soon as…

In a literal sense, the use of “100% entirely.” Realistically it’s probably both and a lot of other things; storage space required and cultural cache of the Nintendo exclusives definitely rate as well

Buffy and Angel pulled off decent finales based without feeling like they sold out their characters any more than later season writing had already, while definitively destroying the underlying evil that their shows were premised on and suffering meaningful consequences for doing so.
