That’s great, but I’d think he’d be more concerned about bird flu.

Sure, it’s common knowledge, but thank you for the reminder of just how great Alan Rickman was in Galaxy Quest.

who also penned the book it’s based on, about a town that turns its back on video games after they provoke—spoilers—a TV-based dog crushing

They’re being saved for the inevitable live performance of whatever new song is written for this for Oscar consideration. A third of the way through: “Ladies and gentlemen...Kristin Chenoweth and Adele Dazeem!”

It wasn’t “Cosby Show”- or “Cheers”-level successful, but it landed in the top 30 every season. It had limited syndication over the ensuing decades, which I think really hurt keeping awareness of it alive on a big scale. While it’s currently on HBO Max, the original HotC had been relegated to something like Roku TV or…

More importantly for the moment: so was Brian Robbins, the current president/CEO of Paramount Pictures, president of Nickelodeon and some kind of president with Viacom proper.

You never know what kind of ad you’ll find on Craigslist. . . And this one has a happy ending.

To be honest, I was more concerned about Meadow’s ability to parallel park.

Thank you (as well as @Umfozzles, @Ska and @Learn) for your strong suggestions! I shall definitely give BOTW another go very soon.

The eponymous class is decidedly smaller this time around

Sadly, no. Just about a 10- or 15-second animated title card (w/annoying music), with actual credits run as text over the next minute or so of the show.

A list of best-selling Switch games on Wikipedia has it at No. 27. However, I’m not sure how accurate it is overall as it’s using old data. For example, it says Fire Emblem sold 2.87 million, but that’s as of March 2020. In November of that year, Nintendo sales data said FE had sold 3.02 million, which would’ve move…

I bounced of BOTW hard when it and the Switch launched, but I want to try again to give it another shot as I’ve read/seen so much praise of the game. (Weapon degradation is just a huge turnoff to me.)

Oh, I’d completely forgotten about the Mafia III DLC. I haven’t played it, either. I think I may join you in downloading it and giving it a go very soon.

Hate to read this. While it wasn’t perfect, I thought “Mafia III” had some good gameplay and a better story/storytelling. I would’ve been interested in what they did next...

While I could take part in the friendly back and forth about what was included and what wasn’t, I just want to thank this feature for reminding me just how solidly awesome Gold is. 

this is a game show about hunting people for sport

Oh, jeez. I haven’t seen this movie for at least 20 years, but you say that song title and immediately mentally respond “thou...shall...not...kill.”

Why he doesn’t go by the name “Dr. Acula,” I have no idea.

OK, now I’m really looking forward to AWO.
