It was definitely pretty rough when I lost interest, and you’re not the first person to imply it never improved really (though I hadn’t heard that Willingham increasingly used the characters to spout his political and personal philosophies but...  I’m not surprised). 

I’m in the US and my town has 4 recently-built roundabouts (with 2 more on the way) and it’s been... not great. Mostly because people are idiots. It’s like they come to this unfamiliar circular piece of road and everything they know about how to drive just vanishes from their heads. Most people come to a complete stop…

If this leads to a hour-long-episode Transmetropolitan adaptation, I’m all for it.

I don’t remember the mother character getting vast amounts of stuff to do in the comic, so Sandra Oh gets a lot more emotional heft?

Warner Brothers is now learning the same lesson Bioware did with Mass Effect: as soon as you let the fans tell you what to do, they will never be happy ever again.

The only piece of media AFAIK that explains why he’s coughing and also makes him absolutely TERRIFYING

“We pay literally hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes. We don’t even want government subsidies. We just want to be left alone and the government can’t help itself but to, like: ‘Here’s an oil company driving their oil tanker into some rocks, making a living, you know, living their dream, let’s try to ruin that as…

Yea, it would be very hard. It’s not remotely practical, it was more of an abstract comment about just how stark the difference in cash and value is between Sony and Microsoft.

People say this like you become some doddering old fool when you get past 25. Yeah, maybe your reaction time goes down, but it’s so little and I’d be very surprised if it mattered anywhere than the absolute top levels of competitive play. It’s not a fast cognitive decline either. I think most decline in skill comes mor…

A Very Brady Sequel is an amazing step up from the original movie which was already good.

Gremlins 2...THE NEW BATCH!!

I would argue that those are better than each's first entry. 

Naked gun 33 1/3

Hot Shots Part Deux I’ll take over the original any day.

I just can’t get over the idea that the average streamer is expected to be on air for 8 hours a day. Not even old radio DJs or news show people ever did anything that long.

Nah, you’re not an outlier. On one hand VagueDreams is right that there hasn’t been a lot of new games to play, but I’m pretty sure most people rushing out to buy these systems are aware of that.

I dunno... I got mine by way of having a friend hunt one down and paid him a finder’s fee of $100 plus the cost of the system. I haven’t played any PS5 exclusives except for Astro’s Playroom (which I want waaaaay more of), but otherwise, I’ve used it to work on my PS4 backlog with lovely performance enhancements. I’m…

Or maybe people are enjoying playing games at full resolution at 60fps instead of 1080p 30fps of last-gen? I’ve also found myself spending way too much time staring at ray-traced reflections in my suit in Miles Morales. Ghost of Tsushima was spectacular at 60fps, I specifically held off on playing it for the PS5 and…

It’s also a show that, in aiming at a more mature tone and subject matter, including a lot of politics and complex world-building, really fell flat on its face. A lot. 

Korra consistently had villains whose motivations and actions were rooted in serious grievances about how their world was run, which suggests a more…

I will continue to be amazed until the I’m lowered into my grave that the idea of “maybe the princess can save herself once in a while” absolutely fucking shattered so many adult brains into of millions pieces.

just...just jaw-to-the-floor astounded to this day.
