I watched the commentary, too. It was pretty interesting. I liked when they were talking about how the voice director ended up doing some fill-in voices for Pokemon like Charmander and Psyduck, not realizing that they were going to become major recurring characters for the show. Kinda cool.

The prequels are so universally shit, I find it pointless to rank them. The best one is the one you can get the most joy out of, and for me, that’s Episode 1. I actually liked the podracing stuff, not as Star Wars material, but just the idea of super-dangerous intergalactic chariot racing. Some part of it reminded me…

I finally finished watching the series last week. To me, the finale was good, but ruined the gag, that everything is always taken down in one punch. Superman’s history is chock full of him doing absolutely insane things to overcome the odds, but Saitama’s deal was simply that he could beat anything with one punch, and…

I feel like America really needs its work ethic overhauled. There’s such an emphasis on constantly doing, but whenever I turn somewhere to get this service that thankless employees are apparently toiling endlessly to provide, it seems like everyone is doing a quarter-assed job. Every business I interact with over the…

Skyward Sword Figma was overrated as hell. It only seemed good because there was nothing else comparable. This is the Link figure I’ve been waiting for for 25 years. My body is ready.

Welcome to the internet.

Call me a prude, but I’ll take giant robots that turn into cars over religion-themed, innuendo-laden eye candy any day.

Now this is a load. If Nintendo had started churning out a ton of “New 3DS ONLY” games, it would have earned them a tidal wave of criticism for basically finding a way to punish gamers for not buying into their unnecessary hardware revisions. The real draw of the New 3DS was in integrated C stick, and more importantly…

No Skies of Arcadia? THIS LIST IS TRASH.

I’m of the opinion that anyone who can’t decide what video game system they want for themselves is a moron. Even if you can’t work it out by looking at features and exclusives, then just gravitate toward whatever system most of your friends have so you can at least play games with them.

I find there are two schools of thought with an ending like this; one is that, in revealing nothing literal, there is a deeper, less-obvious meaning that embodies some sort of theme or message. The other is that it’s the laziness of the writers masquerading as depth when over-analyzed by rabid fans.

I’m calling it now. Going “episodic” is their excuse to cut a ton of content from the game. There will be no dungeon exploration, no sidequests, and no world map. This will play like a “Best of FFVII” compilation, that just features a bunch of segmented vignettes of the biggest moments of the game for fans to squeal…

I feel like this is shameless backpedaling in an era where people feel like everything needs an explanation. We were better off without knowing.

Aw, did Sonic get retired? That’s a shame. I’m also surprised Mario has never had a balloon.

I forgot how classy the original Zelda logo was. They should bring it back, especially since they keep talking about how the new Zelda game will be returning to the series’ roots.

You seem to have mistakenly included The Dukes of Hazzard jump on this list instead of “Ten Most Ridiculously Awesome Car Moments in Movies”. I’m pretty sure most stunts in that movie were performed with tongue firmly in cheek, and they were all legitimate; they actually launched a Dodge Charger five stories in the…

I’ve resolved to buy one of these games if they ever put a Skies of Arcadia character in. Apparently they just don’t want my money...

So back when this book was good, I recall the one-off issue where Jane revealed she had cancer, and Thor offered to let her see the greatest doctors in Asgard, and she declined, spouting some BS akin to “I have to do this for myself”, which basically amounts to “I’d rather die a slow painful death”. I’m sorry, unless…

I haven’t read a lot of Thor, but when the frog and Beta-Ray Bill got the powers of Thor, did they actually “become” Thor? It’s odd, to me, “Thor” isn’t a mantle or a superhero identity. Thor is Thor. It’s his name. You can become the God of Thunder in his stead, but you can’t become “Thor” in his stead. It just seems…
