I recently watched a documentary on Netflix about the world record for Nibbler (Man vs. Snake) that Mitchell featured in, and it definitely showed him a much more positive light. He seems legitimately supportive of others who try for the records, even if he’s not afraid to play up some pro-wrestling-style rivalries…

He’s definitely seen that way, and he knows it. But it is largely an act. He plays the part of the heel, but, even in King of Kong, there are clues that there’s a lot more to him than that. There was a recent documentary about the quest to set the all-time high-score record for Nibbler that shows him a much more…

A lot of extensions didn’t have “a year to be ready.” Yes, Mozilla announced that the old extension framework was going away almost two years ago, but the WebExtensions framework that replaced it was still being reworked and refined right up to the even of Firefox Quantum’s release. Heck, there are a lot of promised…

I figure the explosiveness of the regeneration is less a result of the Doctor’s mental state and more a factor of how long he’s been fighting to hold it off. The tenth Doctor delayed his regeneration so he could go visit all of his old friends, and the twelfth had been fighting of his own for some time. By the end,…

Not just character development. One of the overarching themes of The Last Jedi is hopelessness and the ultimately futility of war. Luke talks about it at length, and it’s a crucial plot beat when the heroes finally send out their distress signal and nobody bothers to answer. But if you remove the Finn/Rose middle act,…

Oh, I’m not disagreeing with you that the continuity between the originals and the prequels is frequently lacking. I’m just not sold that it’s all that important. If the prequels were well-written, exciting spectacles, I suspect the majority of their audiences would have been happy to overlook the myriad continuity…

That’s a problem with prequels in general, but I’m not convinced it’s an insurmountable one. For one thing, I don’t really think lack of continuity is one of the SW prequels’ fatal flaws. Yes, Obi-Wan not recognizing the droids is a flaw, but, honestly, who cares? Revenge of the Sith doesn’t magically become a better…

The problems with the prequels weren’t the ideas, really. Lucas’s ideas were fairly solid, if not necessarily spectacular. It was the script and especially the direction that let down the side.

I’m sorry, but no. John Stocker’s Toad is the best version of Toad. It’s an objective fact.

There’s a good chance a lot of the game’s scripts and/or physics are tied to the frame rate. That was true in games like Skyrim and Fallout 4, and those were designed with a PC release in mind from the start. A game originally designed for console/handheld release like World of Final Fantasy, where PC release may well…

Again, I’m not saying it can’t be done, but in the world of comics, it really hasn’t.

“Worked as well” in what sense, though? Creatively? Probably, judging by a long history of ensemble casts in movies. Commercially? Perhaps not, but if they’d started with The Avengers and it had done Iron Man numbers it wouldn’t have mattered. They would have spun solo movies out of it and the huge, record-setting box…

The Magnificent Seven, then. Or, well, take your pick. The notion that Marvel invented the ensemble movie with The Avengers flies in the face of decades of Hollywood history.

Guardians of the Galaxy was an ensemble to ensure that Infinity War can happen so it’s still within that notion of a big, shared universe.

I think the “solo movies first” hot take is the absolute worst lesson WB or anyone can take from this. Yes, it can work, and, yes, it worked for Marvel. But the idea that it’s the only way to lead into an ensemble action movie is absurd. Audiences didn’t need eleven prequels to prepare them for Ocean’s Eleven. Even at…

I was moderately obsessed with it when it was originally airing. I was genuinely heartbroken when it got canceled.

That’s not true!

For what it’s worth, they’ve always denied doing any drugs. Said that they wouldn’t have been able to be as prolific as they were if they had. But, of course, since this was the ‘70's, take all of that with the requisite grains of salt.

That’s... not a bad comparison, actually. Although I’d argue that Doki Doki Literature Club! is better realized than The Uncle Who Works at Nintendo.

The Steam version isn’t censored, for what it’s worth.
