Hey, it “worked” with Archie didn’t it? Makes me wonder what light-hearted cartoon is next in line to get Riverdale’d? Maybe a version of Monster High where Frankie has to comfort Draculaura when the burdens of immortality get too heavy? Meanwhile, it was a full moon last night which means Clawdeen just killed…

 I remember, as a little kid, losing my shit when Chewbacca suddenly roared on stage to fight Darth Gonzo!

THAT’S the problematic takeaway you got from this game? That a bad Dad got off easy?

I’m more of a Spaghetti Factory man myself. 

Well, there’s Theory of a Dead Man. The people who wanted TO BE Nickleback SO MUCH!

My nominee for one of the best internet things to come out in 2020.

 Penny Arcade points to exactly what I feared would happen if the gaming industry got the idea that decimal generation consoles were a viable idea.

I’m surprised it took this long.

 I think I'm the only person in the world who didn't like Freakazoid. I liked the first couple of episodes well enough when we got measured doses of Freakazoid with him switching back and forth between his secret identity. Then they decided to have him be Freakazoid all the time. The constant,  unrelenting zany got…

“Preacher” is basically a guided tour of all the different kinds of people Ennis hates.
