They’re clearly taking inspiration from [insert Batman story].

Was the title supposed to tongue in cheek?  If anything they used the teaser to get this out of the way since everyone assumed/knew already.

I have never seen a space as watered down as the bloated behemoth that is spin-off version of Monopoly.  They have been doing these for over 20 years and in abundance.  They must be cheap as shit to produce.

Maybe not illegal, but we’re already seeing the downplaying of education. Recently I saw two people on Facebook arguing over speech impediments in some fashion. One had no knowledge of it and another works in the field with two degrees. The first person said, and I quote, “I really do not care about your degrees”.

There are tons of schools where kids literally don’t have enough books and teachers buying school supplies out of their own pockets is incredibly common, and you want to reduce spending? I completely disagree.

If this was an exact replica beyond physical appearance and such, that would be one thing.  This is not “reuniting with her daughter” though.  It’s not even “reuniting with a VR clone of her daughter”.  It’s her playing in VR with something vaguely resembling her daughter in spirit, which I’m sure would be powerful,…

This is probably a good time to reveal how many of these people actually have played.  I think I’ve played maybe 3.

I really enjoyed the substance, but it gave me flashbacks and reminders of why I don’t watch reality TV competitions much anymore, if at all. Just so much manufactured everything, and most hour-long shows like this just beg to be shrunk down to a half an hour.

Damn that’s even riskier than I would’ve guessed. I’m not in the business, but that was kind of why I made the original post. I’ve watched a bit of reality TV and have learned a little about this and that, and even I know that it’s possibly the most competitive, demanding business you can get into. There’s also that…

Yikes. In this day and age and with all the information that’s out there, if anyone goes into the restaurant business then I would hope they understand that it’s a business and not just a chef sitting in the back cooking stuff while minions take care of everything else. Food needs ordered from vendors, schedules need…

It’s basically an hour-long commercial for your company too. Pretty much a win-win for every skeevy company involved. I bet more people know about that Nestle episode than know about how Nestle takes public water and sells it for profit.

Oh abso-fucking-lutely, and that doesn’t forgive much of what rich assholes do, but people are deluding themselves if they don’t think that power wouldn’t get to them.

I generally like the idea, but the example at the end sounded like putting a salad on top of a bed of rice?  Is that something people do?  It sounds like a completely foreign and random combo to me.

You do see a certain percentage of ads that just keep it simple which, to your point, I find refreshing compared to the usual “Laugh you bastards” Super Bowl ads.

Maybe I was just younger, but I thought in the ‘80s and ‘90s there was mostly a sense of “It’s the Super Bowl so let’s put out our best ad!”.  For years now it seems like the new sentiment is “Let’s try really, really, really hard to be really, really, really funny!”.  The ads just feel so purposeful now.

Top comment IMO. Was about to say the same thing. The Art of Atari is awesome and has a lot of great company info as well, along with a good bit of insight from the artists themselves on how they came up with all those classic box art designs.  Great, great book and I’ll probably pass on the one above because I think…

I had no idea one could write this many words about a single SNL episode in the year 2020.

Played one of these and it was really fun.  Naturally I gave up after the first puzzle that took me more than about 10 tries, but there is a special please for any puzzle game that keeps my interest past that point lol.

Dead Rising is what I thought of!

Yeah this happened to me with a pizza place once.  It never got farther than the initial phone call, but it was disappointing when they were like “Yeah we just haven’t updated our website in awhile” as if they were expecting a reply of “Okay I’ll pay eight more dollars.  No problem”.
