On the one hand, I don’t feel like Spider-Man, as a media property, is necessarily obligated to make a statement about the current state of the NYPD in every one of its various incarnations.

...however, I would argue that THIS incarnation otherwise tries so hard to draw parallels to the political-hotbed zeitgeist of…

This is the one where the hero finally fights high-blood pressure and I’m on-board with that.

You weren’t kidding. Even the bathroom set was maroon.

I mean, my God.

I’m right there with you on this one.

EA roped in Respawn with a publishing deal that allowed them to keep the rights to their Titanfall IP, intentionally sent T2 out the door alongside their own Battlefield 1, which cannibalized sales and forced Respawn into a position in which they needed to be bought out by someone…

I implore all Gold subscribers to check out Monster World IV.

It’s a goddamned gem.

Unwitting comedy club audience returns comeback plans to Louis C.K. with receipt.

“One of Ryuchell’s shoulder now reads “Link,” which is the name of his son. Incidentally, the newborn isn’t named for the Zelda character but Link Larkin from Hairspray.”

WAIT WHAT IS HAPPENING SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME TO MY FAINTING COUCH 

“He and his wife Peco take their fashion cues from Full House, Lisa Frank and pizza.”

Even if the rest of my day becomes pure shite, at least I will have this, the most glorious of sentences.

That sounds like bootlicking bullshit.

It’s funny because the character he was playing on Silicon Valley was a bully and an asshole who didn’t believe he was a bully or an asshole.

It’s like the guy has zero self-awareness.

Right? A Pearl has that “this guitar will swallow the world” sound that Your Best American Girl delivered in spades.

I’m loving this album.

I finally got one and have been playing the shit out of it, which I honestly didn’t think I was going to do. I was born in ‘85, so by the time I had any inclination to play games, the SNES was on the way and the NES was on the outs.

All of this to say that I have no real nostalgia for the NES, but I have been having a…

Lawrence Holland made a spiritual sequel to SWoL called “Secret Weapons Over Normandy” and it’s a damn fine, oft overlooked WWII game in its own right.

It’s aged really well and hard copies for PS2/Xbox go for a mere fiver on eBay currently. There was a PC port, of course, but I can’t speak to how easy it is to get up…

Boswer’s Inside Story is about to break that streak.

According to King, the book was specifically written to be adapted to film by none other than Steven Spielberg. In fact, Amblin Entertainment has held the rights to it since publication. Unfortunately, Spielberg just never quite got around to making it...

Move out of the way, kids! We got a real-life, intercourse-having grown-up coming through!

No, but all jokes aside, it takes some real guts to go on the internet, proclaim your distaste for super-hero films and then brag about the one time you had sex.

Way to put yourself out there, champ.   Your courage will no doubt…

For me, the idea of paying full-price for a digital-only game on a dying system simply doesn’t make sense to me.

If it was $40 on the Switch and digital-only, maybe. If it was $20 on the 3DS and digital-only, maybe. If it was $40 on 3DS and was a physical copy, probably.

But $40 for a digital-only title on the 3DS in…

Huh.

I battled my mentor to the death in this very meadow.
