Season 1 had, IMO, one of the most harrowing and best takes on the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic of anything else that I’ve seen. I feel like people are going to turn to that episode in the future to get a picture of what March/April 2020 were really like. Season 2, as much as I enjoyed it, was never going to…

I’m waiting for the Bang energy drink CEO to make his evil plan known.

This may seem like an overly cynical and bad-faith interpretation of what Critical Role is doing with this new campaign.

My initial read is that it comes from a place of poor sportsmanship.

It’s one of the ugliest games that I’ve played in a while, punctuated by occasional moments of beauty. The art direction of the world is pretty soulless, the textures are rubbish, and the pop-ins aren’t done artfully. Outside of certain towns, the game’s open world doesn’t have its own identity. Nothing to mark it as…

I’m still thinking it might be a cabal of pastors hoping to wrest G.O.D. control from the Gemstones. The Cycle Ninjas likely killed the journalist because the first episode pastors didn’t want to be targeted, and now they’re targeting Eli, who’s arguably the strongest “name” of the bunch, in order to ensure they don’t…

Yup. It ruled.

The Duolingo social media person would absolutely do this. Their TikTok account is wild.

Sorry, did you say “What Else Can I Do?”

This song rules.

God, yeah. Getting the Wavebird when I was a kid felt revolutionary. Wireless! Felt solid! It was great. Still have fond memories of it. 

Jesus, does becoming management in any capacity automatically make you awful? 

Heroic is usually a cake-walk for me with the other Halo games. But this one was brutal, man. Can’t imagine doing a Legendary run, even though I’ve dipped a few hours into Legendary runs on other games. The boss fights were frustrating—in an oddly satisfying way—and they finally made the Elites as scary as they felt…

Nah, not anymore. I can talk with a Republican about the weather while waiting in a check-out line at a grocery store, but I’ll be damned if I listen to them wail about politics using nonsense memes and jargon in place of actual thought. That’s where we’re at these days. I mean, shit, if I have to hear “Let’s Go,…

The Uncharted games are silly and their problems are many, and yet...and yet, I love them. They’re some of gaming’s finest adventure games. Just hours and hours of “whoa! fun!” and explosions, and...I kind of want to replay them.

Goggins is so good he made The Unicorn, a premise so corny that it shouldn’t work, into a weekly appointment viewing in my household. RIP, the unicorn.

Yeah, I get it. The Gemstone children are three adults who were so sheltered that they basically stopped maturing in their teenage years. They’re playing at adulthood and failing miserably.

that was her...dafook?

Definitely feels like it’s tied up to the whole “G.O.D.” streaming deal. That’s way too important to these folks to let someone like Eli Gemstone hold all the strings, right?
