Well, would you look at that, turns out they didn’t just randomly decide to focus an entire episode on Dr. Pershing for literally no reason like a whole bunch of people were whining about. Who would have thought?

I feel bad for the horse, but PETA can, as always, shut up and fuck off.

Neigh.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who goes around making that Judge Dredd point! Welcome, fellow traveler!

Snoke’s death is one of the most wonderful moments in all of Star Wars.

I always feel like the claims of TMNT starting off as a “dark and gritty” comic series was a bit overblown. Yes, they would cut down their enemies (and killed Shredder several times), but they weren’t exactly drinking foot clan blood and shitting in decapitated heads.

Ironic that you bring that up, because it’s pretty much what happened when Sony signed an exclusivity agreement to keep all of EA’s sports games off the Dreamcast. Sega was forced to create their own NFL franchise (NFL 2k) which was arguably the best out there in the early 2000s, but was subsequently cut off at the

You and ShadeFawks are both right, Souls did not invent dodge rolling, but it’s the cross-platform megahit that popularized it to the extent that it’s a “thing” people pay attention too now. It is arguably the most significant combat mechanic in the whole series, and it’s the only reason the majority of players even

Fine by me. I skip that stuff anyway, adds nothing to the story and is always cringe.

A video game character from 15 years ago is what women are supposed to look like to those people. The impossibly smooth skin, sculpturally thin features. People are probably more familiar with the earlier Japanese incels who uses to complain about women not looking “as clean” as anime girls, or that it was so horrible

He’s not playing Bob Ross. He’s playing a character called Carl Nargle. It’s not a Bob Ross movie. 

I have been to large packed concerts, small packed concerts, and all sorts of sporting events. I can’t recall going to a metal show or baseball game and saying ‘these people stink’. I left the LA anime convention early because if I stayed any longer, I would have thrown up. The worst part is that BO is contagious, and

It makes me feel so good that the worst people in the world are so upset at all the awards this movie has gotten.

Iconic. Rarely has “mind your own fucking business” been communicated so effortlessly and effectively.  I’ve seen so many actors try to do the silent intimidating thing, and just doesn’t usually work.

As long as you don’t say “because Aloy has a beard”!

Ah Kylie, my first crush as a 6 year old when she was Charlene and wore dungerees.

The word 'censor' has really lost all meaning in the gaming world, huh. 

That’s because there was no trilogy. Seriously, that’s emerged in the years since Rise of Skywalker was such a disaster: there was no plans, no wider story arc, Rian Johnson just got handed the keys to a sequel and told to write one with no guidance (in much the same way JJ Abrams chucked the pilot of LOST at a bunch

Akrham Knight’s ending was stupid for so many reasons and made no sense. Batman gives up at the end because Robin is in Danger yet never did that when Barabara, Gordon or Nightwing were caught. Knightfall was obviously a fake out but are people really going to think the bat themed vigilante isn’t just Batman?

This. Speaking as, for better or worse, a lifetime fan of Doctor Who: if crap SFX were a barrier to telling a compelling story, it would be a smaller and sadder universe.  Worry less about pixel alignment and worry more about characters, motivations and dialogue.
