Well, everyone in Pokemon seems to only be working half-heartedly. I always liked how casual life seems to be in Pokemon. Non-trainers have jobs, but no one really takes work seriously and everyone has spare time for talking to ten-year-olds. Though unfortunately the lackadaisical attitudes apply to whoever is

I wonder if the Elite Four ever get bribed to throw fights to help Magikarps level up? Sitting in a lavishly-decorated room waiting for losers to show up doesn't pay for itself, and they probably have massive liability insurance costs due to the medical bills of the trainers who doubtlessly get seriously injured from

I recently played through Dishonored for the 'no upgraded powers' and 'kill with every weapon' achievements and I ended up reloading over and over to pull off a particular no-alert grenade kill. Just because the idea of blowing up an overseer and his dog by beaning him with a sticky grenade from a chandelier above and

I think watching other people playing games is popular because most of our childhood memories of video games consist of us watching the screen waiting for our sibling/friend/cousin to hand over the controller (they never did), or watching the demo screen on an arcade cabinet and wishing we had more quarters.

We Used To Make Things In This C**try

As well-regarded as the actors are, the casting was a warning sign that the movie was not going to use them well. It basically read as if the studio wanted to grab rising young stars at random and lock them into multi-film contracts just as their careers were taking off and they're still affordable, like how X-Men

Well, there's always the alternative podcast, Me 2 I'm Talkin' U2 2 U with Andy Daly.

Wasn't Iron Man, like, completely ad-libbed by the actors?

Black and White have an obligatory 'dreary video game swamp level' and it's literally just the New Jersey Meadowlands. 10/10 for accuracy.

There are many more gaming sites that are paying grown men to write articles about Pokemon that don't even try to evaluate the economics therein. I'd say that's more depressing.

That would really discourage participation in games with four or five players, though.

Mathematically speaking, Russian Roulette is only significant to 1 in 6 people, so it doesn't quite reach 'average'.

I never wanted a generic fantasy film in the first place.

But I thought south Detroit only existed in Journey songs?

I can deal with supernatural and omnipotent characters doing their thing if they act like characters. God does so, until he doesn't. It seems like he's benevolent but distant, 'mysterious ways'-ish, and wants to help both sides survive their conflict and break the cycle. His goal clearly is not the opposite, to

"God doesn't need to try to resolve anything. Because He's an
all-knowing, all-capable being that exists outside of time and space.
Everything is already resolved to His satisfaction."

Because apparently the point of the whole show was God trying to resolve the cycle, and yet nothing lasting is brought to our Earth except some genetic material and the names of the Greek gods, so everything learned is forgotten. The angels in the last scene are stumped as to what God even accomplished and think there

But that's not consistent with the religious concept of angels nor what we see from other supposed angels on the show. It's just a character dying and coming back for no reason.
