If he voiced a popular Looney Toon, it would be anti-Yosemite-Sam-semi-Semitism!

What, like people actually know stuff about those books?

Netflix streams the episodes one frame per hour for six hundred years.

It's the pits when they do, though.

Camera pans slowly over photo of WWI trenches taken with a selfie stick and B&W filter.

Excuse me, but John Hodgman would not describe The Return of the King as a novel. The Lord of the Rings is a novel, The Return of the King is its third volume.

They were always basically linear but the earlier games had a more haphazard design that made it less obvious. In Black and White it's literally "Move to new area, find there's only one way that isn't temporarily blocked, solve plot problem, beat Gym Leader, get alerted to new plot event the instant you leave the gym"
