Here’s a fun thought experiment: imagine what would happen to Jimmy O. Yang if he supported a Chinese Counter Terror, Defense & Security Training Academy. Or Shohreh Agdashloo if she supported an Iranian one. 

Finally!

When are you gonna do the 25 essential TISM songs?

And what’s wrong with mashups, anyway?

Now that’s podracing. 

Fair point, but I’d also say that just adds to the cosplay of it all. “See? We’re in California? You know, California! Ground zero for artists and hippies and creativity and that sweet Laurel Canyon sound! So, ergo, we must be just like that, right? After all, we wouldn’t be in a place like that if we weren’t like…

Jesse Hassenger’s back, baby! He’s really one of the guys I wanted to see return here. Dude doesn’t do clickbait, he’s sincere, and has some deep, decent pop-cultural chops.

Heavy on the Ds? I got a Sydney Sweeney notification for this?

You know the AVC’s official policy: pop culture didn’t exist before 2009.

Honestly, it’s my big problem with miniseries. You know the whole “This meeting could’ve been an email”? Yeah. I find myself going “This miniseries could’ve been a movie”.

JESSE’S BACK! Wooo! I remember having a great time chatting with you under an old account!

I hope you enjoyed it as the creator intended: with a gallon of PCP. 

Especially Star Trek.

Australia continues to fuck up its Eurovision entry, on a cosmic scale. TISM got back together, and instead we put up some fucking techno duo absolutely no one has heard about or cares about, and we rightfully got the arse in the first round.

I’d have to disagree - it was still a pretty mediocre game, lockdown or no.

We already have that.

Not to mention they’d just bought ActiBlizz, and even though COD shits money, it won’t shit enough money to make back the purchase cost for a while.

One of the many scummy aspects about this whole deal is the fact that MS didn’t even mention Prey in its media releases around Arkane Austin. They just, of course, constantly mentioned Redfall, because, of course, that’s all that matters to MS and at least their comms team recognises the minefield of acknowledge Prey..…

It’s what happens, I think, when corps get too big - those making the decisions are too far away from the shit the company actually does, unable to understand what actually happens, or needs to happen, on the shop floor. Or at least that’s part of the reason.

...ok...
