Yeah I chuckled when I saw this article because Standard right now is a literal shit show and is usually the format people start in (or have no choice but to start in if you go the Arena route.) Even if they ban Oko some form of U/G (for new magic players, U is the short form for “Blue” since “B” was taken by Black)…

Ray Wise was in the show, I only bring this up because Ray Wise seems to follow me in the world of TV and I’m pretty fine with that. 

Counter point: I’d take another hour of this movie to see Rick Dalton’s escapades in Italy

Hey hey HEY!

I was going to comment “what no XO sauce” but I guess that actually would go into the “advanced guide” 

That sounds absolutely up my alley, I’ll try and seek it out 

There definitely was this sort of gold rush to see what small bands could still be snagged up, which lead to Casey Kasem having to say the words “Butthole Surfers” on national syndicated radio. Good times! 

It’s still amazing to learn years after the fact (at the time young thewayigetby didn’t really care about a bands origins) that Veruca Salt never had some journeyman story, literally some A&R guys saw them when they were starting, signed them and they became massive. Can you imagine that now? Even your garden variety…

I mean.... this was mentioned in the original meme... the original invitation said to “Naruto run” the base....

Yeah that’s an odd one

Luke warm take: From a game play design wise Sonic games aren’t the greatest. They certainly aren’t bad but it always bothered even when I was teen playing them as to why the levels are constantly designed in a manner to impede your flow on the drop of a dime and stop Sonic dead in his trakcs. Sonic’s best moment are…

> Or to put it a different way, what seems revisionist here is that all of a sudden we’re supposed to actively root for her and find her amusing without the note of pity and tragedy that made her compelling.

I need to see Rick Dalton in Italy, that is all 

> the Harley Quinn empowered sexpot vixen character is a really obnoxious replacement for damaged, domestic abuse victim Harley.

Sturgill Simpson can’t get nominated, of course Orville Peck didn’t!

Pretty much your typical low budget web only reality show with the randomest challenges that are barely related to gaming.

Exact same thing happened when Arin Hanson of Game Grumps fame (then merely a flash animator) got enough Fan votes to show up on a Sony reality show where the prize was I think you got to be a “game developer?” He just showed up and fucked shit up and was booted off at the third episode because he was pretty brazen in…

But even within your own examples there’s more than a few that are anime inspired... 

The weird thing about the 2K series is it’s trying to be a sports sim of what isn’t “real” at all. There needs to be a game focused on the Kayfabe ebb and flow of wrestling. Like repeating the same move over and over again should penalize you since it’s taking the crowd out of the match. The Old AKI games were the…

I really do like how we’re having a serious discussion about the merits of pop punk because at the time it felt like all the backlash against it came from stuffy “old head” punks that felt like they were out of touch or hated fun or probably both. PUP is amazing and they are definitely of the Pop Punk lineage, you…
