The entertainment industry has been making a hard press for VR since Oculus first got visibility back in the earlier 2010s. A big chunk of the push came not from developers of conventional entertainment software but from TV and film studio execs. It’s my belief that the intention was to find the next big gimmick in…

Ugggghhh I know that this comment appears on every article that the AV Club posts nowadays but like: why are you being snarky about this?

...it just may finally be time, in the words of Dwayne Hicks, to call game over, man.

i don’t really have a take on this but i think it’s pretty interesting that all the replies are like “we fixed enough racism this year! stop whining and wait your turn!” like we awarded some asians with an award and now everyone should shut the fuck up forever. start with yourself

I know it was a rhetorical question but besides the obvious answer (mauvaise télévision) we tend to call bad movies or tv shows “navets" which literally means “turnips” because it’s a bland vegetable.

I’m amazed it last two seasons. Been a fan of Armando Iannucci and Hugh Laurie since their earliest days on the BBC, and this was the worst show I’ve ever seen either of them involved in. Just painful to watch.

The Obvious answer is Count Fenrig, and that is the educated geeks guess, but it could really be anything, it could be someone in the court, but if its a named character, the money is on Count Fenrig.

that’s hilarious that you think the Cramps have a PR team
