This stuff is widely available in the UK as well - I was actually looking at some while shopping for lunch this morning - but known by the strangely bland name of "seafood sticks". They may as well put "soylent" in the name and let people's imaginations fully run wild on what's really in them.
I've never actually…

I'm sure lots of morbidly obese guys with double chins also have spectacularly sculpted, muscular arms.

I feel like this could finally be the thing to bring Trump down.

Heh, no. But it's the journalist at The Outline, not the AV Club that brings the attitude.

I saw a reaction vid on Youtube once that was about 45 minutes, I think (and to be clear, I didn't actually watch it, it was on the sidebar of shite) "reacting" to a teaser/announcement trailer for a video game that was three minutes at most. How much of a reaction do you need?

I think it's because a good 75% of people these days don't understand the difference between a review and a recap and think that transcribing the plot counts as the former. There's an element of that on the viewing club articles here, but it's hugely prevalent elsewhere.

I mostly agree with the article's assessment of unboxing videos and LootCrate/Nerd Block style stuff in general (I really don't understand the appeal of paying a monthly subscription for a box of random junk that may or may not align withyour interests andtastes - surely better to use the money to buy stuff you…

Pfft, only on, like, a round Earth. When you reverse 360 degrees on flat Earth, you… tumble into space or something? I don't know, it's hard to work out what nonsense these guys actually believe.

Agreed on all counts and I would totally watch the latter.

I have Amazon Prime actually, but thanks for again making dickhead assumptions. It's £79 a year and really not worth it, once you get past the few decent original series they have. But I'm probably going to renew it, just for those few series.

Yes, that's a good one! Waterstone completely nails that by doing it totally straight.

This isn't the first time they've done this actually. They had Candice Bergen and John Belushi do live promos for Polaroid in season 1 (which are on the DVDs, surprisingly).

It's not like that at all because I never said I wasn't paying for HBO. You seem to have inferred I did and leapt right onto your high horse there, but I didn't say that. What I said was the streaming sites - which I use for the odd
programme that don't get to the UK in any official way, like Match Game - use the HBO…

Well hey there, Judgey McJudgerson! As I said initially, I only use streaming sites for programmes that don't make it to the UK in any legal way - whether it be regular TV, physical media, proper streaming services or transcriptions in the newspaper. It's a tiny proportion of the media I consume and as there's no…

Weirdly, I associate the HBO sting more with the streaming site I have to use to watch certain US shows that don't make it across the pond, which uses it as a lure to get people to click affiliate ad links rather than the show they're actually looking to watch.
That… that may not be a universal take on the HBO sting, I…

"YouTube’s favorite pop-culture cooking show Binging With Babish
has produced a video showing viewers how to make their own McDonald’s
Szechuan sauce, although the host notes at the outset that he has no
idea what the actual McDonald’s goo tastes like."

“Unlike millennials, [Generation Z] is ambitious, engaged, and feel like they can change the world.”

Yeah, "padding" just used to be called "grinding" and you had to go do it of your own initiative with no real reward system for it.

I can understand fans getting so passionate about wanting a sequel, but I wish 2000AD (and the parent company Rebellion) would play it a bit cooller. Their fervent campaigning for a sequel makes them look pretty desperate and a little amateurish.
