This episode and last week’s outing seem to be sending the clear message that the people behind this show wish they were making Mandolorian season 3 instead of this.

I’m really happy to see Encanto getting this sort of recognition, since thanks to the pandemic and Disney’s weird release strategy, it’s hard to figure out how traditionally “successful” this film was. It did pretty good box office for a pandemic-era movie that was only in theaters for like two weeks, but that’s a lot…

Yeah, because eschewing a top 40 hit for a more subdued song that’s in a language most of the voters don’t even speak is totally going the “safe and predictable” route.

That’s really fascinating. I had no idea that Nintendo had such an extensive archiving policy, but it’s very impressive to hear about. To think that the source code for possibly every Nintendo-licensed title ever might be sitting in a (metaphorical) vault someplace, some of them for decades. What a treasure trove.

This site is now dedicated to Principal Skinner news and all I can say is it’s about goddamn time.

I’ve noticed that this is an obnoxiously common attitude among NFT cultists. They firmly believe that it’s impossible for someone to dislike NFT’s; anyone who thinks they dislike them just doesn’t “get” them, and so they have to explain to us poor ignorant souls why burning down a rain forest so someone can “own” a…

I don’t know who Hideo Kojima pissed off at Konami but they sure can hold a grudge. Considering that all Konami does anymore is milk its old franchises, I can’t think of any other reason why there isn’t a pricey MGS compilation on every current console.

Where are the examples of this sort of thing actually happening, though? Nine times out of ten, people side with the giant, faceless corporations, because they are always going to have better PR departments than any theoretical victim.

Also, Netflix massively fucked up with its content strategy. They had a multi-year head start over other services, and they should have used that to build up long-running shows so they’d have deep wells of long-running multi-season shows to compete with other services which would offer the same.

Instead they spent…

Gaming is exactly like masturbating. It’s most fun if you have good dexterity. The truly dedicated can do it professionally. It usually involves Mario.

DEFINITIVE LIST OF CINEMATIC UNIVERSE GIMMICK ORGANIZATIONS:

Dark Universe: Presidium

The answer isn’t THAT unclear. “We’ll honor all existing commitments,” so if there’s a contract somewhere that says this year’s CoD gets to be on PS5, then it will be. But anything that doesn’t fall under a preexisting commitment is going to be Xbox exclusive. And eventually, there will be no commitments left that…

I think we’ll see a more immediate impact from the Activision sale compared to these other studios. I mean, Bethesda taking forever to finish a new title is nothing new, so we’re probably still a few years out from when they unveil Elder Scrolls 6 as an Xbox exclusive. But Activision is basically a factory designed to…

Capitalism rewards risk-taking, you guys. That’s why CEO’s can devalue and embarrass their company their sheer corruption and incompetence, get bought out and still expect a $300 million bonus check for being fired.

Well, Peter Parker isn’t widely associated with multiverse hijinks, but Miles Morales certainly is. Comics Miles is literally from another universe and got tossed into the main comics reality when his universe blew up.

Maybe she should talk to her friend, the flying space alien with laser eyes, about how implausible her outfit is.

If it worked like an NFT, you wouldn’t buy a car, you’d buy a link to a website that tells you where the car is parked. And you would be able to go there and look at the car, but not actually drive it. And also anyone else passing by could look at it too. But they wouldn’t bother because there’s thousands of cars that…

Now I understand why Konami doesn’t make video games anymore. Why fucking bother spending years developing quality software, when some chump will spend the inheritance grandpa left him on a jpeg that anyone with photoshop can throw together in five minutes?

The Xbox One had a crappy launch and sometimes that’s all it takes to doom a system. And it really struggled in the exclusives department.

And yet I find myself playing it way more than the PS4 these days. Why? Game Pass. Still the best deal in the industry, and more than worth keeping an Xbone plugged in for. With…
