I think the key difference between this and crap like Ready Player One is that they seem to be limiting the crossovers to cartoon characters who were popular around the same time the Rescue Rangers were (or rebooted versions of them, like the Ponies.) Everything fits the movie’s theme. That sort of restraint is…

So the game is finally done, 14 months after it was released in an incomplete state. And you can pick this game up for $20 brand new now.

So basically, if you preordered this game you paid an extra $40 for the privilege of being one of CDPR’s unpaid bugtesters.

I didn’t even know they had that in the international versions of the app. It seems like a great idea. But I think Disney wants to keep the 18+ stuff on Hulu over here, so people who want everything will have to subscribe to the more expensive “Disney Bundle,” which also includes the ESPN service that no one cares…

JRR Tolkein: *Writes “Story idea: 2,000 years ago the elves fought a goblin or something?” on a cocktail napkin*

Amazon, 60 years later: We shall spend a billion dollars adapting this into five seasons of television.

Take that, Singstar!

They should put Usagi Yojimbo in there. It’s tradition!

Hulu seems like a more likely destination for them than Disney Plus, given that it’s owned by Disney and already seems to be the home of some of Marvel’s edgier shows (like Runaways and Hit-Monkey, and whatever Helstrom was supposed to be.)

I think Futurama is just going for the record for most series finales in a single show.

Wow, I can’t wait for the return of my favorite robot character, Question Mark Face.

So with these courses rolling out over the next two years, it’s probably safe to assume that we won’t be getting MK9 on the Switch. Which I’m fine with; Mario Kart 8 is ridiculously good, and just when I finally started to get tired of the course lineup, Nintendo goes and doubles it! They know what I want (except when…

Mother, just killed a man.

My poor victim’s name was Mitch. Earthbound’s on Nintendo Switch.

Of course it did. But it doesn’t have magical space wizards as its central hook. When Star Trek does some weird bullshit, it always at least tries to give something resembling a scientific answer. Meanwhile, when Star Wars tried to make the Force more scientific (midiclorians!) fans revolted. It just doesn’t fit the…

You can be a socialist and still have nice things. It’s 100% okay to have a nice car, and in fact one of the points of socialism is everyone should have access to nice things, not just an elite few.

But when you start making videos specifically just to rub your expensive possessions in everyone’s faces, possessions…

Man, people are just spoiled. Oda’s been writing and drawing this comic on a weekly basis for A QUARTER CENTURY. The dude sleeps four hours a night and works 7 days a week. That’s a grueling schedule for even a young person to keep up, and he’s almost 50 at this point. Let him take breaks, for God’s sake.

Oda has said numerous times in author’s notes and interviews that One Piece is something physical and not just an abstraction like friendship or “the journey.”

Not to mention that the various hints that we’ve heard about the nature of the treasure over the years are completely incompatible with One Piece being…

“Eternal Loser Ash Ketchum became a Champion before Luffy began being regarded as a notable pirate in his world.”

Wano is long for a reason; it’s basically the culmination of a ton of different plot threads which Oda has been building up for years and years. You can argue that maybe it’s gone on for too long, but it’s not for a lack of content. I feel like some of the earlier arcs in the second half of the series had the problem…

I am the show that the streamer refused.

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…
