I watched every episode of this stupid, stupid show.  What I remember the most all these years later was how utterly charisma-less Joe was and how NOT into him the winner, Zora, seemed to be.  They really didn’t give a shit about each other but hey, somebody has to win.  The butler did rule, though.  He should have…

Stone’s explanation was that they told her to remove her panties because “the white is reflecting the light”. I think there are reasons to be skeptical of Stone’s version of the story - it just seems so odd that she’d be unaware of it when the leg-uncrossing is the focal point of the whole scene. That doesn’t mean…

I’m amazed at the retro video game market. As someone who remembers flipping through huge bins of $5 NES cartridges at Funcoland, I can’t believe what they go for today.

“Anyone can put out a hit” is most certainly NOT how the music industry works

I think the collectors’ market is silly too - made-up value assigned to things that have very little intrinsic value other than what a bunch of nerds decide.  I just don’t think the guy was being disrespectful to the artist.

It’s because some people - often people who spend a lot of time on social media - just love to get worked up over anything and everything. The guy doesn’t sound like an asshole at all, he sounds like a man who is a professional card collector and is very attuned to what does and doesn’t add value to collectibles. Was…

If Square ever did a full-blown AAA sequel to FFVI in the Octopath Traveler art style... I think it would be pretty huge

I will never stop being delighted by stories about esports pros missing crucial events because they were asleep

Sam was on the cover of Sports Illustrated! But yes, others have laid out the key difference, which is that Nassib is an active and established player while Sam was a college star but never made a 53-man NFL roster.

Wohl staged a press conference with some himbo-type actor who claimed to have had a passionate and intensely sexual relationship with ElizabethWarren, described in graphic detail. Honestly, I can’t rule out that Wohl is some kind of Andy Kauffman-esque troll. Like, Project Veritas might be stupid, but I can at least…

The thing about Project Veritas is that their bar for success is extremely low. Beyond the wildly successful ACORN sting (I mean, it was faked bullshit but it was certainly a success on their end) most of their stunts barely even *attempt* to accomplish anything other than revealing ‘media bias’. They once embedded a…

We got him, guys!  Zinged him good!

“I can’t buy the new Spice Girls album on cassette because it’s sold out” doesn’t feel like a very 2021 sentence and yet here we are

I feel like this was actually a very 90's thing to do.

I think we can safely assume all this to be true, especially the part about this new cartoon retroactively destroying a different cartoon.

Truly his greatest crime of all was not interviewing Pete Buttigieg

More on the win-trading accusation:

The AV Club spent the first day of Pride Month going after LGBTQ icon Morrissey

 It wasn’t, but it sure as hell is now. Since launching WoW Classic they’ve done the Warcraft 3 remaster and are working on the Diablo II remaster, as well as launching Hearthstone Classic Mode and releasing the Blizzard Arcade Collection.

I remember Squirrel Nut Zippers as being one of the bands that kicked off that mini-revival (along with the Old Navy ad that used ‘Jump, Jive & Wail) but they got leapfrogged by the other revivalist acts that were more into cosplaying as 30's gangsters. SQZ were more of an oddball music collective than anything else.…
