i just recently learned this and it is great. Screw those $12 airport cocktails

I see two reasons why the Bureau never gets involved in the timeline shenanigans on The Flash.

I’m not so sure it could be called over protective, as being faced with the fact that outside of the top 50 Pokemon, a lot of them were never completely given rigorous thought outside of what type, what moves and the Pokedex entry. Nor how they would act outside of the anime. Pokemon’s world building has always been…

Really glad they didn’t listen to The Pokemon Company about Mr. Mime, that whole bit was hilarious.

“When he opens his mouth it’s a vacuous hole: There’s little room for a brain or anything else.”

Um...Don’t you mean the Marvel universe?

I assume the meaning is that if it’s a wild Bulbasaur, you don’t know its gender. It’s a wild animal. But when you have a known trainer who has her own Psyduck, she can tell you that this specific Psyduck is a male. It’s like when referring to a dog you see being walked, you can say “he” or “she” is very cute but if…

Hm, a quick perusal of Burger King’s website leads me to believe that the existing burgers are all still there. I wonder what shoddy locations you’re living around where the entire menu has been replaced exclusively with Impossible burgers.

Only Easter egg I recognized was how the kids’ school was “Fawcett Central”, referring to Fawcett Publications, the original publisher of the original Captain Marvel.

The biggest easter egg for me was the name of the security guard.

This isn’t Gizmodo. It’s Kotaku. Read the URL in your address bar. You’re barking up the wrong tree.

What? Seriously, what the hell are you actually talking about?

No different than baseball cards, Pokemon cards and many other products

These mechanics are specifically designed to exploit unstable/impulsive people like this guy.

This man has some clear, deep-rooted issues and death threats are obviously not the right way to deal with it, but I feel like this is only really just a symptom of a larger problem.

Loot boxes and the like very clearly play on the natural human tendency to assume that our luck will turn if we try “just once more.” For folks with gambling/addiction issues, that compulsion can be incredibly powerful.

That said, the game doesn’t force you to spend money; whether it’s a hand of cards, a round of Keno,…
