Yes, let me just edit that so you look silly and not me!

Counter-example for having "Normal person in strange situation" as American:
Arthur Dent.
Actually I think a lot of Brit humour comes from strange situations being treated as though they were mundane. Though of course this will not apply to every British comedy, and not be absent from every American one.

I remember reading an interview with Peter Capaldi EDIT: Armando Ianucci /EDIT where he said that creating Veep was different from The Thick Of It because he felt like the position of Vice President was required to be beyond reproach, so the focus would have to be on the flaws of the person running for it. Wheras in…

If the episodes were to be ranked by number of Marx Brothers references, this one may well come top of the list.

I kinda liked those, because you didn't have to have them shoved in your face the whole time to use them. You could also transfer caught Pokemon from any Pokewalker to any game, and gift yourself or your friend high level rare Pokemon that still obeyed your commands as soon as you got access to the first Pokemon…

I think we lose "our" Wimbledon wins if Scotland splits from Britain. I bet the Leave voters would secretly be sad about that.

Was the Pokemon seizure incident mentioned here before? Cause I think it was here that I read that after the initial incident, many more seizures happened when the news in Japan reported on the incident and used the original footage without altering it in any way, which I feel like it the stupidest part of the whole…

Here, have a 10000 word article on the ancient Egyptian game of Senet:

I have a bunch of streamers I watch, but since I now have a job, I don't watch so much anymore.
They are in the categories "speedrunner" and "Monster Hunter player".
GamesDoneQuick is obviously what I am most likely to go out of the way to watch.
For speedrunners, there are loads, but usually if PJ, Yagamoth, Romscout,…

Well, not sure about Squarecells, I don't think I'll play that again. But Hexcells Plus and Infinite I can repeat over and over quite happily.

First things first: Summer Games Done Quick is still going, there is still lots of awesome stuff left before the end! Caught most of the Tetris block (ha!) last night, that was pretty fun, but I certainly think their decision to have a break from GDQs for a while is a good one. I don't think anything can replicate the…

Does the game follow up on that odd bit at the very end of VLR where
< SPOILERS >
a sorta Blickwinkel (from Ever17) thing happens. Yep, I'm still trying to be vague. Shinigami Apple Merchant knows what I'm talking about though right? ;p
< END SPOILERS >
Anyway, I feel bad for asking, I have a problem with scary/gory stuff…

Arrgh, back to the days of late releases in Europe for this! I mean I could just grab an .apk online, but I'm super paranoid about it being something shady instead… also yeah, I guess the locations are randomly generated or something, there's been lots of reports about them being in some weird places.

Ah, I was looking into Hadean Lands. RPS has a new column about IF that focused on it, so I'm thinking of giving it a go. It's the game with the "certificate" DLC which is meant to hold you to a promise not to look up the answers. I think I can hold myself to that promise, it'll be difficult, but knowing there's a…

Sure, I'm happy that I no longer have to keep switching which Pokemon holds the item. But I feel like it really is an easy mode button. Like they should adjust the ratios a bit - the lead Pokemon gets 75% exp, the rest get 40%. I feel like being automatically massively overlevelled just because you fight every trainer…

Is that right? I thought as long as you didn't take the powerup you were fine.

I don't really use cheats in video games, but I will go straight to a guide if I get stuck in an adventure game, or can't figure out where all the heart pieces are or whatever. I also play the 6th Gen Pokemon games with Exp Share on, which is basically cheating since you just steamroller everything. But I guess I'd…

I would suggest Tatami Galaxy is another anime which people in this thread could have a go at watching. It's another anime which is very idiosyncratic and doesn't follow the common tropes and visuals of most anime.
Fair warning though, there's a lot of subtitles and no dubbed version, so maybe not if you don't like…

Absolutely - there's always discussions, when documentary media is made showing people suffering - could the documenter have directly helped them, or is it more valuable that they brought attention to their plight. In this case, the documenter may even have endangered lives. One the one hand, maybe it was a bad idea…

Since there appears to be no Keyboard Geniuses this week, well I doubt many people will be coming back to this thread, but anyway:
Summer Games Done Quick begins this Sunday! So tune in, and most importantly donate! All the money goes to Doctors Without Borders, which is a great charity.

Anyway…
