The Gilbert Gottfried punchline was a nice payoff.

I love the scene where Bettany is performing surgery and points out the patient’s brains to the inquisitive crew.

Looks like we’ve got a new challenger for Education Secretary.

At the risk of sounding hipster for jumping on the “no more Jedi” bandwagon, I’d like something along the lines of the player character building/running a crime syndicate or smuggling operation during the Old Republic or the new High Republic era, interacting with other criminal groups AND having to elude the…

No wonder these tribes don’t want to be found. They probably think the planet is filled with superpowered orphans.

God help this man’s friends and family if he ever tries to order a pizza.

- Larry offends (insert untouchable charity/nonprofit) and goes viral with mute mishap during Zoom call.

The gigantic eye they got to play Sauron’s gigantic eye is so one-dimensional. Get some range, gigantic eye...

This is why you check your sideview mirror before leaving the car.

I’ve seen some YT videos showing X1X gameplay (so take thart for what’s it worth, but seem to be legit people) that suggest the game looks pretty good on what I guess we now call “medium” consoles. I can imagine it’ll make my 1X sound like a jet engine, a la Modern Warfare last year, but I wouldn’t expect the enormous…

I like your thinking on how you approach the story/side content balance. I try to do the same. The new AC is a good example and somewhat helps with this, because the sagas/arcs of each region are relatively self-contained, giving you nice break points. There are some exceptions to the rule so far — and a slog is…

Not trying to challenge you on this here, so please don’t take it as such.

I think what he’s getting at is “toxic” seems to be describing “console war tribalism,” so we wouldn’t need a comma there. Maybe the headline was supposed to say “toxicity.” That would make it read a lot better.

It was a similar tale about an unqualified bum who made it big and hasn’t shut up since.

Seems like the type of thing they’s be able to add in with an update — and one would hope they do.

That “There’s Something About Mary” clip is a good reminder we need more Keith David in comedies. An Odd Couple situation with Keith David would work. Sprinkle in cameos from Larry David.

Just clarifying this bit: William and Laurel were in Pittsburgh. Recall that’s where Jack/Becca and Big 3 all lived growing up. So as you point out above, he’s fleeing, but probably across the state and never going back. Maybe Laurel is alive in some nursing home in Pittsburgh -- and I literally just thought of the…

Season 3 of Cobra Kai is really turning the story on its head.

Interestingly, (the underrated but frequently underwhelming) DaVinci’s Demons was already AC-adjacent in at least one or two story threads, but I’d still like to see the Ezio arc adapted.

Or one of the characters uses it to relive his life as Michael Bolton (who, yes, is very much alive).
