Oh I bet. They still did the theatre motif in Disneyland, right?

“Next game after Intergalactic,” so what, 2041

I did not know that Nic Cage’s Spider-Man was changed to be a clone of Spider-Man instead of being Spider-Man, and that is really funny. Yes please do a show about several clones of Spider-Man but without including Spider-Man, I love it.

Guys like Johnson will debase themselves in any way they can if it means getting the US under evangelical Christian rule.

had no idea what was about to happen, and I'm glad I was not drinking at the time

At least pretend that the reason you have an “exclusive” piece is because they came to you because you’re such a leader in the space.

Games journalism is its own worst enemy. “We have partnered with [big game developer] to bring you this coverage” kind of language is why online chuds think you’re on the take.

Basically Steve Martin's old stand-up bit where he suggests "I forgot" as a can't-miss court defense.

Ghost Rock screams when it burns, and now so do we.

oh no Doomtown TCG with the AI-generated promo art, why would you do this

Just learned they did ANOTHER epilogue episode for My Hero Academia (although only a six minute one this time.) Fine, but weird that they keep doing this.

We should not have to put up with inferiority complex BS from people who have clearly been in control of American society for my entire life, and are inconsolably upset that they lost like 5% of their hegemony over that time period.

050

A couple years ago when somebody mentioned they had never heard of the Yellowstone TV show and now with the Texas song, there’s an undercurrent of “how can you discount the tastes of True Americans” that I simply do not like.

You could Berenstain everybody that six movies just never existed.

If you hurry before Gen X dies, you could probably make an entirely new Star Wars prequel series and sequel series, and everybody would be fine until the kids just getting drivers licenses today eventually assume control and want their nostalgia back.

Big meetings five days a week to figure out how they can sell lightsabers without Skywalkers, but they can’t come up with an answer.

Easiest fix is to have the opening crawl recap the events of 9, and end it with “…BUT THAT’S NOT WHAT REALLY HAPPENED…”

020

Yeesh. So we’re probably going to get another mess, just to make sure toy sales get back to where they used to be.

000

So which way do they go: write something that attempts to fix the weirdness of episode 9, or set episode 10 so far in the future it’s basically a reset.

A bathtub full of rubber ducks. Maybe two guys sharing a used game.

Sony's history with mascot characters is very complicated.

Kind of sad that Lego is doing an Astro Bot set as the free bonus for buying the PS1 set. You couldn't get a Lego PaRappa?

When CEOs start talking about “sustainable business model,” they don’t mean sustainable for employees, they mean sustainable for themselves.

No I am not engaging with the Job Interview Decorum Thoughts of some dork who spends most of his timeline reposting stuff with a pointing-down-finger emoji.

Today is the one-year anniversary of the release of Unfair Flips!!! The game is not on sale today because I forgot. But also it's $1.99 anyways so a sale is mostly in the mind store.steampowered.com/app/3925760/...

A non-idle clicker game about flipping a coin that hates you. Starting with just a 20% chance of getting heads, can you get ten heads in a row?

Over the decades, IGN has one heck of a terrible hit rate when it comes to minting “personality” name brand writer/creators. For every decent person you get like three complete doofus grifters whose brand is a photo of them yelling at the camera.

It is. All that’s left is deciding which executives get a bonus.

I wish Jensen Huang would forget where he put that jacket.

Interestingly, those catalog shots (2025 catalog?) are much more cartoony renders than the images in this year’s catalog.

also the dog smells like AI

Walmart’s holiday toy catalog has no Xbox anything in it.

The only spread in the 2026 Walmart toy catalog with video games in it. The left page is all Nintendo Switch 2, and the right page is divided into four sections: Nex Playground, PS5, Meta Quest, and a chair. No prices are listed for anything.

Ten years is long enough for it to go away and have a nostalgia revival happen, like we get with Atari every so often.

I had somebody DM me about that after I posted one of those, and then that person ended up being some kind of weird gamer pretending to be an insider for clout.

John Goodman pulling a bomber jacket out of the closet. “Ok fine whatever”

jeez, they’re even making peanuts out of plants these days

Close up of a can of peanuts with “plant-based protein” on it.

Get ready for the return of the Two Launchpads debate.

I think he’s actually responsible for those seven minutes.

It’s weird seeing that kind of work and then seeing the writers’ LinkedIn profiles all “Proud to be on this team! Very focused on my craft!”

The only career move here is just pure networking.

So if you’re writing for a Valnet site, do you use a fake name? I can’t imagine it’s a resume builder. “Made people mad, created uninteresting tonnage of articles, never had an editor”

He also did pratfalls *extremely* well.

This would have been at least twenty minutes on the podcast.

One of the best replies I’ve ever seen in a BGG thread was in response to a guy who had been going off about rulebook interpretations across several threads and somebody finally said “I’ve noticed you’ve been very aggressive and dense about this, maybe it’s not the board game for you.”
