now I need to hear "Some motherfuckers are always trying to ice-skate uphill" in David Duchovny's voice

"I woke up with a gem-mint Torchic" is the new "I woke up in a new Bugatti"

Screenshot of a tweet which reads "UPDATE: @altxyzofficial just sold the most expensive English Pokemon card of all time. You are looking at a $2,700,000 fire chicken. How's everyone feeling?" There is a photo of the card sealed in a grading sleeve showing it to be rated as a 10–gem mint condition.

The "What gave you away" section is a little strange because my hotspot was floating all around the mid-Atlantic until I got to the sneaker/tennis shoe question and then it was suddenly "OH YOU'RE FROM MARYLAND"

After learning of Sony hopping on the you-will-own-nothing train, I quickly bought PS4 disc copies of King of Fighters '98UM, 2002UM, and XIII Global Match to add to my collection of Capcom fighting games and my four Switch copies of Killer Queen Black.

Also depicted are four copies of Killer Queen Black for the Nintendo Switch.

A Drew Struzan retrospective, a Tatsuya Nakadai retrospective, and a festival of films shot and presented in CinemaScope. I'd forgotten how dangerous AFI theaters are.

Two programs of upcoming seasonal retrospectives, one on the films involving the posters of Drew Struzan and the other a selected filmography of Japanese actor Tatsuya Nakadai.

Movie poster for Violent Saturday, a 1955 crime drama shot in CinemaScope. The poster's art style evokes the cover of pulp crime magazines of the mid-20th century.

TIL that the 12'4" (3.76m) rail underpass in Durham, NC has a café that overlooks it on the corner and the café's name is "The Can Opener." This means you can get a coffee and light refreshments outside while watching overheight trucks and RVs shear their own tops off.

All game companies should take notes from Ace Combat 8 on how to gin up preorders: tie the F-14 and a copy of Belkan War to them. Well done, Bandai Namco.

Okay, hear me out [writing on whiteboard]: marionettes in the style of the SNES-era puppets so that it jibes completely thematically with 60s Thunderbirds

The cast of Starfox from its early-90s promotional material as poseable puppets.

Back in the day, this restaurant used to be a bar and this was that bar's hours of operations sign. You know a place was rowdy if there were emergency phone numbers ON the hours sign and neither one of them is 911.

It's fun pretending this is an Eve Online political map and that the BTS Army Fanfiction Community is a power bloc renting out mining rights to the neighboring Theme Park Enthusiasts. Encroachment from UK Learning Disability Nurses gank squads may destabilize the region, however.

hey everyone, check out my new light novel "Now I Gotta Be a Wingman in Another World?!" coming out never

But I was literally, actually a wingman! In fighter jets! You know, flying machines that shoot off missiles and drop bombs?”
The goddess gave me a puzzled look and sucked on a tooth before replying “Almost nothing you just said made sense to me. Anyway, it’s not that important. Now that you’re dead, I need to—”
“My job was to keep the flight lead from getting shot down!” I interrupted. “If I was escorting bombers, it was to keep the bombers from getting shot down. That’s a wingman’s main job.”
Her face lit up, a cartoonish light bulb appearing over her head. “Ohh, I get it now!” She nodded to herself approvingly. “Yeah, see, this is the same thing! You’re gonna keep people from getting shot down.” She tapped a few spots on her magical tablet, though I couldn’t see what she was doing on it.
I closed my eyes and rubbed my temples. “No, we’re still talking about different things. What the hell are you looking at on that thing, anyway? What’s it telling you about me? You said I died in a combat mission, so couldn’t I, like, spend eternity in Heaven? Or Purgatory, at least? I’d take Purgatory over—”
“Look, pal,” snapped the goddess, “I got a lot of dead people to get through who need assignment to alternate fantasy worlds, okay? Even while we’ve been talking the line’s been piling up behind you. I got a teenager who just bit it who’s gonna have to save an edgy fantasy world from an apocalypse and an office lady after him who’s bound for an idyllic, pastoral fantasy world where her job will be to care for cute talking animals. You were the greatest wingman ever, so you’re gonna be headed to a fantasy world to help people get laid. End of story.”
I held up my hands. “Wait, wait!” I cried. “Can’t I just at least—”
White light filled my vision, and next thing I knew, I was seated in a fantasy tavern. A nervous-looking elf sitting next to me was stealing longing glances at an orc woman seated at the far end of the bar.
“Well shit,” I said.
