I think Twitter should've stayed down.

I got to the Thorn, which also rules, and it clicked. "This metaphor is very direct, but also extremely resonant. I wish more of this game was metaphors, rather than literal facts about this fictional world."

Update: I have since Slain more Princesses, and it turns out my beef with this game is actually a much older hill upon which I've often died. I don't like lore! I don't like that there's a textual, mechanical, in-universe explanation for how the game works. It'd be more compelling without it.

Geoff allegedly set up a program to get the marginalized for photo ops and then dumped them like a sack of bricks, refused to give free tickets for them TO GET THEIR AWARD, and then took sponsor money for the program, and pocketed it.

No, I will not be watching his dogshit awards, even to clown on.

For no reason at all, I'm looking at my log of games I played for the first time this year. I think my favorite is probably still The Silver Case, which is not a video game I would recommend to anyone.

Homestar Playing Cards and lotsa other great new crap from @fangamer.com! Check it all out here: www.fangamer.com/collections/...

Hey! He's no president! He's a giant chicken!

It's still wild to me how much we've memory holed Occupy Wallstreet.

A new scam is going around where you'll be walking down the street and there will be a big red X painted on the sidewalk.

DO NOT STAND ON THE X!!!

If you do, a grand piano will fall on your head!!! This happened to a friend of mine and his teeth were piano keys for weeks!

BE SAFE!!!

it's been said over and over how sad it is that adult animation these days trends towards "ugly on purpose," but it especially bothers me when you look at classic simpsons and it has such appealing art!!

tier list of Things That Will Never Happen

"immersive sim" is the video game genre version of djent no will not be explaining

A split diopter shot in Will Vinton's Claymation Christmas Celebration (1987), featuring one of the California Raisins in the foreground, and three hollering at him in the background, all in perfect focus

How about that split diopter shot in Will Vinton's Claymation Christmas?

Literally all of these games are old enough to vote.

The covers of Yakuza Kiwami 2, Persona 3 Reload, and Dragon Quest 1+2 HD2D Remake, with the caption "New releases."

Nintendo, do we need to talk about the meaning of "new?"

I made a joke in my main Discord server about DOOM E1M1 being in a major key and @abigbagofkeys.sickonedude.com actually made it. Jesus fucking Christ listen to this hahahaha

Lmao, I am perpetually vindicated for the opinion "the only good Metroid Prime is the first one."

TMBG.LOVE

Took the day off because I'm sick. (Sick of always missing TMBG.love while I'm at work. (But also just regular sick.))

Tomorrow the KSMU They Might be Giants music marathon begins. Request your songs now. Interviews, rarities, and a live performance probably around 5:20 central. Streaming at KMSU.org.

I'm trying not to play chicken with the train again, but my sentiment in the moment is if the breadth of complicit offenders is so staggering in scope, we can build additional gallows to handle the throughput.

10 days until new video

They should let me play Pokopia right now as an apology.

"But Booker, you liked ZA."

The Pokémon Company has a lot to apologize for.

It's been almost 50 years, and still no one has come up with a better title for a song than "There's a Moon in the Sky (Called the Moon)."

Super Mario World has an extremely eclectic art style whereby many enemies are drawn in completely different ways. Development files reveal Mario went through many stylistic changes; it is possible that all the enemies were made to fit Mario, but at different points in time.

CAPTION: My first day as a dentist ME (removing tooth): And there we go! All done. ASSISTANT: Doctor, that was a load-bearing tooth (The patient's dead explodes, scattering teeth everywhere)

True Tales of Dentistry

I should replace all of Mario's lines in the Mario movie with the noises Mario makes in Superstar Saga, and upload it to some pirate site.

The ArcSys newsletter doesn't even mention Entropy Effect X. Is this what it feels like to be a BlazBlue fan?

Signed an NDA but I don’t give a fuck anymore. I’ve been playing a secret test copy of Bloodborne II. It’s the worst game I’ve ever played in my life.
