Suppose I’ll choose to do neither. Jar Jar’s animation does still look pretty good, insofar as he is an animated character who moves somewhat believably (those ear flaps of his, not so much). But besides the bluescreen backgrounds, he’s the ultimate reminder that what I’m looking at isn’t remotely real. The most… Read more

Hm. I suppose when I read “some good things about Episode I” I was thinking in terms of like, redemptive traits. Things that made it a decent movie. I mean, yes, if you want to talk about things that were technically well-executed or even technologically bold and brave, yeah, it was very ahead of its time. But it was… Read more

Goodness. I didn’t think it was hilarious. Just trying to make conversation. Also, I’m no fan of droidekas. The whole “we used to have super advanced tech but a couple decades in the future our droids are all trash cans or stiff humanoid butler-types” thing bugs me too much. Read more

Fair, fair. Read more

Eh. I’m in the camp of people who think the lightsaber fights were better when they were simpler in the originals. All the flips and twirls and turn-taking and wall-jumping and wacky-sabers and quadruple-wielding makes it all feel more hollow to me. Read more

.......You win this round. Read more

Hollow Knight’s standard price is $15 and I’m not over-stating when I say I got as much enjoyment out of it, if not more, than plenty of $60 games. It’s The Little Indie Game That Could. It’s a piece of artwork, and a heartfelt, tough-as-nails game to boot. If I ever win the lottery and suddenly become worth millions… Read more

Get Hollow Knight. Read more

Mario Odyssey and Destiny 2 PC, if I’ve got time. I was working on a second run of Hollow Knight before those came out. Picked up Samus Retrns after my first HK run but found it pretty unsatisfying by comparison and wound up putting it down. Read more

Honestly, Azurik: Rise of Perathia. I know it was a shit game among a shitty launch, but my divorced parents pooled their money together one year to get me an xbox because it was like, the only thing I wanted, and my father, well-meaning but totally clueless about games, just grabbed one off the shelf to go with the… Read more

I think...how do I say this? First of all, I like Duckman, and I love The Simpsons. I’m in the sub-sub-assholes-sub-camp that thinks season 8 was the last great season, but I watched religiously until maybe Season 14, so definitely I can see where you’re at when you say the first 10. Read more

I always found it miraculous that any show could be as funny as Rick and Morty and also manage to be super thoughtful or expose genuine aspects of the human experience at the same time…I’ve never been disappointed with it, and it’s not because I’m mindless in my fandom, but rather because I think its lowest moments… Read more

I didn’t say it was “way worse”. Or even “worse”. I absolutely think they get heat from their fans, that was kind of the point I was trying to make...I just think that in a giant stadium they’re able to go out and concentrate on their doing as opposed to Zero who’s walking around hotel hallways with no security where… Read more

I wonder if it wouldn’t be this way if eSports were more like real sports, with great arenas that don’t offer the public a chance to get anywhere near the talent. Like, doubtless somebody would tell Your Favorite Football Player to go kill himself if they were allowed to follow him around before the game. If the… Read more

Still waiting on Hollow Knight. I’m about to beat it for the second time on PC. But I’d happily buy it again to both take it on the go AND have it all big and beautiful on my TV. Read more

Yes. Budokai 3 is the right answer. Read more

I’ll try to keep an open mind when it comes out but I still think it should’ve been an anthology series. Season 1 had the mysteries, the reveals, the triumphs, the tragic losses and the final creepy gut punch to be an incredible one and done story, and from the moment they announced this would be a direct sequel I’ve… Read more

I tried finally playing that earlier this year but for the life of me I couldn’t get it running on my PC. Read more

Big Mouth was at its second day on Netflix when I popped said service open, saw it and clicked for a lark. I don’t often have an open mind so I was like, “hey, puberty, let’s have a look, I like cartoons.” And I loved it. Read more
