Better luck making a musical.

Every freaking Thanksgiving I watch the parade so I can see what thing has been turned into a musical.  Read more

Oh god. Another clicker game for me to obsess over for about a couple weeks. Read more

This is so awesome!!!!! Really interesting. I’ll have to check out the book! Thanks for continuing to produce brilliant and interesting articles! Always glad to see video games play a role in fighting oppression. Read more

As long as they continue to offer the free-with-ads version, I’ll continue watching. Don’t use AdBlock on it either. Read more

This backlash is ridiculous. The software isn’t fantastic, but the catalog is constantly updated and has remained top-notch. Plus, if Crunchyroll had done nothing but keep up with inflation for the past 13 years, they would be charging $8.40/month right now. So even after the price raise, they’re still making less… Read more

Hopefully they’ll invest in their apps to make them more tolerable. The Roku apps (both crunchyroll and VRV) only seem to work half the time. So i use the Xbox apps instead but the crunchyroll app is so unintuitive i just end up using VRV, which likes to log me out all the time so i have to sign in almost every time i… Read more

The thing many people fundamentally misunderstand about addiction is that it’s compulsive reward seeking behavior. While certain substances and behaviors cause stronger (and weaker) reward response from the brain, any rewarding behavior can lead to addiction.  Read more

Upcoming hack-and-slash RPG BloodRoots is all about its verbs: “smash, slice, crush, blast, crack, slam, burst, break, split, slit, gut, tear, gash, gouge, scoop, cut, chop, dice, hash, grind,” it promises. Read more

These people need to have their IPs reported to local police agencies immediately. We all know what would happen if these individuals declared their support for ISIS on Steam.  Knock on the door by the FBI within minutes. Read more

others offer praise for his actions or refer to him as “Kebab Remover” Read more

Meanwhile THQ Nordic’s decision to host an AMA on 8chan is looking worse and worse. Read more

I had a similar experience recently. Robin was my main in Smash 4, my friends knew it was time to get serious when I picked him. Then Ultimate came out and I started playing Chrom. Read more

Apex Legends got ruined in two ways for me very quickly. Read more

Yea I sympathize with this a lot, though my rivalry is only with my sparring buddy from Sm4sh and we only play online now. I first mained inking in this game, and he complained about splat bomb (this was week one and I never even used roller but once every 2 or 3 games). So I changed. Eventually he suggested my… Read more

While I fully admit there are probably lots of hackers in Apex, some of the complaints are just straight up from bad players. They call hacks when really they just ran into a very good player. Read more

It’s called Titanfall 2 Read more

I enjoyed Apex Legends the first few days it was out. I had a chance like everyone else. Got into a game after a respite and got killed by a close-up opponent I couldn’t even see and that came inside my shield to kill me. I had my back up against a wall and only saw it appear after I was dead. Cheaters suck.  Read more

I feel your Zelda pains so hard.  Read more

I feel like nobody gets a say in who my main fighter is until I can actually beat them with somebody other than Samus. Read more

I’ve been a Luigi main since the N64 days. I've only played Ultimate a handful of times (I don't own a Switch yet) and totally felt the nerfing they have him. Still not a fan of his new grab. Read more
