I blame Funko Pops and the inexplicable popularity of Ready Player One.   Read more

This feels like a particular issue with Warner Bro.s, who have a habit of throwing ip at the wall/smashing it together with no real grasp of what makes their individual properties special. Read more

I was a 90s kid. When shaggy punched bugs bunny it felt like i got punched by corporate America. Fuck this whole thing so hard. Read more

Sometimes writers need to dig deep into their big bag of language to come up with the perfect polished phrase to express a guttural/emotional idea, and sometimes words like “cheap and shitty” convey exactly what was needed with poetic simplicity. Thank you, Zack. It all does feel more than a bit cheap and shitty, all… Read more

The selection is like when I’d go to hollywood video after working late on a friday and all the cool stuff had already been rented out. Read more

Just to note, GameFly runs sales quite often where you can outright buy their excess copies of games that don’t see as much circulation as before. The cool thing is that they keep all the casing, pamphlets, codes, etc. locked away, so you get them when buying said used game.

Better yet, in their Buy section under Old Consoles (rude), there’s a single GBA game - World Poker Tour. Read more

“...As a younger teen, GameFly was awesome. I had very little money and lots of time to play games. With the service, which lets you rent games via the mail for a monthly fee...” Read more

Fun Fact: In the escape pod control room during the first level in Episode IV, there are screens that appear to show a technical readout for the escape pod, but if you transliterate the Aurebesh you’ll find that the seemingly random stats on it are actually for the number of pieces, age group, etc., because it’s actual… Read more

I have almost exclusively played this game since it came out. It is huge. Also, I only have time here and there and it is easy to drop in and out. Read more

I remember people lauding the fact that those movies treated the minifigures (and everything else) like real toys, i.e., they could only bend in ways that made sense and had slight damages to their exteriors.

So it just says not to play at all right? It says this is unfair and we’re sorry for shilling this for $60? It says here’s your money back put it towards a console that can run this natively? :v Read more

Absolutely disgraceful. If someone is Anti Choice now is the time to hound them, question them publically, humiliate them. Do anything necessary to save your rights. Read more

Sci-fi Horror Masterpiece is exactly the right way to describe Prey. My favorite Arkane game and probably the closest we are gonna get in the near future to what a true sequel to System Shock 2 would be like.  Read more

PLAY. THIS. GAME. Read more

There is a 95% chance I will buy this game purely because of the cat. Read more

Had my own cartridge back in the day with a couple dogs, one I really liked though was this Miniature Pincher I (creatively) named Lucky. My parents saw this and actually went out and adopted a Miniature Pincher, whom we named Lucky of course. Read more
