...used by incredibly shitty guys in a pathetic attempt to belittle something that they irrationally fear and don't understand. I used to say that anyone who tried to seriously and unironically use the term "social justice warrior" in their "argument" immediately and automatically lost whatever "debate" they were trying to have ( Read more... )

Yeah, I read through Problem Sleuth the other day.

(For those who may not understand the operators, the statement I'm making is " Irredeemably Toxic Shithole is to ( Read more... )

As of today, on its seven year anniversary, Homestuck has come to an end.

All I'm going to say about it is that if you haven't read/watched/listened to/played this webcomic/video game/anime Internet thingy yet, go do that, from the beginning. If you've already done all that, well, go do it again. That's what I plan to do ( Read more... )

Similar to what I did with the Michael Bay TMNT movie, I have opted to read/watch reviews of Batman v Superman instead of seeing the movie myself.

So yeah.

"A somewhat-mostly-accurate educational parody film by Max Landis, Produced by Bryan Basham @bryan_basham
Starring Elden Henson, Elijah Wood, Mandy Moore, Morgan Krantz and many more."

Yeah, that's pretty much how that Death and Return of Superman thing went, as far as I can remember of reading the whole thing myself, years ago ( Read more... )

The only real problem with this comic is that instead of being depicted as a monk, the dev would, in too many cases, be more accurately depicted as a second, bigger scorpion (which is itself riding on the shoulder of what we shall call a "typical video game consumer," depicted in this scenario by Lennie Small, or perhaps Hodor).

Imagine if The Oatmeal became terrible and was written by a fundamentalist Christian without an ounce of subtlety. http://t.co/ijI3JAuJii

Yeah, this bullshit is indeed pretty disgusting, and a flagrant ripoff of the style of The Oatmeal, which I've linked to before. (Though the fact that this thing ( Read more... )

Yeah, I'd heard about this a few days ago on NPR, and I'd meant to write a post about it back then, but I never got around to it. The gist of what that post would have been: it's kind of... well... really fucking weird to think about Sesame Street moving to HBO from PBS as a 9-month timed exclusive. I mean, yeah, it'll still be on PBS and all ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I was reading some recent tweets by Dan Shive, the creator of El Goonish Shive, concerning the new King's Quest game. At first, he was simply praising the game (starting around here), but later on, he began to rant (starting around here) about the fact that people were apparently telling him on Twitter not to support the new King's ( Read more... )

Maybe I'm just weird, but a Star Trek/Green Lantern crossover just doesn't interest me all that much. Maybe because it's the reboot Trek universe with Pine-Kirk rather than the Prime universe with Shatner-Kirk? I don't really have a problem with the reboot movies, aside from them being way too action-y for my tastes, but still... Or maybe it's ( Read more... )
