I doubt that would even matter. But now that you bring it up, it sucks they’re not gonna have syndication rights for those new episodes either.

Disappoints me how quickly they burned out Futurama upon joyfully reclaiming it and then just left it deserted on pointless slots.

I liked it. I’m not really into mystical wizard shit, but I could see this being one of those exceptions. A bit of the humor reminds me of pre-S5 Samurai Jack. Like the random cowboy from the first episode. Primal did have more liberties to go on, but I don’t consider this a demotion. They knew they couldn’t have Spear and Fang battling forever.

What the hell do you mean a “Peter Pan Peanut Butter Alert?”

I’ve thought about replaying both IV’s campaign and Episodes From Liberty City all in chronological order. I think I’m too lazy to fully commit to such a thing. I also tried getting into Chinatown Wars/Vice City Stories but my PSP has broken down.

From what I’ve heard since this anniversary at least on the Xbox (and maybe PC) side, lots of people apparently still play. I’d play last gen GTA Online, IV’s multiplayer, and SR2 with friends all the way through 2016 before I ditched my 360. Barely even touch the Xbone at all in comparison. There was a time on XBL where no matter what game I played, I could always count on my recent players tab being filled to the brim with GTA IV. Kind of miss when that was top of the charts. I couldn’t agree more about the Trilogy. I played old school Nintendo and did the arcades, but PS2 was the first console I had to myself. San Andreas was the best of them all, with Vice City being an inch close second. Much of my uncontrollable hype for GTA V was remembering how fucking sweet the launch of SA was. I still don’t envy the ones who tried finding a good copy of that game during the Hot Coffee nonsense.

Sometimes it feels better to treat others like shit once the same has constantly happened to you. It’s a vicious cycle. I let it take over sometimes since everyone else is allowed to be a prick.

Started with my personal computer in 2002-2003. I got to use Monk-E-Mail later down the line so it wasn’t a complete loss.

If nothing ever happens, I guess I’m fine with being the only one who thought the finale wrapped everything up as nicely as possible before it got the axe. A 20 episode first season order by today’s standards might also be courteous. I don’t know. I’ve seen other shows go down for less. At least we got more Genndy stuff on the way.

Probably not.

I can get being upset at people who refuse to watch where they’re going and pay attention, but at least the ones in front of you are making an effort to keep moving. Even if it’s at a pace you might not happen to like.

I see both sides of the argument when it comes to cellphones. The technology has lead to Idiocracy, but the addiction to screens is far from anything new. I’m the last of the Bart Simpson generation. The boob tube used to be one of my largest passing times. I believe the responsible adults who know how to multitask and know when to shut things off get unfairly lumped with the dipshits that don’t. And some of the hicks that complain in public the most about everyone on their phones are just mad they’re so dull and uninteresting that no one willingly wants to talk to them. Now just the general retort on how life sucks? Yeah. It does.

Thank you kindly. Didn’t mean to lose my shit. Just one of those things that strikes a nerve.

Mail some spinach for old time sake?

And so it begins.

I have to be prepared to work a 12 hour shift all day every day. And a relative I know has had to work even more alarmingly than that amount. If you don’t have a college degree any fucking circus monkey could get if affordable, your humane conditions essentially amount to jack-shit no matter how hard you work to provide.

Fair point. More ATHF fan service + revival movies are the only major things preventing me from tapping outta the current brand, but Royal Crackers isn’t bad. I’m sure I’ll like all the other episodes whenever I get to them.

Just finished the one with the mutant chickens. Humor’s starting to pick up, but I’m still in no real rush to continue the rest of the season.

Lupin The Third Part I: rewatching “The Man They Called a Magician”

Out of left field, but I felt like rambling about it. I’d say it’s a game that got better with age. I remember when it first released, I was put off by the controls and just went back to playing San Andreas for awhile. I also favored Saints Row 2 when it came to that little rivalry. IV eventually won me over and sorta became a time capsule like SR2. Everything from clothes I used to wear, nailing down the ‘00s East Coast hip hop scene, terrorism rants, having the near final act of the game be a rebuttal to Sopranos ending. Could go on and on. In a world where regurgitating the same ol’ shit prevails, IV took its own complex turn and still expanded on all the good stuff from the GTA Trilogy at the same time. You have these aged mobsters yearning for what they had back in the Vice City days, and the most lethal fixer in town is detached from all that as he’s spent most of his life in some Yugoslavian hovel. And mind you that soft-rebooting “a franchise about killing cops and prostitutes” was never quite necessary. Aside from entertainment’s overall push to HD. I get at this point it’s an echo chamber to say it’s the most dark and gritty game or whatever, but the writing’s still insanely good. Not to slight the trilogy, because much of the appeal in the first place was having those one-note mob flick caricatures. Only IV made it so even Ray fucking Boccino had a decent set of layers in the script. As for multiplayer... fun times. The most useful feature ever was turning off the police.

Man, this guy REALLY loves graphs.
