  1. I fuck up and click on other people's accounts when I need to open a new tab but am too lazy to drag the cursor to the top right.
  2. This and “Do You Love Your Mom and Her Two-Hit Multi- Target Attacks?” are reasons why I’m far more excited to watch the Summer 2019 lineup.
  3. Dororo, Kimetsu no Yaiba, and Sarazanmai don’t have either of the three
  4. Do you think Starbucks told her "Thank U, Next"?
  5. You wouldn’t download a car
  6. The only Monopoly that matters
  7. Dropping the name “Martha” around Batman without context.
  8. Sounds like the premise of Travis Strikes Again, but with backwoods Texas instead of backwoods Canada. I'd get it for the Shinobu DLC, but it is mostly indie-inspired minigames so I'm waiting for a sale. But on the topic of the live-action Akira, it's had such a long, tumultuous history that's probably rougher than the Cowboy Bebop adaptation that Keanu Reeves was initially on-board with. I think the only constant is Leonardo DiCaprio really wanting this to be made, but it's been in development hell for so long that so many different names have been thrown around on the project. Here are some articles du jour for some fun reading, but the first is a more cohesive overview. The second has that irresistible image of Travis' concept art. The third is the script rundown from Cracked back when they sifted through the initial Travis script. https://www.ign.com/articles/2017/04/06/akira-the-tortured-history-of-the-unmade-live-action-adaptation https://www.slashfilm.com/akira-concept-art-imagines-chris-evans-and-joseph-gordon-levitt-in-an-american-adaptation/ https://www.cracked.com/blog/the-actual-live-action-akira-script-worse-than-you-think/
  9. Even users that don't have too much screen presence?
  10. Some people just really like to do gross shit. EDIT: I'd make an exception for ranch that has something mixed in like buffalo, BBQ, or hot sauce, but straight up salad dressing ranch sounds miserable.
  11. If there's anything looking at the nutrition facts of popular restaurants can teach a person, it's how junk food might actually be better for you than salads.
  12. I’m glad that the legend of Travis and Canada is getting closer and closer to reality.
  13. Joker and all the content he comes with was already enough for me to throw down on his DLC, but I also can't wait to tinker around with the new Stage Builder. I remember making so many Brawl stages when it first came out that it'll be awesome to see how creative the options get this time around.
  14. RIP Monkey Punch. Always did enjoy the heists and misadventures he made of Lupin and the crew.
  15. Got Resident Evil 6 a week or so ago. I mainly got it for Mercenaries mode but it's been good for tiding me over before I throw down on the RE2 remake. I remember people saying it was ass, but my only complaint so far is its length. These chapters are too long for the ridiculous story they're telling and starting out with the Ada story to unlock her in multiplayer was rough because they kept throwing in QTEs and poorly designed chase sequences everywhere. I'm on Chapter 3 of Leon's story now and it feels like I've been following an aimless path for ages. It sucks too because I am having a lot of fun with the combat when they give me enough bullets to work with. With Joker in Smash, I'll definitely be playing more of Ultimate within the next couple weeks.
  16. I saw the trailer a while ago, and the Superman comparison feels like a gimmick to hide its similarities with other supernatural horror stories. Like if Carrie wasn’t bullied all her life and was raised by Ma and Pa Kent, she’d be using her powers like a superhero too. Same thing with a lot of horror movies where a kid is fucking people up with telekinesis or pyrokinesis. It cheapens the deal for this movie when the only thing that separates it from these “child from hell” movies is that there’s laser sight and frozen breath instead of mind powers.
  17. "Hey buddy, I think you got the wrong door. The leather club's two blocks down." - His opponent
  18. The fire is out now, but they are down one priest after he lost a fight against the bell-ringer.
  19. He's been so caught up in running faster that he didn't notice his body was moving faster too.
  20. I've been thinking about this lately, but I think Mortal Kombat has to have some of my favorite fantasy elements. Where because it's inspired by a lot of Hong Kong actions movies and East Asian mythology, you get a ton of lore based on mythical deities that rule over several layers of existence from etherial plains to Earth to the underworld as they get into repeated slap-fights with one another over interdimensional conquest under the guise of martial arts tournaments. With its comic book-like take on such stories, you have a cast full of elder gods, Shaolin monks, elemental ninjas, and skilled practitioners in a wide array of martial arts mixed in with the Western-inspired spies, mercenaries, Hollywood actors, and horror movie monsters. It's a mishmash of everything that was seen as awesome for an action movie nerd in 1992, and I couldn't thank Mortal Kombat enough for giving us the universe it has that is often defined by the ultraviolence and moral panic it provided at the time of its initial popularity.
  21. Asobi Asobase Zombieland Saga Yuru Camp
