He’s such a Chicago Pope that he’s even channeling Michael Mann cinema energy

Happy Return of the Living Dead day to all who celebrate

Oh, not hardly. It was really around the Bandcamp mess that I went from "I don't like this guy" to "I have intensely ill and inadvisable to verbalize feelings toward his mere continued presence in this industry", but I think it's good to acknowledge it out loud every once in a while. For my health.

I've really had just about enough of this dude.

Patreon putting our logo on a billboard is continuing to pay unexpected dividends. Like getting the inadvertent Tim Heidecker boost.

people always ask this guy if the Minions could have worked for Hitler, but no one ever asks if the Minions would have worked for Hitler.

Immortal life advice

were up to me I probably wouldn't eliminate physical media for my forthcoming console right on the heels of delisting hundreds of digital movies from people's libraries and while on the cusp of a world historical digital storage supply squeeze, but I guess that's why they get paid the big bucks.

You couldn't make Blazing Saddles today. It's already 4PM and you haven't even started.

we found a Cursed Object on the way back from brunch

mixed feelings about that shelved Deftones record finally leaking. I respect not wanting incomplete work out there, especially work that was halted under such tragic circumstances. but there is something potent about hearing the last thing Chi ever contributed to. there is value in preserving that.

“my passion is graphic design”

Patreon said they were gonna put us up in Times Square and it's perfect. Nextlander - We might not be the loudest and in your face, but we've always been there... right outside of your window. (Thanks again for all the support AND to those who have shared various clips of this!)

no, it's...something else.

my new full-time hobby is putting the world's most important video tapes in Retro Rewind

live your life in such a way that Isaac Choitner never feels the need to reach out to you in order to clarify some of your thoughts or positions.

Gargoyles is legit a “You can’t make em like this anymore” show. A bunch of classically trained actors getting Disney to lusciously animate their horny high fantasy Shakespeare fanfic that they made during their off time from making Star Trek. And it was a huge hit somehow?

Nintendo was on one back in '85 huh

only city in the world

Posting this for a specific audience here.

it is also insanely funny that as soon as the Wu-Tang Clan showed up the whole temperature of the game changed. vibes are real, and they're powerful. Wu-Tang Forever.

I do enjoy seeing Larry David experiencing joy like it's the first time the concept has ever occurred to him, but I agree. alas, this is the current drive of all modern sports broadcasts.

good old predictable basketball. everything happening just like you think it will. soothing in that way.

would anyone like to discuss mlb regular season standings

Fully had this poster on my bedroom wall for a couple of years. I would wake up every morning to the sight of smooth, emotionless Hard Man doing whatever he is doing there.

If this isn’t my game of the decade so far, it’s real damn close.

Usually when you climb a mountain they say you can’t climb, you’re the one who dies, not random kids.

When you visit LA, especially if you’ve got a spot with any kind of view of the city, I believe you should spend at least a few minutes each day doing a Michael Mann protagonist pose in that spot while contemplating…whatever. Doesn’t matter. Just worry about the pose and the lighting.

I found their nest

new William Gibson book opening line dropped

Turns out Giant Bomb couches are way less stressful when you don’t have to book them yourself. Who knew?

Tonights Featured Guests! Tune in at 6pm PT for GB @ Nite Day 2!

I made a friend.

Catching up on the SGF stream and I can understand why I saw no chatter about it considering some of the other shit in this conference, but I nearly choked on my weed vape when Guild Wars 3 popped up.

I get on a plane for six hours and emerge to find Tupac’s corpse dancing in a Sega game. I can’t leave this industry alone for one fucking second.

One crank opinion I’ve held for many years now is that if a sports team moves outside of the state/city they’re ostensibly representing, they should have to rename themselves. You’re the Hammond Bears now.

had never seen this one and it's killing me

discovered Kane Parsons is from my hometown and now I need him to make a horror movie about Petaluma. I don't know what it would be, the town's not that scary, but I nonetheless would appreciate him taking a crack at it.

oh where or where will I be able to get a $25 drink while having a conversation I can hear no more than one sixth of over the din

Kratos somberly reckoning with his violent and aspiring to be a better father while his dead wife is doing double jumps and air combos in another realm is so fucking funny. imagine if Laura Palmer was doing DOOM shit in the Black Lodge

Scott Pelley and I don't have much in common except that we have both once worked for CBS and we've both felt the exhilaration of tearing into an incompetent boss during an all-hands meeting with the complete and total freedom one only experiences when you sincerely do not care if you will be fired.

difficulty scheduling the follow-up session is also true to its inspirations

ah, the relics of my people

The Monster Is Handsome And Scary At The Same Time

Paramount+ wanted to use the image on the left as a poster for the wrath of Khan, so they used everyone's least favorite technology to generate the rest of the image.

the new Boards of Canada sounds like a very solid soundtrack to a well-regarded atmospheric metroidvania game, which feels like them closing the loop on all the indie game composers who were directly influenced by Boards of Canada.
