The Final Fantasy House, except: - It's open to any character from the Tommy Westphall Universe. - Nobody takes it seriously. We're all just being goofy little goblins. - It's only for a single weekend. - Hygiene is mandatory. I call Count Von Count. I've declared this one... One time! Ah, ah, ah!

So... This guy is Mog-mogging?

"It sure is fun hanging out with you, Venom Snake." "Aw, kid. Nobody's called me that in years."

Coheed and Cambria - Blood Red Summer

"I feel like my 'I didn't know Epstein' statement has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my statement."

When I get a new follower:

So wait. You're telling me that site isn't where people go shopping for a polycule?

The Bibleman series lasted longer than the confederacy.

I always laugh at Akira. "I'm hallucinating, and I might be both telekinetic and mutating. Better do some amphetamines about it."

Detroit Tigers announcer: "Jake Rogers got hit by a baseball." Me: "Is his snake Damien okay?"

Depluralize a movie Repo Man ...No. Wait.

Gonna tell my nephew this was Bulk and Skull.

🙋"Hey, you want to play Magic?" 🤡"Nah. I haven't played that in decades. I'm fine." 🙋"Come on, dude. We can play Commander." 🤡"Huh?! You want me to take my underwear off?" 🤦"..."

I love in movies when they just show a dude under a muscle car with a ratchet, just turning some random bolt. It's movie shorthand for "this guy is old-school." They love doing it sci-fi movies. "This guy don't need no high-tech fancy car or robot! He's got a V8!"

...Aaaaay, Macarena!

Good Riddance - Steps

"Hello, Marvel? I've got a great idea for a What If? You writing this down? 'What if Danzig bought Arthur Googy that second cheeseburger?' See, because he didn't, and that led to..." (Click) "Hello? Hello?"

Freddy Mercury: "One vision!"

The Cyberpunk TTRPG setting: "We cannot know what an AI's motive is. It doesn't think like us, or have the same wants and needs as us. And it's very good at manipulating people. That's why we keep them all behind the Blackwall." Real life: "Grok is my friend, and it said mercury is good for me!"

🧑‍🌾"I just spent all day edging." 🙍"What?!" 🧑‍🌾"My lawn looks fantastic. Nice crisp line between the grass and the sidewalk." 🤦"..."

Watching as the world falls into eternal chaos and gibbering insanity. "Oh, great. Now Cthulhu is woke."

I've been saying this since at least the mid-90s. Can't stand that cloying, disingenuous "tee-hee aren't I adorkable" schtick.

Dude... No.

"Good sweet Christ!" toad exclaimed. "That's the button that immanentizes the eschaton!" The raccoon cackled gleefully. "Yes, it is. Do you dare me?"

I deleted a post I made earlier. I misread the disclaimer. Universal in fact put "This film may not be used to train AI" in the credits of the Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which I applaud.

Back in my day, isekai protagonists weren't just handed a bunch of powers. They had a chainsaw, an Oldsmobile, and a few college textbooks. And they had to figure the rest out for themselves.

Spoiler-free Super Mario Galaxy Movie review: It was okay. I think it tried to do too much with a short runtime. I wonder if there was a longer version planned at one point. But it wasn't really bad, either. Certainly not "the death of cinema" or whatever. Just kind of okay. ⭐⭐½

Reddit media discourse is always great. "What's an obscure sci-fi movie?" And some guy will be like "The Matrix!" And everyone will back him up on that. Or it'll be like "What's an underrated JRPG?" And some rando will yell "Final Fantasy VII!"

Apparently the "R.R." in "George R.R. Martin" stands for "Ribbit, Ribbit."

Why do news websites always call him "Law & Order star Ice-T" or "rapper-turned-actor Ice-T" and not like "mutant kangaroo Ice-T" or "leader of the Lo-Teks Ice-T"?

My sincere hope is that they don't try to cram a bunch of extra action beats into the Neuromancer TV show, just to keep the attention span of "second screen" viewers. Neuromancer was a slow burn. Case isn't an action guy, and Molly is damaged (as most characters in the genre are). Play that up.

Every Isekai anime is just a ripoff of "Den" from Heavy Metal, anyway. So just spend a handful of minutes watching that segment, instead of hundreds of SAO episodes. Use the time you save to enjoy a hobby, or some time with loved ones.

Chair yoga? Do you think my chair is really that out of shape?

It's not too late to recast Leto as Skeletor. Given that we never see his actual, non-CG face (hopefully), we can literally have anyone come in and do his voice. I personally recommend Michael Wincott, but any actor with an imposing voice will do.

"Resident Evil? No, I'm just house-sitting."

Me: "What are we playing?" GM: "Draw Steel." Me: "You mean the superhero played by Shaq?" GM: "What?! No, it's--" Me: "Well, I'll try to draw him. But I'm not that great of an artist. What do I get if mine's the best?"

I miss what the old site used to be, but I'd like to think we've built something better here. Pity it probably won't last. Still, this is one of the funniest tweets from back in those days.

Now you're just some Odie I used to know.

Me: "What are we playing?" GM: "Draw Steel." Me: "You mean the superhero played by Shaq?" GM: "What?! No, it's--" Me: "Well, I'll try to draw him. But I'm not that great of an artist. What do I get if mine's the best?"

In memoriam 1988-2026

The Streetlight Manifesto version of Keasbey Nights is better than the Catch-22 release.

I might be putting together a mini-convention / game day either this year or next. Odds are it'll only be ten hours - just long enough to set up, host two four-hour slots with a break in between, and tear down. Maybe 10 tables max. I'm keeping it small, achievable, and realistic.

My, my, my, my, Mitchell...

When you accidentally hit the front camera…

Oregon Trail doctor: "I'm afraid you've got consumption." Wagon train leader: "Don't say it." Me: (laugh) "There is no... ethical..." (cough, cough) Wagon train leader: "Just put him down, doc."

Ironically there's a Bowlero Lanes & Lounge in Royal Oak, MI that is independently owned, and not part of the Bowlero chain. They put on a lot of free shows from local bands, too. It's a genuinely good place. I hope they don't catch any strays from this.

The Hackers, shot on video around Croswell Michigan, released in 1988. No, it doesn't have Johnny Lee Miller and Angelina Jolie telling you to hack the planet. But it does have a guy getting his throat slit over a jar of deviled eggs. www.imdb.com/title/tt1865...
