Prince of Egypt (1998) v. Ten Commandments (1956) v. Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014)

From the cast and thumbnail I thought Operation Mincemeat was going to be a tense war thriller. Instead it's the screenwriters jacking off over how important and cool and sexually desirable writers are.

She kept doing laps across my keyboard until I cradled her like this.

I think I'm cheering for the Gävle Goat this year. Fire's had its turn. Let the goat live. For now. #Goat2025 #Fire2026

The weirdest part of Battle for Azeroth is that the Horde version of the Alliance islands is a snapshot of the Alliance story, but the Alliance version of the Horde islands is "and all the Horde leadership are all working with vampires just off screen from anything Horde players see or do."

Western Conference is such a waste this season, reality warping in the gravity well of the goddamn Avalanche.

When are we getting the next Hangman vs Jon Moxley match, two barbecue dads throwing down over when the steaks should get flipped?

How does this fantastic essay still only have 83k views after 6 years? www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJn2...

I’m getting on a plane, so I won’t be able to watch the game awards, and will instead need to engage with them the normal way: from a text summary on Reddit two days later.

God. Damn. Hotel. Pillows.

Alright, hear me out: cozy wargames. All the fun of gluing tiny parts to plastic models and then painting them, but with 98% less Catholicism. I really feel like this is an untapped market.

Which has held up better over time: Soldier (1998) or John Carter (2012)

Wow released their housing and diffused collectables back through all the previous expansions, with a few new reagents specific to them, like lumber for furniture and a preservative for decorative food. Each expansion has their own lumber you get from clicking on trees.

Sneering douchebag: "You're gonna be famous on the internet!" The Internet:

A """funny""" thing I've noticed is that if you see a buckwild and totally made up claim on Reddit and then search that claim on Google, trying to source it, the Gemini AI summary will be like "oh, yeah, that totally happened, and my source is that three hour old Reddit thread you were just reading"

All righty, we got the all clear this time. Follow Dan as he explores the "cost" of a Desert Bus:

this is how I found out googling "Chicxulub" will summon a png of a meteor to fly across your screen

You get all these artistic depictions of the Chicxulub asteroid that have it as, like, this big glowing rock in the sky, like the moon from Majora's Mask, and "oh, what would that have been like!? Imagine the stress!" But the reality is almost worse.

Very funny how he tries to present “betting on the next head coach at Penn State” as a righteous force cutting through misinformation

The soldiers in Stargate are shockingly chill about a bunch of bronze age teenagers taking their guns. When Snake Pliskin freaks out it's just because he's "unreasonably" traumatized by his kid dying playing with his sidearm. Wild movie.

Feels like a day for putting on Yer Favourites and just crafting away until I bawl by eyes out when Scared comes on deep in disc 2.

Marina’s going to give Mox a gift bag, but inside is just gonna be a Tap Out shirt and then Yuta’s gonna get him with the plastic bag. #aew

Hey Greg, how do you get “Swaggy Jason” out of your head? Put it in the comments if you’d like to join a coven with the express goal of deleting Swaggy Jason from your mind, the internet, and reality.

The modern world is just pro wrestling and a gambling addiction standing on top of a mechanical Turk.

If you go to Paggliacci’s in November you can skip the line if you choose the outdoor seats, and then they bring you blankets.

I love the fact that Elon probably had to call an engineer and demand the phrase “pathetic pussy bitch” be blocked from trending.

Superman might be the perfect movie for Mikey’s lens of optimism youtu.be/ZHF3vCXApkA?...

I killed Graham

Congrats you made the thumbnail youtu.be/QtgmSrXdyPE?...

Okay, who has the clip of me eating the cupcake?

Desert Bus wheels… down? Watch now! desertbus.org/2025/ @desertbus.org #desertbus2025

This is so awkward to use, why are hotels full of so many insane decisions 😭

Packing the essentials for #DesertBus2025

Was digging through old screenshots and remembered the manbaby FPS Police that would catalogue any games locked at 30fps, and beyond the "get over yourself" nature of it the list was full of, like, turn-based strategy games, visual novels, dating sims, point and click adventures, hidden object games

Cuphead just doesn't do it for me. Can't put my finger on it. Finished the first island, and, like, academically I can tell it's good and understand why people like it, but I'm not loving it. I beat the flower and had a moment where I realized the main thing keeping me going was the instant restart

Favourite genre of bad history: "[ancient writer] predicted [modern writing that explicitly riffs off ancient writer]" i.e. "Plato predicted the Matrix"

"I'm so, so tired of ads for Ozempic, Viagra, and AI garbage, please give me something else" A finger on the monkey's paw curls "Draft Kings is your number one destination for every sport!"

I need a long read interview with the XBox designers explaining why TF they used security torx screws everywhere.

Tartaria/Mudflood might be my favourite modern conspiracy theory simply for having the wackiest adherents.

I had reason to check comments on The Minnewanka Curve Experiment and saw this lovely one from a year ago.

Congratulations to the Cuomo team: it takes a lot of dedication and money to lose one election twice.

Every year I tell myself I'm going to keep track of all the good video essays I watch through the year, so that when Sight and Sound sends out their call for year end reflections I can contribute meaningfully, and every November I am boo boo the fool.

I would simply lure Mercedes Mone into taking contact damage from an environmental hazard and then grab all the belts when she drops them.

Okay, what did Jamie Oliver do this time?

Technically kicking off the show (since we start at 3pm), and then occurring from Noon-6pm daily is Alpha Flight! With familiar faces shuffling into the shift, it's hard to pin down what they'll be up to this year, but we're sure it'll be fascinating.

Did Steam change how they calculate % of players for achievements, like minimum play time or “has earned at least one achievement”? I’m looking through various games and the numbers all seem a lot more reasonable than historically.

I got this ad on Reddit for AI slop that starts funny purely because the bandage doesn't cover his ear and a human needed to look through their promo images and pick one, but I digress. The hook here is *actual physical objects*!

Reddit pumped and dumped Beyond Meat (the people who make the veggie burgers), and all the meme stock “DD” is getting recycled in fast forward in a bagholder speedrun.
