Expedition 33 is the most normal video game of all time. The enemy design is great and the combat is fun to break. The story is charmingly terrible. It is shiny and expensive-looking and ugly. The music is hilariously bad. It is, in many ways, exactly what we deserve.

the hamnet marketing is really misleading btw. the kid doesn’t even die she just transitions. but Jessie Buckley keeps saying “it FEELS like I’ve lost a child.” she has a panic attack seeing a man playing Ophelia on-stage too. rly unfortunate stuff :///

In Super Mario Galaxy, the stars on the letters of the logo spell "u r mr gay", while for the movie it says "he mr gay". This is because you are watching Mario, not playing him.

However good/esoteric/inexplicable you think this sounds, your brain is underselling it. One of the big “how did this get greenlit” moments in recent memory. It has blown my mind lol
For years, Tony Yacenda's "American Vandal" has been my favorite Netflix show, but I never watched "Players," his eSports follow-up. Found out it was all on an official YouTube playlist. Blasted through it in 3 days. Phenomenal. youtube.com/playlist?lis...
