Seconding this thread. Welcome Interstate Managers rules... even if Traffic and Weather is Fountains of Wayne at their peak IMO. God I miss Adam Schlesinger
Fountains of Wayne only being known as the Stacy's Mom band is such a travesty. Don't get me wrong, it's a hit, but it's also a piece of a larger concept album about suburban and exurban Northeast corridor life and people whose lives have quietly calcified into routines they didn't exactly choose!!

Arin Hanson catching strays for videos he made over a decade ago. You people are insane
some say the ghost of sequelitis still haunts us
I'm older than you so I can confirm that they came with a little book that had the tutorial in it and you read it on the way home

I am so unbelievably excited for Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3. I love Rebirth ferociously and I trust the creative team wholeheartedly.
But I also know there's no way the developers aren't being crunched to HELL right now trying to get the game done in time for FF7's 30th anniversary next year ☹️

Here’s what I don’t get: if the God of War Trilogy remake is in “the early stages” of development… what has Sony Santa Monica been doing for the past 3 years? Is there something else they’re working on that’s closer to release?

Hey there it’s me, the only person on your feed who is super jazzed about Dragon Quest VII Reimagined. It’s the biggest step forward for the series in years and it looks amazing on top of that. The recent HD2D remakes are good, but this is on another level

The new Muppet Show special w/ Sabrina Carpenter is good! Didn't knock my socks off, but it understands the fundamentals and that's all I could ever ask of this property. Sabrina was great, but let's be honest, we already knew she would be. Hoping this is the beginning of a new era for my crew 😌

In keeping with a personal commitment to beat more games in my backlog this year, I finished Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII last night.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

I'm still surprised Square Enix hasn't done anything with Queen's Blood from FF7 Rebirth. Imagine a low-budget release with a campaign like the Pokemon Trading Card games on Game Boy Color. More cards and online play? I think that would make a killing!
That or a F2P mobile game, I guess

My expectations were underground and yet I’m still disappointed. Most of the high-profile “announcements” in the Partner Showcase were for releases we already knew were happening. I would’ve preferred literally nothing instead of this.

Kirby Air Riders hitting 1.7 million copies in a couple of months is awesome. I accept it was never going to do Mario Kart numbers but it’ll probably hit 2 million sooner or later and that’s no slouch!
Nintendo Switch 2 now at 17.37 million units sold as of Dec 31, 2025. Nintendo Switch at 155.37 million units
Mario World World sold 14.03 million
Donkey Kong Bananza 4.25 million

I don’t know if this is a hot take or has been discussed, but using the release date of when something was released is not an excuse to spoil it.
“It’s been out for years!” is absolutely the most bullshit thing you can say. Not everyone has the same exposure or accessibility to everything you do.

I tried out Highguard last night and though I really like how it plays (you can tell it was developed by industry veterans), the structure of the “Raid Mode” doesn’t connect with me at all 🫤 Played the tutorial (plus a few matches) and I’m still really confused on how a match is supposed to play out
