2025 Media Thread Begins Here:
1) The Karate Kid Part II
Having finished Part 1 recently, I wanted to watch this and Part 3. And Part 2 is pretty good. Now, the script isn't as tight as the first movie's, and honestly the stakes seem a bit less grounded and more fantastical than the first movie's...

Finally completed Banjo Tooie last night! What a journey! I had a lot of fun and while I do prefer Kazooie; I believe Tooie was a great way to end the Rare Collectathon Trilogy (BK, DK64, BT). Kind of wish Twelve Tales of Conker came out and continued the collectathon genre, though.

Okay. I'd like to issue the rare SQG Retraction. When I heard complaints about Canary Mary, I thought it was about her in general; but turns out they're talking about the Cloud Cuckoo Land's iteration that has probably caused an influx in tendinitis cases in 2000. Holy crap, it really is THAT bad
Replaying Banjo Tooie, this time a completionist run, has been enlightening.
1) Canary Mary is not even in the Top 5 worst Jiggies if you use the Slide Finger method on the A button. Unconventional, but works.
2) Grunty Industries is actually pretty fun. There's so much to do, even if you're...

I know it's preaching to the choir, but I am SO sick of Jared Leto that I wouldn't even want him in a Thirty Seconds To Mars biopic. That's how much I'm sick of him.

Finished watching Scrubs. That finale is still incredible. Might not be the show's best episode, but goddamn is it the finale-est of finales in terms of fanservice and just being a great end to JD's journey. Also, bonus points for using Peter Gabriel's cover of "The Book of Love" for this scene!

Watching random episodes of Classic Simpsons. "The Day The Violence Died" from Season 7 has never not weirded me out with that ending. It's kind of a brilliant subversion. Bart and Lisa DON'T save Itchy & Scratchy; but rather two random kids Lester and Eliza. And they never show up again. Wild!

Just finished the Season 2 finale of Peacemaker. It was okay, but the previous episode was everything 8 should've been. It really felt like a wind-down finale coming after the seventh episode.

Buyers: So your games... guns and football, yes?
EA: Mmhmm, mmhmm, mostly guns and football, yep.
Buyers: No gay stuff? No politics we're not going to like?
EA: Haha, definitely not! Hey, could you give me one sec? I just need to shut down a studio real quick.

Okay, why did nobody tell me Gerard Way and Gabriel Ba finally released the long awaited fourth Umbrella Academy miniseries? It's called Plan B and will feature the Sparrow Academy introduced in the end of Hotel Oblivion. The first two issues are out now, so I'm definitely giving it a read.

Ngl, I started reading the new Batman relaunch written by the legendary Matt Fraction and I love the direction it's going in already. Batman has a very techy suit that feels in line with the 2020's, but the character work is strong with Fraction's idea of Batman being a compassionate crusader.

My good friend Stephanie and I have been playing co-op Heretic, since the new remaster of that and Hexen has been out. I might honestly prefer Heretic to Doom. Steph is right about the lack of hitscanners being really nice. But also, you can hold items in an inventory slot and use them when...

My strict dad was like "I know this is Rated R, but I'm gonna let you and your sister watch this. There is a lot of swearing, but nothing you two haven't heard your mother and I say before. You'll also see somone's ass, but we all have them so no big deal."

I prefer Doom 2 over Doom 1. It's challenging in all the best ways for me, and more ambitious in the best ways. It does have lower lows than Doom 1...unless you count Episode 4: Thy Flesh Consumed...which then makes Doom 2 way higher than Doom 1.

Not a big REM guy, but I always liked "Half A World Away." Been a fan since it played on that one Scrubs episode.

Here's the complete list up to 2024. I like how it turned out, all things considered. Was a little worried it might have too many platformers, but my friends assured me I'm allowed to have a genre type.

So far, this is what I have from 1985 to 2009. Some years were better than others, but goddamn it's been smooth sailing since 1989 and just never had a dry spell of games.

Deciding what my favorite game of each year is a daunting task. So many great games in 1994, 1997, 2001, 2004, and 2011.

I keep forgetting that David Cross was in Small Soldiers. That movie is a real who's who of actors before they got super famous.

That new Superman movie was everything I'd ever want in any DC film. So glad Mr. Terrific was a supporting character in this movie. This is probably my favorite scene. youtu.be/S8CXn5UNWI0?...
