Considering how much of a ruthless 60s capitalist Walt Disney was, if he did come back today somehow he’d be pretty shocked at some of the movies his name has been put to.

Monsters Inc. is about valuing ethics over profits and fixing corrupt systems, Soul is about not tying self worth to ambition or productivity, Cars is about how the big guys should help out the little guys, and Wall-E is y’know, Wall-E.

TBH I’d prefer my favourite franchises to have a Sonic or Crash scenario where it’s mostly bad games but the good ones are excellent, over a Kirby scenario where there are no bad games, but also no games any better than good.

Brazil has a news show called Journal Hoje and its logo is a H. Just a H. And its theme song sounds like a boss battle theme in a Crash Bandicoot/Pokémon crossover.

American kids’ shows: “we gotta figure out a sneaky way to get our adult jokes past the kids’ heads, so parents won’t complain!”

British kids’ shows: “**** it, let’s write sex on his head.”

I’ve heard of truth in advertising but this is absurd

The concept of Kemono Friends is pretty creepy to me. Not because of the animation, not because of animals turning into cute girls, but rather because well... logistically it’s really messed up. So, all the animals at the zoo have turned into humans... and they keep them in the zoo? And use them as attractions? This is horrifying! I can take some objectively unnerving concepts being reworked as cute or silly, but this is... no. Just no. Am I missing some important context? I really cannot understand how the questions this raises could’ve passed by the creators’ heads.

Political humour in media, especially animation with how long it takes to make (looking at you modern Simpsons and Animaniacs reboot) only really works with either foresight or perpetuity. Topical event-related jokes work fine as social media posts, but for comedies that can’t be made in 6 seconds you should wait until they’ve long passed so the mention can be surprising and everybody knows the full story. Jokes about political inevitabilities that have been going on forever with no sign of stopping also work just fine and have the potential to age like a fine wine.

Controversial opinion: they should’ve localised Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 as Mean Bean Machine Tetris.

No, I’m not being ironic. Not a shred of irony to be found.

I know game design wasn’t really a thing in the early 80s, but even then I can’t help but feel a little frustrated that no 80s shmups replicated the shield system of Space Invaders. That was where the whole strategy of the game kicked in, and games like Galaga would’ve been better off with some variation of it.

Continuing from that last status, I have come up with a theory about the development of Arms: A certain Shintaro Jikumaru discovered the secret of multiversal travel and ventured into an alternate universe where Sega’s mascot is Ristar. He played through the Ristar back catalogue and when he got to Ristar Adventure 2 Battle, he decided to play the non-fleshed-out multiplayer minigame mode. Inspiration struck and combined with Jikumaru’s desire to make a game with a large fan wiki Arms was born. Unfortunately, the team was so caught up with the fact people couldn’t logically trace its origins that they didn’t think to extend the gameplay beyond that of Ristar Adventure 2 Battle’s multiplayer mode

If you use “freedom of speech” as a defence for anything in any context, your point is invalid on the spot. The western world’s freedom boner is the main reason we are still ravaged by racists and anti-vaxxers

I got recommended a YouTube video with a fake NSO thumbnail featuring EarthBound and Bubsy 2.

Somehow, I fell for it.

I got recommended this YouTube video about a lost Atari furry game, and halfway through the uploader just started ranting about climate change and how much he hates humans because nobody’s talking about what he considers “the greatest game of all time” - a lost Atari 2600 game - now he’s talking about restraining orders. I get the feeling from the comments it’s an ARG though.

Add Mew to Smash, not for completionism, not for moveset potential, but to get rid of that damn useless Pokéball one and for all.

While they did choose some really good songs for Steve given the limitations the copyrights place, I kinda wish they could’ve padded out Steve’s songlist with some of these MS bangers.

Why does Mario Kart have a separate tracklist? And why is Excitebike Arena listed as Mario Kart instead of Others?

Just so you know Google, when I google “N64 aesthetic”, the last thing I want to see is a bunch of N64 logos covered in pink and cyan palm trees.

CatDog is not a show I’m fond of, but I like how for their “who are the parents?” episode the writers validated the twins’ adoptive parents as the real parents. A D-tier episodic 90s gross-out Nicktoon somehow pulled off one of the most heartfelt parent-child reunion and adoption stories ever. Albeit solely by the virtue of being the only one ever to actually handle the subject with any kind of dignity and respect.

I’m an atheist myself, but even then I often find myself thinking “I bet they’re an atheist” or “no surprise there: they’re an atheist”.

I keep getting these terrible Sonic rant videos by a guy who’s rantsona is literally just an A-posing Sonic Adventure Sonic model in my recommended.

I’m not usually into M-rated gore fests, but something about this game always fascinated me.

Real meat? Selling point. Fake meat? Selling point. Half-way-there kinda real but mostly fake meat? Impossible to honestly advertise.

“You didn’t play past the main story” is a really stupid way of justifying a game’s difficulty. Why would I want to play through an entirely easy game just to get to the 4 or 5 hard bonus levels/worlds? Why is the game structured in such a way that it’s easy to get the ending cinematic, with all the challenge saved for the postgame which only gets you a sequel tease at best?

lmao they made a game about the dragon guy from the first sky landers

why does it look like minecraft.

This is the most surreal advert in history. It’s a pop culture reference to a pop culture reference, it was made for extremely petty means ~~(as with anything comparing something to 1984),~~ and its purpose and references will be completely lost on their main demographic, it just defies all logic.

LEGO Approve toastergrl's Sonic Mania Concept - Sonic Retro

Almost exactly two years ago we featured this on the front page when it was in the initial pitch phase. Almost exactly one year ago we reported that it had almost reached it’s signatures goal and interviewed toastergrl herself. Today we can report that LEGO have officially approved her Sonic...
