I’m still eagerly awaiting Earthbound 64. I read about it all the time in Nintendo Power back in the day. It’s still coming isn’t it?  Read more

IMHO some of these aren’t Oscar worthy. However I think “Moonage Daydream” should have had a nomination. Read more

Prey was one of my favorite movies of the year and probably the one I recommended to others the most and I was not even a predator movie fan.  Read more

You say this, but. Sigh. A gaming friend of mine told us that he learned all he knew about being a dad (he wasn’t one at the time) from that movie. No joke. I mean, it’s not awful, kinda middle of the road schmaltzy with good enough fight choreography and special effects to be worth watching, but it’s no Karate Kid or Read more

I half-enjoy Decoder Ring; at times it can feel like (as is the case with plenty of Slate media) the writer/host is trying to plant a flag and reclaim our perspective on a pop culture moment. The nadir for me was the Rebecca Black episode, where they shrug off the idea of bought fame for a “sincere artist” veneer that Read more

I started with the Bobos in Paradise episode and it was hilarious. Michael seems to gel with all his co-hosts and whether it’s a rage laugh or a genuine Read more

Over the long run, 99 percent of Funkos are worthless outside of whatever depraved joy fans get from occasionally making eye contact with the ones lining their shelves. Read more

Cut them out of your life like a cancer or a tumor. Just like with cancer surgery, you’ll learn to live without the area that was removed.  Read more

My weekend breakfast sandwich is often two hashbrown patties with cheese and gochujang, and a fried egg. I like to airfry the cheese onto the hashbrown, but perhaps I will try the frico egg.

You inspire me to make my own sausage! I’m in a total rut about breakfast: a boiled egg and a piece of toast, day in, day out... I’ve been known to make breakfast sandwiches in the past, but only fried ham and an egg on a piece of bread. Kind of boring. Read more

I kinda feel like these ‘Best of’ lists should be restricted to games that are only available on those particular systems? So long as exclusivity is still a thing, if I’m reading a list about the best stuff on Nintendo Switch, I want to see the stuff that I can only play on that system.
