Criminally overlooked and underrated.

Yes, but Republicans do what they want with no consequences, so check and mate.

First thing that popped into my mind: Galavant. It’s a prime time network fantasy comedy from a writer of Cars and Tangled, teamed up with the composer from Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid.

It’s like if The Princess Bride was two seasons of musical television with songs from the golden 90’s era of Disney. In a just world, it’d have six seasons and a movie.

I love this energy.

Instead of watching whatever the hell this ends up being, just read this ancient and hilarious screenshot Let’s Play. I guarantee it’s more entertaining, especially if you remember early 2000’s internet, before it turned into <gestures at everything>.

Number three…

The larch.

Absolutely. It definitely takes some delightful liberties with WHY Blackbeard takes a liking to Stede and why Stede leaves his family in the first place, but the overall arc is based on a true story.

Stede Bonnet was a wealthy landowner who walked away from his family to buy a boat and become a really bad Pirate of the Caribbean. Blackbeard ran into him, took his ship, decided for some reason he kinda liked the guy, taught him a few things about piratin’, then went his own way. Bonnet did better after that, but he was eventually captured and hanged.

Were you looking for a story of inspiration and success instead of history’s worst midlife crisis? If so, oops.

I’ve been saying for a while that Microsoft’s best bet from here is to turn the Xbox into a Windows box, update Windows to work decently on handhelds, and launch an Xbox portable. Kill the console/PC distinction and leave Sony flat-footed to compete with Nintendo.

The only challenge to this approach is Valve beating them to it from the other direction.

A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers. If you could distill pure insufferable smugness into a liquid, this was him squirting it into your mouth while you’re not paying attention and laughing at you while you sputter and gag.

To shreds, you say?

Announcing the Horace-Armour particle!

I remember the chill I felt when I first saw an announcement with a countdown to an announcement for the next CoD. I could tell we were going somewhere bad, and this was probably eight years ago.

Someone asked a similar question from a retro portable gaming standpoint, if it’s useful.

Nice! Congrats and I hope you enjoy it!

I noticed the announcement trailer doesn’t even show any footage of the original, which makes it the only remaster trailer I think I’ve ever seen that doesn’t do a split screen or other comparison at some point.

And the first thing they mention is new Spatial Audio and haptic triggers. It’s like selling a new car and bragging about the cup holders first.

I feel like this is a good litmus test. If you have to double the price of the original, your remake/remaster is coming too early.

I’m just going to come in here and say the Neo Geo Pocket Color will always have a place in my heart.
