My wife and I have been binging Mr. Robot on Netflix for the last week. The whole series has been enthralling overall, with some fairly cool twists. But Season 3, Episode 5 has become among my favorite episodes in all of television. Really impressed they were able to hit me with such a...

Such an accomplished actor, filmmaker, philanthropist, and person. Sheepishly, despite his much more prominent roles and films, he’ll live on forever for me as Bishop in Sneakers.

It’s Nintendo Direct offical. Hades 2: Sept 25th Metroid Prime 4: Dec 4th My gamer soul is satisfied for the year. … also way more into Storm Lancers and Lynked: Banner of the Spark than I should be.

I’d heard of both bands, but I wasn’t super familiar with either going in. Between the two, I know Modest Mouse more, having at least heard The Moon and Antarctica all the way through. So I was a little shocked to learn The Flaming Lips were the headliner. And even more shocked when I hadn’t...

Went to Santa Barbara to a concert for my wife’s birthday: Modest Mouse and The Flaming Lips. Had a lot of fun and really enjoyed The Flaming Lips headliner set. Listened to the full album of Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots today and dug that too.

Happy Silksong Day to all who celebrate it.

This is not a drill! Link: Radiohead Announces First Tour in 7 Years … but it’s entirely in Europe. So close.

Congratulations @Padrino A Winner Is You! We have a new Video Game king. May his reign span the console generations.

Too easy for me. It’s Chrono Trigger. Combined with two I didn’t take this time, Civilization II and Mega Man 3, they’re the only ones I’ve come back to consistently for the past 30+ years. Would be more exciting if this question was hard for me. Looks like I have to play more games.

That’s a little eerie. About the same order I played them in, except with 6 and 7 swapped and 8 out entirely. MM8 and MM&Bass are my only blind spots in the classic series. I’ve watched videos of them, but never played. Didn’t own a PS1 or GBA and didn’t even know either of those MM titles...

Forgiving the fact Cap totally pulled a Bash at the Beach Hogan Heel Turn on me, I’m excited to get into some of these: Wow, I completely botched this write-up. XCOM: Enemy Unknown absolutely is a turn-based tactics game. The FPS I mentioned was the other game announced that pissed everyone...

Question answered: clearly yes. Next question: do we really need to drag this out to Sunday? Give Padrino the crown he so richly deserves THAT is the only victory I care about.

I’d hoped this would be closer for the fun and the drama, but Padrino is The People’s Champion and well deserved. I’ve got Control, No Man’s Sky, and Citizen Sleeper at the top of my wishlist.

The Fight’N Rage guy doesn’t like a classic style beat ‘em up with modern mechanics? But, but … Triceratons!

I’m fully in the “just happy to be here” phase. Squaring off against my #1 ranked list is bittersweet. But should I go down now, it’s all worth it to be able to hand over this long rusted and brittle Video Game Draft Champion’s crown no one remembers I have to Padrino. Despite saying he just...
