FOUR STRAIGHT NIGHTS OF LIVE THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS IN SEATTLE IN JUNE NEXT YEAR??

Nintendo Switch Sports Resort's open world > Mario Kart World's open world

I dare say... the Sportsmates in Switch Sports Resort are growing on me. I said what I said.

Italian scientists crossed a pig and a turkey, creating a monstrosity that escaped from their lab. They're calling it the "gobble-ghoul."

If you've got the right craft materials, props, costumes, a printer, and an editing app, I wager you could do a pretty faithful shot-for-shot remake of TMBG's "Put Your Hand Inside the Puppet Head" video in a weekend (and I mean that as a compliment)

If you've got just shy of 14 hours to spare (ha), check out Player5's first-ever Breath of the Wild 100% speedrun (done all in one sitting!), breaking the 14-hour barrier for the first time youtu.be/iRmhg9mGUFU

I saw that resort hotel and I thought " They made that look like a Roman numeral 6 in purpose, right?!"

For those interested, Vine superstar Gabe Gundacker (a legit musical talent) made theme songs for non-existent Wii Sports: curling, snorkeling, croquet, jogging, windsurfing, & "chess in the park," + volleyball which now exists for the Switch version. All less crazy than thumb wrestling. Ha!

Crazy that Switch Sports Resort has volleyball (the Wii version didn't)... but that years ago, Gabriel Gundacker crafted a theme song for if Nintendo *had* included volleyball in Wii Sports. (Sadly, the Switch version has nothing like this) www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBZG...

If you're considering wether or not to get Switch Sports Resort, lemme just say this; 1. It's WAY better than the original Switch Sports 2. Skateboarding alone makes it worth it

So... has anyone tried the Sightseeing Tour challenge with the plane in Switch Sports Resort? I have about 80% of all the snapshots... but weirdly, when I've flown around the island in night mode, at least 10 that I know I got in the daytime appear as if I never got them? Maybe something to patch?

Archery and Bowling are as peak as I remember them, can confirm

No NVC this week, but we will have shows each of the next three weeks to cover Ocarina of Time!

One way different versions of Taskmasters differ: TM UK S22 has a transphobe sympathizer in the cast who co-opted David Lynch's anti-transphobia "fix your hearts or die" line, while TM NZ S7 has a contestant delivering a rap calling out transphobia and every other kind of bigotry.

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on, nobody should support this kind of deception. They created a fake pamphlet to spark trans outrage and sent it to every home in Texas. Then their paid shills continued the outrage on social media. Politics is broken.

Trans people get called extremists for saying “hey don’t watch a wizard tv show.” Meanwhile people out here literally calling for legislative bans on our existence are propped up as feminist icons. Really just shows how those who make people uncomfortable or disrupt consumption are vilified.

Hey remember that time you banned me over “wishing ill” to JK Rowling?

3 top-tier podcast hosts with years of experience were recently unceremoniously dumped for corporate reasons by IGN. Now they're back with their own podcast, X Button Show, and a Patreon! Check 'em out

too two and tew (OK, I may've slipped in a ringer, but it IS in scrabble dictionary)

If you ever are a guest on Ziwe, no matter who you are, bring Visine and prepare not to blink b/c at some point you're going to engage in at minimum three staring contests and she's a top-ranked world champion

- Death - Taxes - Starting a new show and then just as swiftly learning the lead actor whom you've enjoyed in things for decades has done awful things

"The Beast" sounds like if Renny Harlin saw JUST the scene in Captain America: The Winter Soldier where Sam Jackson is attacked in that high-tech tank of an SUV, and thought, "Make that a whole movie, and keep Sam in it too"

Would be amazing if the twist of that new Exorcist movie is if ScarJo is haunted by being a Woody Allen apologist

Quite something watching the absolute back and forth over the merits of Digger and the debate over its artistic merits while not a soul makes mention of its lead's past (and still presumably present) problematic nature. Truly not sure if folks forgot, or if a new generation just doesn't know.

Replaying BOTW I forgot that luminous stones were 70 rupees each (I thought they were 30), so when I gleefully traded 40 of them for 4 diamonds (worth 500 rupees apiece) in Zora's Domain, I didn't realize until just now that I had a net loss of 800 rupees worth of luminous stones. Lesson learned!

Marvel/Disney weirdly only released the 1st 3 eps of WandaVision (excellent) on YouTube ahead of its sequel series VisionQuest (looks to also be excellent). If you can't see all of WandaVision beforehand, here's a half-hour-ish "we did your homework" recap video if you're into that sort of thing.

I yearn for Wuhu Island www.ign.com/articles/nin...

Sure, I'll do the "My 9 Albums" thing. I could easily have done this with JUST the discography of They Might Be Giants, but thought I'd show some restraint (ha!)

Only one Digger worth my time and it doesn't involve a problematic cult figurehead

i don't believe in AI "music". i listen to They Might Be Giants for the song sung from the drummers POV admitting that he's secretly Whitney Houston in disguise. about a musician that desperately wants to be known by his stage name. about that little birdhouse in your soul.
