Blargh oh my god yes, I have read fanfiction, in a way it's a guilty pleasure/so bad it's good thing. I can't read trashy romance though. Fanfiction..oh god..some of the anatomical limitations are..well..let's just say these women don't very much und

Wow. Just wow. I've never seen Gilligan's Island, but god...that show looks annoying. Just looking at that white bucket hat makes me irrationally angry. The professor and his wife? Does that mean that Eddie secretly wants Captain Thorpe to be his "daddy"? Oh nooooooooo
But yes, it looks like Baywatch more or less filmed someone's fanfiction. Amazing. I love how it was too stupid for even Mitch to take part. He probably was out there eating burgers on his waverunner tm the whole time.

'imagine how this kinda thing could be used in other mediums' that was clearly meant as a 'shame it only seems to exist in one kind of game' thing.

Which is a legitimate peeve, I was talking about the complaining that the tweets that said the trailers were nothing but a glorification of extreme violence. Hence the Tipper Gore comparison. It's pixels for God's sake.

Have they not heard of horror movies before?

no really I don't see what twitter does what Facebook and tumbler don't do. no one can ever give out a worthy option with 180 characters no matter if it's a well known pubic speaker or some nerd crying about his toys. the only thing I cen see it use for is some sort of RRS feed to get news from wbsites you follow but that all I see it as.

Twitter is removing their 144 character limit next month so who knows how that is going to go.

Edit: Wait, that is for private messaging only. Twitter will still only be good for reactionary bullshit about sports and maybe a middle east uprising.

I love how even the show ships Eddie/Captain Thorpe. And Gilligan's Island is a very, very stupid show, but I remember enjoying seeing reruns. It's definitely the 60s.

The DOOM stuff was just a cartoon violent thing. It's dumb. Go back 23 years and everyone would be laughing at people calling the violence in DOOM problematic. Extreme violence against absolute evil is extremely cathartic. Just like any game, really. The cheering is a non-problem since, like someone said, E3 crowds will cheer at anything. But I can't blame them getting excited about playing DOOM with some high octane violence. It's dumb and juvenile but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Now doing those animations every single time can become pretty tedious, especially if you are rewarded with more ammo/health for doing them. I rather just blow them in half with the super shotgun and move on, as Romero and Carmack intended.

Gilligan's Island (and other 60s shows) was in constant reruns during my chilhood. I know the (french) version of the song almsot by heart, and I'm not even a fan!

Gregory Allan Williams is a legitimately great actor and his Skipper was spot on. I'll talk about him more when I get to Garner-centric episodes, but he's one of the best actors on Baywatch.

unless I forgotten other times the show was filmed, thunder in paradise was filmed in 1993 between his time in WWF and WCW. the Baywatch epasoide was in 1995 and it was filmed as a cross promotion for the WCW PPV batch at the beach. it was one of WCW bizzare shows where it's held in a random place outside with no tickets to watch to show so it only making money from PPV buys.

Yea that was a good review, them both on different sides gave a pretty fair shake and Mike was 100% honest with 'yea this is a dumb disaster movie but it's fun and that's kinda all that matters for it'. And yea, I agree with him, Mad Max is objectively the better film as a film but JW was more fun for me.

The ep's so amazing. It's in season 6 I think though. Cyron's correct, it was a cross-promotion with a PPV. There was an audience and the Baywatch people were awkwardly cut in cheering as if they were there, ha ha.

There also is an ep where Giant Gonzales plays a mistreated circus performer who just wants to carve pelican statues!

In The Sky is Falling, Captain Thorpe has one of his midlife crisis episodes and it seems like he's hitting on Eddie, so that was my joke for most of the ep, ha ha.

BigRed0427 posted:

For sure! My personal favorite ep is so batshit it's hard to describe clearly, but it involves a cross-promotion with Virgin Cola via blimp, Richard Branson performing a ski stunt, Hasselhoff randomly doing a music video to Dickensian runaways dancing next to burning trash cans, fake video phones, and Little Richard playing a waiter who constantly references Little Richard songs but no one gets he's Little Richard. It ends with a musical number and a record deal for a quirky English singer!
