The obsession with Guy Fawkes masks came from the reprinting of V for Vendetta trades, not the movie.

They'd been around for a while, but it wasn't until a 4Chan meme when the movie came out (and the anti-Scientology stuff shortly afterwards) that they really took off as a symbol for internet nerds.

Jada Pinkett's hair is one of the worst parts of The Matrix. They tried to include a super sexy lesbian kiss as an extra on Enter The Matrix but it was rendered completely heatless by that hair.

Speaking of Matrix ladies, Trinity looked pretty loving weird in the sequels. It's not easy to make Carrie Ann Moss look bad but they managed it. It's like how Winter Soldier somehow made Scarlett Johanson look like crap.

I have the PC version of Path of Neo laying around. I remember that version apparently being even buggier than normal due to being ported by like one guy. I wonder if it'd even work on Windows 10...

I'm kind of missing gametrailers.com their video reviews were pretty decent quality and dammit I want to know if The Division is worth getting (I know read impressions on here but it's just easier to understand if someone's explaining the game whilst showing gameplay)

Are there any other decent video reviewers who aren't Zero Punctuation or have angry, annoyed, disgruntled, cynical etc etc in their title?

I'm going to say the Polygon overview videos are decent if one of the McElroys is on it. Or nick Robinson.

Very unsurprised that Bob Rivers shows up on that list like a dozen times.

I am surprised that someone confused Dana Lyons with him, though.

They did a several-part retrospective on the Final Fantasy series and it was in total like three hours long lol.

I like how that Speed Racer song doesn't even bear a passing resemblance to an Aphex Twin song, at least the SoaD Zelda sorta sounded like them if you didn't really know what they sounded like.

Mark Turmell has been working at Zynga since 2011. The over-the-top sports game is dead, and Farmville killed it.
