I think Zootopia's overall my favorite of that era but I think Disney's been on a pretty hot streak lately.

Yeah, honestly a sticker from decalgirl sounds like the best bet, though that still requires me finding some way to raise 130~ bucks for the new 3ds and the decals so idk, I don't have any income so who knows if I'll find something to do to get cash before black friday or not :| oh well

Wreck-It Ralph is such a goddam great movie, I watch it at least once a year and it's probably still my favorite thing Disney has done since they went full CGI. Some of the references to actual games in the first act of the movie are a little forced but everything about Jane Lynch's Samus/Master Chief character as a parody of modern shooter protagonists is still as on-point as ever.

I thought it spent a little too much time in Candyland but Alan Tudyk's King Candy was delightful

Brave is better than most people give it credit for but it winning the animation Oscar in a year with Wreck-It Ralph and ParaNorman is criminal, about as bad as Big Hero 6 winning against Princess Kaguya and Song of the Sea

Just because he's a bad guy doesn't mean he's a bad guy.

I've seen some strange push back against Wreck It Ralph. Some people feel the message is about not questioning your place in life and to just accept that some people belong at the bottom of the stack but I think that's really cynical. Being happy with who/what you are isn't a bad thing, feeling comfortable in your place in the world isn't a boot keeping you in line.

Wreck It Ralph suffers from the fact that its message is a bit muddled. It's supposed to be "Doing a job doesn't define you" but it also tries to do "Ralph actually has some legitimate personal issues, he isn't just a put-upon innocent guy" and it can end up feeling like it's saying "Yeah, actually, Ralph deserves all this poo poo."

It's kind of like The Incredibles where a couple of lines are ambiguous enough it's easy to read them as saying something a lot worse than what is probably intended.

It bugs me that some characters are animated jerkily to make them more retro when other characters from the same game are animated normally.

I bought a PSVR. It's very fun. Cinematic Mode is also really immersive for non-VR games, although it fucks with text a bit because of the lower resolution.

I basically figured that the value of the dollar is about to drop steeply, plus imports are going to get more expensive in general, so now is the time to invest in gaming supplies.

You can also give your PSVR to your gaming enemies after spreading anthrax on the inside if you want, they will probably get cheaper soon anyway

edit: I cannot speak to the rising or falling of the price of anthrax though

Yeah. Ralph is not wrong to want to be treated better, he's just wrong when he tries to prove himself a hero in a superficial way. His goals are noble but he has to grow up and realize what really matters. And in the end everyone learns and grows a little.

I'm just glad the movie didn't have some dumb message pandering to nostalgic adults about how the retro games are totally better than new games and its a crime that kids play the modern shooter garbage instead.

The older games getting phased out for newer games is only a part of life in the arcade. Like it's sad that Q Bert doesn't have a home anymore but that's just the natural end for games that have outlived their prime.

Not like it particularly matters because arcades are a rapidly dying relic of a bygone era which will probably almost entirely eliminated within the next decade or so. Everyone in WIR has a shelf life that's rapidly approaching
