So it's dead at this point. I mean I even had a dream where it was canceled. I thought it might come out 4/13 but we're a clean month past.

Ah whatever. Bye again forever Homestuck.

I mean it's a postmodernist multimedia experience that influences and is influenced by its fandom, that starts out as an otherwise inconsequential goof in a video game before delving into this multiverse-spanning lore that is more or less made up as it goes along. The comparisons write themselves.

It just ends well and nick and griffin aren't replaced by knack and griffon, 14-year-old Youtube lets players who have some real spicy opinions about feminism, for forty goddamned episodes.

Samurai Jack finale spoilers: Man that's some bush-league time travel poo poo, son. Samurai John just blithly retconning a timeline out of existence then getting ambushed by the Grandfather Paradox, A.K.A. Oldest Trick In The Time-Book, that's mad basic. Ashi even dies like a beta-Timeline visitor, complete with weird delayed mortality effect.

All I'm saying is Dave woulda run rings around Aku.

much like homestuck it ended it dumb relationship stuff and the main character seeming to be in a state of ennui instead of the cool and funny characters, like equius or the scotsman

Can't wait for negative fan responses to drive Genndy to release a slideshow of Jack's uncomfortable transition back to a 'normal' life of royalty where he feels cut off and estranged from every meaningful relationship he forged over his adventure, ending with Future Aku sending him taunting snapchats from the alternate timeline where he's torturing the Scotsman's ghost.

This is my new thing by the way I'm just going to relate the faults in every other piece of media I consume back to Homestuck for the rest of my life. "This series finale to Game of Thrones really failed to deliver on the audience's series-long investment in its vast cast of characters, much like Homestuck" - a post from the future.

So there was just a kickstarter email that very conspicuously doesn't mention the game's current status, or even acknowledge it as an issue. It was so bad I thought maybe the game actually came out and I just missed it somehow.

I'm pretty sure Game of Thrones is going to end exactly like Homestuck did... with everyone dying horribly while nothing gets accomplished and the bad guys gleefully win.

Only without the RetJohn.

There's still room for Jon to retcon the timeline at the pivotal battle of Robert and Rhaegar that brings everyone back to life and short-circuits the central conflict but leaves him alienated from all his prior relationships, including alternate version of his father who doesn't know him at all. And every so often he gets a raven from the Night's King taunting him to come up North of the Wall and finish their showdown already.

Honestly there's still a nonzero chance the plot's going to end with the White Walkers destroying the world and Bran using his tree-god time powers to change history, wiping the whole plot up to that point, so this isn't even a joke.

I watched the first one and a half episodes of Car Boys and so far as I can tell it's just another youtube game streamer show about guys who like smashing cars? Am I missing something here?

If it turns into a written series of some kind that parodies streamers with meta-story elements or something like that blink twice.
