Batman:Ninja was fun to watch, but you have to put reality on the backburner. They are goofy as hell on some of the bits, but if you don't take it serious its good.

It's way more of a string of video game cutscenes than any kind of cohesive narrative.

There have been like five school shootings since January carried out by people wearing nazi regalia who posted on the internet about how they were nazis. Nothing will make this country realize there’s a problem as long as the killers are white.

The problem is that and compound with America’s completely irrational demand to own guns “in case the badguys come”. Like honestly, if Sandyhook wasn’t a breaking point, nothing will be. Anyway, my brother was saying they are getting Will Artnett to voice Deathstroke in the Teen Titans animated film as opposed to Ron Pearlman for....reasons.

I think the framing is that Miles is being exposed to the multiverse and is becoming Spider-Man and all that while the Peter we've got has been in 616 for like 20 years now. He seems over it.

I got this sort of "voodoo DirectX" thing and replayed a bunch of Sam & Max on Steam today - someone should reboot that as a cartoon. I have vague memories of the original animated series but don't remember if it was any good or not.

It was decent and very weird (think Twisted Tales of Felix The Cat) but the humor was a bit more general than the games or comics. You could do a lot worse on a saturday morning.

I have vague memories of the original animated series but don't remember if it was any good or not. I've rewatched a few episodes recently, and Lactose the Intolerant remains an awesome parody. They really get so many adult reference in there too, some of which are pretty sly and others are straight-up references to Aliens or whatever, without it being too overbearing, and it's a pretty creative show. Some use of foreign stereotypes for humour is the only thing that hasn't necessarily aged well, but it's such a wacky show it's possibly less standout than it would otherwise be, so just YMMV.

I've been trying to find a copy of the trade paperback collection but they're pretty hard to come by. I think Sam & Max Hit the Road either came out on Steam recently (I know The Curse of Monkey Island went up on Steam earlier this year) or is available on GOG - I haven't seen it in about 20 years (when it was too difficult for me ) so I've been thinking of getting it as well. Does it hold up as a good point-and-click?Anyway, Sam & Max is something Lord & Miller might potentially be good at, actually.

I assume Lurdiak's main objection to the Sierra games is deaths, dead man walking scenarios and moon logic puzzles. The Space Quests are still very funny, but they're packed to the brim with those. Personally I've played all the Sierra adventures so many times I can sleepwalk through them all so it doesn't bother me, but I can see how it would someone else. QfG and GK1 don't really have those problems though, they're the most well designed and the games even the most hardened LucasArts partisans usually respect

There's no higher social principles involved, or anything vaguely political. What is there to snowball into something like Gamergate? Multiple actual actors of star wars have had to leave the internet because people keep realistically threatening to murder them accompanied by photos of where they live and their families and children.

People take fiction far too seriously and I'll never understand it. If you don't like something that's fair enough but it's no big deal at the end of the day. It's only movies/cartoons/books/etc.

Yeah. I put some blame on schools though, at least in the US. They don't really teach criticism (they sure didn't when I was in school.) I mean, they taught "literary criticism" when I was in high school, but in reality, that was the kind of academic writing that is pretty masturbatory and doesn't really teach anyone how to express an actual personal opinion. So kids grow up not really knowing how to take in and process entertainment media and are basically thrown to the wolves of the internet where they get engulfed in lovely, toxic fan cultures. The interesting thing to me about the Last Jedi stuff is, that despite the god awful assholes harassing people, there isn't actually much relief on the other side of the fence, so to speak. The people who liked that film have been quite insufferable in their own way and it really goes to show you the sad state of fandoms.

Of course it goes for people who like stuff too much as well as people dislike it, but the latter are more frequently the ones going out of their way to go after people. I think it's mostly internecine within a fan community with people who are really passionate fans of something. I don't think people who liked a movie have ever impelled one of its cast to quit social media, for instance. (Which I think is fairly rare, but that makes it more notable when it does happen.)

Oh definitely, it is a totally different scope of problem. Harassers are a more critical issue for sure, but I have to feel that at least part of that is born from general toxicity in fandoms. I generally really like Star Wars, but I did not care for TLJ, and I can definitely say that as someone who found the film flawed, the behavior of people who did like the film completely turned me off, and at times legitimately frustrated and angered me. Now thankfully, I am not some insane maladjusted rear end in a top hat, so the only result was kind of just removing myself from that whole area of geekery, but I can imagine lots of people being pushed into the welcome arms of more extreme, lovely people. I mean, none of this blow up happened with The Force Awakens. There were definitely bigots and assholes there too, but they were mostly drowned out by an overwhelming positive response. I guess what I am saying is that people shutting down any civil discussion of a movie (or whatever) only aids in giving crazy assholes more of a platform. It has a snowball effect.
