I haven't watched any Avengers movies and haven't played pokemon in years so I am obviously expert on both

therefore when I say that pokemon is better it has to be true

no but it’s kind of inconceivable that there are people who don’t watch movies or tv, look at magazines, read the news, or look at memes. someone knowing Salt Bae but not Chris Evans is kind of ridiculous

You're not wrong, even though Pokemon hasn't been good except for Snap.

I wish people stopped using the phrase "hilarious self own." It's like the goony version of "so-and-so ABSOLUTELY SLAMS Republicans" and "Ted Cruz RIPS Dem assholes!"

There's never actually a hilarious self-own. I guess it's just a forum darling right now because I've seen it crop up everywhere

Lol this post is like that dick Dorkins post about how owns shouldn’t be a thing because you can’t own a person anymore

I've only played part of Pokemon Let's Go and it's definitely better than Avengers 1 and 2 by a significant margin.

Started playing Pillars of Eternity again on Steam. I want to finish it. It's so good. I love the writing and the gameplay is great. I'm wondering how the port to the console will work, but it's likely I'll get it. Worst comes to worst if the connectivity is a big deal I'll just get it on Steam.

I recognize The Island for being that movie that got rightfully sued by the owners of Parts: The Clonus Horror.

I know ScarJo from Under the Skin and Avengers.


e: Under the Skin is loving dope, btw

Scarlett Johansson is a genuinely good actor and I wish she would do better movies more often and not be relegated so often to being a token female character. Her early films like Ghost World, Girl in the Pearl Earring, and my personal favorite Lost in Translation are terrific. She's great in Under the Skin and even if I didn't like the movie that much, Phoenix is insufferable in Her, what she does with her voice alone is pretty great.

I'm hoping for some good stuff once the Avengers is over, though judging by Ghost in the Shell... who knows?

Is NSMBU good? I played 1 and kinda enjoyed it and 2 was boring as hell. Wii was ok I guess.

I'm basically wishing I'd bought Tropical Freeze instead because there's less variety to level design and block types than Mario 3 or World.
The graphics are fine, but the cleverness isn't there.
It's like Nintendo said they wanted a sequel to the original Mario 1 and stuck to it too literally; it's an iteration of a series that was already improved upon.

theres other persona 5 announcements happening in a couple weeks so maybe it's being rolled into that if they're announcing a switch port

edit: either that or the enhanced P5 has a female joker route so they have to hide the smash joker until they reveal that

There’s some stuff that feels like it’s just unavoidable to not know about even if you’ve never watched it. I never watched twilight but I somehow know the entire story and also that Kirsten Stewart is the main actress and dated her costar

I am not American and don’t watch sports but I’ve heard of tom Brady enough to figure out he’s important ball throw man

My parents never watched game of thrones and are aware it’s coming back soon and that the main character is Jon Snow, who is coming

Definitely Odyssey. It's a scavenger hunt and super kid-friendly. My one nephew about the same age loves playing the boss rushes on the moon.

Wait for Crash Team Racing in June, or Grid Autosport ("Summer" 2019). Eden Games basically crashed and burned after the Test Drive Unlimited games. Gear Club is a mobile port on steroids with an unstable 30 fps. :sigh:

It’s definitely closer to 3 in level theme design. It still a good game, best of the New games, but Tropical Freeze is better.
