I had to read The Jungle, 1984, Brave New World, Catcher in the Rye, and Anthem in high school. Out of those the last two I'm shocked are still required curriculum. I also loathed highschool whenever everyone else wouldn't shut up about Twilight, Jersey Shore, Kardashians or Hunger Games, while I was like "...But Libya!"

I never cared for South Park growing up and I still don't see it now. Granted, at 10- shocked that I was allowed to watch it- I had a I enjoy Family Guy phase for a bit.

I got more angry at the comic talk. Woolie "Marvel Comics should not have sold movie rights in order to avoid bankruptcy because it made things a bit inconvenient 20 years later, clearly a blunder." Madden and Pat (endgame spoilers) "Incapable of understanding DBZ Time Travel" Boivin.

I mean, it saved them from bankruptcy. If anything, what they shouldn't have done is exploit the speculator market until it crashed in the 90s.

They were also a comic book publisher in the 90's. Clawing out of bankruptcy is more important than future visioning that they'd get into movies somehow.

He basically said "I don't know I'm an irrelevant Youtuber maybe these 'captains of industry  ' know better". I don't know how you get that he's gushing about Tim Apple and Zuc the Robot, while calling them Tim Apple and Zuc the Robot.

It's why we don't poo poo on Platinum like we poo poo on EA. It's almost as if there is a difference between a smaller company that is in fact effectively at the behest of a larger one, and that there's a clear disparity of how much money each company has! Weird, maybe its almost like the companies that put out multi-million-dollar hits every drat year should be held more accountable than a company who almost got ratfucked into bankruptcy because another company wanted to buy them up. gently caress off.

I was about to stan woolie because of his wonderful 101 lp, but I just got to the part where he has to fill a meter to shoot a laser and he keeps trying to do the laser, unable to understand what a meter is apparently.

Pat: Heck yeah, I love to litter Also Pat: *Reasonably in-depth knowledge about the workings of nuclear power plants and nuclear waste disposal, and how even with the handful of historical disasters it's still much less environmentally harmful than carbon-based energy* In conclusion, Pat is a gnome of contrasts.
