Are Todd's video's longer than last years or is he splitting up his top 10 list this year because of add revenue?

He explicitly said on twitter it was for Ad Revenue.

Reading their twitter stuff, the BroTeamPill guy comes off as a tool, even if he does have a point. Joe was apparently away from his computer, but he shouldn't have just grabbed a random image off the internet either.

Okay so I thought it was like 1 hour between him sending the email and filing the claim, but apparently it was like 5, so less of a tool than it looked, but yeah.

I don't know anything about games because I'm horrible but I thought Other M was the American version and people were upset because those filthy gaijin ruined a good series. Or have I mistaken that for Silent Hill/Resident Evil? Or all of the above? Anyway Sucker Punch is still a godawful movie.

Other M was the Japanese version for Japanese people (didn't even sell well there). The lauded Metroid Prime was the American version.

Apparently the wooden voice was a directive from Sakamoto (as was the only-wii remote controls).

Sakamoto was the creator of Metroid. He wasn't just some schlub that Nintendo put on.

This was a fun watch! I actually vaguely remember a Mary-Kate and Ashley movie being shown at my cousin's house when I was a kid (she was all excited about it, and I was visiting for her birthday I want to say). I don't remember making it through 20 minutes before I wasn't paying attention anymore, and I was like 7 at the time.

I'd like to point out how great it was that, after this treatise, Orson Welles took a role as a villain in a children's cartoon designed to sell toys. These are always great to watch, and always make me think.

EVERYTHING IN THIS VIDEO IS A WHOLE DECADE OLD, ACCEPT IT. :negative:

You mentioning Beck in that video, by a weird association (partially through one of your old videos) had me listening to Pikachu's Goodbye again. Did you know that Andrew Rannells was James in Pokemon Live? (yes, this post was just an excuse to post that factoid)

I watched Elfen Lied on recommendation from a friend. I no longer took his recommendations, which was partly why it took me a few years to watch so many anime I now call favorites because the guy who thought I'd like Elfen Lied recommended it.

My general recommendation for people who don't watch is FMA or Ouran, depending on what they're looking for. Two of my favorites, and definitely the two of my favorites that don't rely on other people seeing other shows/trends.

That was a read. I believe the expression is "Never meet your heroes, kids."

The movie's great, and it's even greater reading about its troubled production history. I really need to do a Movie Nights on it. Best part is when Hasselhoff for no reason starts singing Hooked on a Feeling in the middle of an interview.

Does anyone know anything about the 'Empowered' comic? I remember bumping into it briefly before and writing it off as some creepy dude's excuse to indulge his latex/exhibitionism kink (much like El Goonish Shive does w/transformation). Right now I'm at work and I'm afraid to google it.

It began as a bunch of fetish commissions that the author got, and his reaction to them. He takes a joke character designed for bondage and thought about how such a character would actually exist. Or something like that.

It's not a great comic, but I enjoy it for what it is.

The early volumes are 100% cheesecake, but around volume 4 he starts experimenting with longer, more persistent characters. Around the time Mindf__k is introduced.

What I wonder is though, who would play Dash in a hypothetical Shadows movie or standalone film? Mid 90's Kurt Russell was the perfect choice, as seen in the portrait above, but we're 20 years out from that now.

Stephen Amell.

If you'd like to know MY opinion on why I wasn't sold on it, I reviewed it!

You know what film this review reminded me of, entirely arbitrarily?

There was a Made-for-TV movie about Gay Marriage called Wedding Wars I saw when it came out in 2006. It was funny, but I don't intend to rewatch it to find out if it holds up.

My main is Cassie because I enjoy punching people in the dick so hard their head flies off. It helps that Johnny was my favorite character in the story of the earlier games, and I'm glad his daughter is as fun as him.

Also her second fatality is the best fatality in the game.

I picked up the audiobook for Verily, A New Hope, and I highly recommend it, because they did all the stuff they do for regular Star Wars audiobooks, having the voice modulation for the characters who need it and the sound effects and whatnot. It's practically an audio play!
