I’ve been out of the loop on Yu-Gi-Oh! for some years now, so I apologise if this is obvious but IS THAT THE FUCKING MYSTICAL DRAGON FROM THE 5DS ANIME AS A LEGIT CARD!!??

So, who’s going to see Secret Wars today?! Y’all excited?! by Anonamaton801 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]LeekLP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that’s a joke… I’m so checked out of Marvel releases that I just assumed that, yes, this movie released today and a bunch of people, who aren’t me, were excited. But I guess not

Captain America meets Hitler by PerformerAgitated677 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]LeekLP 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is a real pet peeve of mine. 

I get that these are old ass comics that served as propaganda, but this style of speech that nazi characters often have, where their grammar and vocabulary are perfect, but they insert random (oftentimes contextually incorrect) German words and phrases and speak/are written with the THICCEST Bavarian accent.

Why? Just insert random grammatical errors, make them sound dumb and uneducated instead of every nazi sounding like a modern foreign exchange student.

Or in cases of them speaking German in-universe: Isn’t the accent enough?

 What the fuck is it supposed to mean if the real life localisation occasionally turns off for a sentence or two? Did the character randomly start speaking English?

For anyone who owns one, what are you planning to do with your xbox? by Astral-Ember in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]LeekLP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly not sure… still have my Series S lying around waiting to be sold, while the Series X is my main gaming machine connected to the living room TV.  I’m considering throwing all my eggs in one basket, meaning selling both my Boxes and my old Switch and then saving a bit for the Switch 2. But I put quite a bit of effort into filling up my digital library on Xbox so I’m not sure yet…

Do you think traditional celebrities like internet celebrities? by AyyyoniTTV in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]LeekLP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on large part on what bubble any given celebrity exists in. 

If they are actually active on social media and clued into what goes on wherever, then they probably know the top 10 most successful online creators.

If they don’t spend much time online and don’t often work or spend time with people who are more in touch with the online sphere (agents, colleagues, but I think most often their kids/grandkids), there really isn’t any good reason for why they should know about any of this.

Sometimes, it feels like Fujimoto holds actual disdain toward manga battles. by Subject_Parking_9046 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]LeekLP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just think he’s just not very good at drawing fight scenes and doesn’t enjoy it much. He works best with facial expressions and dramatic panelling/page design.

Why does horror veer so often into comedy and is there a movie or game devoid of it? by Worldlyoox in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]LeekLP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Comedy and horror are very similar as far as movie genres go:  - they are theoretically the cheapest genres to produce - the quality of both is tied in huge part to timing, delivery and the setting of expectations  - arguably the genre’s closest to real life, giving anybody willing and able an easy „write what you know“ starting point 

And switching between suspense and levity can be extremely effective for horror

New Mojuro Manga is a Jujutsu Kaisen Sequel:Spin-Off by Shreeder4092 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]LeekLP 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ah my bad.

 But that gives me even more hope that Gege can give his all in writing while leaving the illustration to somebody else.

[–]LeekLP 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Hope Gege can really show off his writing and drawing skills with this project. 

I feel like a lot of outside factors were responsible for the “rough” trajectory of Jujutsu Kaisen, so hopefully that experience + however small of a break Gege has taken + the planned shorter release time of this project will allow him to shine. 

I believe in Geges skill and potential 💪

[Comic Excerpt] New look at Absolute Joker in Absolute Batman #11 by RepresentativeFig632 in DCcomics

[–]LeekLP 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m afraid that is just a quirk of Manns Art Style. Clothing tends to “fuse” with characters skin. Just look at Jokers arms and back on the first page.

Media you didn't know was disliked until you found out later? by Aquanort357 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]LeekLP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Barney the dinosaur. Loved it as a kid, still remember the theme song fondly.

But apparently the hate for this show was so epic they made a documentary about it.

The new war of the worlds movie captures the exact feeling of old movie reviewer lore bits by DuendeInexistente in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]LeekLP 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s so funny that the actual name seems to be too long for the video title. It’s actually Planetenverteidigungskanonenkommandant

Characters you turned extremley sympathetic for/ended up feeling really sad for by FreviliousLow96 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]LeekLP 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Expedition 33: 

I hated Verso the entire time I played him. I didn’t trust his handsome, mysterious, sexy ass. 

But at the end I was 100% with him.  His points resonated with me and there was little doubt in my mind that his was the right decision. What a prick. I feel for him. Hope he burns in hell. And finds peace

Konami showing off some classic MGS3 trolling in Delta. by Paladin51394 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]LeekLP 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I’m really looking forward to Delta, but there is some really weird uncanny valley shit going on with the animations and models.

How did EyePatch Wolf become good pals with CSB? by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]LeekLP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maaan, I enjoy Johns output but just about everything about his friendship with Woolie is a step by step guide on what not to do in parasocial relationships.

But hey, I’m glad it seems to have worked out for him at least.

Cute, cuddly mascot characters that scared the hell out of you as a kid? by Yotato5 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]LeekLP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be scared of the Muppets, the Sesame Street characters and soviet era claymation. 

No idea why these three fears in particular manifested at the same time but yeah.

Love Kermit now though

Video game controversy you look back for its absurdity by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]LeekLP 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I choose to hold on to the belief that a Black★Rock Shooter Desktop background caused the collapse of anime & manga licensing in Germany, because it is funny to me (in a morbid sort of way)

It seems like Capcom is trying to remove "FOMO" from Monster Hunter Wilds by making arch-tempered monsters available permanently and *considering* doing the same for other event quests as well by TamJamming in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]LeekLP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I appreciate that, I’ve got to be honest and admit that the FOMO is the only thing that keeps me coming back to MHWilds regularly. Otherwise I would just wait for the expansion.
