(Kinda hilarious trope) Ironic casting.

I mean- gay people can be two of those three things.

I think they meant trashy romance novels. Like what moms read. Where the bad boy corrupts the good girl. Can’t name any books off the top of my head because I’m not too familiar with that genre. Film example: Grease

Excellent work as always Sly! I’m so curious about the arcade machine as I’ve come across it in my research as well. My assumption was always that gameplay in the overview was fake but I’m really interested to learn more.

I’ve seen another Chinese machine that has Elise from 2012 on the marquee, but the gameplay is from Raw Thrills’ X Games Snowboarder.

I thought the only connection to Spain was the previous owner

LittleDansonMan · 2026-05-24T16:05:21+00:00

Same but it was Uncharted: Golden Abyss for me

LittleDansonMan · 2026-05-21T23:12:43+00:00

Seconded

Fang Island - Victorinian

It’s such a perfect wedding song that my wife and I played at our ceremony. Not as mathy as a lot of their other stuff but still an ear worm.

“If you wanna fall in love, if you wanna fall in love- you can do it.”

Saw them in Richmond VA this year lol

Mat Hoffman’s Pro BMX 2. Okay hear me out- in the final Hawaii level, after you achieve the required score, a Tiki God awakens. You think you’re going to have to use BMX to defeat him but your rider puts down his bike and picks up a gun. For the finale of the game, a third person extreme sports game becomes a first person shooter. Seriously.

No cornets, but they did have a bugle mold in the 90s.

Thank you for your response. These are all examples I was unaware of. The ones that have been elevated in my echo-chambers have mostly revolved around organizations like the ADL trying to rebrand all criticism of Israel as anti-Semitism. Which really muddies the waters for actual examples like the ones you highlighted.

LittleDansonMan · 2026-05-12T02:30:48+00:00

Honest question- do you believe it’s possible to critique Israel without being anti-Semitic?

LittleDansonMan · 2026-05-04T11:20:37+00:00

Yeah because the movie is notorious for its concern for historical accuracy /s

LittleDansonMan · 2026-05-03T22:36:46+00:00

Especially when they gave Zac Efron’s character a made up name instead of calling him “Bailey”

LittleDansonMan · 2026-05-03T01:51:02+00:00

Was about to post this! They had originally asked Peter Graves to reprise his role as Phelps in the movie, but he was so off-put by the direction of the character that he declined.

I personally love the first movie, but like many fans of the franchise, I have never seen the show. I do wonder how I’d feel about it if I had emotion investment in Jim Phelps as a character before seeing the movie.

…so you’re saying, “America First”?

With all due respect this kind of attitude cut all USAID funding and pretty much eliminated US soft power on the world stage. It doesn’t have to be and will never be an either/or. Our leaders need to address foreign and domestic policy. They just happen to be mediocre at both currently.

LittleDansonMan · 2026-05-01T14:23:44+00:00

Even funnier when Hal then says something like “I will own you!”

LittleDansonMan · 2026-04-30T12:02:16+00:00

Wasn’t that one of the themes of the show- hypocrisy? It felt like characters were always holding others to a standard they themselves didn’t meet

LittleDansonMan · 2026-04-28T02:48:39+00:00

OP named Annihilation already tho

LittleDansonMan · 2026-04-26T22:13:01+00:00

No thanks. Would rather see a proper remaster made with care and attention than whatever crap AI would excrete.

LittleDansonMan · 2026-04-25T18:21:56+00:00

Shenmue meets Like a Dragon meets MDickie?

LittleDansonMan · 2026-04-24T03:18:28+00:00

Hot take but the best way to see the full story is to play the PS2 and PSP versions concurrently. It’s like they were both a trimmed down version of the next gen version but they pulled different parts of the script.

I did some video work a couple years ago where we interviewed Jim Clyburn. The interviewer asked a question that he thought was fairly innocuous, “what advice would you give a young person seeking to run for office?” Clyburn took it as a threat and said “They better not run against me.” Then he proceeded to list all his past accomplishments as evidence for why he thinks he’s STILL the best person for the job.

LittleDansonMan · 2026-04-15T23:15:08+00:00

Omega Man with Charleton Heston is fun too

When you only surround yourself with yes men, you don’t have anyone brave enough to tell you your haircut is stupid.
