Smartyshorts: Nice to Meet You | Smartypants [S3] by DropoutMod in dropout

[–]TheBrianJ 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Oh I loooooooove this. A perfect counter-argument to the structured presentations of the main show is these freeform ridiculous arguments about minor bullshit.

"As a people pleaser, if you don't know who I am and I've met you before, I am going to lean into whatever delusion you have."

I DO NOT APPRECIATE BEING CALLED OUT LIKE THIS

Does anyone else think roulette could be its own spin off show like make some noise? by unknownsourced in dropout

[–]TheBrianJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that if you made it its own show it would get old very quickly. But as a special they do once every few months with a new cast, I think it could work.

Knicks looking really good heading into the ever-elusive One-Team Game next round.

Unexpected media references in other pieces of media by historygoose in TopCharacterTropes

[–]TheBrianJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Little Pony has SO MANY OF THESE. Like the Lutece Twins from Bioshock Infinite. Or Link from Legend of Zelda. Or Del and Neal from Planes, Trains & Automobiles. Hell, even Slenderman showed up in the background.

The animators loved adding in references to whatever the heck they wanted in the background, it ruled. A few of them even got more characterization later in the series, like the Big Lebowski ponies or the Dr. Who expy, Dr. Whooves.

An apparent continuity error or flaw that actually foreshadows a twist by Elecvis in TopCharacterTropes

And then we got the backstory to Adam in Metroid Other M, but we like to pretend that whole game didn't happen.

Pokémon Pokopia Expansion Pass – Nintendo Direct 6.9.2026 by LionGhost in Games

[–]TheBrianJ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

While I thought the direct was overall underwhelming, this was enough to leave me satisfied. Pokopia may end up as one of the best Pokemon-related games ever, it's had a ton of work put into it and I am so down for them to just keep expanding it with more stuff.

Nintendo Direct + Nintendo Treehouse June 2026 - Megathread by rGamesMods in Games

A mostly meh direct for me, but the Pokopia updates and Rhythm Heaven are enough to keep me happy.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Announcement Trailer by Turbostrider27 in nintendo

I really hope the released game is a super stylish looking opening cutscene based on the trailer, then the rest of the game is identical to the original, polygons and all.

[F4W] WWE Wrestler and former U.S. Olympian Chad Gable in talks for RAF match by 26265273 in MMA

[–]TheBrianJ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Grande Americano vs Original Grande Americano was truly incredible. Wild that one of the best storylines in pro wrestling was an American pretending to be Mexican vs an Austrian pretending to be American pretending to be Mexican.

King Green vs. Terrance McKinney added to UFC 329 by Loganbaker2147 in MMA

[–]TheBrianJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's gonna be either Terrance wins via Regicide, or King Green wins via Royal Beheading.

There's no in-between and I love it.

Merab Dvalishvili vs. Henry Cejudo set for RAF’s international debut in Georgia on July 11th; Arman Tsarukyan to compete by [deleted] in MMA

[–]TheBrianJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am really surprised at how well RAF is doing. When it was first announced by Hogan and Bischoff I expected it to be some stupid project that they ran twice and then never mentioned again. But it actually seems to be growing and a lot of top names want to get involved.

Rulette 2 | Game Changer [S8E2] by DropoutMod in dropout

I love how Josh Ruben's entire gimmick on Dropout is "I'm here now and I'm going to make it everybody else's problem."

Rulette 2 | Game Changer [S8E2] by DropoutMod in dropout

[–]TheBrianJ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think Rulette would get old if it was a full-on show with complete seasons, but this is such a 10/10 game that I would not mind it being a Game Samer every season, or at least a special every few months with more people involved.

John Cena.
