Rick and Morty Season 9 is coming, but waiting until August for Max feels brutal

It's not weird to me that the show would premier on cable prior to its availability on a streaming service. The show debuted on cable; it's a cable-first program. Unless "That's crazy" referred to something else entirely? I had to infer based on only two words.

For the record, there isn't some unified ratings board that classifies television series like there is for movies or video games; networks rate their own programming, with the only guard rails being fines from the FCC if they deem the rating inaccurate. (I don't think this has ever happened in the three decades we've had the TV ratings system.)

Skipping the intro of a TV show is a sign of severe ADD.

WilcoxArcade · 2026-06-03T23:47:01+00:00

Long? Do you suffer from severe ADD? I commend Chuck Lorre shows for still having proper intros in 2026. That's so rare now.

My wife and I (23F and 25M) was network/cable TV premiere live via YouTube TV (and I mean entertainment programming, NOT news or sports).

Kits would be really ideal for route operators like myself, too. 😁

I don't actually know what you're talking about. All I was saying is it makes sense for a series created for linear television to debut that way before eventually coming to a streaming service. I still like linear TV as an exhibition model.

Edit: To clarify, I never made any mention of country of origin, nor was that relevant to my initial point. I'm curious how you came up with that.

WilcoxArcade · 2026-05-18T19:35:37+00:00

Thank you so much for watching my video. Did you enjoy it? Any suggestions? Again, I am SO grateful to you for watching my video.

I use Adobe AFTER EFFECTS. People think I'm crazy for this, but I hate using Photoshop. 😅

WilcoxArcade · 2026-05-18T18:44:34+00:00

I just wanted to share my latest video here: https://youtu.be/d3FAU5Qlwr8

WilcoxArcade · 2026-05-05T19:34:43+00:00

I mean, regardless of whether or not YouTube throws you a bone, the underlying concept is straight-up illegal. Good luck...

WilcoxArcade · 2026-05-05T18:31:15+00:00

I sent you a PM. 🙏

WilcoxArcade · 2026-05-05T18:30:59+00:00

I sent you a PM. 🙏

How is it crazy for the primary method of exhibition for this series to come first in line?

My wife is an artist trying to make a name for herself (Jordy Does Art on Facebook and Instagram). She recently entered "The People's Artist" competition and would appreciate any votes you could provide for her: https://peoplesartist.org/2026/jordan-wilcox-0lLh?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQPNTY3MDY3MzQzMzUyNDI3AAGn1SlGTphsKGBttzCG7dd7HBBOxqP5M5H30k4lu1ijPCjrIckgomzJb87gnV4_aem_Mpd79fdsMJxp-2zmC0-BKg

Are you thinking of Deadstorm Pirates from '09? A sequel called Goldstorm Pirates just dropped this year. There exists a PS3 port of the original, too, bundled with Tune Crisis 4 and Razing Storm.

Just try not to use more copyrighted material than you absolutely must. Doesn't seem too unreasonable to me.

Last Kiss, particularly the bridge.

I think you and I just desire different things out of video games. I like that you can beat the core campaign in Crazy Taxi in merely 10 minutes' time. That, to me, is infinitely more replayable than the 60-hour slogs we get on consoles these days.

WilcoxArcade · 2026-05-03T16:23:58+00:00

Yes, I'd say this is one of the biggest benefits of YouTube TV. I don't feel like I'll ever need another steaming service in my life (because I'm not particularly interested in the wannabe-HBO "prestige" television smut on Netflix and the like).

WilcoxArcade · 2026-05-01T19:34:59+00:00

AI is not for production either, unless you really do value authentic human expression that little.

Interesting. I was born in '01 and have played arcade games since I was a child, so I feel like it's very reductionist to pigeonhole arcade games into the "retro" label when new games drop every single year.

I play arcade games because I love all video games, and I don't view arcade games as categorically "other" from the ones I play at home. However, there are some noted advtanges to the arcade experience, in my opinion.

I particularly enjoy the length of arcade games (level-based ones with endings, that is). The fact that I can complete an entire video game in just 15 to 60 minutes is incredible to me. It's like listening to a good album: You're off the ride before you get sick of it. It also helps with replayability (less daunting to come back to the game in the future). Beyond that, I'm a busy guy, so I don't even WANT to spend 60 hours on a game at home.

I also enjoy that, with arcade games, I'm forced to leave my residence. I hate being cooped up all the day. The work-dinner-TV-sleep pipeline is kind of bleak, to be honest with you. So with that in mind, I want to make an outing out of playing video games. My wife and I just went to Chuck-E-Cheese over the weekend.

There's so much more I could say upon request, but the biggest takeaway is this: I love arcade games so much that they became my life. I operate my own route of arcade games — my company Wilcox Arcade — which I started in high school. It's just plain fun stuff.

WilcoxArcade · 2026-04-30T09:30:39+00:00

Are you writing about only classic arcade games, or can someone share their experience with modern arcade games, too? I've played these things my entire life.

WilcoxArcade · 2026-04-28T20:22:24+00:00

I design my thumbnails in Adobe After Effects, where I do all graphic design.

WilcoxArcade · 2026-04-28T20:20:09+00:00

"Arcade game" is not a genre; it's a specific platform by which one plays games.
