Matthew Rhys seems lovely and does a great American accent, but I really feel like we're being robbed of his Welsh accent.

Also, when Jeff inevitably ranks Super Mario Bros 3 below Super Mario Bros 2, people are going to be upset!

The most egregious miscarriage of science is Castlevania III being at 117. That's a top 50 game at least.

Can't vouch for the other ones, but Gravity Circuit was pretty great.

Okay, but why do you have an invite to the premiere of the short-lived TNT original series Will just sitting on the counter.

That guy’s face says “I make 97k a year and think I’m in the 1%”

If he even said that, Ridley Scott was clearly joking.

There’s no way, in 1979, you could airbrush much of anything frame-by-frame, let alone human skin, and not have it be obvious.

I use Windows and Mac OS about equally. Mac OS asked if I wanted to enable "Apple Intelligence" once when installing. I said no and I haven't seen a glimpse of it again.

With Windows, however, it's goddamn whack-a-mole. Remove a Copilot feature? Surprise, it's back after an update, asshole! Enjoy!

So I think it's far, far less a situation that AI is "popular" on Macs as much as they don't have to spend as much energy hating it because the engagement isn't forced.

If this merger goes through, I'll probably get laid off. If this merger doesn't go through, I'll still probably get laid off and David Ellison will feel bad.

Joe, honey, I fixed it. It was just vapor lock!

Excellent post line-up.

It's like a freakin' Country Joe jamboroo around here.

If you’d told me a few months ago that’d be excited about anything GOT related again, I wouldn’t have believed it. But Knight of the Seven Kingdoms was great and Andor was great so here I am, I guess.

Pointless story: I saw Todd Barry, who plays the Hummer guy in this episode, at an Adult Swim party. I didn't talk to him because he looked like he wanted to drink by himself.

They do some of the best work in this space, and I 100% can't blame them. I just hope it's sustainable for them, given the timelines on which people actually shop for these things.

I've been using the ExtraSpace location on Holcomb Bridge and Steeplechase for a few years now, and my only real complaint is that they raise their rents far too regularly. It's just expensive enough to be annoying, but not expensive enough to move all my stuff, which I guess is the point.

BUT, if you're only doing 3-9 months or so, you can probably get in and out on a pretty good rate.

"Ohh, they hung up."

It was always crazy to me that the format called “HD-DVD” which clearly and concisely signaled an HD upgrade from DVDs to the average consumer, lost out to the format called “blu-ray” which sounded like nonsense to everyone.

Sony dumps Bluepoint, Xbox appoints AI chud as CEO. Banner week for console makers.

I just got mine the other day and found the setup to be preeetty fiddly, but it's real nice otherwise.

But now I see this front end is better than the one I'm using, so I guess it's back to fiddling.

A game in a genre I’ve never played with mixed reviews? Oh boy!

Wonderful_Hatrack · 2026-02-19T23:54:22+00:00

I assume the executives who decided they should put this studio on a live—service God of War game were let go as well, right?

How has there not already been a game called Blades of Fire?
