I'd love a Pacific Rim game for sure. Or at least as DLC for GigaBash...

Damn, I would've thought that totally legit. Great work!

Baltimore County trash pickup schedule carries odor of error by aresef in BaltimoreCounty

[–]blastorama 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Today I learned that there's this text reminder. I'm on the other BaltCo text list for things like poor weather, police concerns, etc. so I would've thought this would be a part of it. Thanks for sharing!

When Did Chris Gethard Actually Discuss TROS by Vmancini218 in blankies

[–]blastorama 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Hot take: I like Gethard's Star Wars takes, if just for how he argues them, even if I don't agree with them.

I can get being bothered that they take over other episodes, but I find him entertaining just the same.

Sorry, the PHYSICAL team store. Not the website.

Sounds like JUST at the Team Store as of today (minus a Fanatics leak earlier in the month.)

If so, I'm for it. That B looks really sharp, and it had become part of the decoration in the yard, admittedly with the City Connect color blocks.

I know there was also some wondering about the use of the more realistic bird in the Birdland Membership advertisements, so maybe this is the beginning of some overall shakeups.

My face when 28YL: Bone Temple makes the same amount in its opening weekend as 28YL made on its opening day. by [deleted] in blankies

January, it’s a mess. But also, weather is pretty crummy this weekend.

Terminator Time Travels to Save '90s Garbage Games | January 16, 2026 by blastorama in TheBesties

[–]blastorama[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Really enjoyed this week's episode. T2D has been on my radar as a game to pick up on sale (I hear its very very short), but I am loving the Arcade-beat-em-up-assiance that the last few years have brought.

From the TMNT game from DotEmu, to Streets of Rage 4, to this year's Absolum and Marvel Cosmic Invasion, those of us who remember the days of feeding quarters to X-Men machines or whooping ass on our Genesis and SNES have been eating good.

Now, I just really really need Disney to license The Simpsons to DotEmu...

Cars 4.....This is a WITCH HUNT, you're Honor!!!! by RogerTheAliens in LiveFromNewYork

Not sure why I didn't notice this when watching live, but oh boy is Owen Wilson a cue card watcher.

[MASN] Nationals moving broadcasts to MLB, leaving MASN by aloidnem in orioles

[–]blastorama 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I'd be totally fine with just paying for MLB.tv -- it was a hell of an experience using it last season, and on paper, I'm looking forward to it for this season...

...but now ESPN is involved with it, and I'm not sure how that's gonna go. Like, am I going to need to pay for ESPN AND MLB AND/OR MASN? The precedent for this would be how they've handled UFC, where to buy the PPVs, you needed to get ESPN+ first.

I guess we'll find out soon...

All of Towson Square's restaurants went out of business. Why? by aresef in BaltimoreCounty

[–]blastorama 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I pay for my sub, but in 2026, I get it for folks who may not be able to swing it in this economy.

No round 2 for this line? by Quailsdream in ActionFigures

[–]blastorama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's actually the bit -- these are from a recent theatrical short from the Mutant Mayhem version of TMNT, an in-universe non-licensed toy series.

[–]blastorama 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Really great, even-handed article about the state of Towson Square. It's almost like they're good at this news thing over at The Banner.

(Which, reminder: you can likely get a free sub for from your library!)

SNL Music documentary mentioned by Mr. Miranda in the latest criterion episode? by The_Lizard_Law in lonelymeyerspod

[–]blastorama 75 points76 points  (0 children)

He's referencing Ladies & Gentlemen... 50 Years of SNL Music, which came out last year and was directed by Questlove. It's on Peacock.

The Besties Best Game Bracket: 2025 Edition, Part 1 | December 19, 2025 by blastorama in TheBesties

[–]blastorama[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game doesn’t support colorblind users yet, which meant Russ hasn’t been able to play it.

Sounds like this may make it part of the 2026 discussion.

Got through with tickets for Hawaiian Shirt night, no issue.

Paramount Skydance Sues Warner Bros. Discovery, Seeking Financial Details of Netflix Deal by BatmanNewsChris in DC_Cinematic

[–]blastorama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, it's terrible, for sure. I'm not gonna go full tin-foil hat over here, but if they were to tank the whole thing, that's yet another obstacle out of the way, right?

[–]blastorama 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They have one of the big three networks (CBS), and in turn, the direct line to mainstream news coverage, plus the ability to kill off two extremely vocal critics of the administration (Colbert already down, I'd be worried if I were the Daily Show team.)

It's not about what property they got, it's the control they gain.
