On this weeks bombcat, I can't tell if Brad is deliberately trolling Rorie or not. There's 3-4 times in there where he starts to talk about something someone else just said as if he hadn;t heard them. Most of them Rorie.
Usually it'd be Rorie doing the whole repeating just discussed things shtick.

Cline seems like the kinda dude that complains about how women don't like nice guys and think the greatest expression of hip-hop is nerdcore.
I now know why Mario makes the noises that he makes in games, because they are the noises that a person like Abby involuntarily makes when trying to play a difficult platformer.

They got the author of The Da Vinci Code on the Bombcast? I mean, sure, his star has faded a bit, but that's cool. At least he probably won't drop unannounced ending spoilers for a game that has been out for less than a month like Peter Brown.
(I actually like when Peter is on, but that NieR Automata thing really sucked and I'm glad people warned me ahead of time.)

Ignore the fact that like three of the four bands he lists there are actually from the 70s, he does his big I Love The 80s masturbation page and somehow doesn't even mention 80s rap

Finished the Bombcast today. I knew Jason had had a rough time growing up, but I don't think I realized how rough until he hinted at and even outright stated some of the shit he had to deal with as a kid.

This seems sort of like a mean assumption about a dude because he wrote a book about how much he likes the 80s and weird easter eggs. But hey I enjoyed the book, it's a fun quick read.
Dan's love of Wal-Mart and total resistance when it was suggested that maybe he look into that a bit was kind of amazing, in a horrifying way.
Every time Dan says a thing, there are people in this thread who are like "Yeah, right on!" so I can't imagine he is alone in the not eating vegetables or fruit thing.

They're not saying that because of RP1, they're saying it because of his extremely gross spoken word poetry.

Yeah. Not to belabor the Ernest Cline/Ready Player One shit too much more, but don't misunderstand me -- an unrepentant species of uberdork -- as dunking on a dude for being a nerd who wrote pieces of nostalgia bait or anything. I'm the type of motherfucker that has several gigs of synthwave music on their phone right the fuck now, jesus christ.
But when you proudly publish sexist shit badly objectifying women, the exact kind of shit that isn't uncommon among nerdy spaces, imma gonna extrapolate from that.
Hey maybe he has grown since he wrote that stuff in his late 20s. Cool. Forget what I said about a dude raking in that Spielburg chedder.
Vinny having to walk away at the Yoshi section cracked me up. I had to pause the video for a solid 10 seconds, just laughing.

I mean it's entirely possible that under the direction of someone like Spielberg the film adaptation could turn out to be more sincere and measured in tone
Obviously, depending on the way the script writers read the source material

Also, all of those nostalgic references can be quick visual castoffs or easter eggs, where in a book, you're having to describe them, especially if you assume the reader doesn't necessarily have the same frame of reference as you. I enjoyed the book as a popcorn, summer, sittin' on the porch sippin' lemonade kinda book. However, I'm not defending Cline and his misogyny or vapid nostalgia.
People edit the Star Wars prequels cuz they like the old ones. If you don't like RP1 you just...don't like it. You have no emotional connection to make you want to change it

I watched that trailer and I have no idea what that movie is supposed to be about or why I should care.
Every time Dan says a thing, there are people in this thread who are like "Yeah, right on!" so I can't imagine he is alone in the not eating vegetables or fruit thing.
I've got a friend who basically just eats meat and cheese and sometimes bread as a vessel for said meat and cheese. We were in Las Vegas for EVO a few years back and we went to a Chinese resturant - he ordered Beef & Broccoli but told them to hold the Broccoli. He's also literally afraid of mustard - like you can't even put a bottle near him.
I don't even think Dan is afraid of mustard, he just doesn't like it. Even his angry pickle rant immediately went from threatening to punch Vinny to maybe wanting to try pickles

It's a separate argument, but I enjoyed the prequels for what they are. I'm of the mind that there is a lot of fluff that could be excised but there are plenty of things that make them enjoyable for me, and the prequel settings inspired a whole world of creators just as easily as the original trilogy did, so they had to have done something right.
Likewise, I'm not wholly against blatant nostalgia plays on principle. From people's opinions it seems like this novel leans towards the Fanfiction.net excess of the scale, but films like Wreck-It-Ralph proved nostalgia plays can be readily done with the right amount of self-control

I'd love if Abby somehow ends up victorious in Steal My Sunshine in spite of her betting away all her Shines whenever she gets one.
It would be the most Mario Party karmic moment if she draws the swap gumball at the end and takes Dan's.

Not knowing anything about Ready Player One beside what I saw in that trailer it looks like fanservice for gamers by way of a scenario in which gamers must use their leet skillz to SAVE THE WORLD.

like, a specific fruit or vegetable, sure.
i would totally believe that most people don't eat many fruits and vegetables on their own and mostly just eat them mixed with other things
No, any fruit or vegetables.
