Deathbots on the NES is easily the worst game I've ever beaten and I will never have to think about this question.

What's the worst game you finished/rolled credits on?

(games media folks, it can't be something you were assigned to review; this has to be something you subjected yourself to of your own free will)

A phone number popped in my head a bit ago. Oh geez! Who have I forgotten? Why can I not remember whose it is?

After a bit of thinking I realized it was the phone number of the jackass math teacher coach we'd prank call in high school. It's good to remember the important things.

I recall some people getting upset at a few of the updated enemy names in the Mario RPG remake, even on things like fixing an untranslated name (Yaridovich->Speardovich) or continuing the boss name theme instead of referencing an 80 year old song (Mack->Claymorton). No tears for Neosquid though

Can confirm that gaming has given me a baby brain.

At a showing of Perfect Blue I just saw, a bunch of losers started riffing on the movie DURING THE CLIMAX. I was about to jump back five rows and take them down for not showing the movie the proper reverence and respect it deserves.

Hold on, this reminds me of a movie...

Why does an order of chicken tendies at the theater cost a dollar more than a bag of popcorn? What the heck

Who would pay 5 bucks for a box of buncha crunch? And here I wondered what I'd been missing out on the last few years not going to a movie

More UFO 50 when I get out of the shower. Maybe Divers idk. I don't have many games left! Or rock on island, but I suck at it!

I tried those BIG reese's PB&J cups. And they made me feel totally gross. Now I'm upset that I didn't buy them because then I'd march right into wal-mart and demand my money back.

Why would you even sell your stuff if you think the rapture is coming soon? By your own logic you're not going to need the money.

I hate watching Miramax movies, because if it's good I'll be satisfied and then get jumpscared when the credits pop up.

And even if they're genuine, I just simply don't trust anything I read anymore.

Looking for information sucks online now. Search engines are completely useless. I look up a simple question about cooking or whatever and all of the results are sites I've never heard of but are obviously AI-written "blogs" that have a zillion pages that only exist for SEO.

I love the "pay what you want" things. I don't want to spend money on something, so I don't!

But I also think the creators deserve to be paid so I don't download it at all.

For the past 5 years, the few times I've gotten sick my first thought is always "Oh no I've finally caught it" until I realize that stuffy/runny nose, nonstop sneezing, headaches, or nausea aren't even remotely symptoms.

Thank god I decided to watch Amelie today. Had I not watched her talking to her landlady I would have forgotten to pay rent entirely lol

The MGS board game continues to impress me with its bosses: this time Vulcan Raven also being a good representation of the feeling of the fight in the original game.

I am outraged that I came home from work with a sore throat that I most certainly didn't have this morning. If I'm sick the entire next two weeks because I volunteered to go in today to clean things up before my time off, I swear I'm going to flip out

I always thought the people on the Batman Forever poster were in a bobsled or something

It's always a pleasure when you watch a movie on a whim and it ends up being really great.

Oops I meant to start streaming UFO 50 a while ago but I got distracted. Going live now

Love the AI feature youtube has that will tell you what the video is about, i.e. uses several sentences to convey the exact same information already given by the video's title.
