Nintendo expecting Switch to outsell the Wii U in only a fucking year
The Nintendo Switch is selling like goddamn gangbusters. You already know that, don’t you? You’re also not surprised, since Nintendo dropped two of the best games in years on the console in the same year. But, do you understand just how fucking well it is selling? Here’s some context.
‘The Last of Us 2’ Trailer: In Case You Forgot How Brutal The Original Was, Here You Go
New The Last of Us Part II trailer dropped yesterday, and, well. You’ve probably already seen it, given that I’m posting this mad late. But if you haven’t? Steel yourself. It’s as brutal as the original game, maybe even more so given that the violence is out of context.
‘The Flash’ standalone movie depending on success of ‘Justice League’ so good luck with that
I know it may actually sound fairly optimistic for me, but I have no idea how good Justice league will be. This is optimistic for me, since I was calling it a certifiable turd bouquet nine months ago. But, then Joss Whedon took over. Is the movie going to be good? No fucking idea. But the Flash movie apparently really hopes so.
‘Shazam’ movie casts Zachary Levi in lead role. This is so dumb, but worse things have worked
Zachary Levi has been cast as Shazam, and I ain’t thrilled. Ain’t got time for the dude. For better worse. Eminently punchable face. Loosely and unfairly reminds me of that other dicklord fraud, Chris Hardwick. But with that emotional, poorly constructed diatribe at out of the way, I’ll tell you this. Seemingly worse casting decisions have worked out. Here’s hoping.
Scientists discover interstellar object flying through our solar system. Aliens taking a peek at our calamities, if you ask me
In a pretty bad ass moment for astronomy, scientists have discovered an interstellar object hurtling through our solar system. It’s the fuckin’ first, dude.
Views From The Space-Ship: Television is reality, and reality is less than television
Hey, comrades. How are you doing? A bit blanched by the banality of existence? A bit staggered by the Sisyphean grind that is consciousness? Well, how about I offer you a little distracting voyeurism? After all, that’s the point of Desktop Thursdays.
A look into my life! My existential, digital, and meat-case vibes.
Then, if you’re so inclined, provide me with a little material in the comments section. An escape for me through your own world(s).
Tom Hanks starring in sci-fi movie ‘Bios’ by a ‘Game of Thrones’ director. Remember Tom Hanks?
Man, I haven’t given a fuck about Tom Hank in a hot, quiet minute. But, I suppose the dude still exists. Not only that, but said-forgotten-and-now-remembered actor is starring in a movie helmed by one of the more prominent Game of Thrones directors.
Weekend Open Bar: And I Want My Scalps!
It’s the Weekend! It’s the Open Bar. Arriving not a moment too soon, too. For some reason, it’s been a long goddamn week. That ain’t a rhetorical opener, either. Don’t know why, but this week has run me ragged. The good news, oh the good news, is that I have two fucking weddings lined up to really put the nail through my emotional skull. But, I can’t complain too much. The weekend is stacked with merriment, outside of the culturally produced, economically encouraged social obligations.
I got scalps on my mind! Nazi-hunting on my mind. Got some (wait for) stranger things on my mind too, involving the 1980s and Lovecraftian monsters.
So, all in all, I suppose I ain’t too despondent about the weekend.
Walmart using shelf-scanning robots to audit its stores. This is how it fucking begins, dudes
This is how it fucking begins, man. First the robots are scanning shelfs, auditing them. Next thing you know they’re scanning us, auditing our worth. And oh, by the way, you’d probably notice our worth as a fact-denying, bloated, hateful corpulence isn’t that high right now. Their first strike fixing to be justified, the rate we’re going.
