Mystery Science Theater 3000: One of the most underappreciated shows in TV history.

In 1988, KTMA, a low budget UHF station in Minneapolis, needed some content to fill in their schedule. A local comedian named Joel Hodgson got in touch with his idea to create a TV show making fun of bad movies.    and thus was born Mystery Science Theater 3000.   The concept of the show was simple: take, say, a horror host like the Crypt Keeper. then instead of him just introducing what you watched... watch it WITH you, making jokes and comments, an idea known as Riffing.

Day 3: Just make something up, they won't notice.

I'm pretty sure it's fair to say Santa is one of the most frequently depicted characters in media. Everyone knows him, everyone has a general idea of how everything about him works. Elves, North Pole, reindeer... ect...   Strange as it might seem, this is a relatively modern phenomenon. Other cultures had their own gift givers. In Mexico, it was the Three Kings (AKA the Magi and Three Wise Men). So todays feature is a bit... odd.   Simply titled "Santa Claus", it was released

Day 2: another day, another CGI nightmare.

The greatest mark of quality in fiction is "Verisimilitude", how realistic, how believable the story your telling is. The tag line to the first of the Richard Donner "Superman" films is "You'll believe a man can fly" for that very reason. Donner wanted to approach the movie in such a way from a cinematographic angle that you would believe everything you saw on screen.    The greatest sin in fiction is being so god awful you can't build Verisimilitude to begin with...   Rapsit

Day 1 of a new Series: 25 Days of Terrible Christmas Specials and Movies

Wow... dusty in here... Hello folks. If your 2020 sucked, add "having to constantly care for a 92 year old near vegetable of a grandfather every day" and you basically had mine.    I need this holiday... But let's be honest, I can be a glutton for punishment. So I'm going to be spending the next 25 days looking at the worst Christmas shows I can find (La la la)   Whelp, it's December 1st. The first... Being the first is important. It's the beginning, the start.... It's also t

I'm expanding this to general pop culture so I can complain about a Disney+ movie

For reasons that are long and complicated, my family already has it's Christmas tree up. Long Story short, my sister is having issues with depression and anxiety.    While we were putting the tree together, my sister switched on Disney+ and started their new, original Christmas movie.   Titled "Noelle", it stars Anna Kendrick and Bill Hader, with Shirley MacLaine and Julie "Does anyone know how to fly a plane" Hagerty as "Mrs. Claus"    Spoilers (but then again

Characterization, why keeping it consistent will make or break you.

As I note in my signature, I write. I have an Agents of Shield fan series that’s getting well into the six hundred page range.   and I constantly rewatch the show on Netflix to try to keep the characterization consistent. (That and the fact I’m head over heels in love with Chloe Bennet).   the reason being is that a character needs to be consistent in their presentation, otherwise they stop being the same character and you loose the immersion of the story.   (My sto

Tales of androgyny game over list (updated regularly)

So... I bit the bullet and backed the creators on Patreon.   So, how many ways can you fail at this game?   i’ve seen Stealth games with fewer Game Over conditions.   so far...   Ghost Bride (2 ways) lose to her in combat, she posses you and you two spend the rest of your days the fuck slave of a group of bandits. (Has a non-standard game over screen)   accept her marriage proposal and you will have an eternal wedding night.   inn

Tales of Androgyny (the NSFW RPG of my girly dreams)

Yes, this game deals with "trap" and femboys and futa and stuff like that. Not your thing? I don't care.       so, anyway, I think this game might require a timer. If I play too long, my girl cock might stay stiff too long and I've going to have a lot of explaining to do at the hospital...   User "Sometallbloke" posted about this in the Hentai games section and I just had to check it out.    "Tales of Androgyny" is a fantasy RPG centered around a young fem

The worst game I’ve ever played.

Tie ins are basically a given with every popular media brand.    Games, books, toys, movies, TV shows. If it sells, slap it on anything and everything.   It’s been that way for ages. Probably one of the most important was a windup Mickey Mouse handcar made by Lionel trains as a cheep option to keep the company afloat during the depression era, drawing on the popularity of Mickey Mouse and helping cement him into the public consciousness.   i remember when Yugioh fir

Why the first Marvel cartoon was the worst Marvel cartoon

https://youtu.be/y8XL99rL6Gc   I’m a Marvel Comics fangirl. I like spending my free time watching Marvel shows and movies...   and let let me tell you, the first time they licensed thier characters for TV... I’m surprised anyone did it in the future.   ”The Marvel Super Heroes” aired in first run syndication from September 1st to December 1st, 1966. (One year before the Hanna Barbera produced “Fantastic Four” debuted”   Each episode featured 3 seven minute

My Favorite Marvel Team: The Exiles.

What do you get when you mix Sliders, Quantum Leap and Marvel?   Interdimensional hijinks with incredible consequences, that's what.   "Exiles" got it's start in 2001, written by Judd Winick with art by Mike McKone. It began with mostly character who were alternate universe versions of not so promienet X-Men (though the character who basically became the book's star, Blink, was from "Age of Apocalypse".   They were brought together by the "Time Broker" a being who i

My user name... FOR GREAT JUSTICE!

So... I bet you're wondering "She has a weird user name, even for a trans girl."   The thing is... I'm a geek first. Yeah I lie in bed dreaming about a handsome prince sweeping me off my feet or a beautiful woman to make sweet lesbian love with... but my first passion is my geeky hobbies.   And one of the most important things to me is Tokusatsu.   "What's that?" I pretend to hear you ask...   "Tokusatsu" is the Japanese term for programs that use practica

Kerbal Space Program, Reaching for the Stars from South of the Border

"We Choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard..." -President John F. Kennedy, Speech at Rice University, September 12, 1962.   Simulation games live and die by how well they preform their tasks. Too simple, you're not going to retain your audience who want a challenge. Too hard, you're not going to get an audience to begin with (save maybe some gluttons' for punishment with deep pockets...

Civilzation VI: Gathering Storm

Just...One...More...Turn...   Jesus H. Christ, this franchise should be a controlled substance... I turn on my game to get one screen shot and I end up playing for hours...   "Gathering storm" is the most recent expansion for the Civilization series, adding in possibly the most interesting feature the franchise has ever had, dynamic maps with weather and natural disasters.   In order to simulate rising sea levels caused by climate change, the system will convert lan

Planet Coaster OR "what happens when you actually care about your product"

I've always had a soft spot for strategy and simulation games. By the time I was in Junior High, along came Roller Coaster Tycoon and I was in love.   One of my many, many hobbies is theme parks and their history. I've ridden every major US Disney coaster built prior to 2015 (last time I was at a Disney park) with the exception of California's Space Mountain (not for lack of trying, but for lack of the damn thing working. I was in Disneyland for five days and EVERY time I went near it,

When an Indie does a better job than AAA Part 1 (Cities: Skylines)

When I was a little kid, one of the first PC games I ever played that was not "kiddy" in nature (IE not edutainment) was Sim City 2000. The way my mother tells it I would end up crying. Hey, you would two if you had a fire emergency and rioters had just destroyed your fire station.   But I loved it and as time went by and new sequels came along, I got them as well. I lost track of how many hours I spent on Sim City 4. Then came the news in 2013 there would be a new one.   And

Never had a Blog before/Tetris 99

Wow... Um... Hi there...   I’m Ashley and yes, I'm a trans woman.   So anyway... Tetris 99 is literally the best thing I've played in a long, long time.    I went in saying "hey, it's free..." and now I can't put my Switch down. I'd walk around the house playing if my Wi-Fi worked a little better, but there are areas it cuts out in. That and I really don't want to run the risk of tripping over a cat and breaking my Switch.   I haven't won yet, but I've got
