I recently found out that Disney owns the cartoon "Crusader Rabbit", the literal first television cartoon, through Fox and apparently they just... don't know, or at least don't care? It's not on Disney+, and the only time Disney has ever used him was as a Funko Pop in 2020, probably a pre-buyout holdover. Like, wouldn't that be the perfect character for Disney to use for pre-nostalgia-zone merch aimed at history buffs like they do Oswald and, in the parks, Gertie the Dinosaur?

Woah, they actually did Yoshi's Story All Melons at GDQ. I had heard of that being like a big mythical meme for the event.

I really hope crossover skins like MVS' Matrix/Jason mask skins catch on in platform fighters. As a guy who chooses characters based on function instead of emotional attachment, a skin for Donatello where he has a Rocko shirt or Marth with a Duck Hunt mask would be a godsend.

I'm not saying these are valid substitutes for a new game, but it's really weird how Donkey Kong (particularly Country) fans will say "We're so starved!" when they've got a major role in one of the highest grossing movies of the year, and basically the biggest signifier of cultural relevance (sans Avatar): a devoted, major theme park land.

You know how people have kinda grown sick of "EVIL MICKEY RUNS DISNEY" satire and now want to portray him as a victim? I feel the same way towards bored monkey NFTs. It's not the funny monkeys' fault their faces are attached to an MLM. They must be released from the blockchain prison.

I may have a go at writing the Smash Ballot article, that being said, certainly not yet, and I also am struggling to think how to talk about this subject to a slightly larger audience, some of whom probably will have never as much as considered the idea of the ballot being bad, without coming off as vindictive or judgemental and without criticising any specific character picks (I will absolutely discuss the Banjo-Geno/Chief-Sephiroth disparity, which being neutral about is gonna be EXTREMELY difficult). It also might depend a bit on the nature of the application, I don't want to be giving away my email address or such.

I'm not particularly phased by the passing of time, it's sort of a personal in-joke for me that I stopped keeping track of my age somewhere in my teens, but GOD DAMN, 2 years until the 20th anniversary of the Wii?

I had always heard about the "AVGN scandal" and the TheCinemassacreTruth subreddit, and had always been a bit skeptical but never looked into it, so after watching a bit of the Dan Olsen video, noticing how mundane and trivial his criticisms (if that) of Rolfe were and how the comments were ragging on the subreddit, I decided to check out said subreddit... uhh, so all they did, all this time, was just insult Rolfe's appearance???? THAT'S IT???? it feels like this subreddit was pre-emptively made while waiting for a non-existant scandal to happen.

The concept of Wikipedia articles for YouTube individual videos isn't funny inherently but then you actually read one and it's hilarious, the idea of talking formally about $456,000 Squid Game in Real Life! and having an infobox listing off its budget, source material, release date, languages

When I had discovered that a lot of commercials entered the public domain either through non-renewal, a lack of copyright notice, or in the case of 80s works, both of the above - and consequentially a good chunk of iconic commercial mascots were PD - I had an epiphany when I remembered that Milhouse debuted in a commercial in 1988, the last year when something could become PD through a lack of notice. So I looked up the commercial and...

When I saw this, I had a nightmare about valid copyright notices the same night.

How a platfighter rep in Smash should go:
"Wow, there's more games out there like Smash? I gotta go try one out"

How it would actually go:
"yeah now the fish mans in smash theres literally no point to play slap city 11 CHARACTERS LMAOOOOO"

Cartoon reviewers are always waxing about morality, about how no crime should go unpunished and no good deed should go unrewarded (completely missing either the concept of relatable comedy or the concept of allegory in the process), but as soon as this literal 4 year old with no emotional regulation comes up, they create some very uncomfortably violent fantasies.

I think I might be obsessed with Buc-Ees after that video I posted

• So, it's not like a Moto, it's ALL Buc-Ees? They don't have KFCs or Subways in there?
• The Texan-to-non-Texan ratio is insane - 15 out of Texas total, 35 in Texas?
• They aren't just "renowend" for their billboards, they buy like strings of 7 in a row on a motorway.
• Weird amount of attention to their toilets in marketing?
• I think there's more beaver theming here than Mickey theming at Disneyland
• BEAVER NUGGETS? WTF??
• THE CHEFS WEAR COWBOY HATS????????
• So, is Hodwy just non-political Covfefe?
• Is this thing part-fashion brand too????
• THEY BANNED A DUCK FOR LIFE??????

So yeah, this is, like, American maximalism at its most maximal. I feel the same way about this that I felt when I found out about Chuck E. Cheese online as a kid.

If copyright still had to be manually renewed after 28 years, I'm not 100% confident that Nintendo would let its wacky So Obscure IPs like Stunt Race FX or Mole Mania or whatever become public domain - HOWEVER, there is no way this guy would still be copyrighted (at least in the US) post-2021.

This is NOT the detail I should be focusing on at all, but one of the Nintendo whistleblower reports mentioned that Nintendo (of America at least) does not have a lore database and instead just asks devs to use fan wikis.

The Great Ape War could've become canon.

For some reason, IGDB has "bleach" and "chocolate" as blacklisted tag keywords. I was submitting articles about advergames made for Creme Egg and Clorox.
