「それは愛じゃない．．．愛はそれじゃない．．．」
Those of you who can read Japanese probably see the cold open up there and have a guess at what this week’s topic is on about. If you don’t, this is the next big clue:
Crackpot Conspiracy Theories the Anime
Author: Tiberius
Here, you will find a variety of opinions in anything and everything concerning entertainment. Movies, games, animation, music, TV; if it's a form of entertainment consumed by many, I may have written about it or I plan to do so in the future. Unless otherwise specified, expect weekly updates each Friday.
Big Girls: Surprise Sex Comedy Animanga Hit
No shortage of surprises
First, BLACK TORCH returns from certain death, and now this manga gets an adaptation!
From what I remember, that single tit on his head should’ve cracked his skull >_>

1979 cult classic film and… 2005 Rockstar published video game?
A low-budget gangster film from the late-1970s has gone on record to achieve the cult classic status it would enjoy some 20 to 40 years later.
The basic premise of The Warriors is that the largest and most powerful gang of hoods, the Gramercy Riffs, calls upon all the gangs in the five boroughs of New York. Gramercy Riffs’ gang leader Cyrus spends the early film urging peace amongst all the gangs, all of whom outnumber the NYPD 3 to 1. Whether this includes corrupt cops and mafiosi isn’t explained, but beating the piss out of one cop would come after first trying to bribe approximately four or five. Four cops take the cash and look elsewhere, the fifth needs knuckle persuasion.

A serious mockery of an art form
Mind control doesn’t exist, but it doesn’t need to for me to make this next sequence sound all too familiar to a handful of readers. Open YouTube app on your mobile phone -> scroll through your feed -> click on a video that piques your interest -> if it’s monetized, ads will roll before, during, after, or at all three points depending on the length -> one of those ads is for a simple puzzle or side-scrolling shooter game -> the example player plays the puzzle extremely poorly. If you’re on desktop and have the Adblock for YouTube extension, then these may not be seen at all. If you’re on mobile, like I usually am, hammering away on the screen for the Skip Ad button is a regular routine.
Living Dark
Living After Midnight
Jet lag! Didn’t hit me as hard this week, but flying across two time zones is a sure-fire way to screw with the comprehension on this piece. Dying Light was promised and Dying Light is up for this week.
Chainsaw Chopping Chupa Chups Cheerleader
Yay alliteration
Jetlag is always fun >_>. A regular reader may know by now the entire shtick of this blog. Obscure, niche, underappreciated; this place is the Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends of the entertainment world. And lucky that it is because I’m still discovering stuff that slipped past my radar or was unavailable to me at the time of release. Case in point:
Or more specifcally Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP on Steam

Veni, vidi, vici
In the research for this topic, by way of the magic coincidence, former developers at Crytek have sprang from the woodwork and the coffin to announce that Ryse: Sone of Rome was something of an experiment. Those who recall the Xbox One launch title might be thinking, “Well, it was supposed to show off the Xbox One’s stellar capabilities,” and you’re right. It was, and it did… adequately.
I’ve been on PC since the COVID pandemic was classified as an outbreak at first in late-November 2019, but even then I was lamenting the absence of disk drives in PCs and laptops well before then… (T^T)

The story of the vassal with little to do about nobility
Let me ask you what comes to mind when you think of the word noble or some similar word. Aristocrat, vassal, bureaucrat, baron, or any other such title. If you’ve seen enough medieval media you might default to European nobles in their fancy castles with arguably too much bright light, too much orchestral music, and too many grand displays of grandeur…
Yeah, isekai ironically lost its luster for me.

Blame it on the WB!! Well, not all of it
If you’re a regular viewer of The4thSnake and you follow his opinions on the HD continuation of the Mortal Kombat franchise or you simply keep tabs on WB Games and NetherRealm Studios, a conclusion you can draw is that the games started to get… complacent and stick to familiar angles come MK11.
Artificial Intelligence Chat Bots
Atypical scene change
Normally, this blog avoids topical discussions on current events because current events move with the current and don’t remain current for very long. Legacy media gives me all the leg room to veg out on the bean bag chair while snacking like the dirtbag almost-NCO I currently am, but what good does a CNN or BBC or Associated Press news reel do me? In the words of Miss Bitters, NOTHING!!
Under your seats, before the big bang there was N O T H I N G !!!
