    I honestly can't stand these kind of stories. It's questionable public shaming in a poor attempt to go viral and, frankly, unfunny. I don't think I'll ever see the appeal.

    Awfully mysterious. Either way, more coal for my unstoppable FE: Fates hype train.

    I studied Bernays in college. How more people don't know about him dumbfounds me. But I suppose he would have preferred to remain unknown.

    Entertaining video, but obviously not all fashion of a time period can be encapsulated in a single outfit. (Although I'm almost positive that I have the exact 2015 outfit in my closet. So I guess the joke's on me..

    ...as long as they can keep from being shrill and yelling about it.

    Isn't this what's usually referred to as "tone-policing?" Is that a valid complaint? I have no problem with it, as I don't think you can have a reasonable discussion if someone is being shrill and antagonistic. But, I have been accused of tone-policing in private discussions and then all conversation just stops.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Of my subscriptions, I feel like these channels deserve the most attention:

    Every Frame A Painting Tony Zhou presents a thorough analysis of film. He covers many different aspects of film, from cinematography, to acting, to sound. Entertaining even if you're not a film buff, he may even convert you into one.

    Tekthing Basically Tekzilla 2. If you're unfamiliar, it's a tech news show done in a traditional broadcast style.

    CGP Grey Well researched, "did you know" style videos. Grey has a cadence that keeps your attention and he owns up to any errors he (rarely) makes.

    $5 New Google Cardboard Virtual Reality Glasses Android

    The best deal (so far) for a new cardboard headset, for anyone interested in VR.

    We Happy Few from Compulsion Games really has me intrigued. It's my brand of creepy.

    I'm still waiting for mobile gaming to prove itself to me. I haven't seen a big game that doesn't use time-gating and micro-transactions. The only things that seem to come close are the Final Fantasy ports. There's potential, but right now the standard seems to be Free-to-play or $.99 with micro-transactions. (If anyone has any suggestions to prove otherwise, please send them my way.)

    It also doesn't help that smartphone hardware specs vary wildly. I remember downloading Crazy Taxi: City Rush onto my Gen 1 Moto X, only for the developer to pull support of that device. If a developer did that with a major gaming platform (Like Arkham Knight) there would be a huge uproar.

    As for VR, I wasn't sure, but then I played Elite Dangerous at PAX East last year. I had an "AHAH" moment. I'm locked in a space dogfight, and my bogey zooms right by me and I lose sight of him. My typical gaming reflexes kick in, and I try to find him by turning my whole ship around. I then realized that I could just look up and out the back of the cockpit. The realization was pretty exhilarating.

    Now, I don't think that all gaming should switch to VR, but between that Minecraft Hololens demo and my Elite Dangerous experience, I'm pretty excited.

    If anything, I feel like this movie's comedic factor rests on McKinnon's shoulders. She's definitely the funniest one in the bunch.
