Maxi Rogers: Game of the Year edition

Jesse and Walt at the dinner meme: Is Mario only Super Mario when he's Super Mario, or is he Super Mario all the time? What? The games are all Super Mario, Super Mario Bros, Super Mario 64, hell it's even Super Mario Kart. But in Mario Bros, he isn't Super Mario until he gets the mushroom. But he's not called little Mario, he's called Mario and then the mushroom makes him Super Mario. But on the 64 he's always the same size. So is he Super Mario? Or just regular Mario. He's gotta be Super Mario, because of the title, but then he's always Super Mario. So why call him Super Mario in Super Mario Bros only when he gets the mushroom. So then, he's not Super Mario in Super Mario 64?

I recall Sainsbury's had something similar with Nectar and for a while me and my flatmate were the number one crab sticks eaters in Lewisham. I've filed that away as a proud moment.

@WeatherRapport If I had a tiny girlfriend I would love to throw her across gaps so she can pull levers and open doors that get me to her part of the level

Probably the lapsed browncoat speaking but I'm hopeful for a return Thing. I do agree that we've seen many things inspired by it since, but rarely anything hitting quite the same notes and Serenity was fun.

This is all presuming Whedon isn't involved at all. Buffy and Firefly back, sans him pls.

Still looking for my next role - if you know anyone who needs an award winning game designer, narrative designer, or content designer with technical skills and people managing experience who has been at it for 15 years and has made stuff that is taught in schools, hit me up at zoe@unburntwitch.com

Tory grandstanding about student loans isn't helping anyone Everyone remembers the Conservative Party created this system

We should all welcome the renewed attention being paid to the UK's student loan crisis. But we must remember it's a scandal the Tories created, and which they deserve no praise for cynically, and incoherently, adopting as their cause.

Tweet from chuuch (@ch000ch): [slowly rises from trashcan while 2 friends are making plans without me] i am also free that day.

Take a moment to admire this close up of a nice furry noble beast that looks like an elongated red panda but in a lovely autumnal auburn. Little ears. Little snout. Isn't it cute. Isn't it very separate from all the things happening.

Happy 30th birthday to all Pokemons who like dancing to Enya

Somewhere, in the creaking shadows beyond your perception, Blaseball stirs and murmurs sticky toffee words laden with uncertainty, dread, and joyful whooping. There are realities scratching against the back of your door. There is a faint scritching inside your room.

Mr Baseball is doing a great job

Deeply, deeply, grim.

Netflix wouldn't have been great, but in a normal, boring, crap way. This is far worse.

It was already awful having Paramount be the way they are.
