"It's only a matter of time before servers for the system are taken offline." Why? I'd understand scaling them back due to decreased usage, but I really hate how people seem to be okay with the plug being pulled on stuff they purchased and paid for, strapped with DRM that prohibits them from...

How does the quality compare to the DVD's? They weren't the best...

I played through #BLUD purely after being sold on its 90's cartoon presentation. It doesn't disappoint in that regard, the animation is really high quality, making it clear what it's paying homage to while also being unique enough to stand distinct from the shows that inspired it...

I'll need to see some more info on what they're doing to Bubsy before I make a decision. I don't buy bad games just for the memes and there has never been a good Bubsy game to my knowledge. Bubsy 3D is broken at a fundamental level, no amount of polish is ever going to make it good. Improve the...

The 1+2 bundle (which also includes BBS and CoM) launched at about $35 which isn't terrible. That is with a 30% off launch discount though. It's still not a great port, framerate issues on high refresh rate monitors is still present and the updates they have made broke the existing community fixes.

I know very little about that show, I assumed it was popular because it was good and marketed well. Not quite sure what the counterargument is, though? I was talking mostly about why use Fosters rather than something original.

Not sure how brand recognition works with preschool shows. Toddlers obviously won't recognize anything going on here and parents aren't going to associate it with content suitable for kids that young...

Agreed, I remember way back when audibly sighing when I see these "volumes" and individual season sets getting released, only for them to give up on releasing the rest of them (with staggering consistency!) Mentally conditioning your customers to not buy DVD's doesn't make sound business sense...

I was expecting them to play it safe with this one, probably would just be an adequate intro to the man, but it was worse than I expected... In a bubble it's definitely worth watching for the fact that his career is a fascinating story in its own right... But it's a very by-the-book...

If by comfort you mean in the same way as comfort food, where it's something you love to eat after a rough time that's not necessarily doing you any good but just makes you happy... I would say my shortlist of shows would consist of Home Movies, Ed Edd n Eddy and Rescue Rangers. For the latter...

I would love a feature like that. When faced with a never ending wall of things to watch, I just can't do it. I need something to dictate what I'm watching tonight! (and maybe have a "dislike" button so if I'm not into it, it won't come up again on the playlist)

The epiphany I had on the subject was while watching Cuphead. I was enjoying it a lot, but was also at the same time struggling to get through it. I came to the conclusion that comedy cartoons like this just don't fit this new "streaming" TV landscape. Netflix and its contemporaries are...

Same, I thought it was popular because it was unique and interesting. Wasn't aware there were people out there who consider any other style to be detrimental. Not saying I wouldn't want other movies to have a similar look, but it should be the art directors decision, not marketing, not focus...

I finally got around to playing Papers Please. Very addictive gameplay loop but perhaps a little overrated and set my expectations a little too high. In the game, you take on the role of a border control agent in a fictional country, reminiscent of Cold War-era Europe. As the game progresses...

Stories like this make me glad I recently decided to pull my thumb out and get around to backing up all my DVD's. I found a couple of older Ghibli releases that no longer worked and had something visibly wrong (one had gotten a rough texture that got worse the closer to the outer ring you went...
