The first thing I heard about Cobra Kai was that it "wasn't afraid to be politically incorrect." I didn't think much of it at the time--the person I heard this from was known to be particularly anti-PC and I assumed if it really crossed any serious lines, I'd have heard about some kind of...

Joe Pera Talks With You is one of the strangest shows of the past two years. Joe Pera plays a fictional version of himself as a man in his mid-30s, but he carries himself with a distinctly grandfatherly manner. He speaks slowly and deliberately, he has a little hump in his posture, and he mostly...

Comic books, similar to TV shows of old, get a lot of flak for their production cycle that never ends. If a character has a new book every month, in perpetuity, how can there be a defined beginning, middle and end to their story? How can they grow and change if the book just needs to keep going...

Back in the early 2000s, the reality TV landscape was pretty different. Instead of getting a peak into the lives of celebrities or certain vocations (with plenty of contrived drama), they focused on regular people isolated into some kind of competition, with immunity challenges and eviction...

As some of you may have noticed, a certain game has released recently that’s caused quite a stir over its depiction of LGBT people. I haven’t played either Last of Us game, and haven’t followed the story behind the game closely enough to have any thoughts on Neil Druckmann and co., so I’m not...

I haven't left my house in about 72 hours. I've always been a homebody, but until the option to leave my house was taken from me I don't think I realized how much I relished simple excursions that broke up my day. Even though a lot of the things I left the house for were things I can still do at...

I originally wrote this article as part of our GBAtemp Recommends series. Unfortunately, it was shelved by the editorial staff because I took some potshots at Bubsy 3D, which happens to be my boss’ favourite game. As an act of rebellion against this egregious oppression, I’m publishing the...

Back in December of 2017, I was suicidally depressed. Depression had been a big part of my life for a while, but by that point all I could think about was my way out. I couldn’t help but come up with a plan, a date, and a list of conditions that, if not met by that date, I’d execute the plan...

This is a companion piece to my GBAtemp Recommends article on Dead Rising. I wanted to talk about each game in the series but that article would have been too long, so I decided to move that discussion over here in case anyone was curious. Dead Rising 2 (and Spinoffs) For Dead Rising 2...

So I’ve been reflecting on the decade and, I don’t think I’m the first person to make this observation, there’s been a lot of good TV lately, so I wanted to take some time to talk about my favourite shows and hopefully spread the word if you haven’t heard of some of them. Two quick notes before...

    Biomutant looks cool tho, may have to try that
  • Quincy @ Quincy:
    Usually when such a big title leaks the Temp will be the first to report about it (going off of historical reports here, Pokemon SV being the latest one I can recall seeing pop up here)

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Google them basically web crawlers to movie sites
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn, only $2.06 and free shipping. Gotta cost more for them to ship than $2.06
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
