I haven't seen Disney's other live action crap, but they're kinda all like that like as not.

Ironically I still think I could see this Cruella turning into the other Cruella, or at least I did back when I thought Cruella had like, 10-20 years on Roger and Anita. Them being the same age might make it a little harder? The assumption is that as the years go by and she's in her 40s and 50s, she becomes more embittered/alone and crueler, with her fashion being the one thing she can get right which is why she holds on to it so desperately.

That's my theory.

Mine is that if they were to do a sequel, The Baroness, having gone insane, escapes prison and becomes the Cruella we know. She kidnaps the real Cruella and the puppies and it becomes about rescuing both.

It's weird to imagine that Michael was an excellent salesman when his antics as a manager are so annoying, so it's hard to believe that he'd be remotely charming or skilled as a sales rep.

You see him switch it on in the episode where him and Jan meet the guy at Chili's.

In another episode he has a whole binder full of cards with notes on the people he sells to, their family, likes and dislikes etc.

For whatever reason, he can switch on social awareness in these scenarios.

Lol, never seen the food in the OP or those burgers he posted before.

The meal he posted looks like scrambled egg and tinned meatballs in tomato sauce. Absolutely not been sold from any pub or restaurant.

Those burgers are literally not burgers, nor are the English, they're Frikadellen and are a type of German meatball-burger hybrid (and also delicious).

And basically any of the other 'Old Gods of Asgard' songs from Alan Wake/Control.

Also, the whole OST for Streets of Rage is amazing. I know it's not completely unknown for having a good OST, but it's still vastly under appreciated.

Name's ok. Could have gone with something more iconic to the region but it's better than Indians.

They're literally named after the Guardians of Transportation statues on the bridge right outside their stadium...



I think most of the locals would agree it's iconic to the region.

I think it's pretty balanced across the three (in terms of my preference of final evolutions).

Grass - Sceptile, Torterra, Decidueye
Water - Feraligatr, Greninja, Inteleon
Fire - Charizard, Emboar.

Fire type generally has the most runner-ups; Typhlosion, Infernape, Delphox, Incineroar and Cinderace, with the only non fire runner-up being Swampert (and it's a close one as I still like Blaziken).

Voted Smash Bros, but also have never played Metroid or Kirby.

Only played Zelda for the first time last year too. Thought BotW was incredibly overrated. And I've only played Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem briefly too on the 3DS and didn't rate them.

Korra has higher highs, but lower lows. Even then I think overall it just pips TLA, the highs are just that much higher and the improvements to the character design and animation make it stunning to watch.

He also says 'wars' plural. Is he counting the War of 1812, where America acted as the aggressor and tried to annex part of Canada and was thoroughly defeated?

Or does he think that Britain sided with Germany in WW1 (which USA barely participated in) or that Britain was an Axis power in WW2?

Just getting stabbed but that's easier to avoid than getting shot.

The murder rate by knife is higher in the US than it is the UK. So you're still more likely to walk out of your house in America and get stabbed.

"But it took him more than one to kill Boros!" is often their go to as well, as if Saitama isn't capable of pulling his punches.

The same would happen with Goku. He'd let Goku beat him up a bit, then flex a little, Goku goes to his full power (UI Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan KKx20 or whatever the fuck it is these days) and then;

The thing about child prodigies is that they still peak. They don't have exponential talent. There'll come a point where they might not even be top of their field of study.

Another child prodigy said that he felt worthless for a long time as now one cares how good you are at a field when you're in your 20s.

Reminds me of those two kids in the UK who tortured and murdered a toddler

James Bulger. He was lured away from a shopping centre and murdered by two 10 year olds, Robert Thompson and Jon Venables.

Thompson appears to have kept his head down since being released, but Venables has had a lot of issues. He's on a second stint in prison for child pornography.

For a manga about Saitama, the titular One Punch Man, he's barely in it any more. I get that they can't have him in too much as he'd just one punch everything, but it's swung way too far in the opposite direction.

It's definitely the increased seriousness overall that is at fault. I'm glad this arc is coming to its conclusion now we're on the cadre battles, as the next arcs in the webcomic is a lot more comedy and Saitama heavy.

Don't know a lot from him but immediately fell in love with Long Legged Larry earlier this year. Just preordered the upcoming vinyl release for his debut EP, Appleseed.

He's got to be one if the most consistent hip hop artists of all time. He's been going since the late 90s and everything he does is quality.

You should also check out Hail Mary Mallon, it's Aes and Rob Sonic together. Good stuff.

I'm born and raised in England.

Can trace my Dad's side back quite a few generations and all come from the Lake District/Cumbrian region. Full records don't go back far enough, but more than one of the surnames can be traced back to Border Reiver clans. Basically bandit gangs formed of English and Scottish peasants who were sick of the two nations constantly warring and would raid their respective armies and townships, usually quite brutally.

My mum's side hasn't had as indepth ancestry done. However my Nana's Grandfather (so my Great Great Grandfather) was Blackfoot Native Canadian. My Great Great Grandmother emigrated to Canada and met him there and moved back to England as it was safer to have a Native American mixed child here.

It's possible I'm 1/4 Turkish, but never done the DNA analysis and my Nana flat out denied that my Mum was the product of an affair. We're 99% certain this is true though. Nana and Grandad both had fair hair and blue eyes, my mum has dark hair, olive skin and brown eyes. Secondary school genetics would suggest two blue eyes parents having a brown eyed child is improbable. And my Nana did have a Turkish friend she was very close with.

Do you want to see a video of a horse getting a root canal? Cause i know of a video of a horse getting a root canal.

I was going to say, I'm pretty sure it's not uncommon for (usually mistreated) horses to have teeth issues. They get that anxiety/obsessive disorder where they won't stop chewing and mouthing on things like fences, stable doors, wire fences etc.

BotW is a great shout. Some great aspects, but incredibly repetitive, with a map completely devoid of anything interesting and a virtually non-existant story.

In general, a lot of still going but classic Japanese titles (as in Resident Evil, Metal Gear, Final Fantasy etc). I just really don't mesh with Japanese story telling. It's often super campy, unnecessarily convoluted, full of melodrama and annoying characters. I can enjoy some of the games, but for the life of me will never understand why people rate them so highly and there's definitely some legacy biases too.

The Soulsbourne games are another good shout. I played Dark Souls and thought it was one of the most boring, tedious games I've ever played. I get that the appeal was in large part due to the difficulty, but it just didn't manage to be difficult AND entertaining.

Gears of War series. I love a good shooter, but I've just never been into these. Don't get the appeal.

But "nice guys" (those are guys that are only pretending to be nice, hence the quotes) are the same guys that will get mad when women turn them down. "Why isn't she madly in love with me!? I was nice to her!"

99.9999% of the time they're just the absolute bare minimum of nice too.

Because they're usually some combination of completely devoid of personality and not actually nice people, they think being polite is enough.

They also treat it as transactional. They think if they put X amount of nice in, they deserve Y amount of reciprocation (which is determined by them).

You double down on downplaying it by finding obscure versions of the thing that exists in the corners of the Internet in America.

Yes, Amazon and Walmart, those obscure & niche shopping locations. The Amazon one has nearly 3500 reviews.

As someone else said, it was a popular game a few years ago, not sure why you're trying to make out like that was exclusively in the UK. Even if so, why would the UK having a quirky party game be fucked up?
