If Jack wants to continue prerec but Rich doesn't how come he doesn't roll it himself?

1) Jack sucks at video games. He's so bad, it's frustrating to watch.

2) Pre-Rec only worked (when it worked) when Rich played the games and Jack handled chat duties. The best Pre-Rec's are when Rich plays a game, and Jack and Jay talk about movies and poo poo.

Pre Rec was so great. They played Space Cop once and Jack was at the keyboard. That was when it was revealed Jack didn’t know how to spell very basic words. Good times.

He was great at Bloodborne up to Vicar Amelia, and he was pretty good at Friday the 13th.

When he was bad at things, he was bad in a normal way.

Jack was one of those people who would spend a half hour searching for something that you keep seeing him walk past over and over again that's not even supposed to be a hidden puzzle type of thing. I don't get how a person does that on Twitch when you have 50 people in the chat telling you where the thing you're looking for is.

So it's super ironic that Jack is now a "video game personality" on video game website The Escapist.

also here's a stupid take

You can be interested and knowledgeable about video games while simultaneously being really bad at them, much like how you can be interested and knowledgeable about movies without being very good at actually making one *cough*

What.

So the clips flying around are just the set up to a ghost story? Is it a version of that nasty Scary Stories to Tell In the Dark tale about a kid digging up a toe and eating it, but instead of a toe someone digs up her golden arm and she wants it back?

'Cuz that's way easier to fix than a decomposed human toe that you made soup out of.

I'd have heard Mark Twain tell the ghost story but not Quibi.

I was just gonna say, DOTD is one of his better films but it's a VERY low bar. Watchmen is visually great and I think Larry Fong basically carries a LOT of Snyder's work.

Like, for a true vision of pure-strain Snyder, you just need to look at Sucker Punch, which is genuinely one of the worst pieces of poo poo ever made.

Sucker Punch is so bad that a friend and I got up walked out of the theater about 30 minutes into the movie. It is the only movie that has ever caused me to do that.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

ST:TNG Season 5 is really drat strong. Pretty much every episode is good and there are several classic ones.

I wish the people who make Picard would have watched some TNG.

looks like localized reversal of the flow of time?

nolan might have read about the self-consistency principle and decided backwards-moving causality could be consistent with forward-moving causality and made a movie about that

knowing nolan, he probably came up with some binding rules and created a couple of logic puzzles that take it to its logical conclusion, and the movie he builds around it will be o.k. but not really thematically related to the sci-fi stuff it'll just be about wives or kids or somehthing

I love Sucker Punch. I don't give a crap about "themes" or coherent storytelling, it just looks and sounds great. I was grinning like a maniac when I got out of the theater. To be fair, it's been a few years since I last saw it. Maybe the CGI looks like poo poo now.

It's really worth pointing out that I went into Sucker Punch with the right mindset "yaay pretty ladies fight the robots with swords and other things" and I still walked out disgusted. To this day that's a hell of an achievement.
