"Things were rough back then: down in the dark underbelly, that hive of miscreants... The locals called it 'Dog Bottom' - and with good reason."

The Ice Cream wars do exist and in Scotland they were brutal.

Alex is right, Jerry Seinfeld's stand-up is atrocious. Garbage. I don't even think he's a funny person at all.

Bikes have right to the same space as a car generally. Might differ here and there but taking up a car parking space seems entirely standard.

15 minutes of First take in NBA Live? I think that turns me off games faster than paid loot boxes.

Ah, the excitement when you hear them read an e-mail you submitted... and then the disappointment when they say it was sent in by "Tim"...

The Gamecube has analog triggers so I don't think Mario Sunshine can be on any other Nintendo console. Maybe the Switch XL will have analog triggers..

Vinny are you sure you aren't misremembering the ice cream wars of Glasgow from the 80s?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasgow_Ice_Cream_Wars

Came on hear to post that. ;)

I'm sure it happens everywhere to some extent or another. I can remember burger trucks getting into turf wars but don't think it was because they were a front for illicit dealings, more that a new guy had encroached on an established truck's territory. See also: Window cleaners.

I dunno if this would be what Vinny wants since he's an adult with a job and a salary, but as a broke college student my solution to having more HDMI devices than ports was to use a female-to-female coupler to bring one of the ports from the back of the TV to the front, along with all the cables for all the devices. It's not as fancy as a switch or anything, but it gets you infinite HDMI devices while spending <$10.

I got 14 in the Sonic quiz. Also thought Sonic Spinball was the full title.

"Sonic Eraser" being on that list is crap though. That was a Japan only Seganet game. You can't put that on there but not count iOS games.

Vinny training his child as an assassin makes sense of a lot of things for me. Amazon truck is disgusting as a symptom of consumerism.

Wow, the internet's hyperbole never ceases to surprise me. I get that someone could not care for Seinfeld's type of comedy, but calling it "atrocious" and "garbage" seems like a wee bit of an overstatement, doesn't it?

That Stephen A Smith tweet is a classic! And yet it's only 2 years old! But I guess 2 years is a long time in internet years.

Correction: The “cockroach motel” Vinny asked about being in Dream Warriors is actually in Part 4, The Dream Master. The sarcastic athletic girl slowly turns into a cockroach and is squished by Freddy...I guess because she hates cockroaches? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Uh the first Alien vs Predator movie is a guilty pleasure of mine. I agree that it's awful and stupid but it's so much fun. Requiem is total garbage tho and the darkest movie i've ever seen, not in tone but in the literal sense. Couldn't see shit of what was happening for at least half of it. And i was so hyped going to the cinema to see silly stuff with the Predalien!

@wardcleaver: particularly because it takes away from Seinfeld being borderline revolutionary for modern comedy. He has never been one of my favorites, but atrocious is such an absurdly hyperbolic description. Also, I think even Larry David would scoff at this idea that Seinfeld was all him and very little Jerry.

That's about all I could think of for the "Name 10 videogame names from X series". It's a fun segment started by the fans.

There are dozens of mario games rated lower then Sunshine on metacritic. To be honest as someone who doesn't play platformers they all seem the same to me.
