What was life like before Spelunky?

[Tom McShea @TomMcShea]

@TheBigPic You missed a chance to end the interview for See No Evil with "I end every show with this question: Do you fold or bunch your toilet paper?"

[Tom McShea @TomMcShea]

@liesandperfidy 1) Somehow I didn't think Seth Curry is going to help their defensive issues
2) How does he end up on exclusively teams I don't like!?!?

Also, I've been a big ValVleet fan for years, but that seems like a massive overpay, right?

[Tom McShea @TomMcShea]

@akhavandesiree Both movies you directed were excellent and now I wish you'd make a third.

[Tom McShea @TomMcShea]

@liesandperfidy Serious question: Is it possible to be a real contender if both of your starting guards are minus defenders?

[Tom McShea @TomMcShea]

@liesandperfidy I laughed.

@BFFfestival I bought a virtual ticket for Wilder Than Her, but I can't figure out how to watch it now. Could you please help? My order number is #7018335.

I wonder how many people will read this and think Morant didn't own the gun. This is some A+ doublespeak!

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

NBA investigation into Ja Morant did not conclude that the gun belonged to Morant, was brought by him into the nightclub or was displayed by him beyond a brief period... "also did not find that Morant possessed the gun while traveling with the team or in any NBA facility."

@TyRoot It cracked my top 200!

[Tom McShea @TomMcShea]

I saw a preposterous 262 movies released in 2022! Here's my very rough ranking just before the Oscars begins.

[Tom McShea @TomMcShea]

@HumanityPlague Probably. That movie was great!

[Tom McShea @TomMcShea]

I'm in Hawaii so I had to sample a genuine slice of Haupia pie. I'm impressed by how similar my version was! Chocolate and coconut are just a perfect pairing.

[Tom McShea @TomMcShea]

I got the silly idea to bake an iconic state pie every Friday. First up: Alabama Buttermilk Pie. I give it nine thumbs up.

[Tom McShea @TomMcShea]

Week 58: Hawaii Haupia Pie. Chocolate and (very mild) coconut, so obviously delicious. What are all those states without chocolate in their pies thinking? They're missing out!

[Tom McShea @TomMcShea]

@Campster Joel is a villain. Full stop. I'm not sure if it's the fault of Naught Dog's storytelling or people lacking media literacy that's to blame. Probably both.

[Tom McShea @TomMcShea]

@carolynmichelle See always: the hundreds of stars in Mario Odyssey. Fewer but more meaningful should be the goal, not length padding.

[Tom McShea @TomMcShea]

@Ofmorse Wait, individual episodes are given scores!?!?

[Tom McShea @TomMcShea]

@SuperDevilJoe Yeah, Watcher is excellent. I guess I forgot to include it? It's borderline horror. Nope and You Won't Be Alone are also so good.

[Tom McShea @TomMcShea]

I've seen tons of horror movies released this year, but outside of a few scenes none have been all that scary. Any recommendations? Here's what I've seen:

A Banquet
Barbarian
Beast
Black Phone
Bodies Bodies Bodies
Father of Flies
Fresh
Hatching
Hellbender
HollyBlood
Master

1/2

[Tom McShea @TomMcShea]

Men
No Exit
Nope
Orphan: First Kill
Resurrection
Room 203
Saloum
Scream
Studio 666
The Free Fall
The Innocents
The Invitation
The Sadness
The Seed
We're All Going to the World's Fair
X
You Are Not My Mother
You Won't Be Alone

Someone scare me!

[Tom McShea @TomMcShea]

@LewieP I'm watching it even though I thought GoT was mostly bad for the last four seasons. I just love the books too much to ignore a chance to spend time in the world. I'm optimistic, too, given that the story is complete so we won't get so much abject stupidity.

[Tom McShea @TomMcShea]

@LombardiHimself Nate Sudfeld was three months old when Montana played his last game.

[Tom McShea @TomMcShea]

@untimelygamer Filmspotting is my favorite. Even when I disagree, I still love hearing their reasons.
