Today marks the release of Show #248 – Our Twenty Year Legacy of Shame Is Also Our Third Christmas Roundup, where we look back on it all then recap more anime Christmas episodes www.awopodcast.com/2025/12/anim...

The dorks who insist AI is inevitable, especially in the games industry, deeply underestimate how much I’ll just shrug and play retro games for the rest of my life.
Like the PS1 & PS2 libraries alone are enough for multiple lifetimes.
Fuck you, make me.

There's been talk about how movies "look" really fake today, well, I present "A Boy Called Christmas" this entire movie looks like CG but was filmed with real people. Something about the entire movie looks horribly uncanny.

So I was watching 8-Bit Christmas again and there's this shot of the Nintendo and hidden under it is a really funny detail, that under it is not a record player or laserdisc player but a CED player, the worst possibly home media format ever released, clearly put there by some set dressing media nerd

Washington’s refusal to regulate AI is a corruption story. Just ask Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson.

So I've dropped Fire Force, that show was just not doing it and I'm told I'm watching the better parts of the show already. I need to find something else, maybe I'll try Tougen Aniki.

No offense, but British Christmas pudding looks like an absolute nightmare of a meal and from the ingredients, completely unappetizing. I guess it's one of those things that if you lived in Victorian times was a good change of pace.

I suspect there are a whole generation of kids who have yet to come of age who are completely and totally traumatized by the 2009 Robert Zemekis Christmas Carol movie, not unintentionally either, that movie is genuinely terrifying at times.
