I should probably have a pinned intro post, huh? Hi, I'm Gregiffer, I'm a queer Youtuber running the Pop Arena channel. I cover a lot of stuff, but my main project is Nick Knacks, a history of Nickelodeon that looks at every single show that ever aired on the channel.

I think it's neat when a same-sex couple both transition, just trying on every size of gay in the store.

In 1987, a popular novel trilogy gave birth to two adaptations. One, the foundation for one of the most influential RPG franchises ever. The other, an OVA. Guess which one we're talking about.

Long considered lost media? I have it on DVD, you dumbfucks. I bought it FROM A MALL. Bandai released it legitimately in English. Did the world's dumbest AI write your article? Typing "red spectacles dvd" into the ebay search box too much work for you?
Everything is lost media when you're stupid.

I've spent a lot of holidays on my own. And I've definitely been the guy who had to work while all my fellow employees have been off with their families. So if you're working or alone this holiday, much love to you. May the day treat you well, pass quickly, and be devoid of assholes. Love you guys.

This is going to be my second set of holidays since I became couch-surfing homeless. Not loving it.

Dumb-dumbs chasing that dollar. That said, it is kind of wild that twenty-three official Oz books, including the fourteen written by L. Frank Baum, are in the public domain, and no one's really taking advantage of that. They struggle to get past Wizard.
Plans are already underway for the future of the Wicked franchise, following the smash-hit debut of Wicked: For Good. https://bit.ly/4rrUWpg

Not Gonna Lie, folks. I am incredibly dubious in this day and age of any study that states 'you don't reach adulthood until X' considering how the 'full brain at 25' thing has been weaponized by both young and old to avoid responsibility and deny autonomy

So you made a robot stand up and talk... now what? In this over 4-hour journey, Kevin follows the promise of Disney's Living Character Initiative, an effort to populate Disney theme parks with free-roaming, interactive beings. It was touted as the future. How's it going? Watch here: bit.ly/49C6vng

A lot of the motivation in doing videos is to have a mobile career that I could take with me so I could escape where I was.
I have not yet escaped.
I got the idea for Nick Knacks while in an Applebee's.
