you claim to dislike doctor who and yet you know a lot about it
a) shut up
b) remember in the five doctors there was this assassin robot where they said it could move faster than anyone could see when what actually happened is that it jumped in the air and then vanished with a sad little fart sound

Eiffel 65 releases the album Europop, which you probably know because of "Blue (Da Ba Dee)".
But, did you know there's a song on that album called "My Console" that's all about their love of PlayStation?

I feel like what publishers took away from Baldur’s Gate’s success is that every game needs to have like 5000 hours of content, instead of the much more valuable takeaway imo: you need to let players have sex with a demon lady and a man who turns into a bear

The great thing about writing for a Transformers Wiki is occasionally getting to write sentences like "Megatron has a theory that he can attract young men by wearing cat ears and ending his sentences with meow." because it's a thing that happened in a cartoon once.
