Someone said that our Sega Dreamcast ports were a pointless waste of time today and that nobody will play them… Meet my son, who was the first kid to ever play Mario 64, Doom 64, Mario Kart 64, Starfox 64, Sonic Mania, Grand Theft Auto 3 and Vice City, and now The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time—some of my all-time favorite games from childhood—on my favorite console, the Sega Dreamcast, for his first play-throughs… and his little sister plays with us as well. Despite the fact that we actually do have a thriving homebrew scene of people playing and supporting us, I could not give less of a shit if anyone else plays them or appreciates the work… This is all the validation I need.

I can’t stress this enough, as they say on the internet. I’ve worked in telly comedy for almost 30 years of my life. A VETERAN. There is nothing harder, in the telly game, than getting a new comedy show off the ground. The reaction to a snippet of that new show, or a promo for it, is almost always wildly negative. Comedy always begins from a position of fighting up out of a trench into a hostile no-man’s-land. Bombs of “THIS WILL BE SHIT” landing all around you. How often have you heard about a drama show - “It gets great five episodes in.” When have you ever heard anyone EVER say that about comedy? You get one episode AT BEST. Usually, you get about ten minutes. Sometimes one look at your face is enough for people. Basically, what I’m saying is - give telly comedy a chance! Don’t go in, all arms folded and grumpy. Most shows you see on TV are people reading off teleprompters and actors turning up to recite memorised lines. These comedy performers and writers will have been working like fuck to make you laugh. There is no harder working room in telly than that comedy room. So PLEASE. Relax, be open, and give this and ANY OTHER NEW COMEDY a chance. It is only here to try to make you smile. Clip here is fun. Godspeed to all involved!

@robertflorence It must be something about the English sense of humour. I've never met a single person who thought he was funny. I'm told that some English people think Michael McIntyre is funny although I suspect that can't really be true.

It was always impossible to process that this act was one sentient being acting alone. There are two entirely separate and different physical creatures here. Look at how funny that Emu attack is. Guy was a genius.
Prof. Frank McDonough@FXMC1957

17 March 1999. Rod Hull died (aged 63). He always appeared with Emu, a mute and highly aggressive arm-length puppet. Hull died in a tragic accident while trying to adjust the TV aerial on the roof of his bungalow, then slipping and falling to his death.

My wife Jenn Celine - who has had some unbelievable adventures that could fill a book - worked in a studio in London when she was a teenager. The previous creative in that studio? Banksy. There were old used stencils lying discarded in drawers and cupboards.

Louis Theroux’s new show should have just been called “Insecure Losers Encounter First Genuine Alpha Male.”

Celtic fans leaving abhorrent graffiti in the Broomloan stand. Easily recognisable.

As a Celtic fan, my favourite players of all time are Sutton, Lubo and Tavernier.

Kyle Chandler has the potential to be RDJ-level casting for the DCU. Just watch. #Lanterns
