Usually, that data comes from artists whose works are used without their permission, leading to possible plagiarism, intentional or not. But this isn't about that, though, this is good ol' fashioned human plagiarism ...

Would You go to an Anime Club Night?
I've been around long enough to figure out clubbing isn't really my thing. I love live music and musicians playing stuff a little out of the ordinary, but I don't drink much and I'm not into the kind of music most clubs play, so if someone invites me to join them on a night out I'll probably turn them down. Even rock and metal clubs, which i've been to plenty of times, bore me pretty easily. There have been times I've gone to clubs/raves to experience ...

Everyone's Horny for Zelda... Or are They?
I feel like I have to admit something: I've never extensively played aZeldagame in my life. Other than the GBA, I've never owned a Nintendo system, and outside of a few minutes ofBreath of the Wild at a museum installation I've not had much firsthand experience with one of the biggest franchises in gaming history. Most of what I know of the series comes from the infamous CDI games that were used frequently in the YouTube Poops that defined my childhood. ...
