Erin’s Fake Interest of the Week

She re-tweeted this. Presumably, she thinks that this is somehow applicable to herself. WHAT information? If it’s not colours, she doesn’t know anything.

But that’s not what I’m here for. It’s this “MOTU” post that caught my eye.

She’s a big “MOTU” fan, guys. Or, as anyone old enough to see the cartoon calls it, He-Man.

Where the fuck did “MOTU” come from? I know it’s a term used by nerds on the internet and Erin is just aping it trying to fool retards into thinking that she’s interested in this shit but as a kid, I have never heard anybody say “MOTU” or “Masters of the Universe” when referring to He-Man. Why would they?

So Erin is really jazzed about this “MOTU” game. It’s from Limited Run Games, by the way, a company who I’m pretty sure Erin has run ads for in the past, both up front and discreetly. This is an example of her stealth advertising. She presumably got paid for this. But how much could anybody possibly pay for this? This shitty tweet that nobody is going to read?

Well, some people read it. Her number one fan now that Shishi is dead, Joe from Gamesack replied.

  • “Have you tried the PAL-exclusive He-Man game for the PS2? It’s… OK”

Joe…you know that she has not. You know that she’s not interested in video games. Why do you try to perpetuate the scam? You’ve been trying this for years. Has it worked so far? She’s still with Mike, right? When is this master plan of yours to woo Erin away going to start picking up steam?

So Erin says, “Very briefly. I remember being “meh” about it.” Uh huh. “Briefly, on stream, for money,” in other words.

Oh, Super Geoff changed his name. He’s now That Looney Gamer. He describes himself as a “Youtube comedian.” So I went to his channel hoping for some stand up comedy routines or something and…no. Just video game footage. Very disappointing.

But yeah, He-Man. Erin is all about it this week. This children’s toy line for boys from before she was born.

She’s all about shrimp this week. She’s a big seafood fan, guys. Will she gain powers from the radioactive shrimp? Get it? Like Spider-Man? Or…The Incredible Hulk? What other characters got powers from radioactivity? Let me look this up.

Daredevil. Maybe the Fantastic Four, whatever “cosmic rays” are. Phoenix.

God, I haven’t had shrimp since I was a kid. Do they even sell it in the UK? Maybe this is an insane question.

Oh. I see the problem. That’s right, they’re called “prawns” here. That’s why they were always off my radar. I knew they were called prawns but I just never really thought too deeply about the connection. But yeah, they’re sold here. In DISGUSTING sandwich form.

Go to any of these shitty sandwich shops or any grocery store and you’ll find cold prawn sandwiches in the refrigerated aisle. They’re horrible, over-priced sandwiches with tiny pink shrimp in them slathered in mayonaise between two cold, soggy slices of bread. Who’s eating this? Somebody must be, they’re fucking everywhere.

I didn’t even know that shrimp look like this, that’s why I never really made the connection. I’m only familiar with the large, breaded, deep-fried variety sold in the US.

But yeah, you can get prawn salad, prawn crisps, prawn crackers. I’ve never eaten any of that shit. Prawn baked potatoes. Oh, fucking prawn fried rice. That’s horrible. I always pick the prawns out when I get the fried rice that has a combination of beef, chicken, pork, and prawns. Prawn curry is also sold.

But deep fried prawns? I don’t think it exists in the UK. I’ve never seen it and I didn’t see it in a quick search of some food delivery company.

It’s fucking gross, though. I wouldn’t eat it even if it was available. Any food that requires a “de-veiner” is not for me. Same reason I don’t eat fried chicken. If there’s even a chance of a vein, forget it.

So He-Man. Or “MOTU” as the big time He-Man afficianados like Erin call it. I didn’t have any. Except for…well, I think that I had two, now that I think of it.

Yeah, I had King Hiss and…Hordak. King Hiss was such a crappy figure. There was a shitty plastic overlay on him that looked like a lifeless human that you’d remove to reveal his tiny snake body interior. I wonder why I even had those two figures. He-Man wasn’t something that I collected.

They were just in my miscellaneous figures drawer. He’d fight the Ghostbusters figures (which were SHIT) and my generic ninja figures and shit like that. Things in a similar scale. Cowboy Curtis too. Later, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles joined in.

Ghostbusters had to be the worst toy line ever produced. At least as far as I’m concerned. I just wanted normal figures with a proton pack but I guess that I got into the line too late. So I had Ghostbusters that had weapons that were designed to capture only the specific shitty ghost that came with the figure. So Egon had a clamp-type weapon that worked great with his shitty ghost that had a long neck but was useless for anything else. And the characters would make a dumb “scared” expression when you squeezed their arm.

I didn’t want that gimmick shit. But the entire line was gimmicks. The monsters were all gimmicks. The only sub-series that I liked at all was the classic monsters line but even those had gimmicks. You’d squeeze their legs together and they’d do some stupid action. The mummy’s action was the worst. His fucking arm and headwrapping would fall off. Who wants this? Who wants to play with this fragile as fuck character?

He-Man had a lot of gimmick characters too. King Hiss was terrible gimmick. But then there was also that suction cup mouth character. There was “battle damage” He-Man and Skelator that came later in the line. There was the moss character, although that perhaps wasn’t a gimmick so much and was kind of cool. Wasn’t there a character or characters who sprayed water out of their mouth? That’s never fun and just ruins the figure. Oh, and fucking Orco that was like a little car that used that plastic zip tie thing. Who wants that?

I’d love to hear Erin’s experience with “MOTU”. She made that video where she unboxed a bunch of “MOTU” figures that she bought with Mike’s money for the purposes of the video but then we never heard about it again.

That was four years ago. Where does the time go? And she just talked about colours, of course.

That was over five years ago. I wonder why she didn’t say, “Top Ten MOTU Games.”

  1. I can’t believe Erin is off of Triggered and back on Twitter. Errr “Blue Sky”. Have the whackos finally given up on that once they realized they could only make fractions of a cent from their posts as opposed to pennies on X?

    1. I think that she posts on BlueSky as much as she ever did. So only when she has something to promote.

      She was also on Mammoth or whatever when that was a thing that people were doing. That seems to be done.

      If people want to take a stand against Twitter or Elon Musk or whatever, I say good for them. But that was never Erin’s intention. She was always just chasing pennies. “Oh, people are using a different site now? I better go too.”

      At least Pam aka CannotBeEntertaining took a moral stand against Twitter and she stuck with it. Her and her 1,000 followers on BlueSky can be secure in the knowledge that they took the high road.

      1. Ah, gotcha. I thought she might have been one of those that completely shunned X and went over to Blue Sky full time, but it seems she still uses X when it benefits her to some small degree. Poser, for sure.
