Haha, I just ranted about this show in a reply to someone else above!

Few years back, I read an article written by a former House Hunters crew member that said the houses they show as being "for sale" are not actually on the market. House Hunters representatives scout neighborhoods for houses that look nice, then contact the owners about using the houses on the show. The homeowners all…

The sad part is how many people don't REALIZE—or don't want to admit—it's fake. My mother and sister used to watch some awful MTV "reality" dating shit called, I think, NEXT back in the late 1990s or early 2000s. All the "contestants" spoke in identical speech patterns (except for racial minorities, who spoke in…

I never played Darkstalkers, but as a kid, I used to go into the arcade and just stare at the sprites in the demo loop. When someone showed up to actually play the game (especially if they picked Felicia), I was over the moon. Same thing with Secret of Mana, which still gets my personal vote for Most Beautiful Game…

I should try that. I'm pretty sure every episode would end up with us making Monty Python quotes over every mouth flap.

Heh, that's exactly how I described the show to someone who doesn't watch it. "I don't watch for the writing or the characters. I watch entirely because I'm weak for period pieces with fancy settings and fancy food."

In a series of laughably unbelievable things, this was what made me throw up my hands and say aloud, "Seriously?!"

Cora's too busy with her secret second life as a serial killer to pay attention to Edith's drama.

The Elder Scrolls Online is the only MMO that has ever caught my interest, and it is through that game that I've learned I was right to despise matchmaking and multiplayer. (I don't mind helping other players out from time to time, but I like my gaming to be at least 90% solo. Usually when I help someone, it's for…

Like Peek-a-boo-urns said, Zelda II's manual gave you the original version of the "The Legend"….Then the Hyrule Historia book came out, in which Nintendo went crazy with the retcons.

THANK YOU. I actually came to this post to comment the same thing. How the hell does Lord Grantham see a guy he barely met in his granddaughter's features, rather than the kid's mother he's known from birth? When he was trying to puzzle out what was bothering him about Marigold, I just assumed he going to say, "She…

'If Carson and Hughes aren't boning by the end of the show, I *will* lead a riot."

Mecha-Shiva! Mecha-Shiva! Mecha-Shiva! Mecha-Shiva!

Time to break out those German import techno/dance/rave CD's I bought back in the 1990s! Scooter, Das Modul, E-Rotic/SEX Appeal, Ace of Base, Blümchen…damn, this is taking me back. But I never owned JNCO's. I'm a bad raver. I never did drugs or even touched a pacifier, and the only thing I'm good at doing with…

Settle down, Rob. You'll feel better if you just stop, masturbate, and listen.

Honestly? Pretty much all my fandoms and fond memories got tainted by that one abusive ex. When we were together, we had most of the same interests, so I still keep running into that person in relevant places on the Internet. But as if they are following me—not an impossibility, given some of the things I've heard…

Wow, I have marathoned Downton Abbey the past year (mostly out of curiosity), and I seriously did not realize Mary was Susan Sto Helit! This is even more interesting than when I watched last week's Supernatural and realized the German witch from the "Hansel and Gretel" fairy tale was Mrs. Patmore in very ugly makeup.…

The graffiti said "WOLVES NOT FAR". It confused me at first, but look, the severed zombies were not, in fact, far!

Disqus completely ate the comment I tried to leave a few days ago, so let's try this again: Valenwood is absolutely GORGEOUS in ESO*, an absolute pleasure to explore. My jaw dropped when I first entered Elden Root. Given that ZeniBeth has put so much effort into developing entire regions of Tamriel, I wouldn't be…

The crumbs add character!
