I worked as an intern in the office with James for a year during my time at iO (and he was my instructor for a level), so this news is amazing! And not at all surprising.

FYI: Sweden voted best country in the world.

Also, drunk. Let’s not forget drunk.

Leo is just in the worst spot tonight, isn’t he? Everyone has to go through his gauntlet to get to stage.

This! When I left my job as a teacher there, I gave a farewell speech for the prefectural board of ed bosses. I said, “Thank you for showing me that Japanese kids aren’t necessarily smarter, they’re just really good at memorizing.”

I used to say Sub-mariner like Submarine-er when I was a kid, but that was before I knew about the Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner. So, that cleared it up pretty fast once I made the connection. I also called Magneto ‘Magnet-o’ before I learned it was an actual word. Stay in school!

Yeah, it was the rare time I took it off that I met them, so for me it was like “Never leave the armor!!”

More like a slowly shuffling tank since I quickly run out of carrying capacity without my armor, and that’s with deep pockets on everything. Plus, jet pack!

I am always amused by people who walk around without Power Armor. I live in those suits.

I’m sad you left out the connection to the ruined Japanese gardens of Ruttles Mansion if you take the more difficult trail at Runyon. Near the top is a small trail that goes through rush and by trees and winds up in what’s left of the gardens. That’s my favorite way to go, mainly cause it’s a good workout, too.

A-Jewel!

He’s been caught doing for most of the past decade now. Don’t think he’s going anywhere.

I was looking for this to pop up in the comments. When Evan wrote that he was infamous for drawing, I was hoping someone would correct him: the proper term is tracing.

Kal Drogo is here to pillage your horses and women, Boston!

I did exactly as you said here, but all dog meat did was produce a sad whimper and refuse to retrieve it. I assume this means that they have fixed this particular bug?

Celebrity stories! The first thing that came to mind was when I waited on Richard Simmons about ten feet from Brad Pitt and his kids. No one in the restaurant bothered them...until Richard realized he was there. Then he did his thing (he’s very...outgoing), and ten seconds later, he’s getting pictures with a very…

Slightly off the main topic, but concerning bad science: That Washington Post article about leaving children in cars. From what little they wrote, it sounds like they did NOT ask about leaving kids in cars on hot days. It just kept going, “People think it’s okay to leave kids alone in cars,” followed by, “Leaving…

I’d say the majority of our time in the booth can be pages of screaming, especially on Street Fighter. A bunch of us use a Chinese cough syrup dubbed, ‘Hulk Juice,’ cause it was used by the actor who played Hulk on Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, which had most of his lines being yells and shouts. It helps lubricate the…

I would have to disagree with that statement (not the asshole part, that is on point). Our director for the Street Fighter games busted his ass with 14 hour days for months. The actors come in for a few hours and work their magic in the booth, but he is there for the whole project: overseeing quality, dealing with the…

But isn’t her religious belief that she hates gays? I don’t think they are exclusive of each other in her mind.
