I backed this game at the level where I get a copy on release. It's taking most of my willpower not to go ahead and buy early access anyway. I wanna play so bad. But I also want to wait and experience the game when it's fully polished and balanced. Sounds like it's coming along awesomely so far.

Haha, a viral fire. I suppose they'd be getting their wish, but in a monkey paw kind of way.

Saying "female" when you mean "woman" is ultra creepy, regardless of your reason. It makes you sound like you're talking about livestock, or bugs, or the humans you have locked up in the observation cells that you built in your soundproof basement.

That is the WORST kinda movie gunfight. Shot of Bale flailing around, cut to shot of random minion convulsing, cut back to Bale, cut back to minion, etc. etc. No sense of space or choreography or that the bad guys are doing anything but standing around waiting to get shot. They coulda filmed Bale and the bad guys…

Maaan. I'm interested to see how this cast turns out, but Fey, Poehler and Plaza would definitely have been incredible.

I made the mistake of buying earbuds with nylon braided cords recently. Salesguy talked me into it, saying they'll last longer and don't tangle as easily.

Lord knows there's no fight like an intra-religion fight

You basically wrote an article about how you're too cool to give a shit about coffee, and in particular trendy coffee served by Starbucks. That's pretty hipster. That gif actually sums it up rather nicely.

Nice! I dig the rough style, it definitely suits the atmosphere of the Souls games. I'd buy something like this...not often you see game figures that look like actual art objects, and not just expensive plastic toys.

I'm trademarking that.

The relationship equivalent of a flat tire would be something like bickering more than usual, or a brief stint of lowered intimacy. What writer #1 is describing is more like an engine on fire, broken axles, holes in the gas tank and a puke smell in the upholstery that just won't wash out.

In regards to #1, the simplest interpretation is most likely correct - she's just not in love anymore, wants out of the relationship, but can't or won't end it herself. Deeper and more complicated reasons, like the ones the Dr mentions, are possible, though, and there's even some chance there is an unspoken,…

1:30 almost killed me.

My girlfriend likes to use "poon" in casual conversation, which weirds me out because that sounds nasty and kinda derogatory to me. In bed it's "pussy", or just "me"/"you" (depending on who's referencing it, obviously).

The relationship is already over. Even if she agreed to stop hanging out with her ex, the writer's anxiety wouldn't decrease. He would simply find other reasons to worry. He already mistrusts her and expects her to cheat. And as he writes, she's at a point in her life where she's gaining confidence and getting…

I think not only does it not work, it reinforces the opposite intended message. The type of white person who thinks race-themed parties are harmless fun would simply say "See, I'M not offended, why should anyone else be?"

I don't think #crimingwhilewhite is for black people. It seems like it's for white people. Because as you point out, what's a black person supposed to do with that except feel shitty. But, while you might be acutely aware of white privilege, in my experience most white people are not. To many of them, yes it IS new.…

That's true, that part was extremely cool. I suppose it balances out. Man, I wanna play that game again.

That game was rad! But fuuuck that level where it was super easy to get bumped off the track into the water. Many a sentient pickup truck met it's death in those frigid depths.

I LOVE hearing about Crusader Kings. In context it's fascinating - it's great to hear people recount the crazy twists and turns of politics, religion and warfare in their games. And out of context it's obviously hilarious. But I cannot wrap my head around enough of it to actually play it. Gave it a shot, and didn't…
