I'd always name the members of my party in Oregon Trail after my friends, and then inform them later of how they'd died. Good times.

Still relevant 7 years later.

While it's not much, some of the money that Gamestop makes off of used games was already invested in the purchase of the game from its previous owner. But let's cut Gamestop out entirely; I wouldn't be able to sell a used game on Ebay. Is that fair? If I payed for it, I should be able to sell it for however much…

Jeff would probably be the Hulk, considering he already was at one point. Donald Glover wanted to be Spider-Man, so he may end up in the mix. He'd probably just be Hawkeye though. I agree with everyone else that Pierce fits the Iron Man role better. Shirley as Black Widow because there's a racist joke in there…

My wife got me a couple LPs for Christmas, so after watching DW last night I was listening to Blood on the Tracks, and for some reason the album really seemed to relate to the Doctor/Clara thing in a way that I can't put my finger on. It was probably just because I experienced them so close to each other and the…

The map was a reference to when the Great Intelligence (Yog-Sothoth) used robot yeti to infiltrate London in 1967. Ironically, by showing it the map the Doctor may have given it the idea in the first place.

For some reason I am not surprised at all by this.

Who says he has to punch it? Supes just needs to give it a good push in the direction of the nearest star, black hole, or destructive space anomaly.

Unless the Death Star was suddenly imbued with the ability to use magic, the thing is toast.

So io9's infinite number of chimps operating typewriters will remain in service then?

Ballsy move. I love a bleak ending.

Blonde ale? Seriously? I guess it kinda fits if they're going with a Lannister theme, but when I think of quasi-medieval fantasy settings my mind immediately goes to a darker than dark 10-15% ABV sorta beer, not some Westerlands piss-water.

I prefer to just skip to With a Vengeance, and pretend 2 never happened.

No question.

WTF. I hadn't thought about Urusei Yatsura in *years* until last night, and today there's an article about it. A bit weird I guess, but I know a confirmation bias when I see one. Interesting (not really) fact: Beautiful Dreamer was the first anime I ever owned, and it's the only VHS that I still have.

A Robot Suicide would be a great name for a band.

Doesn't do much for me, but my wife's managed to make a decent amount of money on furry art commissions. It's a bit disconcerting how much money people are willing to blow on this stuff (not that I'm complaining).

Also...

Did someone say something about the Moon?

Yep, saw it in 3D. There also wasn't a trailer for Pacific Rim, which I had been looking forward to.
