I believe Kris Letang belongs in this conversation—

I’m not sure what was more disappointing about Where No One Has Gone Before. The Traveler was skeevy as hell, sure. But the screenplay was loosely adapted (and scaled down to a syndicated drama’s budget) from The Wounded Sky, a TOS novel written by Diane Duane that was about 100x more bonkers, including:

I have simpler tastes. Here’s an Animaniacs dick joke.

Except Mat Honan didn’t get hacked because he left an un-shredded receipt laying around.

That’s good kinja.

So this is how the “Console Wars as horse race” narrative is going to keep playing out, eh? The lead horse has jumped the fence and is now trampling spectators, but the writers can’t stop obsessing over the 2nd place horse’s split times.

That generation of Elantra wanted to be a 3-Series in the worst way. And that’s exactly what they got.

At least Xbox players will have the exclusives from The Taken King and Rise of Iron to look forward to, right?

Let’s see how long it takes them to correct that error. We’re approaching 19 hours as I type this. (Hint: Bet the over.)

Looks like she rolled off the same assembly line as Callista Gingrich.

Smash Mouth? No wonder they’re still in Contenders. When they can belt Sub Pop-era Soundgarden while pushing payload on Dorado, they’ll be ready for promotion.

Only one problem: After Jason wrote that, Sony and Activision’s conduct toward Xbox players got significantly worse.

What is this happy horseshit? If they don’t “owe” us anything, they have no reason to even exist in the first place.

Polygon posted an “opinion” piece openly shilling for the PS4 version of Destiny 2 over PC and an unboxing video of a D2-themed PS4 Pro within hours of each other on the Friday before a 3-day weekend in the US and Canada. But Kotaku is the one on the take because they’re actually playing the game and they like it? Riii…

Dungeons & Dragons. When the cleric class got a pantheon to choose from, the fundies cried “Pagans!” and shifted their attention from comic books to RPGs.

“Nobody tries anything different or daring anymore.”

I had a loaner Mini with start/stop and an automatic, and it was plenty fast enough for non-drag-race purposes. It also stayed running/re-started any time I tugged on the steering wheel for a turn, so it could be used to anticipate a right-on-red.
