I know it shouldn't, but it always irritates me when people say they "modded" a game when they really mean that they "downloaded a mod." The guy who made the mod? He modded the game.

1954.

Believe it or not, yours was the comic I was making the joke about. I'm just an idiot and saw the "Brawl in the Family" label above that comic and missed the "<hr>" in between. So instead of making a witty pun (it wasn't a commentary on any of the comics' humor or lack thereof), I just look like the standard…

So they've just said that contests may make Pokemon mega evolve, right? And they've shown four (outside of the starters) new mega evolutions - Metagross (Tough/Smart), Altaria (Cute/Beauty), Lopunny (Cute/Beauty), and Salamence (Tough/Cool). I'd say that there's a decent chance of getting at least one more new mega…

Was I too subtle?

Huh, weird. Of all the comics this week, Brawl in the Family was the only one with a punch line.

Barrel roll =/= aileron roll. If you're trying to be accessible, at least just call it a "roll" instead of continuing the misapplication of the word.

I'm pretty sure Amazon Prime has all the seasons of the original show available for streaming.

I figured it was probably related to Batman - that'd be the thing that might bring her back. I assumed Cadmus/Waller approached her with the whole "the world needs a Batman" conceit and she bought it, but was then unable to go through with it as she got closer to finishing it. I don't know if that's spelled out, but I…

So would the Miami Herald. However, they would say "Miami has," even though they would say "the Heat have." All our (U.S.) team names are treated as plural (and they basically all are, except for a few rare teams whose names can't be pluralized), and we treat our team's locations as singular entities, because we don't…

Right, so, same reply. You're looking for new and different experiences rather than digging in to longer-term ones. You already invested a ton of time into Dark Souls - you were "on the internet searching hard for information...to look up info on Dark Souls 2."

That's not all that odd, really. The same thing that helps people enjoy window-shopping and watching other people do things (reality/food shows) inspires this sort of thing. I'm the same way, for what it's worth. With limited time and resources, sometimes it's more exciting to browse a lot of things than dig in to one…

Beat me to it. That was my thought as soon as the girl started talking to the monitor.

That's a great deal! It's worth mentioning that you don't even have to download the apps, you just have to buy them (so you can buy them through the web storefront and never download them, which is what I did). You also don't have to have the appropriate devices that way (I don't own a Kindle, but I still "bought" GTA…

Nope nope nope. Publix hummus is miles past Sabra hummus. I like to play around and make my own hummus (sometimes), but Publix chili lime hummus is far better than anything else I've tried. Sabra hummus is passable, but I'd rather spend the time making it than have that.

It has been adapted as one, which is sort've the point. Language, you see, continues without your input or consent. And yes, "their" is also being adapted as one, but it's a superfluous gesture.

"His" is gender-neutral; the general approach in the language is to adopt a male tense in indefinite situations. And, like I said below (or above? - comment position is somewhat relative), I know that "their" is allowable, I'm just being a pedant.

"In use" and "acceptable" are two different things. Depending on your style guide, it may or may not be acceptable. My point - vis a vis "picking nits," - is simply that it's an awkward construction. I find it a little amusing that the language descriptivist argument here would be "it was used this way 400 years ago."

I mean, if we're picking nits, it shouldn't even be "their," it should be "his" or "his or hers," depending on the level of PC you want to employ.

It's not my joke (~3:20). Glad to pass it on, though!
