I bought GW2 and was excited about it on launch day. But I just don’t like the game. I’m always a click away from playing and I just never do. The class weapon system is abysmal, the storyline is dreck and there’s nobody doing PvE that I can see. It’s a beautiful game, it’s just not for me.

Loving someone and thinking they were the worst thing to ever happen to you is not incompatible. I think that way about my abusive father all the time.

Don’t forget the makers of Candycrush Saga, who are doing the same thing. May I suggest, “Edge of Pixel Saga”?

Yeah, I purchased Kerbal Space Program and it just doesn’t run on my machine. Crashes instantly after selecting from the main menu. I asked Valve for a refund — no dice. They *never* give refunds (although I hear that policy has mellowed a little). If they’re giving refunds for this game that’s really damning.

THIS IS AMERICAN POLITICS TODAY. ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?

I am male, and at my hair stylist’s salon my haircut would cost about $40. Fortunately she is also my girlfriend, so I get haircuts for free. The bad news is that she also insists on waxing my ears because she is a sadist.

My girlfriend is allergic to fish, so we have similar problems at restaurants. We can tell the waitress about it, ask for a steak, get assurances that it will be cooked in a pan that has never touched fish, and it will come to our table drenched in gravy made with Worchester sauce, which is pickled anchovies.

And who said that popcorn wanted to be nommed? Just because it’s in a sleek yellow tub does NOT imply consent, Mr. Panda!

Well, if you’re going to compare music...nothing beats Butcher Pete. Forever the best song to melee by.

I did not know that, and it’s a warning sign for me. Thanks.

I don’t. NV was too civilized — it didn’t feel like a post-apocalyptic world, it felt like you were doing favors for rich factions who wanted you on their side. I didn’t like the story of NV. I lost interest after taking over the strip and kind of just puttered around after that.

I’m with you on him being an unconscionable POS, but only one species of white rhino — the northern white rhino — is critically endangered. The southern white rhino is doing pretty well. I’m *assuming* he killed the southern, as I can’t see him getting any kind of permit to kill a northern — there are only 4 known…

If he’s killing every animal on the Pope and Young bowhunter list of records, as the article implies, then he’s probably trying to complete a checklist of every animal that can be killed with a bow. That’s his motivation — completing a checklist.

Perhaps I misspoke. What I meant to say was, ‘That’s an inhuman monster in the public’s eyes. It’s impossible for the public to empathize with someone like that’. The entire conversation is about the public perception of these criminals, so I thought it was obvious that I was speaking through the viewpoint of society.

I think you’re bringing in multiple strawmen here, and I don’t have the patience to sweep all of them up.

I’m going to make the argument that Polanski and Allen only ever hurt one girl.

What is it about closing the lid that makes lying in a coffin that much more terrifying?

When I got married, my (very Italian) uncle Bobby took me out to a nice lunch and gave me some good advice. With very soulful eyes and a patient, helpful expression, Bobby said, “Just remember — no matter what happens, no matter how bad it gets, you can always...blow your own brains out.”

I think that if Cosby was accused of a single rape, the outrage would be far less. It’s the 29 (?) different women that he apparently preyed on that makes this so bad. The public only curses criminals, but they bring out pitchforks and torches for monsters.

If he’s *smart*, he’ll say nothing more than ‘I don’t remember’, over and over and over again.
