I have read too many comments and now the word potato has officially lost its meaning.

I actually really liked the new brown M&M. She seems like a classy lady who isn't willing to let people talk down to her because she's brown. And really, it was the only color M&Ms had left to work with, so I don't feel like there's any objectification here.

How is this in any way compatible with getting a good night's sleep?

Oh, man, a cartography company. Do they wear powdered wigs and draw scary little dragons in the corners of their parchment maps? I honestly didn't know that old-school cartography and paying for maps was still a thing. Wasn't pretty much everything mapped in the Victorian era?

Did I miss the part where FlawedHero said anything even close to this?

The Smart Ones three cheese ziti marinara is actually really good. It's the only frozen dinner I like. Even looking at the righthand picture is making me kinda hungry.

Briar Rose looks pretty much the same.

That's very true! I think it also has something to do with the fact that our brains (and therefore our craniums) have grown exponentially faster than the width of our pelvises. We've become too smart to be birthed comfortably!

If you read the thread, you can literally see the point where the PR guy finally googles Penny Arcade and does a complete 180. The difference between the previous smug, dismissive email and the subsequent terrified, ass-kissing email is glorious to behold.

They have this. I believe it's called the Right of First Refusal or something like that. It's often used as a consolation prize or bargaining chip to make up for the fact that the publisher will almost certainly demand ownership of the IP unless the developer is already well-established.

I agree with you, but most small devs have very little choice but to sell the rights to their IP to be able to get their product out the door. The relationship between the dev and the publisher is not by any means equal, and a first-time developer will almost certainly have to give up rights to their IP regardless of…

Yep, that's pretty much the case. The return policies for used games are a lot more lax than for new games.

Dude, thank you for turning me onto those. I just watched all of them and they are the funniest things I've seen in a while.

I refuse to feel like an illiterate ingrate because I no longer buy physical books. Since I bought my Kindle I've been reading way more than I have in years. Take that, crotchety old person.

I knew that I wouldn't get a chance to battle it out with Marlowe, even though I really wanted to. She got a Disney villain death because she's a woman, and there's a serious taboo against portraying violence toward women in the Western gaming tradition.

SPOILERS AHEAD

Dude, what? I'm just saying, in your post you listed a bunch of stereotypical support roles that females usually play in games, and tried to use that as a reason why females wouldn't make good protagonists. A protagonist needs depth, and most of the time women in games are written really one-dimensionally. There's no…

You're just averse to the roles females generally play in games, not the notion of a female protagonist itself. There's absolutely no reason why they couldn't design a female player that doesn't play to those tired stereotypes.

For any Jezzies that are interested, I found this site that will decant 1 oz samples of any of the Tokyo Milk perfumes. You can get 5 samples for $14.

Are you sure there aren't a couple more laughably obvious stereotypes you could cram into this worthless post?
