There’s not a lot of options when you’re at a kid birthday!

There’s certainly some similarities to my girlfriend’s Jamaican family in this but I’ve noticed they also have their own weird traditions at family gatherings. Like, after the meal, every one packs in and chills out in a room where the only light source is the TV screen. Why can’t we turn the lights on? Are we in a…

My girlfriend's Jamaican and someone has to do at least a fifteen minute prayer at every single gathering that involves food. I'm talking even kids birthdays that are outside BBQ style. Yes, okay, God can move mountains...and he can move rivers...and the heavens...and roads...and yes...okay...Jesus can do all that…

There’s gotta be a middle ground. I’m starting to get that uneasy Hobbit/King Kong feeling. Where the source material is unnecessarily stretched in the adaptation. Was Final Fantasy 13 really that much shorter than 7 in terms of story length and environments? Are we really that incapable of making a lengthy game today?

Just starred you. I'm doing my part!

It's not like she's eating a bacon burger with fries every night. Cereal's nothing.

Just finished it. Really works well as a sister game to Black Flag.

There is so much truth to this. I’m very big on words of affirmation and physical touch. It’s just kind of the environment I was raised in. Family gatherings usually began and ended with the whole Italian family hugging and kissing each other on the cheeks. I wouldn’t go to sleep without hugging my parents and them…

I was going to say that I like having the ability to search for and message women first, but ya know what? I've honestly have the most luck with the women that message me first. they're usually a lot more interesting and forward. It's almost like I don't really know what I want until it's showing up in my inbox.

To me, Destroyer is that quintessential 80’s D&D epic. It’s got the party, the quest, the twist, followed by a big boss battle everyone teams up for in the end. I like it for different merits than Barbarian, which is great for its sheer mythic brutality. Conan’s more Hercules than Hero in that first film; a…

Yeah I feel bad for his family and employees but I also feel even worse for all the locals that benefited from and depended upon Cecil in regards to Tourism. Even if one doesn't like animals or disagree with game hunting, the impact to people's livelihoods is very real. He should feel some of that pain.

Ouch. Well, you got Grey's Anatomy. So...that's good?

It's equally as positive but kind of different with Kevin Smith. New Jersey, and his experiences growing up there, are a part of his voice. Watching Mall Rats and Clerks back in the day, you immediately knew this guy was from New Jersey and loved it. That's part of what made his stuff so cool; he could communicate the…

It's a bit of a different situation. Smith and the Springsteen drew upon their experiences growing up in Jersey and created work that reflected that unique cultural landscape. They basically became ambassadors for the state through the use of their talents while also creating work that people outside the area could…

I would love to see him come back in a week riding a Spanish galleon, laden with gold jewelry and precious gems shouting "I found it! Everyone! The lost treasure of Maztica!"

Now that hits close to home!

I remember reading Game of Thrones for the first time and throughout the entire novel thinking the author had to be British given its influences. Then I looked up Martin when I was done and realized the sonofabitch was from my home state of New Jersey and Bayonne at that! I'm not sure why but It was a cool feeling.…

Because the difficulty in these games is part of the storytelling. The player is supposed to feel powerless and careful. That's all part of the horror and tension The developers wanted to capture. They could release a much easier version but that would be like watching a colored film in black and white or a novel with…

I think it's more that the majority of Asian characters on TV seem to be immigrants with heavy accents. People want to see more representation of the Asian-Americans that have been here for decades or speak with American accents. A lot of folks also don't like the depiction of immigrants as speaking in really bad,…

Yeah, he kind of speaks to the concept of moving past what people assume you are, kind of like how Kimmie doesn't want to be viewed as a victim. I can still see how people would tune into this show and see another Asian guy with a funny name mispronouncing stuff and roll their eyes. I like how the series works to…
