Yeah but to me, Firefly has more in common with Star Wars and Westerns than Star Trek. It’s not about explorers that are part of a Utopian mission. It’s about rogues and rebels on the run from the law. Sure, it’s got a crew, a ship, and a story of the week format, but the similarities really end there.

I actually feel we’re overdue for people taking a shot at their own Star Trek-esque shows. Everyone’s been trying to make their Star Wars and Lord of the Rings for decades and because of that we’ve gotten a ton of Space Opera and Fantasy (a lot bad. Some really good). However, Star Trek’s kind of held a monopoly on…

Hell, was this guy even living in Jersey? I’ve met people in Mumbai who knew where Edison is. It’s literally the New Delhi of the West.

My grandparents live there and I worked there for a few years in Edison. It’s not the most amazing place in the world but it’s a pretty nice suburb with a lot of restaurants and there’s a lot of companies nearby to work at. It’s also really easy to commute to New York City or further down south to where a lot of…

Came down to post this. Bioware, if you think you’ve fucked up Mass Effect so bad it needs to be put on the back burner for a while, just know that Jade Empire is waiting in the wings. Friggin’ love that game.

Aw man. Gabi doesn’t work for New York state yet. Guess it’s on to Nerd Wallet.

I dunno, in my experience, the Boy Scouts was actually my first introduction to toxic masculinity growing up. It was all insecure older teens bossing around the younger kids and a weird hierarchy of chores and command. I realize things change troop to troop but everyone in mine seemed determined to play army. It’s…

Come on, Mueller, man. I don’t know how much more of this insanity I can take.

I’m still holding out for a Wheels and the Legman movie

Agreed. It’s almost as out-of style now as calling something or someone a “hipster”. Both these sides of the spectrum have basically drifted into one another, been marketed to all hell, digested, and congealed into mainstream culture at this point. We are all the basic hipster now. Embrace the basic hipster. Enter the…

My brother and I were talking about this yesterday, particularly on how beer snobs complain every year when each brewery comes out with pumpkin spice in their fall beer. At the end of the day, you got to sell beer, you need to sell a fall flavor, and your options are pretty limited flavor-wise for something of that…

We could literally pick any other Italian and it would be an upgrade. I, for one, propose we change it to Danny Aiello day.

Politically, llamas and alpacas often find themselves agreeing on many issues.

There is nothing to apologize for. The Llamas are a very forgiving group of animals.

As a llama, I would like to state that we, the llama community, do not have any association with Mr. Llamas and condemn any spitting in victims’ faces. For the record, we’re also not cool with all the Nazis that have been running around lately either.

Thanks! I wonder what sensitivity level they had it set at. After I told the guy in charge of the settings, he said we may need to increase the fidelity or something. It was still funny passing my laptop around the room and watching everyone fail to get in except for my brother.

I feel ya. I was once waiting outside his office and all these women kept smiling and waving at me when they were leaving the building. Was feeling really smug until I realized they were all his coworkers.

Mashable is blocked at work but it popped up quickly enough for me to see two adorable red-headed twins staring at a computer.

There are rules to this kind of stuff, man. You just can’t have two murderous twins running around the place 24/7. Someone could lose an eye!
