I think that's implied with any AVClub job.

Sigh. OK, fine.

@Vinny:
I had the body model argument all through the beta, and I'm not too keen to repeat it. That being said, this isn't a choice between two ridiculous extremes.

Yeah, I hear the PS3 (and some PS2) controllers work, but there's a less-than-complete success rate with that, because Sony hasn't released official Windows drivers.

Sorry, I should've clarified: Microsoft makes an Xbox controller specifically for use with PCs. It's natively supported, so you shouldn't need any drivers or anything, but as far as I know, you can't use the controller that came with your Xbox with the PC.

Pixar, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and accept your assertion that you're not trolling as fact.

Sure, Marcel was douchey and doomed for a while, but Etch's service, food, and concept ("Mediterranean"? Hasn't one team done that every fucking season, and doesn't it never work out?) seemed legitimately

GOD DAMMIT THAT COMMENT WASN'T THERE WHEN I STARTED MY REPLY.

Yes.

I know, right! Kids these days, they don't know what's good—back in my day, we used LiveJournal AND WE WERE GRATEFUL!

You know what? I'd probably indulge in painfully-embarrassing-to-watch-self-delusion if I were going to make FIVE MILLION DOLLARS from it, too.

I cannot answer you, because it's totally unknown to me what you just asked, and also very boring.

Segel + Muppets
That picture is never not great.

The bones say nothing.
