Life is short and after you’re dead, this is all recycling material.

Car Toons was funny in that “every car looks like Rat Fink’s car” kind of way... every car had drag tires, was festooned with STP stickers etc. Interesting captions there too: “Just make sure your cord is jacked into the right socket”—very William Gibson-esque. And the Great San Diablo Blackout... San Diablo was…

All the counterpoints alleging actual cocaine use are funny... But wasn’t the actual lawsuit over a comment about smoking crack? Whatever.

Not sure if you knew, but it takes like seven years of medical school to talk in a perfect monotone.

WHYYYYYY????

WHY, GOD, WHY...

IS THIS SO FUNNY??

Soap, 1989—20-somethingsomething, never forget. Muppet.

Plunkett, yours are some of the best Kotaku pieces, especially the art exposes.

Good, I’m glad it found another adult devotee. GTA Online is the pinnacle of online gaming right now IMO. I still play occasionally and hope that Red Dead Redemption Online is in the works.

I enjoy the shit out of this game, from finding a random crew of Mormons (players rolling guys in shortsleeve shirts and ties…

Haha, hadn’t heard of the Desire Sensor. Is that the thing I actively deny, i.e. “I don’t want Gjallarhorn so I really hope I don’t get it on this Crota run” so that I’ll get the opposite effect?

The grind is the game. Should the grind be the game? Some people find it numbing and relaxing and if you weren’t a completist before you got into the game, you are now. Hard to form memories or create fondness around things that happen literally hundreds of times, more or less the same way. For me it was the opposite…

RIP the days of switching Icebreaker and Gjallarhorn around via Tower Ghost while sitting in the crystal room waiting to get Crota. Ditto figuring out the perfect strategy to take down Skolas so I could lay hands on those fairly worthless but oh-so-enviable weapons. RIP my love for the game. I sorta envy those who had…

Definitely loving “Aloha Snackbar,” and I’m thinking of naming my roadside foodstand that.

Sooooooo you’re tacitly endorsing it?

J/k, yeah, that’s what’s kept me away from JRPGs. The Metal Gear goofiness I can handle but unsure if I can go any further.

Oh, bring on the cringe. The goofier the better. It’s like hotty times infinity plus another infinity.

Ferreal question though: the hype machine got me with this one... is this a good intro to FF for a first timer?

I wish to assert my 28th Amendment privilege to not attend Burning Man.

Agreed on all points except I finished it. Good for him for writing something marketable and making a pile of cash. And doubly so for getting it optioned and making an even bigger pile of cash. Still scratching my head though why an auteur would agree to direct. Makes sense though that this fairly weak source material…

My mother-in-law moved from bombed-out England to Columbus. She’d get a big kick out of hearing that ol’ Blighty is a stand-in for O-hi-o.

OSU, MSU, Northwestern, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Purdue + Nebraska, PSU, Rutgers, Maryland. At this point, any name goes, right?
