Once you've been jabbed with a satellite tracker and used as a fundraising gimmick on the Internet by one group of humans while another group tries to kill and eat you, I'd say your dignity is pretty well robbed already.

And all the whores and the politicians will look up and shout "Save us!" … and I'll look down and whisper "Devo."

Agree. The main reason I watch someone else play a game is to see how they play it differently than me. For most games, that boils down to them playing better (which is humiliating) or worse (which is frustrating), but Bioware games you can watch someone do it differently than you and it's just interestingly…

My theory is that people who decide to become method actors are usually natural born assholes who're looking for a way to demand sympathy while making everyone miserable.

Yes.

I dunno, I'm guessing if you liberate the people and install a democracy, and the food will go right to shit. I mean look at this "Bojangles" place they're talking about, named after a black minstrel performer. You think that happens by accident?

Just so you know, Mr. Bell, you are my all-time favorite gimmick poster.

I have a rule: never read Storified tweets. Twitter is pretty much shit at the best of times, but when someone tries to break an actual piece of writing into 140-character chunks rather than using a medium meant for the message, it always comes out as a halting spastic mess.

Yeah, they could have just listed the show and maybe the assassin in the headings. With the victim there too, there's no way to even browse for the shows you've seen without getting a dozen other shows ruined.

Well, he was originally hired on LOST to play Marvin Candle / Edgar Halliwax / Mark Wickmund: given the way that show tacked on "backstory" after the fact, I suspect they picked the character's real name to suit the actor rather than the other way around.

Sounds like we should chalk this one up as a learning experience, as the video game world figures out what's possible and what's not with immersive VR.

Yep.

Avatar/comment synergy!

Abraham and Glenn both did volunteer, but Negan was having none of it.

Thinking about this in the comparison to Lucy made by @Baulderstone elsewhere in this thread.

Exactly. It's a visibly sexist film that's trying to mock the sexism that pervades gamer/comic pop culture, as a stalking horse to ridicule shallow feminist critique of that culture, and at this point in the meta-meta-meta critique Snyder's got his head so far up his own asshole he'd roll downhill if you gave him a…

The most annoying thing about Sucker Punch fans is they think people hate the movie because they didn't "get it". Yes, I understand that none of what's shown on the screen is literally happening. Yes, I understand that the movie's making a statement about female objectification while engaging in it.

"Man, what rock did this guy crawl out from under anyway?"

The best thing the Internet has done lately is to rename the raccoon a "trash panda". But that was like a year ago. Keep rolling the dice, Internet.

Not quite: it means "light-bearer", and is often used to refer to Venus, the morning star. In this context the pope is quoting an old metaphor about Jesus lighting the way to the coming dawn.
