What are you talking about? With his gruff, dismissive attitude, indifference toward everything and everyone that might distract him from the task at hand, and willingness to do whatever it takes to accomplish his goals (regardless of how it might affect others), Belichick reminds me a lot of my dad. And if you’re…

It’s a hell of a lot easier for an upper middle class kid to say no to a (ultimately slim) chance at 50 grand in exchange for his properly functioning brain than one who needs to work after school to help his mom buy groceries. It’s a system the preys upon the desperation of poor people, be they informed or not, and I…

Good for Baker. I sometimes get sick of him voicing seemingly everything (that Nolan North isn’t already doing), but if he’s standing up for his principles and supporting his union people, I’ve got more respect for him now.

“I still get tweets that say, ‘Geoff’s a good footballer but I hate his politics.’ It hurt me at the beginning, because I was like, ‘This is what people think of me?’ But then I got to the point where I was like: ‘You know what? Screw it.’ These people don’t really know me.”

Mushrooms are infinitely more enjoyable than LSD. Mushrooms make me want to hug everyone. LSD just leaves me feeling nauseous, dirty, depressed and exhausted.

I’m super-duper torn about this.

I mean, the story was pretty self-contained as is.

So, if we’re talking about multiple installments, and each of these will represent a “stand-alone” experience, I mean, what are we even talking about? On one hand, the characters and setting are beloved. And I *might* be interested in…

I’m giving you a star not for the quality of the joke, but for how long of a road you walked to get there.

Do you complain about this when players get 3000 hits, 300 wins and 500 home runs when they had playoff appearances?

I don’t think this is something we’re gonna agree on. The convolution of it all is a big part of what hurts the plot to me. Well, that, and the fact that it takes itself soooooo damned seriously. And that’s sadly not just a quirk of the writing, but Kojima’s ego shining through.

What rough beast slouches towards Tampa to be born?

Plays fall apart; the line cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the field,
The opposing rush is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity and stolen crab legs

‘Unique’ and ‘Good’ are unfortunately very different things and it is entirely possible for a game to be one without being the other.

If you’ve seen the E3/PAX West presentations (I have) it’s not a big jump. Several of the scenes presented go on about still-mothers, incubating babies, and the character Mama literally has a ghost baby running around that’s attached to her by a ghost umbilical cord and Mama herself is lactating. Yeah it’s not a large…

A man who explains a characters nakedness as being her skin needs to “breathe” so she had to wear less clothes as possible while having enemy characters covered up better with the same issues doesn’t ring like a person who understands anything about women or that he wants them basically naked without being “creepy”…

This is going to be like that shitty work of art or movie that everybody is so hyped up for that everybody is going to say it is the most amazing thing even if it isn’t, and that ends up getting rave reviews even though everybody is just kind of going through the motions because they really wanted it to be the best…

“We can finally explain Kojima’s game.”

It’s the nuclear option, but with no mutually-assured destruction. Since the internet can be largely consequence-less and social media is an absolute cultural abortion, people don’t question jumping right to the most extreme option available. There’s no real iincentive to be civil if you can get your point across in…

As a man I approve this message. Boy do we suck.
