Hey guys sorry I'm late to the shitshow but it's me again and I wrote something about this shit

Captain America was on the SHIELD payroll until recently; I guess now he's unemployed technically but has a lot of savings to fall back on.

Hey guys I'm gonna risk coming off as a gigantic douche and post a link here to something I wrote on another site. I wrote this because I was kind of wrestling with myself over the question of "Can I articulate why, exactly, this particular death is such a big deal" and this rambly thing about the "But Doctor, I am…

My point was just that it seems weird that the fact that Sandie seems to be succeeding while working less hard and taking the game less seriously seems to endear America to her more, not less, which is counterintuitive to me.

Should I be participating in these? Would that help AV Club get hits?

It was shot in Cleveland, so…

As I've pointed out repeatedly this "Arthur Chu" account has a comment history going back to way before the Jeopardy thing.

By the way, I haven't seen it yet but I'm pretty sure I'm in this movie. I filmed a scene as an extra when they were shooting in Cleveland that I've been informed survived into the film and in fact serves as the film's ending.

Oh no! Not another AV Club related suicide! The disturbing trend continues!

Question for you all —

Hey, if you are who I think you are, I think I waved to you when I was in the 2nd-to-front row for Exact Change but you didn't acknowledge me.

Hey Lurky! It's me. Does Scrawler still post here too?

AV Club Commenters, this one was for you:

One thing that made this a little more "fair" was that Watson was programmed not to buzz until it actually knew the answer, which meant that if it spent any additional time "thinking" it was possible for a human to beat it (especially if the human is using the hammer-continuously-on-the-button-to-beat-the-lockout…

I guess I should add a caveat there — you can't WIN with $0, that's a hard-and-fast Jeopardy rule. In the very rare event where all three players end the game with $0, there is no winner, everyone loses and we start with three new players the next episode.

If two people have the exact same score that's a Prisoner's Dilemma situation and the only two rational bets are all-in or $0. Everything else is suboptimal. (If he goes all-in and I go almost-all-in and we both flub, but I win with $1, then really shouldn't I have bet $0? $1 isn't that much to take home after taxes.)

The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes is so damn hilarious just because it posits some alternate reality where college quiz bowl is REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT

The computer doesn't need buzzer "technique". The computer does exactly what you're supposed to — it waits until the crew guy pushes the button to make the light come on and buzzes immediately afterwards.

In practice they said that "telling people" is not that big a deal as long as you don't tell people in any way that actually becomes public, as in On the Media public.

Maggie is a sweetheart, and in general the contestant handlers are pretty great at their jobs of taking awkward terrified nerds and turning them into something vaguely telegenic (as I suppose they should be, since it's what they're paid to do).
