Look, there's only a limited number of Mary Elizabeth Winstead shackled to a bed films out there, and I don't need you ruining them with your mental images of how John Goodman needs to hurry up and play Ignatius J. Reilly before it's too late.

Dude, "Kaiju" is not the preferred nomenclature. Strange-Beast-American, please.

Outrageous!

Why should I tell you? You're Hitler!

She was kind of on one before, but there's more than one of everything.

Basically I thought I was playing a game in which it was possible to do everything with stealth and I learned too late that I was playing a game in which you do lots of stealth until something goes wrong at which point it switches to ass-kicking mode, and I'd put so much into it I couldn't face replaying it again

Only because they weren't on Spotify until recently. Because the Beatles' greatest enemy… is obscurity.

I do hate the EFF a little more though, so job half done?

As I understand it, if there's anyone who can help you get some tang it's Bill Clinton.

Have you ever noticed… how drone strikes… are just like nuclear reactors? Really. They both get the most support from the people furthest from them, they make by-products that can take many, many years to stop being a threat and they're both pretty dangerous alternatives to reducing our consumption of fossil fuels.

My favourite depiction of the afterlife is the final chapter of Julian Barnes' A History of the World in 10½ Chapters.

Birth of the Federation is definitely the worst game I played non-stop for two years.

Maybe people who dislike Alpha Protocol had the same problem I did, viz picking all stealth upgrades then running into the boss fight that is fucking impossible unless you have picked combat upgrades. The only way I got past that was because it glitched and he somehow got trapped up to his waist in the floor. But

I can't wait to sit through five minutes of credits just for the Carmen Sandiego cameo.

Ohhhhh, so many bad memories of non-traditional Trotskyite pantomimes performed at primary schools in front of bemused 9-year-olds who don't know why they're being asked to scream 'It's behind you' at a skellington that is meant to represent the tortured soul of Milton Friedman.
