I still maintain that no industrial building ever featured in a video game could actually function as a working factory.

Huh, I could have sworn he voiced Green Lantern.

I actually prefer the live version from Learning to Flinch. The faster tempo makes it a lot more fun.

More like Mr. Bad Example.

I vote for an entry on Warren Zevon's "The Factory," because I always vote for something by Warren Zevon.

This suggests that Marvel will finally reap the normally hyperbolic box-office take of All The Money when they finally get around to adapting Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers.

I knew it was time to take a break from Fallout when I had a dream about scavenging a ruined post-apocalyptic version of my own house.

I worked all through Labor Day, which was fine with me, as I didn't have plans. Plus I got a couple of new proofreading assignments and some helpful feedback from one of my bosses. And a problem that I thought would make my life demonstrably worse in the near future apparently went away all by itself! Yay! Low…

Dahl and Ian Fleming were buddies. He also wrote the screenplay for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, based on Fleming's book.

My personal favorite cosplayers were a couple of women dressed as Blue Beetle and Booster Gold that I met at NYCC last year. And I'm not just saying that because they gave me a cookie when I complimented them.

You know, it occurs to me that this is a series whose secret cabal of Illuminati-esque evil manipulators of world events is actually called "the Illuminati." I don't know how much originality and nuance we could have expected.

Don't apologize for that analogy, as it is awesome. Now I'm going to think "Screw the dolphins!" whenever the subject comes up.

All right, now all I need to zoom to the top of the leaderboard is a flimsy games-related excuse to rant about the X-Men every week.
