Also, all of our uncles work for Ninetendo and gave us all the cheat codes and let us play games that aren't out yet.

Wait, wouldn't Mirror Universe Hillary Clinton be a spineless layabout of some sort? Oh, I can never keep up with these sci-fi rules.

I have to assume the father-creation system plays out something like this:

The Gameological Society does not endorse the cool crime of stealing.

This Week In Some Exotic Location With Lots of Craggy Ruins: Okay, well, I have to admit that Bros Before Chocobos is going on indefinite hiatus because Final Fantasy XV bored me to tears. After six to ten hours with a band of paper-thin yahoos running around a dull, empty world doing fetch quest after fetch quest and

I am perfectly happy with there being more Day of the Dead related stories, because it gets us one stop closer to the Grim Fandango Broadway musical that I am definitely not writing in my head right now, thank you.

So there are multiple sci-fi black supremacist groups out there? What a time to be alive.

Gosh, what a tragedy that would be.

I recall seeing a group of those on campus back in my college days. I think their angle was that white people were created in a lab by a mad scientist or something along those lines.

Hey, I'm midway through DS9 too! Excuse me, sir, how much Brien do you have on this space station?

Marvel's approach to diversity so far has been pretty clear, for better or for worse: the leads need to more or less resemble their comics counterparts, but the supporting cast doesn't have to. So expecting Danny not to be a blond white dude was never going to pan out.

Where's Lon Chaney?

The current Marvel Hulk show on Disney XD does those all the damn time, but they're more pointless and distracting than anything else.

Even better, I think the precise line was "beaucoup koo-koo," which is a delightful bit of bilingual rhyming wordplay.

If I were a member of the Pennsylvania legislature, I don't think I could restrain myself from calling the governor "Tom Corbett, Space Cadet" every time I talked about him. It wouldn't even matter which party I was in, it would just happen every time like clockwork.

DON'T DATE ROBOTS!
