… there are respected gaming editorials? When did that happen?

C'mon, Trurl. Too easy.

Andy's diagnosis of 'network connectivity problems' made me laugh so hard I missed a solid minute of the show after. Joke of the week, for me.

JUST THE TIP!

I can take an awful lot of punishment. And an awful lot of some other things. I wouldn't win, but I'd last a fair while.

BATTLE ROYALE the book? Pretty nearly brilliant. BATTLE ROYALE the movie? Relentlessly mediocre camp. BATTLE ROYALE the manga? Straight up bad.

I need to find a pretty, dark-haired woman to serve me breakfast foods tonight!

At Target, I had a few hours of training videos. The best was clearly the 40 minute long anti-union video, though.

Doublemeat isn't terrible. It's just kind of bland and kind of boring. In the string of episodes going on in Buffy right now, it's actually a little necessary step back from the melodrama.

Nope, notoftenpunctual. My ex and her whole circle of friends found that one hot. But as soon as I try it, everything ends in tears.

I'd like to stick up for AVP - the first one, at least. Requiem was, indeed, a piece of shit.

I never realize how much I enjoy the show until I'm in the middle of watching it. Why is THE GOOD WIFE so awesome, yet so hard to get excited about?

THE MIDDLEMAN is still probably the best live action superhero show ever.

I guess you shouldn't have been so desperate for a shag, Randy Giles, because it led to the unfortunate STD-laden situation you find yourself now in.

"Doublemeat" isn't good, but it's far from the worst in the series. Unfortunately.

Two Week Break
Is anyone else sad that we'll have to go out on 'Provider' and 'Doublemeat' before a two week break? Seems almost unfair.

Cowboy Bebop is the classic example, for me, of nailing the landing, but there are some other good ones. Paranoia Agent and Fullmetal Alchemist, as has been mentioned, and THE IRRESPONSIBLE CAPTAIN TYLOR. It runs into a wall in the third-to-last and penultimate episodes, but pulls itself together beautifully for the…

Unless advertisers have some way to know when I walk away from my TV, Sum Guy, it's actually pretty different.

I thought it was a really solid movie, but "Funny People" fans are definitely in the minority on the AV Club. It's a complicated blend of funny and dramatic and it manages both sides well without writing either side off. The Mann sequence dragged, but I can't honestly imagine the movie without it.
