This is usually my attitude, I wait until there's at least one or two big DLCs, usually about a year, before moving to the next incarnation. Neither Civ IV nor V were really playable when released.

Man, this hit home. I've played Civ almost exclusively for the last 10 years, with occasional forays into old RPGs. Civ V with the expansion packs is definitely the best of the bunch. But a couple of mods to III and IV are almost as good as vanilla V.

Also: Diane Lane.

Ellen Aim and the Attackers is definitely my pick. The energy in that place as she starts up Nowhere Fast is electric. It would probably even be worth getting punched in the face by a leather-clad biker.

I spent the whole show thinking she was Olivia Munn's little sister.

In what way, shape or form was Steve Jobs not as financially successful as Bill Gates?

Actually, something knocks the camera out of Heather's hands and THEN the screen goes blank. Even scarier.

"But Arkham City and The Dark Knight have something much
more important in common: They’re so sublime, they render their
predecessors nearly forgettable by comparison."

Good idea. Technology is cyclical.

Another shout out for the last ten minutes or so of Last of the Mohicans. Just the best combination of scene/pacing/music I've ever seen. Just thinking about it has me humming the theme and wanting to watch it.

You have to think big
I've spent a lot of time thinking about this, because when you imagine that you'll be one of the hero-type survivors, apocalypses are kind of a nice daydream.

@riddle of steel, you're being awfully generous. I'd put the cannon-fodder portion of humanity at well in excess of 50 percent.

Does snark get any better than this?
I think not. Sean is at his best whenever Turn off the Dark comes up.

Agreed. I'd be surprised if there's a better analysis to be found anywhere on the web.

Dan Tacos, I don't think you're going to like the future very much.

I would pay like five times over to see Moon Knight on the big screen. Good God.

Dowd, your questions about the Sidewaysverse reflect my big problem with the finale. It seems hopelessly tacked on; I have a hard time believing this was the intention for from the beginning, rather than what they came up with halfway through the season when they found themselves back into a corner.

I enjoyed the episode, but hated the ending and think it cheapened a lot of what came before. Not because all the questions and mysteries weren't answered. I think enough of them DID get answered that I can fill in the blanks.

Their harmonies are as good as I've ever heard, and those girls can pluck the SHIT out of a mandolin. Well made, fun to listen to music.

Until you've had a raging hard-on that seems to quite literally be telling you what to do, don't knock the evolutionary biology.
