Meh, Home Alone got away with that stuff two decades ago. Now, if they implied that Larry was gay, then we'd have trouble.

A friend and I played through it at the same time, each with a different character, and blogged about it. It really is the most fascinating videogame I've ever played. The more I wrote about it, the more I thought about what Ice Pick Lodge was trying to do and was impressed. I think it's an unqualified secret success,…

"Knee-jerk conclusions"? Man, O'Neal is into some kinky stuff.

Shut up, Magnet Man, no one cares what you think.

I'd love to see someone try to tackle the Russian game "Pathologic." There's no way anyone would devote the 20-plus hours needed to finish it just for a single MWOF article, but it's the epitome of a flop that's worthy of wider attention.

I don't know, some yahoos (i.e., the British) pronounce "oo" with a short vowel sound.

I kind of wish every Newswire mentioned Asa Butterfield, just so O'Neal would keep inventing more old-timey activities to go with his name. That's one of my favorite AV Club in-jokes.

Scott Stapp's not a dick, he's just a moron with a drinking problem. He's certainly not on the level of Fred Durst.

No joke. "Why didn’t the album’s gritty-style determine its awesome-style?" almost made me snort my coffee out my nose.

The US version of "The Office" uses slapstick fairly frequently. Or at least it was back in season 5, when I stopped watching. I mean, Kevin with his pot of chili—that's classic slapstick.

"She describes an incident in which she stepped in front of a minivan
filled with classmates who’d been verbally assaulting her, intending to
confront them, and they instead stepped on the gas, slamming her into
the windshield."

First, you register for an account. Then you post a tweet about how you're new to this whole Twitter thing. Then the weight of your self-loathing and media-saturated, aimless desperation causes you to implode and form a black hole where your heart used to be.

@avclub-63cdcaf145863d57408d00bafbe9eee9:disqus I think my favorite part of that video is McGrady's smirk at 1:06. Heartless, yet hilarious.

Wow. It sounds like incompetent "Animorphs" fan fiction.

I more I see of Stephenie Meyer, the more I'm convinced that she basically imagines the way she wants the book cover to look, then writes a story around that.

I love how Twilight is so moronic that the uninitiated are unable to tell whether a batshit rumor is a joke or whether it's actually in the book and intended to be serious.

"But, like, what if you really really want sex, and your spouse doesn't feel like giving you sex? Then it's perfectly understandable! In fact, your spouse is the jerk here!"

For some reason "Invader Zim" really turns my stomach. I can't really put my finger on why it affects me so strongly, but it does, to the point that I can't stand to watch more than one episode at a time. One of the most nauseating things I ever saw on that show was where Zim stares at the sun too long on a dare or…

Ooh, Oldboy. Lots of nauseating stuff in that one. I definitely got a little queasy during the scene where he's performing dental surgery with a claw hammer on that one henchman.

But … but their marketing makes them seem so NICE. If we can't trust their marketers, who can we trust in this crazy world?
