Fictional or not, I demand Scout's Honor characters in the next edition of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.

In a tie-in to some of the other entertainment available on Sunday night, George R.R. Martin has noted that the Glencoe Massacre is one of the real-life inspirations for the Red Wedding.

WAR ENDED BY ONE CHILD'S FAITH*

That's a fair point, but given how many powerful monsters were defeated by having Wakka throw the ball used for that sport at them, I would say that the line between sport and war is especially blurred on Spira. Go Aurochs!

That one about Cyclops's complicated history of relationships, A Scott Summers Night's Dream

DON: [rakes his fingers back through his perfect hair, smiles wryly]

Yes, that seems to be correct- it was an executive order from Nixon in 1969 that actively took high-denomination bills out of circulation, though as noted above, they had largely been used for federal bank transfers anyway. No new ones had been printed since 1945 anyway. The few hundred that still exist are officially…

The broken beer bottle thing immediately came to mind when I saw this headline, but I thought about it, and I couldn't think of any instances where a broken bottle was used as a weapon by a hero in a movie. It's almost always a bad guy who the film wants to position as, well, someone bad enough to slash a person with…

I had a save file get corrupted in the original God of War, around the middle of the game, with perhaps a couple of hours required to get back to where I was from the previous good save. I was however so displeased that I never played that game again.

St. Barbara was supposed to be a pagan's daughter who secretly converted to Christianity, which eventually led to her martyrdom. There's doubt about whether she actually existed, as the earliest known accounts of her life date several centuries after she supposedly lived. It does seem a bit contrived that a pagan's…

The legitimacy of Rome even mattered to the Ottoman Empire; following the fall of Constantinople, Sultan Mehmed II added to his titles "Kayser-i-Rum."

I bet you could make an "X-Men" trailer that appeals to senior citizens; the series is basically about two stubborn septuagenarians, after all.

SimCity 2000 Transit Advisor: YOU CAN'T CUT BACK ON MAXIS FUNDING, EA! YOU WILL REGRET THIS!

Final Fantasy IV (the Red Wings flying into battle on their airship, so fantastic)

In other words, the Academy friendzoned Peter O'Toole.

I loved the animation for picking up an object out of midair (like Birdo's eggs).

I've long been fascinated by weird glitches and unexpected behaviors in video game programming, so I like tool-assisted speedruns as clever demonstrations of these quirks, many of which require perfectly timed inputs on a particular frame. For instance, many of the classic platformer games have some sort of collision…

Increasingly, the games I play seem to default to a timestamp, which is actually pretty useful. However, if I bother to create a name, the first file is called "Rookie Season," a tradition for me that stretches back to the original Doom.

I would have loved to have been on the set of the chase scene through the mall as well.

Sagas have been written about the time when Björnsson carried the flat pack boxes for an Ektorp, two Malms, a Billy, and five Bjursta on foot from Älmhult to Stockholm.
