SAY IT AIN'T SO-DOR.

Pretty sure this is true, as I haven't read the books and haven't heard that term until tonight.

The Depths, because of those curse-spewing gecko things. They're easy to avoid or kill when you know what you're doing, but the first time I encountered them, they fucked me up, over and over again.

I would like to give the world a break from more shit that they need to catch up on. Here's five more podcasts, and ten more movies, and a dozen more indie bands, and six more graphic novels that you've gotta know about…aaaaargh! Let's all just chill for awhile, watch Magnum PI, and not worry about the more, more,…

I'm a bit of a self-hating gamer: I love certain games, but hate myself when my priorities become warped to the point where it seems important to reach a certain goal. Skyrim was a cruel mistress: just need to spend a few more minutes picking flowers for potions (three hours pass…).

What's the big deal? Didn't she release a new one recently? [checks calendar, realizes my sense of "new" music is way off.] Oh.

I was about to say: why don't you just tell me what you mean, without the cute references? But I've just been saying that I do the same thing, so that would be hypocritical, huh?

I'm afraid I have no idea what this means.

I know that…I meant, I have gotten that "what's wrong with you?" response when quoting this line in the real world, assuming that everyone's as big a nerd as me. (Which is ironic, of course, since the scene itself is about Kirk failing to fit in with the normals, looking like a doofus.)

This quote will puzzle people who don't know the movie. "Wow, you're really bad at swearing…" "No, I'm doing a bit…from Star Trek…forget it…"

Lack of Cage made up for by Frankenstein's monster created by Ben Franklin, perhaps?

"Professor, look what I've invented. A pair of socks that wakes you up if you fall asleep while driving. Just think of all the lives we could save!"

Sleepy Hollow = National Treasure, improved with time travel and witches

Gotta be. The other thing sounds like something a kid came up with to retroactively explain the term. (Like KISS stands for "Knights in Satan's Service"…not really, but I guess it does now).

Then how will I describe my beats?

Come back to me, my pizza angel!

I once had a girlfriend who got free videos from her video store job, and free pizza from her previous pizzeria job.

For Christ's sake. I wanted to talk about Mad Max (and how the AV Club grades things), not this. If someone said "it's really not that difficult to understand" to my face, I'd think, "Jesus…what's your problem?" I can't think of a context where it wouldn't be patronizing/obnoxious, so that's how I read it. …

Let me rewrite that for you: "This list is the result of eight different ballots. The movies were graded in the initial reviews by a single person."

Noticed that Mad Max, best film of 2015 according to the AV Club, earned an A- from the AV Club….???
