Crostini!

"Helper."

Agreed on your second point. Bastila is pretty haughty and annoying, but she has the voice of an uptight-but-sexy librarian.

One problem I have with Bioware is that their games reward you for going ALL IN on good or evil (Jade Empire is a strong example of this). Some of the best items (lightsaber crystals) and pretty much all of the best Force powers are only available to all-the-way light or dark jedi. Which makes narrative sense, but I'd…

I feel like Jade Empire at least made an attempt to give the evil (excuse me, "closed fist") choices some nuance. I also liked the interplay of intuition, charm and intimidation and how they play into your conversation options.

I really hated that part. Like, I felt genuinely bad about making a fictional character kill his fictional best friend. I don't even like Mission, I'd have no problem killing her myself. It's something about corrupting that wookiee's good loyal heart…

My only problem with the dark side path is suspending my disbelief that the "good" people in your party (Carth, Bastila, Mission and Zaalbar) would keep hanging out with you when you're clearly an evil asshole.

My first playthrough was as a light side lightsaber-focused guardian, and while fighting with two upgraded lightsabers is pretty badass, I felt like I wasn't having as much fun with the Force as you should in a Star Wars game. So the next time through I played as a dark side sentinel, with more of a focus on the…

God, I need to play that sequel.

By 'bathtub' do you mean 'mystical pool in a cave that comes from out of nowhere and sticks out like a sore thumb?'

Teti is awesome, but no one can write like O'Neal. Some of his newswire articles are on my list of all-time funniest things I've ever read.

I'm sorry your mom is a garbage person.

Okay, you don't have to shout it every time…

BENGHAZI

I'd like to think so, but this trailer is not governed by reason.

Definitely by season count. By episode count they're about halfway through The Simpsons' sixth season, so they're still a few short seasons away from surpassing its quality run. I love Sunny, but I hope they end it soon. It's hard to imagine it could sustain itself much longer.

One of my old roommates got me to watch it several years ago. When it got to the big reveal he just looked over at me with this big satisfied grin on his face, like he just knew my mind was blown. It was all I could do not to look him in the eye and say "That ending is terrible and you should feel bad."

I like how Mike Nelson (in the Return of the King rifftrax, during a scene in Mount Doom) describes that fight as "Anakin and Obi Wan twirling around, shrieking at each other."

Thank you. Fuck that movie.

Don't forget that near the end of RotS, Padme says "Ani, you're breaking my heart" and "I don't know you anymore."
