Incredibly talented and also worked well in ensemble casts. Why the hell couldn't he had better taste in women too?

Deus Ex just got bumped to Q2 2011, not 2012 (although the maker's financial woes might turn it into "never")

Nintendo has had a long and glorious career in 3-D video games - see "Virtual Boy".

We'll see if L.A. Noire is more like Half-Life 2… or Duke Nukem Forever.

Really, the trolls on AVClub aren't even worth reading anymore.

Well, Pratchett can meet a deadline - and he's still alive, so there's two over Adams.

I said like, Dottie… LIKE!

Damn you all to Hades for reminding me of Phil Hartman's death.

What about the Madden Miracle?
You know, where EA created a magical best-selling game that people will buy near-identical versions of every year.

Community uses its ensemble cast very effectively, and impressed me with defying the usual sitcom practice of having characters never grow or change despite whatever happens in an episode. (And Jeff lampshaded the practice, and the initial show concept, in the episode that started the spring semester).

I like how someone accuses another of being "fucking stupid", and yet continues to refer to scenes set in the future as a "flash sideways". But thanks for pointing out the bait-and-switch 'alternate reality was really purgatory' nonsense that pissed so many LOST fans off.

Peter Pan and the Pirates
One of the best is missing from the list - Captain Hook is given the traditional "Scrooge" treatment, ending with the future version finally being killed by Pan who is deeply affected by the loss of his arch-nemesis… until the next day when he's already forgotten Hook. Hook's lesson? That

Santana
He probably deserves some sort of "Least Essential Lifetime Achievement Award" by now.

"Christmas at Ground Zero" is one of two Weird Al Xmas songs (the other mentioned above)

Still Waiting
For "Christmas at Ground Zero" to become a holiday standard.

Thanks, Keith
Professionalism and integrity are rarities, especially on the Internet. Much appreciated.

Frankly, while the trolling on AVClub is usually subpar, I am shocked and appalled at the tepid attempt by "Skeptic". What, no personal assaults on AVClub staff by name?
Although you gain amusement points for another complainy troll who talks about how bad AVClub is while talking about he/she/it reads it all the
