I've got a spin on the "Bad Date Movie".  For about a year or so, I hung out with two friends regularly - Bill and Kim.  Because of some sort of mental defect, I didn't notice that Bill had a huge crush on Kim ( I guess the attempt to take her to a romantic Valentine's Day date should've tipped me off), and would end…

As others had mentioned, though, Alan Moore isn't pretending that League was the Official Continuation of those stories.
  (And DC already had Holmes appear in Batman, so there)

Yeah, that's an odd argument.  It's Moore's stories, not the characters (which Watchmen is essentially a bunch of pre-existing characters anyways). 

Damn it, I just replied to the previous thread about it.

The perfect Sierra On-Line game will always be one that wasn't made by them - "Peasant Quest".

Yeah, the Gabriel Knight games struck a nice middle ground - you could die, but you'd go "Yeah, I can see why that happened".
  Sadly, I never got to play the CD-ROM version that had Tim Curry.

Police Quest had that awesome variation on "must have the game manual to answer the question" - you had to inspect the tires on your police car when you got in, otherwise you instantly got four flat tires and the game ends.

One of my favorite bits from the third Monkey Island when you fake your death, and the other characters remark about LucasArts "going in a different direction".

The NES version, IIRC, had some weird censorship of Maniac Mansion - anything remotely suggestive or violent was removed (such as, I believe, the infamous "hamster in the microwave")

I was on the other side - I found the King's Quest and Space Quest games to be, at times, immensely frustrating - especially having a scoring system that was almost impossible to get 100% without a hintbook, which I think was the point.  The "Rumpelstiltskin" puzzle was the worst offender.
  Also, I didn't care for the…

Not a graphic adventure game.  Fail.

The still pictures of Guybrush and Eliane from the original did need to be changed, though.

The gas tower puzzle?  Loved it.  I figured out I could hide before the cops arrived, and as I stood there I thought "Why can't I just siphon the gas from their vehicle?"

Gibson has always recognized that sci-fi often says more about the time it was written rather than about the actual future (re: "The Gernsback Continuum")… something I don't think fellow writer Bruce Sterling has grasped, or at least he pretends not to grasp.

@Mexican Blade Runner - I'll never forget his anecdote about going to see Blade Runner while almost done with Neuromancer and being profoundly depressed because he felt the movie had beaten him to the punch.

Not all of them.  Al usually has some originals that aren't parodies or style songs (except in the general sense, like country music for "Good Enough For Now")

Reading comprehension… of what, 99% of what was written?  I guess you should be congratulated you managed to somehow pull "Elvis Costello" and "St. Vincent" out of the text in the half-second before you made a post on something you couldn't be bothered to actually go over.

There's almost a sensory overload in the Dark Angel Saga, but it works. You get the feeling that it's going to on "Best Comic Book Storylines" in the future, alongside the old Dark Phoenix Saga.

Hickman has an amazing talent for re-readability as well; considering, for instance, all the jumbled nonsensical memories of Leonid in Issue 2, which all fell into place over the next few issues.
 And kudos to him for making a small reference to one of the most overlooked miniseries in Marvel history, Conspiracy.

The thing is, it became apparent that there was no 'mystery' to solve; Chris Carter was simply making it all up as he went along.  Not necessarily a bad thing, except he demonstrated a marked ability to not effectively build on what happened prior.
  And some of the wrap-ups - especially the one for Mulder's sister -…
