The rest of the time, it was…

Come on in heeeeeeeeereeeee…

And the commercial is on every 30 seconds, it seems.

In other news, no true Scotsman blah blah blah, yakety schmakety.

EVERYBODY KNOWS

Needs more Gleaming The Cube.

Pretty much the only thing I like about that finale is that it retcons awful cheating Dan out of reality and replaces him with saintly dead Dan.

The internet really just likes Kat Dennings for two reasons.

Yeah, I'm not on the spectrum (that I know of). I'm just an asshole.

I don't really care for it, but I find the "Nerd Minstrel Show" criticism overwrought and hilarious.

1) Viewpoint A
2) Opposing viewpoint to A
3) Viewpoint B
4) Opposing viewpoint to B
5) Viewpoint C

Same amount of joy? Not exactly. I got promoted to a position I don't want at a job I hate. But hey, slightly more money!

GONNA START A WAR!

I like the interpretation that Spidey's quips serve to distract both his foes and the people he's trying to save. Calling Doc Ock a fatass both antagonizes him and gives the terrified six-year-old he's holding hostage a nice, calming chuckle.

Honestly, the fun of Descent comes from how frustrating and unfair-seeming the whole experience is. It gets absurd real fast. The closest feeling to it I can think of is a game of Paranoia.

What you all are referring to is what I think of as poker's equivalent of the puncher's chance. You're right that it can't be eliminated entirely by a player of skill, but I maintain that it can be mitigated, and over the course of a single game. Perhaps I overreach by saying "completely," but even then, a poker…

Has anyone played the Catan card games? I got the base set for my brother and his wife for Christmas, since I knew they liked regular Settlers of Catan, but haven't played it myself.

You've made one today, what with your totally accurate lambasting of Clue. What's your favorite board game from when you were a kid?
