I assume it's tragically uncool to admit to being a Deadhead here at the A.V. Club, but as a man with over a terabyte of Dead bootlegs, I'm beyond excited for this.

Fuck off.

But none of that two complete passes equals a first down bullshit.

Here is my unsolicited advice, as a former software developer with friends in the gaming industry: If you already have a computer science degree, but no real work experience

That brings me up to 3.5. What takes us up to 4.5?

I don't remember that. I do, however, remember a really weird ad for either Super Mario World or Yoshi's Island where Yoshi and a morbidly obese dude are in an eating contest in a restaurant, and the fat guy eats so much he explodes, and everyone is covered with guts and partially digested food.

What's the .5, the Sonic levels of Adventure 2?

Eye of the Beholder was originally one of the Gold Box D&D games for DOS. It later got ported to the GBA as well.

After I finish that one, the next book on the stack is Nixonland, which I've started and stopped three…

I've probably watched Tombstone more times than I've watched any other movie. I grieve the loss of Curly Bill.

I also really like holding the R button for accurate manual aiming with the stick. I feel like there should be trade-offs between mobility and accuracy, which really disconnects me from the modern shooter.

The newest Jason Bourne movie, which seemed to be filmed by putting the camera inside of a bowling, made me nauseated and gave me a headache, and feel really bead for people with glaucoma.

I had to do the same thing at age 12.

As someone who wants to watch Gundam, but is intimidated by the fact that there are 4,000 different Gundam series, where should someone start?
