The introduction, with Tantive IV and the Star Destroyer flying in from overhead, the boarding party of storm troopers making short work of the rebels, and Darth Vader busting in to choke people, is absolutely masterful.

I feel like a dislike of being touched by a hyperventilating, unpredictable-seeming stranger is more universal than autistic.

I actually liked the Ghost in the Shell remake. The script was all over the place, but it looked really good.

It's excellent for sure. I've been on a Common One kick lately, which, uh, maybe I'm the only person whose ever done that.

Ask the Beta Band.

When I beat Twilight Princess for the first time, I happened to be playing on July 4th, and when I finally beat Ganondorf, and the ending cut scene started to play, immediately, our town's gigantic fireworks display started to go off. I hadn't been expecting it, and was totally surprised, but it felt like everyone…

The Phillie Phanatic is maybe the worst mascot of all time.

I've started making them with gin instead of whisky, and it does wonders for a cold.

I'm sorry, but the best episode is clearly the one where a transporter error causes there to be two Rikers.

There's a thirty minute Batman/Wonderwoman movie that freaking awesome somewhere in there, and it's a shame that the other 2.5 hours are not good.

One of my friends got fired from Best Buy, because he had a degree in audio engineering and would constantly talk customers out of buying headphones.

You have to get the Blockbuster door chime tone. I don't know why it was unique enough to be burned into my brain, but it was.

I'll miss Radio Shack because it was the last place still around where you could buy electronic components. If I'm in the middle of a job on a Saturday and realize I need a part, I want to be able to drive down to the store, pick up what I need, and then finish where I left off. If I have to buy something on Amazon,…

I didn't believe you at first that 2003 was twelve years ago, and after the math checked out, I punched my monitor.

I'm a high school teacher, and tomorrow starts our summer break. My slow crawl through Breath of the Wild is about to become an unhealthy binge. I'm kind of afraid to beat this game. I've been playing it a little bit every other day for almost three months, and it will feel very strange to be done with it.

Miike's remakes of 13 Assassins and Hara-Kiri are two of my very favorite movies. I had no idea he was making Blade of the Immortal, but I am now super excited.

Also, Phil's insane bass riff announcing a transition to The Other One.

Weir and Mydland may have been even worse.

Nothing like the first five seconds of a summer '73 "Eyes of the World" to put a stupid grin on my face.

I haven't read that, but Phil's autobiography has a lot of fun Owsley stories in it.
