They should do an AV Book Club. We can all read The Time Machine and then come back a week later to discuss. Or better yet, let's read The Time Machine Did It. That book is better.

I think the fourth wins. It has a kind of modernist feel to it, with the house flatly drawn out of perspective. Given the film's use of angular shots and Bela Bartok music, it's quite fitting.

At least he wasn't ranting about the color of any desks this time. You know, because it's real noticeable if a desk is green in a black and white film.

A GTA game based on the actual Los Angeles would be cool. Until you spend two hours in traffic trying to get from Culver to Santa Monica. APPLE MAPS SAID IT WOULD TAKE 20 MINUTES, GODDAMMIT!

New Vegas managed to do a fine job of capturing the Mojave. I was so happy to see Searchlight turned into a radioactive crater. Take that, Harry Reid!

If you are referring to my… desires for sheep, then no, madame, I said precisely what I meant to say.

I wish New Vegas would have let you mount a bighorn. As a native Mojavean (Mojavite?) that would have fulfilled some longstanding fantasies.

I use Bootcamp for much of my gaming. It works wonderfully, but having to restart every time I want to play a non-Mac game gets annoying, to say the least. On the other hand, a number of official OSX releases are all but unplayable—Penumbra, The Wolf Among Us, and The Witcher, for instance—so being able to boot into

I'm living under the fantasy that Fallout 3 and 4 aren't part of the same canon as the original series and NV. I say to myself, "I'm not really here… I'm not really here" whenever they come up.

Bethesda's Fallout games make me sad. I know that's incredibly dumb—to get angry over a damn video game—but Fallout 2 was special for me. I played through it middle school at the same time as my friends, and we would discuss the kind of ridiculous shit we'd find in that game. Like the shotgun wedding, or that shitty

I get that. I used to tune out when I got high, but of late I've gone in the opposite direction: I get focused and outgoing. It's probably because I'm prone to anxiety normally, so I tend to relax more when stoned. To be fair, I've seriously taken up painting only fairly recently, so I'm still in the stage of copying

I usually draw better when I'm high. I don't get bored, and so I'm better able to reproduce a scene then when I'm sober. For painting, though, I need to be sober, since it's too technical to do stoned.

You should always trust websites with the word "gossip" in their url. As we all know, gossip is always a trustworthy source.

Dustin Diamond scholarship is sorely absent from most of today's universities.

It's kind of bullshit that you can walk around with guns and it's okay but a knife—a perfectly legitimate tool with practical uses—can get you nine months in prison. I carry around a knife for work sometimes; am I going to have to worry about being arrested for that? or does it only count if I'm a former child star?

This is more "low budget 80s John Carpenter film" than grindhouse. Also, most grindhouse movies sucked. Get over it, Tarantino.

I remember being told to appreciate being a kid. These days we tell kids "it gets better." Both seem to be disingenuous, from my experience.

You see, that's actual irony, there. And dramatic, too. That's the best kind.

That explains why his standup is so terrible. It's a front for his money laundering operation.
