I posted another great joke in a different panel from Mockingbird #1 on my Instagram the day i got it. That’s a good book.

Lifetime pass for 'Another Green World" or Reverse Lifetime Pass for 'We Can't Dance?"

Jesus Christ.

Alternate headline, ‘The Week in Games: What You Pokken Bout, Willis?’

It really stood out to me since I watched the first season on disc and never though twice about the swearing. I thought at first the audio cut out and then I remembered "Oh, yeah. TV."

Based on a recommendation here a while back I've been really into Gems of War. However playing on PS4 I really don't see purpose of requiring an online connection. Especially when they've been having server troubles the past few days. For a match-3 puzzle game.

Whoever coined the term 'social justice warrior' as an insult is really terrible at branding, because that sounds fucking awesome.

and perhaps a very special episode of Diff'rent Strokes.

The “holes” in modern media cases do more than just save plastic. They also drastically reduce the weight in bulk quantities which saves on fuel, emissions, etc.

1. Looks like AVC isn't gonna review it, but the new Esperanza Spalding record is stellar. I've always maintained that it's unfair for one person to be such a wonderful jazz bassist and jazz singer and this album takes that into prog-territory. Not in a weird way (Can/Mars Volta) but more of a rock-ish way (Gentle
