I had to stop using Lydia as a follower because I just felt guilty for loading her down with all my crap every time she gave me that sarcastic line about carrying my burdens.

To be fair, Roadhog HAS more skin by surface area than any other character.

I have only lightly dabbled in Bethesda's games, but I get the impression story and character are not at all their strong suit. Which is why I have only lightly dabbled until now. The expansive world design is very cool once you get the hang of navigating, though.

Oh, I know, I'm pretty sure that's the five-dollar one, and the other two are twenty bucks each. I know you get a free upgrade to the remastered version if you have all of them, which is cheaper than springing for the full price of it, but eh. If the free upgrade is retroactive, I'll see how I feel by Christmas.

I know I'm five years late to the party, but I finally decided to get past my irrational dislike of Skyrim and give it another shot, and I'm really having fun with it.

The episode that involved a monkey being hidden inside a basketball for some reason, and Cragen dramatically shouting "The monkey's in the basketball!" at the climax of the plot, has attained a kind of legendary status among my friends.

I don't remember where I saw it, but "Dorito Mussolini."

We have a weatherman named Kerry Schwindenhammer. I always want to write a song about him to the tune of "Gary, Indiana."

Oxford? Sounds foreign. I want to see those commas' birth certificates.

Culture Club, for me. "Time" gives me trauma flashbacks now. Ugh.

I guess you're just alone in your principles. There he goes, off to write that hit song "Alone In My Principles."

Now that's not fair. That's such a simplistic view of things.

Depends on whether you consider an eighth-grader a kid.

I remember reading that story for the first time in seventh grade or so, when I still had enough faith in the American government that I didn't understand why everyone in the story was so terrified of the prospect of Deustcher being elected president. I mean, how much damage could a president really do? We're a…

I was going to say that no puzzle could possibly be worse than that fucking cave maze with the glowing berries in Legend of Kyrandia, but then I remember that I actually did eventually finish that game, whereas I gave up on Myst in abject disgust twenty minutes in and never went back.

I am! I'm loving all the class fantasy stuff. The paladin order hall is getting me all emotional. And Val'sharah has to be my favorite zone since…I don't even know what.

I was worried about the "grand finale" feel of it too, but there are elements in it (not wanting to spoil you) that really do seem to be setting up a next expansion that could go in a REALLY awesome direction. So here's hoping.
