haha, that game could be a total piss-off. I can't hate on Tecmo too much, it is a great game.

There was an amazing Commodore game called Splat! where you are a racecar running over pedestrians. When you hit one there's a gruesome sound and they turn into a red blotch. I love that early era where the limitations in graphics meant sociopathic violence in games was quaint and harmless.

C'mon now, the only acceptable side-scrolling sports game is NBA Jam. All others, from hockey to football, require the up-field view. Even the crappy Mutant League games got that right.

Totally agree, but I think we gotta put number 1 in first before we get to the others. I recently replayed 1 on an emulator and I was surprised how well it held up for an 8-bit RPG from the 80's. There's a lot of interesting ideas and delightful weirdness, and some inspired character designs. The weather is getting…

Hey, if I was in Minnesota I'd join you for sure, even if you put raisins in your carrot cake.

To lure more people in I recommend leaving out the "vegan" part and just doing a bait and switch when they get there. But be prepared to have lots of people complaining about the zucchini in the brownies.

*Week 20* Okay, it's still number 1 for some reason, but trust me, it's going down next week with the highly anticipated release of Monuments Men 2: Mo' Monuments, Mo' Problems

Wait, is all this true? The movie was so forgettable I can't refute any of this information. What about the little ball type alien probe thingy that goes around tearing up the roads and bridges and stuff?

Does anyone know if they have insurance for this kind of thing? How much of this judgment can Hogan actually hope to get? I assume companies like this have a thin margin, and he'll probably end up getting whatever the office furniture fetches at auction.

Jezebel is cringe-worthy for sure. They were doing a pile-on on Franzen the other day, which I actually enjoyed because its Franzen and he deserves it, but a lot of commenters including those who hadn't read him seemed to dismiss his works outright as garbage because they're written by a straight white male and…

The joke was in how dated and absurd the reference was. "Smokin'! Smokin'! Smokin'!"

In American English it's judgment. And since this is an American website we have to follow the Patriot Act and ensure we only use American spelling. It's why I, as a Canadian, removed my "u" key and replaced it with an elaborate keyboard shortcut - so that I don't spell words like harbour and colours and wind up at…

As a lawyer I guarantee you that hypothetical opinion contained just enough cautionary language to get him off the hook. We're not expected to be clairvoyant with our advice but we can't speak in absolutes either, so as long as your opinion contains something that suggests you could be wrong (even if you think the…

So I take it no one has introduced Gail to Yelp?

The Watch needed a better screenwriter and it would have been great. There were too many character cliches.

No joke, I read a comment the other day about this film that accused "Social Justice Warriors" as being responsible for Paul Feig making a movie that has four women in it.

Carrie Fisher would be my real answer, but yours makes me laugh.

Totally. They could give him a great line like "I was killing guys like this ten years ago with my bare hands!"

Somehow no one has mentioned that this is the exact plot of the Steven King/Bachman novel The Running Man.

I was quite glad to see her go. She was so awful I wondered if they weren't shooting the earlier episodes while still writing the later ones and actually wrote her off the show. That actress has zero comedic instincts.
