Ma'am I may be drunk, but you, you, you are….I may be drunk but you…you're…I may be drunk….I may be drunk….I maybe….drunk….ma'am…..ugly drunk….I'm…….maybe….

He still tried to read them the riot act over it, though, and shit his pants in front of the whole country like a chump. You think he's going to have a better grasp of, like, anything else? Ever? Dude doesn't even know how to cook a fuckin' steak.

Well, the health care debacle shows that some in Congress are perfectly willing to stand up to him- it's just that they're mostly all insane, so they only want to stand up to him when he isn't being evil enough for their purposes.

He'll have to start engendering a lot more loyalty from people who aren't inveterate toadies and lickspittles before that ends with anything other than a noose thrown over a D.C. lamppost.

Fallout 4 had its own filler problems with those radiant quests you could never really finish, though. I just want to talk to Preston without him giving me another goddamned settlement to go "save", for Christ's sake!

There's two that are baffling me right now. One looks like a drawn bow and arrow in profile and the other is, like, a skull with crossed knives. They're really far away from where I am right now (halfway through the first Cauldron), so I haven't actually walked over to see what they are because I can't tell if it's

I am fucking loving HZD, but I have no clue what half the icons on this map are supposed to mean.

I really loved the gameplay of Guns of the Patriots, but I would literally fall asleep during the cutscenes (because I was playing it at like midnight and they're 45 minutes long) and eventually I had to give up because I had no fucking clue what was going on or what I was supposed to be doing.

It's some kind of weirdly primal fear. I've played a million "horror" games with a smile on my face and a song in my heart, but the second you virtually put me underwater my palms start to sweat. I had to look up whether or not there was any ocean-based combat in Bioshock 2, and even after I found out that there

Oh god I forgot about that part. I fucking love GTAV (it's probably my second favorite in the series fight me) and the second I got that mission I was like FUCK THIS, both because it was tedious and because I'm a huge weenie about underwater shit in video games.

I think that definitely makes it feel like more of an obligation on the part of the player for sure. If I see a bunch of statistics like "3/100 trees found" or whatever, it's just human nature to pursue it as a goal.

Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with games that have a lot to do- I think the Witcher 3 is a great example of a recent game that was absolutely jam-packed with content and also did a credible job of making that content feel worthwhile. But the ur-example of this concept done badly, in my opinion, is those

I don't think there's anything particularly new about video game content filler beyond the new commonality of presentation across a wide variety of games (which is to say- the map full of icons). You can look back as far as Daggerfall in 1996 to see examples of filler in games. If anything's changed, it's just the kind

The Gay Agenda:

Still a more realistic baby than in American Sniper.

The only thing he feels for Neeson is love, actually.

It's probably hard for an actor when they're typecast like that, but Backstrom just became such an indelible part of our shared world culture that it's pretty understandable in this case.

I, of course, would have just called them all chazwozzers.

"Conspiracy" is completely insane on a few levels- for one, it's super-graphic for Star Trek and for another it presented a plot that definitely should have been followed up on. They kind of hand-wave it away by saying "oh the rest of the aliens can't survive without the leader" but…uh, are we, like…really sure about

I don't understand how that makes the sequence of "THIS MOVIE KICKS ASS CHECK OUT OUR REVIEW" [click] "MEDIOCRE FILM, D-" any less amusing?
