My introduction to Will Wheaton was the Orphan Black "Talking Black" style thing-a-ma-jig. It didn't exactly tempt me to look at his comedic or acting chops. This might be unfair, though, as I don't think anyone could come across well in one of those contrived discussions.

Isn't he?

It interests me more than the usual late night fare. (Conan, Letterman, et al.)

I didn't even know it aired here. I was pissed off when IFC took the "Reggie Makes Music" clips off of YouTube. I need to have Paul F Tompkins' birds in my ear holes again.

Well I have to find the other Weird Al episode. He's also how I got into the show. As much hate as Chris Hardwick gets, at least he's self aware. Tosh is pure, unadulterated douchebag.

Will you hold me when it's over?

Thank god. I was worried I'd begin to feel obligated to socialize with friends. *shudders*

I don't want to Google so I'll ask you fine folk: is this the finale of Hannibal?

Existential dread.

Where were you for all the insensitive depictions of magicians as hapless, grandiose morons who commit themselves to perpetuating an anachronistic performance?

It's very hit or miss, but it's usually worth a watch if one of your favourite comedians is a contestant. There was one with Weird Al that was hilarious, and Paul F Tompkins is on a few of them. Patton Oswalt, Kumail Nanjiani, Paul Scheer, Rob Huebel, the list goes on and there's no other place on TV where you'll see

Nor was I, but he had the passion and the balls to put all of his money into making a story that he loved. The world needs people like him.

Are you from Sweden?

I don't see how that's irony. My comments about the PS4 are clearly subjective. Had I said, "PS4 games suck and there's nothing good about the system" it would have sounded fanboyish.

Corporations, ya can't trust em.

I did see The Heat but I've completely forgotten everything that happens. You might be right, but you can't deny that her weight was the butt of the joke in The Bridesmaids, Mike and Molly, and other films of hers which I've only seen the trailer for.

As I said, that could have still been done as long as you didn't take advantage of loading the game onto your system. Some might not be interested in doing that, but to others it was a great addition. I haven't bought a disc this gen and don't plan on it, however I would have liked to had they kept that feature

My biggest problem is also yours. This is why I've set mine to "Power Save" mode. It still allows me to use my voice to navigate (pausing and playing while watching videos is great, as I don't have to find the controller in the dark), and to turn off the system, but I have to power it on by hand.

Now's not really the time but I agree that the documentary was dishonest. I have trouble believing that the filmmakers and record execs didn't know about his Australian fame. But hey, the documentary helped sell more albums and gave Rodriguez a boost in his career.

My experience on the PS3 was that no one ever talked, which was kind of like muting everyone. Sure, you didn't have to click any buttons but there was no community of talkers, in my limited experience at least. (The only online games I played for PS3 were Battlefield 3 and Journey. Uncharted's online offering was weak
