Heh. I know I like both Lake Bell and Erinn Hayes, just from Children's Hospital, but I can never remember which is which.

TV lawyers, TV lawyerin'.

There's a liberal political community website that I'm a fairly regular participant on, and even there there was infighting and flame wars about Paterno, including one of the most heavily trafficked posts of the month. It's insane the amount of hero worship that goes on in sports and how many people who should know…

Edited to add that I would've bid -1 name on the 'no shoes' category movie and gotten it right.

It depends how good the players are and how well Doug runs it. Iit's best if Doug keeps it tight and moving along (which is why I like the time limit that UCB imposes). If the guests are bad at the game or don't know how to play, it really drags as Doug basically tells them to just say "name it".

Huh. I always read Tig's CBB schtick to be to shoot everything down and question the questionable premises. Which I love, because that's what I would do. I especially love it when she flatly, passively insults the other guests. "Your premise is fundamentally dumb".

Allow me to reasonably disagree with your assessment of Erinn Hayes' Who Charted? appearance. I thought she was just delightful and had a lot of great lines. I don't listen to Who Charted? in order to learn what makes the guests tick. I listen to it for the in depth analysis of the phenomenon of every country star…

@avclub-e1cd61ad7d92a70d5fe4226911cdd76d:disqus It could possibly be either of those. I'll have to acquire them when I get home to check it out.

@avclub-4852640db22c9773ff0c79821326f766:disqus That was the problem. I had no idea that I could move back there until someone showed me. It just looked like painted background. And then you had to move to an exact spot that you couldn't put the cursor directly over. Not fair!

@avclub-1e2184e9a38acddfb65b66905ad70f9a:disqus No. Mine was an Agatha Christie type murder mystery, where you wander around some country estate to try to investigate a murder. I never got very far in it and I've never been able to find it online.

One of the first purchases of pop culture with my own money continues to be my best: A 'best of' LucasArts 6 CD-ROM set. It included The Dig, Full Throttle, 2 Monkey Island games and a bunch of other crap. All for less than $20 at Fry's. Good times.

Holy shit. I was going to post a comment asking if anyone knew this game. It was text-based, I played it on the Commodore 64, there was an in game clock, a mansion that you could explore with an orchard out back, and there were some time based events like intercepting the mail or picking up the newspaper. Is this the…

I think it was both musicians and Bernard who would do it. Bernard was a closet psycho, I'm telling you.

The best Maniac Mansion ending was to explode the hamster in the microwave, then give it to Ed.

Full Throttle SPOILER/PUZZLE SOLUTION.

I was sooooo eager to play this game ever since I got into computer games, which was a few years after it tanked. LucasArts let it go out of print and this was the days before Amazon. I just recently acquired it and can't wait to start. It's also inspired me to go back and finally finish Sam & Max.

I watched each episode only once during its first run, and I'm amazed how much I remember about such a densely plotted show. I may remember more of the 7 year old Carnivale than Game of Thrones. I'm seriously considering investing in the giant time sink that buying the DVDs will be.

I also was most frustrated with transphobic runner. Especially in a show that's spent a lot of time on a sympathetic portrayal of a kid innocently exploring his queerness. And also this episode: a judgment-free view of open marriages and sexual kinks, even when they're played for laughs. i.e. Kristen Bell didn't go…

I think the Justice Lords are too important to skip. No skipping says I! Double the work! Put your backs into it, men!

It's been 60+ years, and I'm still not tired of heroes beating the crap out of Nazis. This is one of my favorite JL episodes, but not just for the Nazi-killing. The story's great, blending several strands of war stories (spy novel, suicide squad mission, underdogs battling it out, etc.) with a comic hero/sci fi…
