Only Nixon could go to Chang-na.

No, that was everyone.

I think that the quality that Killing Joke have been able to maintain over their whole career is just remarkable.

I wonder how much money the original TSR guys would have made if they had started out under our current Trademark laws, and had been more business savy.

I find that uber-complex board games like Arkham Horror serve as methadone for we aging, ghost-eyed tabletop RPG enthusiasts. I miss it so, so very much.

I knew that someone was going to fail his save against pedantry/nerdgasm. I just barely made mine.

It's not like AD&D is really anything more than Chainmail—they're just rulesets. A D&D movie will always suck for the same reason that a movie about backgammon would suck, unless they really find an uber-nerd who wants to make a movie-length adaptation of, say, Scourge of the Slavelords.

Hello dad? I'm in the Black Lodge! I like it here! It's nice!

Ohmigod everybody knows that April wears a yellow jumpsuit hurfspurtdiesofvirginity.

Is it just a thing that our Handsome Men now look like smug shits?

They went too far and pushed him into the Pickaninny Valley.

Musicians often have messy finances because they—if they're lucky enough to have income at all—have lots of sources of income coming in as 1099-type, "remember-to-pay-us-some-taxes" money. They then entrust that either to some totally not-up-to-the-task buddy, or to some shyster who robs them. Hill's specific problem

I don't know. Do they write songs about love, and longing—and hobbits?

"Have Jay-Z killed"

I was just going to drop the non-sequitur in my attempt to stave off work for the rest of the day, but I second-guessed myself and thought that it might look as if I were calling Kanye gay. But who doesn't want to discuss the various merits of game on a Monday afternoon? Jesus Christ I'm bored.

My sister used to work at a restaurant that served exotic game. Bear tastes good, but is a little tough. Wild boar and bison are really good. Anything that comes off a reptile is chewy and gross.

It's dark. And raw… Like bear meat. Who wants to eat some bear meat?

There's a whole stratum of bands like that: Spoon, The National, LCD Soundsystem, and The Walkmen come to mind. All of them are at the very least good, but I've never felt the need to own a second album by any of them.

Don't be stupid. We don't live in a world where Detroit is a free-fire zone, basic government functions are being privatized, and corporations have an accountability-free disregard for human life and dignity. We don't live in that world at all.

I think that was an earlier thing from the early 90s where they remade JD pictures. I remember being excited about that because they came out right after we got cable for the first time. I also remember finding out that cable just means having more things to be disappointed by.
