I've never wanted more to be pricked by a rose.

Are you saying he has gigantic testicles?

Rattleshirt + Littlefinger = Joffrey

I never saw any reason not to take Gilly at her word. I had no idea there was any other point of view on that topic.

I loved the Irish looking slaves that appeared here and there.

It is a touching moment, the first time any Lannister pays their debts.

I'd watch an entire episode about Ser Pounce engaged in an epic struggle against Rhaenys's nasty old tomcat that led Arya down to get lost in the Red Keep dungeons (which is the same cat that scratched Joffrey once, I only realized the depth of the King's Landing Kitty Politics upon my 3rd read of the series).

Oh I'm just speaking ridiculously for a variety of reasons (attention seeking, being over-dramatic because its the internet, etc.). Of course I wouldn't literally want them to go away. There's just something about Nintendo that causes me to react in a quasi-trollish manner. Too much negative conditioning from seeing…

I L-O-V-E the fact that your argument against Nintendo coasting on nostalgia is "No they make a few platformers starring Donkey Kong as well."

Bears get a pass.

What has Nintendo done for the platformer since 1996?? Would anyone be buying ANY of their platformers to come out since if Mario's face wasn't pasted on there?

I agree! What Nintendo was good at in days of yore was finding gaps in the existing marketplace of ideas. They took the concept of character enhancements to new places in SMB3, and did amazingly new things with level design in SMW. Current Mario platformers are just continuing attempts to captalize on those earlier…

Well I think there's a fairly big gap between "angry" and criticizing with strong language because its the internet and I'm a mouthy butthole.

"MG: And, for God’s sake, the trainers from Wii Fit are going to be in the next Smash Bros.

Did Bruce ever tell Alfred he had fallen for Selena Kyle? We see no Alfred contact when he returns to Gotham, so Alfred couldn't be dreaming/imagining her.

And your capacity to come up with a straw person argument of what I said is, uh….electrifying. Or maybe its more like the strong nuclear force? I don't know. Something dramatic and overwrought!

I'm sorry, what?? Skyrim is not a translation of the "Zelda" experience. The simulated dungeon crawl RPG goes back to Wizardry released in 1981. Zelda is its own weird incestuous offshoot.

What a weird thing to say.

Just go to Allston on a Saturday night.
