I loved Rollergames so much. That figure 8 track with the potential for extra points really grabbed me over the '80s roller derby I used to watch on ESPN on summer mornings.

I'm no Hardwick fan, but it's worth pointing out that this isn't The Nerdist's first crack at film distribution. They distributed a great little painful comedy called Zero Charisma a few years back. It was about a completely unlikable dungeon master with nothing else in his life who loses control of his group when he…

Because the rest of the lineups had already been announced a few weeks ago.

System was weird and great until Deron Malakian decided that he should sing in addition to playing guitar and writing the songs. Probably wouldn't have been such a bad idea if they didn't already have a great singer.

I wouldn't put it quite that high, but it's definitely in the same league as Green and Maladroit, which in retrospect are both very good albums. It's definitely better than anything they've done since Make Believe onward.

Yeah, I'm just bored that we're getting our 3rd Peter Parker in 15 years. I was really hoping for Miles Morales to differentiate this version of Spidey from the Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield versions. Oh well.

So boring.

Camping inside Hall H for the day may have started in '06, but overnight camping outside the convention center waiting for Hall H the next day was essentially the realm of a few dozen die-hards until the Twi-Hards made it a regular thing by lining up by the hundreds.

I'm so sick of the guy who owns Mile High Comics complaining about how Comic-Con is so much of a hassle for him and how he only breaks even in a good year now. He needs to just stop coming.

Disney has had Marvel skip Comic-Con the past couple of times they had a D23 as well, this isn't a surprise to anybody who follows this kind of stuff. Sony and Paramount have also skipped years in the past.

I don't remember a poor reception for Avatar that year. Hell, we sat through the panel for the second Twilight movie to have a spot for it, and Cameron showed up with 20 minutes from the movie. It was not a disappointment, regardless of the quality of the movie itself 6 months later.

But it's been like that since Twilight first showed up. Strategizing your schedule is a huge part of Comic-Con.

I did Comic-Con for nearly a decade just as it was getting huge, and the only time I had a problem with odors was those rare times when I went into the exhibit hall on Friday or Saturday. Most of the time in panels it is never an issue. Unless you end up next to a specifically stinky person.

Man, They Might Be Giants have lived in Williamsburg since before the 90's and I bet they're really hoping they don't turn out to be the "Surprise Guest" at 90sFest.

No, AV Club, I will not watch this. Not again.

Is Hell on Wheels over yet? Because in my mind Shadow is already being played by Anson Mount. Maybe my mind is weird, I dunno.

Yeah. As a for instance, apparently American Sign Language maps relatively closely to French Sign Language, but it utterly foreign to standard British Sign Language.

There is no written form of ASL. My wife is an interpreter and she occasionally had classes while getting her degree where the assignments were difficult to parse because the teacher was deaf and had a hard time expressing themselves in written English. The grammar and syntax of ASL is indeed completely different, so…

Your description of the fans reminds me of going to see NIN at Detroit's outdoor amphitheater in September '94 and seeing a woman complaining to her boyfriend in the parking lot because security wouldn't let her bring her whip into the concert.

It's amazing that the technology you are using to type that comment is three decades more advanced than the technology you used to launch those nukes.
