Yeah, it seems something like this happens every year. Last year was Beyonce's s/t (and Burial's Rival Dealer), the year before was Burial's Truant / Rough Sleeper, before that it was The Weeknd's Echoes of Silence. Maybe we should stop jumping the gun on these lists.

One of my favourite aspects of the game that people don't talk about as much is the kids around the camp. Sometimes it's just simply entertaining to go around camp and just check out what the kids are talking about (Mikhail and Vernon were always hilarious), but a lot of them are surprisingly well drawn. Quentin and…

It seemed weirdly prescient, too.

Glad to see someone else with the same thoughts as me; it's not that there's anything out-and-out bad about any of it, it's just that it seems so boring and unoriginal compared to the show's musings on AI and a surveillance society. And even when it wasn't like that, it at least managed to draw more entertaining…

It leaked a month or two ago.

I have a week and a half off between school terms now, so I'm savouring every gaming moment I have right now. Starting playing Shadow of the Colossus (yeah, yeah, I need to catch up on my video game classics, I know), which I like a lot. Still waiting for some big moment that sits this on the "masterpiece" mantle like…

Normally I might agree, and when you compare what happened with Nintendo between Melee and Brawl vs. Brawl and Smash 4, it's kind of sad looking. But Wii Fit is an important part of Nintendo's history now, and I think it's important for Smash Bros. to look for fighters that a) show and celebrate where Nintendo has…

I've only really taken a good look at it recently - the sheer ubiquity of the band for a while there turned me off for a while. (Plus, Billie Joe Armstrong has an easily hateable voice.) But shit, this is a really good album.

Yeesh, he wrote a negative review of an acclaimed TV show, not murder a slew of young children. Dude's a good writer.

So, how is this show doing in the ratings, roughly? I know its chances of renewal last year were iffy - is that the same deal this year?

Eh, I guess. I didn't really walk in with any expectations, should they be good or bad, so I guess it wasn't as disappointing to me. I had no idea what to expect from it - just as I have no idea what to expect from this season.

I forgot about the total anarchy of the Community comment section.

B, B+. The first one was, as Todd said, a necessary evil that tried to push things into the new season as best it good. Second one was good but I need another straight-up classic to get me really back into the show.

I feel bad for season 4. People shit on it like it was the worst season of a thing to happen. It wasn't that bad, you guys. It wasn't good, it wasn't the first three seasons, but it was a couple of halfways decent showrunners trying to find their way into one of the (if not the) most unique shows on network…

Everyone talking about nu-Disqus is strange and scary because it hasn't hit my computer yet.

Late to the party but don't care because I like lists:

That Ron plot seemed extreme and out of nowhere, even for Ron Swanson.

In the past three months, I have watched the first seven seasons of Dexter and am about to start watching the eighth.

Leonard Pierce jokes got old in 2015.

The good news is that there's a pretty solid chance that Sons will be decidedly not important viewing.
