Chiming in a bit late but I would read regular coverage of this.

The potential for a Stan as a neo-Nazi twist gets brought up a lot but I really hope they don't go that route.

I don't think this will end up being the case but I've nevertheless wondered whether Claudia actually served in Stalingrad.

What has been seen cannot be unseen. 

Along with continuing Hadrian and the Triumph of Rome, I've also begun my other light Christmas gift reading, that being Sheila Fitzpatrick's Everyday Stalinism: Ordinary Life in Extraordinary Times.

Now that you mention it, I guess we've truly come full circle haven't we.

Alas, that seems to describe it precisely. Almost all of the game's big moments and boss-fights seem to contain QTEs in abundance.

I'd go with Far Cry myself. The new Tomb Raider is looking like a moderately embarrassing Uncharted clone.

"Can you assure me, Ragnar, that these items were not acquired through ill-means?"
"No"

I'll periodically skim over Gawker if I've burnt out my other internet options, but it's a last resort for aimless browsing. The more off-kilter, 'weird world' kind of stories can be sporadically and briefly entertaining.

They sure are with this one, amirite?

Aw, Goatsey. 

I think Vronsky's suicide attempt makes more sense viewed within the cultural norms of the times and military world he inhabits.

Although I'm too lazy to make a full appraisal right now, I will say that I was surprised how much I enjoyed this episode. It felt closer to old Community to me on a tonal level.

Far as I know, any evidence of 'mandingo' style fighting is very scant and overwhelmingly apocryphal in nature.

I particularly like that a 'real man' should only 'own up' for his mistakes if someone has already noticed them; bucking responsibility for failure anonymously is how real men roll.

@Scrawler2:disqus To be fair, that's only because its subscribers are illiterate.

Between the author's fawning tone and LeBeef's actions and attitude, that Details article easily stands among the most douchey things I have ever had the displeasure of reading.

Lubjanka magical place for socialist vacation.

At present nothing, but I'll likely donate some funds to the PC space simulation/combat game Star Citizen at some stage.
