Snyder is often guilty of style over substance but holy hell do I love his style. I understand and agree with a great deal of the criticism but I almost get the sense that all of his most rabid critics have really bad eyesight. I mean, did you guys not see the scene in 300 where an adolescent Leonidas fights an…

In the US it's not currently possible to legally collect money from non-accredited investors over the interwebs and provide a share of your company, product, profits, or whatever in exchange. Something that's supposed to be allowed soon-ish:

@avclub-84ca205fe6bc691c41c3bfe5a2820a15:disqus I don't know if this will help at all but … My wife had planned on giving birth the 'ol fashioned way but a day into labour, the OBGYN got frustrated at the lack of progress and performed a c-section. My wife doesn't remember just about any of it. Which is a shame…

@avclub-39dd889e0ab668280dbd73c93917e652:disqus I'm sure an AVC contributor could successfully spin off a separate sibling site sort of like Teti did with Gameological. Though in that case, I think it Gameological was somewhat formed outside AVC and then just stole the AVC's game coverage.

He would be absolutely perfect for a Han Solo type role. Better than perfect actually. Apologies to Harrison Ford, but we're going to excise you from the original trilogy and replace you with Donal Logue.

The cold air whispered?

Hey, I write some of that garbage software!

I wish I'd been the person to be kicked out of a strip club in the following anecdote, but alas it was a friend's dad. Apparently some strip club had an all-you-can-eat pizza night (ew). I guess, being a strip club and not a pizza joint, they didn't have the capability or mentality to have a ton of pizza on hand…

I'm married to some bitch that sometimes doesn't actively hate me *all* the time. So … maybe?

That's not weird.

I have Rocket Riot for XBLA, I can't imagine trying to play it with touch controls. RR has what is quite possibly the smoothest difficulty curve in the history of video games. It's just a straight line from the first level to the last (80 or 90 something).

Aww, I liked scanning for minerals. Though it did make me wonder, you've got a chunk of what's obviously gold sitting in front of you, do you really need to scan it? Not only that but it might be too complicated to analyze what is clearly a massive chunk of gold. Better shoot down one of the smarter guys to scan the…

It's been a few months since I've done much XBL playing, but honestly, I never find it to be that bad. Of course, I've gotten in the habit of muting at the first sign of trouble.

They're not mutually exclusive.

Good point. Video game reviews, in general, are way too damn long. Especially in The New Yorker.

Ugh, "gamer culture".
