Oh God, walking away from that girl was so hard!

Man, was Stroud easy to kill. I didn't even pause.

I KNOW! That's the worst part! I could've had what I wanted if I'd just been patient!

The call was stupid. The facts that I hate Pete Carroll and that play cost me $600 in no way colors my opinion here.

It's not your fault. If church were more like a video game, I'd go. I feel the same way about grad school.

For my current play-through, I set up my backstory such that Varric and Hawke were respectful rivals rather than friends. I'm hoping that will spare me Varric's sad-face when I inevitably choose Alistair again.

I spent most of the last half of the game trying to ditch Kenny, but it was never a real option. So when the time came, I was like, "Finally!" Later I found out that the "best" ending for Clem (apparently) comes with saving Kenny. Aaargh!

I hadn't seen it — thanks for the tip!

Oh damnit. LUKE! That didn't involve a real choice, but it's definitely in my top 5 most devastating game moments.

That choice was hard for me, but only in a gameplay sense. I'd romanced Anders, but I knew he had to die for that shit. Unfortunately, he was my only healer at the time. I thought hard about keeping him but ultimately had to stick with what seemed right for the narrative. I barely made it back to the Circle intact…

I thought convincing Clem to shoot Lee was a no-brainer, but my friend was horrified. I thought keeping another zombie from rising and possibly killing/infecting other people — possibly other little girls — was more important than sparing a traumatized little girl one more bit of horror. She disagreed.

Padma speaking Spanish was very endearing. I also thought she ruffled Dougie's hair after his sad showing at the quickfire, but upon rewind, she just lifted her hand regally to gesture Farjeat to the next chef, right when Dougie happened to put his head down sheepishly. That makes more sense, but I wish I hadn't…

I thought Mei was going home until about the 4th time she mentioned how important it was for a woman to make the finale. At that point, Mei not making it through would seem like Bravo rubbing it in our faces that we had a shot at a two-woman finale and ended up with none. That's when I knew she was safe.

I imagine myself fostering or adopting too — not right now, but later, when I'm lonely and regretting my decision not to have kids. But I worry. Okay, I know it's probably not cool to compare kids and pets (my sister always gets irritated when I do that), but I just don't enjoy having other people's pets around all…

Passions was amazing. Like if it were possible to buy the entirety of a soap opera on DVD/BR, I would buy Passions even though that would be like infinite DVD's/BR's. I'm in the camp that firmly believes Passions was a savvy send-up of — and occasional celebration of — soap operas that people mistook for an actual…

Y'all, I don't mean to be a scold. I'm generally very fond of the AVC commenters, and I'm no paragon either, but the bulk of comments below/above boil down to some variant of "Ha ha, he's small," and/or "Ha ha, she's fat." That's not only dickish, but also not very clever. Be better.

I can't say much for the Highlander series in retrospect, but it did give me a lifelong crush on Peter Wingfield, and for that I thank it.

His A Fine and Private Place is a lovely, melancholy little book as well. I have We Never Talk about My Brother, but I haven't read it yet. I'm a little afraid to.

Gail: Can we drink more tequila?

I'm sure somebody else has already posted this, but just in case:
