Holy shit, there were actually some books and games on a list! My sacrifices to the pixel gods paid off!

All I remember happening in the first 100 pages of The Savage Detectives is a guy masturbated to a poem about a vampire. I gave up not long after that. 

I'm guessing cancer.

Britta IS the best, damn it.

Subtle commentary on how their being stuck at Greendale, and all the attendant problems they described, are ultimately caused by themselves?

It was terrifying, and I mean that in the best way possible.

I loved this episode.  I know I'm in the minority here, but Chang being batshit insane almost always works for me.

What's with the sudden influx of British guys with weird-shaped heads and Dickensian names, and why won't they go away?

"The conqueror worm is my penis."

I saw Oklahoma when the local little Christian college (yeah) put it on, and it was a weird experience. Doesn't help that I couldn't stop thinking of Berserk.

The Darkness II was much more interesting in terms of story and character than I expected a game about a black magic mafia don to be. 

Follow with an hour of Chris Pratt falling down and breaking things.

I love that Donna was moved to tears.

That baffled me. I just…why.

I've read DFW but not Franzen - how does he misread him?

Don't forget Judges! Half the stories end with massacres!

All I know about Elizabeth Bear is Hammered was kind of dull and a bunch of psychos on LiveJournal think she's racist. 

"respectively named Balthazar, Gaspar, and Melchior"

I've heard that whenever Phish or the Grateful Dead come to town, the police have to look up the codes for all the old-timey drugs.

This doesn't make me want to date anyone.
