I think Eugene benefited a lot there from Abraham's (and to a lesser extent, Rosita's) unquestioning certainty. Everyone looked at this group, saw a couple of hardcase military-types escorting a fairly incompetent guy and were like "well, if THESE two are convinced, and they've been with him a long time, then why not?"

According to the South Park Wiki, you are correct- his last appearance was in "Hell On Earth 2006," 8 years ago. Glad to see you again, Satan!

Timothy Bottoms played George W. Bush in both "DC 9/11: A Time of Crisis" and "That's My Bush!"

Well, yeah, but even Sarah Silverman's suggestion of grilled peanut butter and jelly- very basic but I can't believe the idea never occurred to me before.

If the 11 Questions feature has taught me anything, it's that celebrities are freaking AWESOME at thinking of sandwiches.

REVILO!!!

I've watched the song scene a few times now, and every single time I get a little misty-eyed when they get to the lines:

Actually, after rewatching this on South Park Studios, it appears to be a "Cyborg Jill" comic, which is a whole separate layer of joke; "Cyborg Bill" got occasional reference as a toy the kids play with.

I think it's worse because one choice is so much harder to make, and it would be so easy to justify choosing the other way. The fact that the game forces YOU, the player, to make that decision (as well as the other tough ones throughout the game experience) seems to make it weigh more heavily on your head.

Futurama is really the only cartoon tv series that can consistently provoke an emotional response from me other than laughter. You can get the sense when they're trying to go to that well too often, particularly with Fry and his parents on the Comedy Central seasons, but all told they manage it really well. For me…

I actually got surprisingly damp-eyed at the Mole's pointless death scene too, though it may have just been Trey and Matt's ability to tap into the far deeper Les Miserables reservoir for emotion. Those guys can sure do a musical.
"Though I die, La Resistance, lives… on…"

I'm an Andy rather than an Andrew, and as a kid I got "Andy Griffith" a lot from old people. Which certainly isn't the worst; my younger brother got the brunt of that when we were together because of his striking resemblance to a young Ron Howard. "Andy and Opie!"

I'm playing a wizard, so I'm always on the lookout for clear winners in attack spells- and it's very clear that there are some choices that are just flat-out BETTER than others, particularly once you have access to greater-than-level-one spells. Otherwise the only one that jumped out at me was the ludicrously unlikely…

Eberron's still my favorite published D&D setting, by a mile. Even the 4E nonsense (anybody can have any dragonmark!) didn't spoil it for me.

Just out of curiosity, how many folks here have given 13th Age a spin? I feel like it really did a good job of taking what was good about 4th Edition (at-will/encounter/daily powers, greater variety of options for fighters), chucking what was cumbersome about it (hardcore reliance on a battle grid- you're either…

Well put. I didn't really care much for 4th Edition, for reasons that a thousand people have already illuminated, but it was never bad enough to get in the way of what I liked about gaming- if our DM desperately wanted to run a 4E game, whatever, I'm still along for the ride.
We were playtesters for 5e/Next and so it…

They may remember that red is tens and blue is ones, but the percentile die keeps 'em honest, when the temptation strikes for a 17 to be a 71.

This seems like a reasonable assessment of the situation- if he's frustrated by his lack of a love life (whatever that means to him) then I guess the question is what he's doing to pursue a love life. The spectrum analogy is a good one because we're already willing to recognize a broader range of attraction when it…

I just hit the 4096 tile in 2048 last night, and I'm trying to decide whether to be proud or ashamed.

I went to see him at the Palace Theater in Albany, must have been shortly after the release of Poodle Hat. Just sort of riffing between songs he asked the audience, "Is there anyone here from… ALBUQUERQUE?"
Audience: *starts to cheer and WOO*
Al: "Then this song is especially for you…"
*plays "A Complicated Song"*
