God I am so old.

People always call this one the black sheep, but having played all of these through 13 (skipped the two MMOs so far), I think 8 deserves that title more. It came after an even larger success and did even more strange things to the game. I'm very interested in what you think when it comes up.

My kid’s nearly 2 now, and if I’ve learned anything at this point it’s that you need to do you. Whether it’s comforting them at night or letting them deal with it on their own, what’s actually most important is that you are in a good place every day. Either way, the kid will adjust. So long as you're ready to be a…

“I can't cheat, thereby ruining the game for all the other people who bought it? No deal! I only get my fun by ruining the fun of others!"

Man the link is right there in the article. They're expensive though, $36.

It's this gen's version of Lillipup, presumably.

Nah, Souls games never tell you how those things work, the community figures it out. It might seem stupid from the outside looking in, but it's a big part of what makes the community so diehard.

Counterpoint: anyone who calls a guy out on a HR because of a technicality is the reason people hate umpires.

I think, at this point, if CM Punk says a guy is a piece of work, that guy is probably a really pleasant human being.

It's fantastic, as long as you're comfortable with some truly graphic violence and the occasional sex scene. The manga is excellent, the adaptations... not so much.

God Tier: Apple Cinnamon Cheerios

I’d agree, at least for the early seasons. Season 1 is excellent, and season 2 is a dramatic improvement on trying to drag yourself through book 2. The problem is that most of the parts that are clearly worse than the books were all crammed into season 5, and that’s also the season where HBO had the most freedom to…

My retort to any defender of the Redskins is always "Just change the color to black, white, brown, or yellow and see how that feels coming out of your mouth".

They made a Dreamcast 2, called it the Xbox. Then they made a Dreamcast 3 that was finally released during its time instead of ahead of its time.

My wife had similar issues pre-wedding, we resolved it by having her take my last name and me taking her last name for my middle name. Doesn’t help you with the kids issue, I know, my wife was more concerned with the loss of identity and with not having a cumbersome hyphen in there somewhere. Really, it came down to…

I think, at best, this is a tone-deaf bit of writing. Yes, overall having to pay child support can be extremely difficult and cause you to live a meager life, or feel like you aren't making any money even when you work that UPS job. On the other hand, your responsibility as a parent is to do exactly that. To provide…

That first one... that is definitely someone pretending to be in a rom com, right? Isn’t that the plot of Maid of Honor, but without a trip to Scotland?

The practicality of the device is just right above 0% for me. If you have any kind of child, significant other, phone call that might happen, etc., what's the point? You'll be pulled out of it constantly. It seems like something I'd say is cool, but never buy because I would never, ever be able to use it.

I see this kind of thing as a great way to, say, make supplemental income while you're going through school, or raising a kid, etc. A lot less debasing and much safer than stripping, for instance. All power to anyone who wants to do it, and the same to anyone who's done with it. I'll not condemn anyone for making…

Well I mean... you did?
