"Better drunken morons than you have tried." -Bakken Hood's stock response to anyone who thinks he isn't drunk enough

I laughed at the pyramid thing. You may tar and feather me now.

"Enter my acropolis, and make my yogurt Greek…"

I believe there's something in US wildlife law that keeps wild game out of supermarkets and restaurants in most circumstances, i.e. keeping well-funded companies and their lawyers from controlling bag limits. Witness the passenger pigeon's extinction from lucrative overharvest. I know there are exceptions, but for…

I can't tell. If I point out that using "cis" as a designation for persons retaining their birth gender is taken directly from chemistry, in which "trans" and "cis" refer to the two chiral states a covalent bond can assume, and that "cis unsaturated fat" is the common form of good, cholesterol-reducing unsaturated…

Athena is horrible. Dinklebot is not the worst written/acted character of the year anymore.

My level 50-some Gunzerker, with a stupidly hard-hitting Unkempt Harold in his right hand and a Grog Nozzle (which slags bad guys and converts a portion of all damage dealt into health recovered) in his left, can solo Terramorphous the Invincible without breaking a sweat. Let nobody say that overpowered action skills…

I wouldn't say it's that overpowered. It doesn't do that much to boss enemies, and it's over too quickly to drop more than half a dozen expendable mooks at a time.

Which is extra obnoxious because so many things are locked away until you crack L20, e.g. better loot. Wonder how much the paid DLC's I won't be buying will help with that.

I celebrated the moon landing anniversary in 2009 by firing up Mass Effect, playing the Rogue VI mission on the moon, and playing though it with a Harpoon-series sniper rifle and singing a whaling tune.

I have an online partner playing a Claptrap. "Funzerking" (Claptrap and all teammates get ammo regen and buffs to fire rate…but can't stop shooting) is irritating, funny, and potentially sort of useful all at the same time, which is apparently exactly what they were going for.

"We played games, like Dodge the Blowtorch, and Don't Get Dunked into the Pool of Acid! I was really good at the first one." The best thing about BL2 is that most of the first act consists of Claptrap in pain, and thereafter most of the jokes are either "ahaha Claptrap's in pain" or "ahaha nobody likes Claptrap."

Eh, one of my ongoing beefs with the series is that it beats up on solo players too much, in spite of the attempted scaling. Say, high-ranking Nomads with shields are basically impervious if you don't have a teammate to flank them. Grenades and action skills only go so far against a mob of Nomad Torturers. The same…

Gaah, I wanted my strictly hypothetical trilogy of post-apocalyptic anti-Western games that will almost assuredly never exist for a multitude of reasons to be gamedom's first introduction to that song! *sigh* I guess there's always "Seven Spanish Angels," unless they got that one too.

Given that one of the most popular critiques of the first Mass Effect was that you couldn't have sex with Garrus, I'm confident that the KKK set is a very small shrieking minority.

Hmm. I didn't see any love or hate reviews of Destiny, just a whole lot of "meh." Some were more critical than others of the tedium and blandness, and some were more enthusiastic about the fun parts, but they were pretty unanimously 8/10 or thereabouts.

Animals that need to expel fluids and don't know to/can't do it outdoors will look for absorbent surfaces. My parents' eager-to-please little dog does the same thing.

Well, there was that raccoon on the ISS.

Seeing as how Britain has spent much of maritime history as the world's leading naval power, I wouldn't be surprised if they've had more ship's cats than your average nation.

For the last movie, they told CC to fuck themselves and made it as a movie without worrying about how it broke up as episodes. No coincidence that it had the best flow and pacing of any of the movies.
