I just started GoW and the combo mechanics and upgrades are a less intuitive than previous iterations. But the clunky gameplay has left more breathing room for the story, which is intriguing for a character that I kind of hated by the end of GoW III.

I mean, that’s essentially what Facebook did to independent web publishers.

“One of the greatest things I heard someone say about him is, ‘He’s so great at doing impersonations. But the greatest impersonation he does is that of a normal person.’ To me that sums it up.” - Moss

Richard Marx’s twitter has been extra-spicy lately.

Also it’s super hot.

Wow, I need to rethink Strom Thurmond.

Why can’t I poop on your couch, you racist!

Whenever I hear about the Amazon/Allen deal all I can think of is that Difficult People episode where Julie Klausner gets a part in the show as a cigarette girl.

I guess it’s also because of his erratic, violent, and immature outburst, and my experience with angry middle-aged people taking their impotence out on customer service with a flimsy pretext. I’ve been to the ER twice with anaphylactic shock, I carried an Epipen in school, and I don’t have any problem with…

I always use whole peeled because that’s what Hazan recipes call for. They take a while to break down, but the result has a silky texture that makes commercial sauce taste like salty tomato paste.

My sister is a chronic fabulist and announced that she had an onion allergy in her 40s which makes it difficult to suppress my skepticism.

Balk’s First Law: “Everything you hate about the Internet is actually everything you hate about people.” That said, I don’t understand people who are active on social media but don’t curate their feeds, unless they’re just computer illiterate. You can see nothing but sports scores and kittens if that’s what you want.

Texas also, and I generally never see queso with meat outside of restaurants? I got a simple recipe from a coworker: chop and soften a medium onion; then add a smaller bar of Velveeta, a can of Rotel (hot), a can of green chilies (hot), and a pinch of cumin. I really like the ratio of chunky onion to cheese, and it’s…

My only production note is Tyler Labine shower scene.

Her?

Making my way through a backlog of games I picked up on sale. I just finished the Bioshock Triology (which I had played on PS3) including the DLC (which I hadn’t). I spaced them out while playing RDR2 and it really made them feel shallow by comparison, although calmly linear (also the level where you walk around as a…

You’re terrible, Muriel.

I still resent Lars von Trier for Dogme’ing the musical sequences in Dancer in the Dark because 1) those are some of Bjork’s best songs, and 2) he had the technical chops and creativity to pull off something great.

You are killing it in this thread.  Cheers!
