And if you buy the maltese falcon, you can dismantle it and get the treasure (nice sidequest) inside. Best DLC I’ve ever purchased.

I feel like this would be a great costume for a guy, in truth.

I’ve seen every one but Martyrs, and probably won’t ever watch it. But the summary was interesting.

I’ve never heard of someone so guilty about quitting a job that they fake suicided, but similar things happen! My (very dumb) aunt once called her job to tell them that her sister (mom) and one-year old baby (me) had died in a car crash in Puerto Rico and she couldn’t come in to work. The shitstorm that ripped through…

Just finished The Fold; pretty good in terms of goofy sci-fi. The main character is a bit much but the writing’s clean and fun. Better than 14 and I enjoyed that one too.

It’s also within spitting distance of the paid-entry and always-packed Spy Museum, which is a much nicer and more interesting place.

6. If a player lands on property they can't afford, auction it off. The game moves much faster.

Nice touch!

Well said, and thank you for using the verb ‘cronenberging’.

I have a book of Lovecraft’s letters; the guy hated the Dutch. That’s some next level racism, even with the tired “product of his time” excuse. But as uncomfortable as it might be, a better understanding of his racist themes (and his troubled life, they go hand in hand) allows for a deeper and better exploration of…

Thidwick The Big Hearted Moose is about how you should murder unpleasant houseguests, which is a lesson for children I can get behind.

Would assume mad King Aerys II in a flashback, just based on his crazy face skills.

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy the ridiculous old west episode. Or every time someone gives Castle shit, forgetting that he literally snipped a wire and saved New York City from getting nuked.

Wasn’t there an episode of Bones that confirmed the existence of ghosts? It was one of those “cute” endings with seriously bizarre implications, like the Castle episode with the time traveler or the alternate dimension (Castle is very strange). It's still dumb though. Maybe it'll be *so* dumb it comes back around and…

And a major plot point was how that kind of behavior ruined someone’s life and made them (and the people around them they loved) miserable and full of regret on their deathbed. But no one mentioned it as maybe an issue? I enjoyed it as a light read, but it had an unusual amount unfulfilled potential.

I was really disappointed in it—I thought it might go somewhere with the danger of mindlessly parroting of pop culture as a stand-in for a real life with real connections, but it seemed to chicken out at the last second.

Oreos need enough filling so that you can stick a fork in it and then submerge it entirely in milk.

What is it about dads not stopping for bathroom breaks? It’s like a condition.

My parents took me and my same-age cousin to Prince Edward Island for a couple weeks to try and save their failing marriage. It was a lovely house overlooking a cliff, and you could clam on the beach. I remember the Anne of Green Gables house being cool, because my mother had made the effort to read us the book aloud…

I remember Horror Express! You’re right, Cushing made it worth the 1 a.m. start time, Lee made it worth sticking with until 3 a.m.
