Most of his recipes are pretty straightforward. Which one did you manage to fuck up so bad that you can't bring yourself to trust again?

And it takes care of my issue with accidentally hitting the start button while reading comics in portrait mode.

Agreed, but the extra inches might help there. I'm not surprised its a money pit for Microsoft, but as a niche device for art making its still the best around. I'm still happy with my gen 1 Surface, poor battery life and all.

Dig the aesthetic but do people really enjoy using tiny desk spaces like this? I need big wide areas for cups and sketchbooks and elbows.

Because the niches the behemoths filled are now occupied by species who replace the size advantage with other advantages, namely brain size, stealth, pack hunting. There are no T-Rex size mammal predators because lions, wolves and humans found success in numbers and strategy before ever needing volvo-sized mouths full…

To be fair, his accent in the original films was... not great...

I'll make one exception to the no origins rule and that's if it's a period piece set in the 1930's or 40's as when the characters were originally conceived. I'll always believe that Batman and Superman work best as the result of world traumatized by world war and economic depression.

Hopefully it means I can use something other than Comixology's dismally buggy Windows 8 application.

That's a fair point. And if they got a really good writer with a really good idea, I'd prefer they make completely original films as well. But I think the cost margins are so tight for their production that they feel they need the hype that's generated from a title that's already known and loved.

The animated DC-verse still follows his lead quite nicely. I'm rarely disappointed with any of their outings. We'll see how that holds up now that they're making movies in the New 52 continuity.

Is heteroflexible no longer a thing? Because I've been under the assumption it was still a thing.

If you really don't think Fame Monster and Born This Way are legitimately good pop albums, pop music maybe just isn't your thing.

I think you're missing the difference between subtle themes that resonate with a modern audience and that audience actually being aware of those themes on this level. CSI is massively popular, but it hasn't named and embedded new mythological concepts in our shared vernacular like "The Wall" or "White Walkers" or…

This is everything good in the world.

I really didn't find the second one to be worse or better.

I like to think that this wasn't simply a choice made by the filmmakers to up the visual interest of using a computer, but a nice, subtle character development moment. Because OF COURSE John "Spare No Expense" Hammond would never settle for anything less than the flashiest, most futuristic looking computer interfaces…

I think the communal ownership of the the team is fascinating. I don't think I've typed a single line of input into the main chat, but I still catch myself thinking in terms of "our venomoth" and such. I love how it sort of accidentally subverts our concept of "massively multiplayer online game."

Are you telling me that Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, and Commander Keen all take place in the same universe and all feature members of the same family line? Because that's insane and I love it.

But the depth and personality is precisely WHY this sort of porn parody is popular. Porn movies are famous for their bad plots. But they're bad because they're simply setting up a bare minimum context. The idea is that audience needs to know why this man is cumming on this girls face. They don't, of course, if porn is…
