I asked my hipster cousin what to do that was off the wall and not what the “48 hours in Minneapolis!” articles would tell me. He pointed me at Can Can Wonderland. Underground, handmade, artsy-fartsy mini-golf! With boozy milkshakes! There’s a frog that poops your ball if you hit it in the mouth. Upstairs from there…

I just spent a long weekend in MSP and did 5 of 5 (if you count, you know, travelling through the airport). Get the beef rib at Butcher & Boar.

Hey slow your roll, I don’t want to throw out my shoulder from pumping my fist so hard.

My parents gave us a solid chocolate bunny for Easter.  I was around 8, my brother was 10, give or take.  This being the 80's, my parents went out for dinner or something and left us alone for the night.  So, we decide that it’s a great idea to start carving into the bunny with a little 3" kitchen knife.  Sure enough,…

I’m hoping for the next generation of character meshes to have flexible and inflexible parts.  I hate watching plate mail or solid body armor stretch when the character moves their arms.

Two things - D&D sessions don’t necessarily have to last longer than a couple games of Cataan or one run through Ticket to Ride. I usually play for 3 hours at a time, sometimes less. Secondly, consider inviting your wife along? D&D isn’t a boy’s game any more than computer science is a man’s job (that is to say, it…

The closest I’ve ever come to being ‘owned’ is the several times I’ve been literally speechless that someone could say something so fucking dumb out loud. The other side takes our stunned silence and shocked looks as signs of correctness.

You’re correct, but this all just makes me tired.

At least you can get a hearty adolescent chuckle from the name ‘Kum and Go’. I know I always do.

I’m not sure what your complaint is? The $8.99 is the ticket price for all tickets, not just the first two. So, they charge you about $4 less for a seat and you get cheaper popcorn and if you turn off your phone during the movie you occasionally get a free hotdog.

Paging through the article and the comments and I’m very surprised at the lack of North Coast Scrimshaw. That’s my go-to when I’m needing a break from big, loud flavors.

That’s the smile of a person who hates their teeth. He’s a very insecure weenie of a baby-man, as we all know, this is just one of the more minor details.

It’s all about ethics in gaming journalism, after all.

I got Bananas Foster at Brennans in New Orleans, just to be as touristy as I could. The spectacle of table-side prep would have been better if the whole place wasn’t also getting the same dish, and since it was 9 pm only that dish. We watched the process from six different angles that evening.

My wife insisted that we get a Switch last weekend I think just to shut me up about ‘someday I’ll get one of those’. She’s played PuyoPuyo Tetris more than I’ve done anything so far (Battletech on PC is ruling everything right now), but we discovered that Super Mario Odyssey has a 2-player mode last night! What fun,…

I think that there’s a lot of good stuff in the early Clan invasion, but boy did the power creep hit hard later on. I’ve always loved the simplicity of the 3025 era though. A lot of the upgraded stuff was specifically to remove the hard choices you would have to make about weight, heat, mobility, etc.

I took this to mean that I should definitely forget that bottle of lime juice in the fridge door for weeks/months/”how-long-have-we-had-this-fridge?” Sure, couple hours, riiight.

As a Tall Person I have to say, fuck crowd surfers. Who’s going to get kicked in the back of the head when little-entitled-shithead-you comes rolling to the front? Me. Who is going to be assumed to be the leader of the ‘don’t drop this idiot on his head’ brigade? Me. I was big enough and self-aware enough from the…

Lip injections? Being an old person? He’s just fucking gross?

When I was at Iowa State University a few decades back, there was a lot of talk about a ‘brain drain’. Everyone was going to the top-notch state schools and then leaving for, well, anywhere else. I am one of those brain-drainers, and I kind of regret it. Sure, I probably wouldn’t be as happy and successful as I am…
