The hotel of a thousand and one follies, lollies, and lick ‘em lollies!

I joke that the spicy chicken is good because it’s flavored with hate. It makes me feel marginally better.

I got a bit of a Big Trouble in Little China vibe — like she really was the protagonist, even though Valerian was getting all the attention. Though, the movie wasn’t great, and so I can believe it was entirely accidental.

Impressive timing. I just started replaying Skyrim on my old Xbox. My dad build is dumping everything into archery and sneaking because one-shots is all I got time for. And $5 for the Hearthfire add-on so my kiddo can pick out which kids to adopt and decide how to decorate the houses.

There’s a weird vibe of people trying to justify themselves here... maybe the doc will put it into better context. But stuff like this, it’s like, these are not good things, folks:

No no, this is far more meta. Mario just thinks he’s negotiating... or maybe it’s to fool the player.

When I’m talking to my wife about an RPG and she asks, “Yes, but do they use thwacko?” I know I made good choices in my life.

Man, thank you. My exact reaction.

It was just the Duffer brothers doing 2 things: 1) leaving a route to bring Hopper back if they want (assuming they haven’t nailed down season 4's plot yet) and 2) teasing the fans who LOVE to speculate about every last detail.

All right HBO, time to step up.

There’s an argument to be made that some shows don’t hit their stride until later, ST:TNG being a good example, I think. But in that case, an honest friend should say it really takes off around episode N. If you watch episode N, N+1, maybe through N+5, and it’s not grabbing you? That’s fine, maybe it’s just not your…

I’ve always loved Castlevania II. Sure, it had a ton of flaws, mostly from the horrendous translations, but... the mood  was, and remains, phenomenal. I still feel like there’s this huge, mysterious, creepy world and I’m only exploring a little of it.

The audience for those videos are not adults, but young kids. They’re commercials.

I am usually really leery of obvious nostalgia bait, but this legitimately sounds so good.

The question is, how to make a game fun when you’re armed with an essentially unstoppable weapon. Most games nerf the hell out of it, or give mooks gear that can neutralize a lightsaber’s advantages, but neither of those are satisfying at all.

Came to post exactly this. So many phenomenal NES games from that company.

It’s like press release Mad Libs:

Ned’s execution.
