Video games?

It was a worthy Gamefly rental for me many years ago. As Orson said, it's better than you'd think such a game would be.

The Ghostbusters firehouse was my favorite all-purpose toy playset. Turtles, GI Joes, everyone did battle on that thing. A lot of good men/robots/interdimensional beings fell victim to the ooze that you could drop through the grate on the roof. I loved that thing so much.

Sounds easy enough!

Embiid is electrifying when he's on the court. I just can't get into college sports.

I just went bowling with my girlfriend and her niece and nephew the weekend before last. I still really enjoy it. I played in a league as a kid and it was so much fun. The available options in my youth club were to play football or bowl in the fall, and bowling was so much less stressful and exhausting.

I've been way more excited to watch the Sixers lately, which is saying A LOT!

I never really noticed that thing with her jeans. It looks like there are statues and figures of her with and without the jeans, from my very brief and lazy research.

Despite having no connection to the franchise, I really loved the Scott Pilgrim game. It nailed that River City Ransom feel and had some incredible artwork (Paul Robertson, right? It's been a while). It's a shame that multiplayer was added many months later, once I was already done with it. That would have extended…

I've only found out about Dan Stevens via Legion, but he is incredibly good on that show. He has a mesmerizing presence in every scene.

1. Overall, politics aside, thumbs up for the year.

I've been playing a lot of Diablo 3 lately. It's easy to jump in and out after work without annoying my girlfriend, as opposed to playing Horizon Zero Dawn for an hour or two straight. I'm trying not to lose too much momentum with Horizon, but I haven't played it much in the last week.

I just had one for lunch.

I certainly know the feeling. This was a tough one.

He looks like he's in Total Recall, with his face about to explode from being on the surface of Mars.

Popcorn kernel spot welded to the back of his throat.

He's a really big fan of Chris Cornell.

And then he and Opie fought and broke up or something.

"Sweat the Small Stuff" is definitely worth checking out.

He had some great bits in there. Finding the perfect greeting card, "phone number rhythm" (ba-ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba!), doing that weird sideways walk when you have a wedgie.
