This was one of the few games I’ve enjoyed in decades, and if this re-issue helps revive the RTS genre it will be very worth $30.

If children actually liked this drink it would be sold everywhere. Kids just like telling a bartender to make something. Baby’s first power trip.

In the cartoon, the robots were framed like people, and the humans onscreen were tiny. In the movies, the humans are framed normally and they’re talking to a giant robot foot. 

I just realized the character constantly demanding to speak to a manager is named Karen. So the best TV comedy showrunner is stealing from lame reddit memes. What happened here?

I don’t remember the Mueller song but the Davidson thing seems like something generically outrageous without using the “very online” language specific to pointless twitter conflict. SNL has always done that sort of outrageousness, remember Alec Baldwin and Canteen Boy? But “white male rage” seemed like nothing but…

It didn’t make sense other than to provoke a reaction. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bit that was essentially just clickbait before. Sad they feel the need to do that but they’re probably right. They know what works. The viral video era is over, the twitter outrage era has begun. 

“I saw all the Twitter anger over Melissa’s ‘white male rage’ Update piece.” Isn’t that what the piece was for? If it didn’t make people mad I don’t know what else it would be. 

Reducing our very high rate of immigration and and prioritizing our own workers (as opposed to business owners and consumers) in our trade negotiations is in the material interest of ordinary Americans, and the Democratic party has rejected these policies. Ordinary people are getting poorer, even as the country gets…

If your number one problem with Ann Coulter is how ugly she is, you like Ann Coulter.

All other women are prettier than Ann Coulter? You know it’s possible to dislike someone without spouting obvious nonsense. 

I find the legal structure of rock bands fascinating and there doesn’t seem to be much written about it. I guess every band has a different arrangement but I’d love to know more about it. History of the Eagles gets into this a bit, with how the band was re-incorporated as a two person dictatorship. I wish there was a…

Some of the plot points just seemed really thin, like Karen telling Matt and the other passengers (is that all of them?) that their new course is 3 years, and they all immediately accept it as truth.

I get that it’s predetermined, but there’s a reason they try to do it “without it being noticeable,” and the framed photo totally undermines that. I know The Dark Crystal characters are puppets but there’s a reason they hide the strings.

I know talk show conversations are fake, but doesn’t asking the guest an open ended question and then pulling out a framed photo of his response break the suspension of disbelief required to enjoy this sort of thing?

David Cross did a voice in Halo 2 that still cracks me up.

This show must be absolutely extraordinary to justify this site’s constant whining about its cancellation.

The Academy responded to #OscarsSoWhite by inviting a huge number of new members to join, in an effort to increase the membership diversity. So Oscar voters (Academy members) did care. When BAFTA announced their nominees, the chairman of their film committee said it was “infuriating” that all the acting nominees were…

The Oscars are the the American film industry awards. There’s nothing wrong with the academy’s preference for English-language films. It’s not the Olympics of film. 

I also saw it for the first time this weekend, because I wasn’t interested in it enough to see it until it was for rent on demand. I really was not looking forward to alienation porn that quotes other movies, which is what I thought it would be and what it was, BUT I thought it was remarkably well done. The filmmaking…
