Damn!!! This is both exciting and making me nervous. I want to super jump again and see the villains towns because they were awesome. This MMO was truly something else with interesting itemization, crazy customization for its era, freaking fun powers to use (you could rag doll entire groups of enemies who would get…

I have a feeling Ant-Man will provide the necessary expository dialogue.

I think people’s vision for the game might be a little narrow. The Vikings roamed all over northern and western Europe, I could easily see good chunks of the game taking place in British, French, or Flemish cities that are more typical of the AC franchise. The fjords of the Scandinavia region will no doubt be an…

I think it’s fine Elizabeth Gilbert is dating this guy, people react to grief and move through it in different ways and it brings people together in different ways that maybe others wouldn’t understand. I will not forgive her for writing Eat, Pray, Love though.

Oh man, Greg! He wasn’t my roommate but showed up periodically for our infrequent D&D nights. He collected a bunch of parking tickets and complained about them to us, and we said to just pay the tickets, it’ll be fine.

I think they win in Civilization 6.

I have happily been turned around on my opinion of Sea of Thieves the last couple months. I bought it at launch, thought the sailing, etc. was all absolutely incredible, did a bunch of voyages....and realized there was literally nothing to do. I was pretty annoyed about spending $60 on it.

How fun is this game if 1) you just want to pick it up and play sometimes (with minimal time investment) and 2) you don’t want to be particularly social while you play (playing with others is fine, but too much coordination with other plays being required isn’t ideal)?

Totally! You’d think a vampire would like someone who has their life more or less in order, so someone who has a career, even if only the start of one.

I’m no fan of Beto, but their piece on him that claimed he Wasn’t Really Punk was a thinly veiled temper tantrum about the fact that he raised more money than Bernie.

The types who shit on The Root but claim that Bernie marching with MLK proves he can win black voters?

The three kinds of white Root commenters.

That’s good advice about taking your pants into your socks. My friend was walking around Chinatown in SF years ago and a mouse run up his pants, so he had to pull his pants down in the middle of the street to get it out.  What an iconic scene!

Yeah but did that diet coke keep you awake for an extra couple of hours a day for all those years to spend with your loved one?  

It is kind of difficult watching that music video now. Not just because Jackson was as predatory in real life as he was in the video, but because the director murdered three people and gave us Max Landis.

Poor and an addict, not really white in their eyes.

Not only is it creepy, it never made much sense to me. I’m only 30 and I cannot see myself ever dating a teenager - I’d be bored out of my mind and couldn’t deal with the immaturity. So why the hell would someone who has over 200 more years of life experience than me want to date a teenager? 

I think they are jumping the gun a little by making Spike a little too much like Angel this early on.

I’ve really been enjoying this so far. I was a huge fan of the series. I really like the new approach to the characters. I’m wondering if/how they’ll approach the Angel thing though. At a certain point you have to admit the 240 year old guy dating a 16 year old is kinda creepy.
