The issue is that if you’re using video games as your method of storytelling, that makes gameplay a storytelling tool. If you don’t use gameplay well, then you’re selling your story short. “Gone Home” works because you’re solving a mystery (just not the mystery gamers expected to solve); “Firewatch”, I think, fails…

Two things: 1) The marketing. It made it abundantly clear that this was the tone, this was the guy you were going to see, and this was the rating. 2) There’s nothing like it in theaters right now. If you’re in the mood for an action comedy, your other choice was, uh, Kung-Fu Panda.

Yup, like I said, you have to compromise. That said, that’s a two-way street.

Unless you operate a duster with your genitals, everybody can do it.

I can think of a few:

Myself, I saw the joke as Tycho (yet again) needling Gabe’s homophobia and inability to deal with his attraction to men.

There’s a pretty vast difference between the moral conundrums Fallout 4 presents about free will and the nature of life and Maddox making fun of somebody for being self-righteous about their diet.

Don’t forget that a full repeal was ALSO what the DoD wanted, specifically because they dislike soldiers being treated as political footballs. Clinton was doing his job as commander-in-chief.

I don’t think there’s a bubble on the consumer end. Unless people stop buying smartphones, basically they’re arguing between 4 and 5 billion people will spend an average of $1.70 a month on smartphone apps in 2020. That seems within reason.

But would they have gotten paid to do it? Therein lies the problem.

A good measure of a quality morning DJ is whether or not he or she finds that bit funny.

This is a common thing in major markets and it’s 100% a staged skit.

Not putting it on a T-shirt is a disservice to that photo.

Probably how the eggs are served; most people aren’t eating them hard-boiled.

That said, Tom King setting that up by reversing the classic Lucy and the football joke from Peanuts was brilliant.

It’s a brilliant comic, and frankly considering Marvel’s relaunch is largely playing it safe, I’m kinda surprised it hasn’t been axed already.

Now I wanna go drinking with Tori Spelling. We can share a dumpster!

To be fair, Superman’s big introduction was destroying a city while fighting a member of his own race that wanted to commit genocide against humanity. Suspicion is kinda natural, here.

Cruz is the new Santorum.

I like to point out to people that the edgy maverick of the Republican party, when confronted with a government employee actively refusing to do his job and killing an American in the process, said that it must be the fault of cigarette taxes.
