James Garner: one of the few things I can legitimately feel good about coming out of my state.

My sisters and I were really into South Park when it was new, and my dad rented the DVDs and watched them with us. We weren't too young for the show, but anyone with half a brain knows where this is going: My dad took us to see the movie in theaters. I would almost consider this a story worthy of a mic drop if I…

How do you, specifically, say "I still matter", Billy?

As I said below my wife found one of these this weekend, and there is some strategy involved. On round my wife won with a legendary, the next time I had all 3 evolutions of a certain pokemon and some attack bonus cards. Gary never stood a chance.

My wife found an old copy of the Pokemon Master Trainer board game this weekend that was totally complete. I never got into Pokemon like she did, but I'll be damned if that's not a fun way to waste a few hours.

Dr. Decker, we need to commission a medal to award you for bravery.

'cuz he misspelled onanist?

And the "I can see the actress nude in other work so this doesn't matter" argument zips away with a farting noise like a deflated balloon when you say "And you can find explicit material willingly given anywhere, because the Internet". But these people aren't interested in "just" seeing a gorgeous nude body, this is…

Mrowrrr.

The DOA cheesecake is pretty laughable, but since it's my wife's favorite series I've had to discover the tight, elegant fighting game within. I still get absolutely rolled, but after pulling off a few attack reversals I'm impressed by the mechanics. When she reverses a reversal and smears me all over the pavement…

Diablo II. The one game every damn person has paid for more than once. My keys kept getting compromised, so Battlenet was a nogo. I'd always say "Open Bnet is just as good, I guess…" Cue griefer/trainer army, and a sad dejected trip back to the software store. Nowadays you CAN link your key to your BNet account, so…

I always linked '33' and the Battle of Britain in my mind. I've read Ome really fantastic books of just how damn hammered RAF, and toward the end, Luftwaffe pilots were at the tail of the campaign. We're talking Spitfires and Hurricanes landing, rolling to the fuel trucks as another raid is coming in, topping off and…

As a citizen of the reddest, weirdest state in the Union, allow me to say: Nope.

I'm there with the Gabriel Byrne love, but I think a certain "action" movie with a certain Governator is the answer you seek.

Plus, at the time, and it's shocking how hard it is to put oneself in that headspace just 13 years ago, it was one of the more jaw-dropping elements of the show. BSG has always been one of the few things that can remind me of what 15 year old me was going through. There was no impressive "shock and awe" campaign, the…

Gah, fuck… Threads… I saw The Day After before The Stand (it was awesome being the only kid in the mid-nineties absolutely convinced the world would turn into a nuclear fireball, then being the only high school kid in the 00's convinced it wouldn't) and always thought The Stand was comparatively goofy. After getting…

If I remember right this is the one where Elisa's new partner shoots at one of the Steel Clan mooks and mutters something about "putting 3 slugs into that thing and it didn't even notice."

That song's the primary reason I ever learned to (badly) play
