Yeah, that sounds exactly like the Kennedy (or Crown, maybe?) that we used to drunkenly refer to as "the mozzarella stick store" at 3 AM. Marcus Garvey and Monroe.

Just got a chance to watch the first two episodes - great job so far, Libby! It's good to have you.

This makes me very sad.

I generally didn't enjoy her handling of Top Chef, but her other stuff seemed fine to me.

Yeah, I see the point. Sounds like what they came up with will please no one. I wonder if the whole thing gets shown. It's summer and only 10 episodes, so probably. Hell, maybe it'll be a hit.

"as it helps American viewers relate to the situation"

It's really too bad when the AV Club assigns recappers to shows who aren't that enthusiastic about the shows. First Sonia Saraiya for Top Chef, and now this.

I know what you're saying, but a good DM can usually blunt the worst excesses of crafty/pedantic/munchkin/min-max players. And that's really what the game is all about - a set of rules that is well-applied by the players. I know it can be hard to find a good group, but once you do, with a good DM besides? That's…

God, what a great game. I've probably put over 200 hours into it, and I was just thinking it might be time for another replay…

So this sounds like it makes character customization too simplistic while making the game too hard. Sounds like a blast.

Sure, VHS to digital is an easy one. Betamax to digital is probably pretty doable, too. But what about U-matic? Various reel-to-reel formats? All of the various Sony digital formats? These are much harder, as are various non-cassette audio formats.

Also, Saving Private Ryan is an even more awful movie.

I would personally pay at least ten dollars to never see a commercial for this movie on Hulu ever again.

Also, Roger might have pulled that $65 million figure out of thin air. He said "Let's say McCann values the company at $65 million," not "McCann values the company at $65 million." Right? Or did I mishear?

They started the series rich, while Don has essentially only become rich once he made partner, right? Pre-partnership Don was essentially part of the salaried professional class, while Bert and Roger were part of the moneyed, capitalist class.

Well, Earth was running its program to find the Ultimate Question to the Ultimate Answer during the 60s, so I guess it counts?

Earth in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy!

Blood vs. Water II? Ugh.

Ugh

I thought for sure we were going to get something about Stonewall (6/29/1969) in here,but no luck. Maybe next week?
