This comment deserves way more stars. 

The showrunner of the show made from a video game had high praise for the video game source material? I would say this is painfully obvious as to why this is happening, but then again, Witcher.

Messi is the goat. Ronaldo is a close second, but Messi does things no one else does. Ronaldo is often flashier, being more athletic, but he’s also gifted with a perfect soccer physique and he trains like an animal. Messi was born with a growth deficiency. He’s relatively short for a professional player, but he still…

Very narrow markets. Like puddle jumper planes that go Boston to Nantucket/Martha’s Vineyard type of trip. That’s not enough of an audience for success or to convince those tiny carriers to change their entire support infrastructure for this change. Even “small” commuter planes that go short haul (think BOS-JFK) are…

250 miles is useful, as many popular commuter flights are around that distance. Boston to NYC is about 200 miles and about 45 minutes of flight time. If that were closer to an hour or so given the slower prop plane, it wouldn’t really be much of an issue. The problem is that this plane in the above photo, that is…

Well, when McClane writes “now I have a machine gun, ho-ho-ho” on the dead terrorist wearing a Santa hat, it probably wouldn’t have made much sense if set in July. Same goes for the season’s greetings gift wrapping tape for the hidden gun at the end of the movie.

Kind of strong words. It did receive 4 Razzie nominations: Worst Picture, Worst Screenplay, Worst Director (won), and Worst Supporting Actor (Shyamalan/Won).

Nope. Didn’t take it bad. Just lost, as I think we’re talking about the same thing, except I do have local examples.

I don’t see the distinction. Is that not what I described? 

Here’s one that doesn’t get much attention but has been a slowing growing plague that exploded in 2022: Virtual restaurants. Apps like Grubhub seem to allow any restaurant to submit as many restaurant names and themes as they want. Say your town as a pizza joint called “Joe’s Italian”. Joe’s Italian can then have a…

It has occurred to me after reading this list that I’m not entirely sure what qualifies as an RPG. In my mind, the settlement element of Fallout 4 was an RPG, but the rest of the game wasn’t. If I try to rationalize Elden Ring as an RPG, I can’t seem to check off the same boxes that make that part of Fallout 4 an RPG.…

I took it as it sounded like they wanted to relax and actually have a fun party as opposed to having to play celebrity and have makeup and wardrobe done before attending, then worrying the next day if TMZ got an unflattering angle. And given the age group involved, they have the luxury of not having to constantly…

I could really see that working with Gyllenhall. 

On the flip side of the coin, snow was really mediocre if not terrible in Elden Ring. The game is amazing, but the snow fell flat. No real interactivity. 

It’s at 49 so you’re forced to click through the rest of the list to satiate your contempt for the rest of the ordering. That’s exactly what I did. I’m betting AV Club is banking on our collective righteous indignation for page views. 

The main problem with Digestives getting any real traction in America is that no one really understands what a biscuit is supposed to be in this country. People assume it just means “cookie”, and are put off by the plain Digestives not being as sweet as they expect. But Digestives, like all biscuits, are just…

I’d toss out there that it also probably makes sense to avoid placing the tree next to direct heat sources (vents, baseboard heat, etc).

What am I doing wrong? I’m logged in to Amazon Prime. I follow the link. None of these show up. 

I love Fromsoft, but nothing I’ve seen from them in Elden Ring would suggest PvP polish to balance/pacing. The Colosseums are already a cesspool of copycat meta builds focusing on heavy armor and max reach bleed or frostbite procs. And it’s to the point that the only decision is to make one yourself or always been…
