It was an Odysseus and the cyclops type situation. It was the only way Steve was getting out of the interview alive

Ahh, this explains his reaction. Steve thought he was sharing a joke, but the joke was Tommy's life!

"…the quirky smile and the squeaky voice, you think you own the world? I’m sorry, you’re not! "

AVC: You mentioned vision. What is your vision for The Neighbors?

But she's a nice lady.

That line prompted a belly laugh, as did:

The interview was conducted during a particularly rowdy AV Club rager

You content hungry motherfuckers

I don't know if effusive praise for a book your buddy wrote counts as an article, but at least it was a good read! Merry Christmas right back at ya Hanson!

In the Dragon Age game that has been gestating in my head, you start in the Tevinter Imperium and go undercover in enemy lands to take them apart from the inside.

The DA series seems to be bad at bringing back characters and keeping the fun parts of their personality intact. See: Anders from Awakening to DA2.

If you didn't like the setting then I'm not sure I'd recommend picking it up again.

Yeah, I guess I can't DISAGREE with Handlen here, because it is a stupid gag, but it's a fucking glorious one too. It still makes me laugh on demand

You fellas really don't like Birdman, huh? It's not criminal that it wasn't included, I guess, but it's pretty surprising that it got shut out so thoroughly. I really, really enjoyed it, and even C+ C+ Dowd gave it a shout out!

Then ignore her answers? If you don't want to hear extraneous stuff about her world then nothing's making you listen to her. It's not like there were intentional mysteries in the series that she's ruining by oversharing, she's just sharing worldbuilding that she had already done in her head

Ain't that just the way!

Yeah, I just wanted to comment that this was a completely delightful read. I really felt like I was looking at Steven Seagal through El-P's eyes and that was a beautiful experience

That Jesse Moynihan feller sure likes to play the long game

I refuse to believe indifferent Kanye could come up with the brilliantly insane "I put the pussy in a sarcophagus" line
