I backed this on Kickstarter just a few months ago. I loved the idea of it, and the fact that one of the stretch goals was to get this game into schools was inspiring. I spent a lot of my youth and very early 20s writing, but my love of it has sort of fallen by the wayside in the last decade or so. I was hoping this…

Yeah, The End Is the Beginning Is the End or whatever it was called was really one of those songs that got lodged into my 15-year-old self's head. I never became a fan of the Pumpkins, but I thought that song was killer at the time.

I was all about the radio and music TV growing up, so I never really thought about buying music when I was really young. Somehow in late elementary I acquired Boyz II Men and Genesis cassettes, but those were copied with a dual-deck from a friend. It wasn't until 1998 when I decided my general fondness for Dave…

Can we please make "Anyway, continue, Steve" a thing?

This toy isn't new. They were being sold in Walgreens years ago. Looks like SOMEBODY'S fallen behind on retail toy shopping!

I didn't comment in the other Best of Games articles, so here's my choice:

I know this is probably a pretty cliched choice, but… Rocket Raccoon. Ever since I heard they were making Guardians of the Galaxy I had been more than a little interested on how Marvel was going to handle a talking raccoon in a live action movie. I thought the results were great. And since Bradley Cooper came in late…

Yuna!

Wow, the guest table is really scratched up. That probably means they never replaced it. I kind of like knowing that.

The fact that nobody heard of this movie until a week or two ago and it's coming out in two months is probably a bad sign, right?

Well, 2h warrior isn't quite horrible or anything. I quite like some of the abilities, but I still prefer the rogue who can run around fast and jump big gaps and backstab like a… efficient rogue would in a game, I guess. I also think I have a thing regarding dual-wielding in Dragon Age games, because a dual-wielding…

I don't think it had anything to do with Aeris, but I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a mod for that. I think it was more along the lines of additional quests though.

So, whenever Dragon Age II came out I was one of the five people that didn't hate it because I played as a dual wielding rogue and I'm pretty sure that's the only truly fun class available in the game. But I DID hate when I had to choose between two characters near the end of the game, and the one you didn't side with…

And it's really worth it. I played up through the Gold Saucer with it modded, and it was pretty nice just to have those mods used in the game (also used a slightly remixed soundtrack which was different but rooted enough in the classic PS1 version to make things heavily nostalgic). There's a mod that adds a bunch of…

Ten bucks if he smirks for the entire duration of The Flash's series run.

Wait a sec. Why is Oscar outside of his trashcan in that picture? Is that a thing now?!

Also, Harold and Kumar. This episode had two different instances of pseudonyms and Erik failed us!

Actually, it pretty much didn't even really make sense then. I remember the big scene when he lost his mask on the train and the little kid says "We won't tell anyone" and everyone around him is nodding in agreement. In my head, I saw this guy show up on screen and exclaim "Except me! Smile!" and take a picture.

I have a few famous but not-really baseball players' autographs: Ralph Kiner, Albert Belle. I once sent a baseball card and letter out to former San Francisco Giants pitcher Shawn Estes after he had a really great year for them, and I was shocked to get the card back and signed. Even though he wasn't really famous, he…

I honestly wish I remember some actual Liquidator quotes from Darkwing Duck to respond properly to this, but I suppose it's enough that I actually remember the Liquidator.
