Good to know I wasn’t imagining things... been having a hard time find Caffeine-Free Diet Coke, which is what I water my bourbon down with (don’t need caffeine at night, or extra calories, for that matter)...

re: “adapting to suboptimal item drops”... that’s probably why I’m such a total Item Whore; I’ll be D6ing the shit outa bad items, even if it means running back and forth 20 rooms to get another battery or whatever.

For me it’s *still* TBOI... definitely my anxiety go-to, probably why I have over 2,400 hours in it!! It’s also my casual, non-stressed, quick-play go-to also tho...

Fuck the fuchsia! It’s (almost) Friday!

Color me excited for Aunty Donna’s Big Ol’ House of Fun! 

D’uh!

I first encountered JEH as Chris Peterson’s obnoxious cousin Donald on “Get A Life” (another role he totally nailed), and most recently as The Terror in the first season of Amazon’s “The Tick” in which he was beyond freaking incredible (and surprisingly drum-proficient). I was so disappointed when he wasn’t in S2...

I can not think of Tab without adoringly remembering the “Muffin’ Man” episode of The Sarah Silverman Program in which Brian Posehn feigns Tab-Mania to an extraordinary degree, one of the funniest fucking episodes of anything, ever. TGIFF!!

Who the hell knows? This incredibly ridiculous fake has been floating around for some, but I’ve always been puzzled by the beard addition too. 

Even more superheroic than *this* implausible image?

Navin R. Johnson did NOT die because the new phone book is here... M. Emmet Walsh (shown in 10/19 “My Best Friends Wedding” photo) took a few shots in his general direction, and some oil cans may have died... but Nathan lived on, to invent the OptiGrab™, battle with Ironballs McGinty, and find his special purpose.

Or, narrow your browser window, if you’re on the computer...

I too love The Witch; all that simmering dread, Black Philip and the world’s worst game of peek-a-boo-baby!

Would you eat them in a box? Would you eat them with a fox?

Chopping Mall is one of my favorite “bad’ movies ever, teens trapped in a mall with murder-bots on the prowl, just too much fun... PROS: it’s Totally ‘80's, has a great Dick Miller appearance, it’s currently free on Amazon Prime. CONS: Not a halloween movie (I think it’s Xmas adjacent), there is NO actual chopping…

Yes, Limbo is gorgeously melancholy and occasionally grisly. Damn those brain-worms and murderous “other kids”!

So... this new Spelunky, is it on any particular platform, or system, or can just anyone play it outa thin air?? Is there no way to convey this seemingly relevant information? It’s been a long week, TGIFF. Maybe the Googler can tell me where to play it...

OK, I chuckled at your inclusion of Ellen’s Game of Games amongst the “spooky-sounding stuff”… but, seriously tho, I only accidentally saw part of one episode, and a puzzler they threw at grown-ass adults competing on a national television show for prizes and shit was… “How many sides does a triangle have”?

Now, all I need to do is call back a couple times each day for the next several months...
