I had turtle soup once in New Orleans. The server poured sherry into the soup to taste, but I didn’t realize that and didn’t tell him when to stop. It was only when he commented “Hoo-eee, someone wants to get drunk tonight” as he poured did I realize I’d been expected to say when. So my turtle soup wound up tasting…

I got TWO Bastion skins.

Good news! Trump would like to hire you to be head of the investigation after he fires Mueller.

That must be the Demogorgon’s feisty little cousin Scrappy Gorgon, because the Demogorgon in the show was quite a bit taller than the kids.

Janelle Shane is the hero 2017 needs—culling cuteness and weirdness out of total chaos.

73,500 homeless people live in New York City. That is enough people to fill Yankee Stadium. 

“Messaging, at least when talking about on line messaging, should be considered as a written live conversation or a textual phone call.”

Respectfully disagree. The whole point of texting is that it’s asynchronous—you read a text when it’s a good time to, and you respond to it when it’s a good time to. If you have read receipts on and you’re expecting me to read your text right away and answer it right away, and you think I’m telling you to fuck off if…

The proper Comey take is that Comey is a zealous defender of his own reputation as a patriot and a model citizen. This led him to both fuck up the Clinton investigation and throw the election (he gave a press conference dissing Hillary even though she’d been cleared and announced the Weiner letters so that republicans…

Very cool! After the woman spit blood on me, I knew I was going to relive that encounter from the other direction. But I thought that meant that to live, I’d have to give the same answers I’d heard! So I wound up parroting to the next player what the previous player said to me. I guess I have just enough imagination…

Even if it did, why would you want to squint at a 3" screen when the same information will be huge on your monitor?

Oh cool, they’re making it so you can change Ryder’s appearance on the Tempest. I had to give up my first playthrough about three hours in because I had gone overboard with the tattoos and makeup and whatnot and wound up with a clown that could kill with its mind.

Looks like one of the shorts is about Dr. Manhattan assembling himself after his intrinsic field removal incident.

Who were some of the other actors you worked most closely with? Were you involved with the makeup for Aubrey Plaza’s Lenny?

Man, I loved Omni in my youth, for its optimism about the wonders science would reveal. (Much like I would later love Wired for its optimism about the wonders technology would reveal. Yes, I’m often disappointed.) But when I think back to Omni, what really struck me was the fiction:

I have never played a Persona game, but I wanted to chime in to say I am having this exact problem with Mass Effect: Andromeda. Whereas in previous ME games it would be a great internal debate as to who to pursue, and sometimes sadness when things didn’t work out, in ME:A there’s not a single character I’m all in for.…

You get two stars for “Masses Effect,” one from me and one from William F. Buckley Jr.

Where’s the mod that will prevent me from sitting at my computer for a whole freaking night when I have to go to work on the morning? Just last night I was playing, checked my clock, and found it to be 6:15 AM. And rather than go to sleep like a smart person, I spent 90 more minutes at the computer to nab a Science…

Great review. I have already bought this game, and was always going to buy it, but the review both affirmed my fears and gave me hope. The colonization aspect seems like an unfulfilled promise, but the liveliness of the supporting cast makes me excited. As long as the Andromeda Trilogy (if it will be a trilogy) can…
