1. Jen has already said she wasn’t talking about CK, and that all she was talking about was a fellow comedian coming on to her in an uncomfortable way.

Seriously, she’s quickly overtaking Jordan Sargent as my most hated blogger of all time.

Calling it now: Gawker 2.0's demise will come from their hard-on for repeating unsubstantiated rumors about CK even after he and the person who inadvertently started the rumors have denied them. Way to go, Katie!

Kotaku needs the clicks. Let’s not pretend they’re not swimming in the same pond as PDP.

I’ve bought most of those games already. Still have the carts displayed on a shelf at home, along with multiple VC copies.

Why build separate machines when one can play both systems (and any other made since Pong)?

I mean, I’m getting the official machines for the nostalgia factor of having copies of the original cases, but a RetroPi is much cheaper than both.

LOL My fucking sides. Does this writer also get a separate but equal office?

This fetishization is insane. Black people are neither the most oppressed people to ever exist nor are they deserving of unique treatment in society. Either we’re working towards increased equality, or we’re calling it a day and…

Spicy should take a nice vacation, get himself together, and be ready for his career-defining role as Holt in the Cleveland movie.

Having just converted my best friend to the wonder that is Aldi, this article came at the perfect time. I went in simply because I wanted to be more frugal in my shopping, and was pleasantly surprised by the quality. It’s now my #1 grocery stop.

Ok, you’ve finally given me a way I can make my peace with the scene. Sansa outfoxing Littlefinger because she knew he’d know where she got her info. That actually works pretty well for me.

Joel Schumacher tried:

Not really. It’s like codpieces or super-defined butts on the Schumacher-era batsuits. They’re highlighting how fit and attractive the performer is. There’s no reason beyond “Evangeline Lilly’s hot and looks great in a skintight suit”.

But again, that’s poor writing: Sure, Sansa and Arya know that Bran knows things he couldn’t have known any other way. But what of the rest of the Northern lords, or the lords of the Vale? Did they get a demonstrations? The killing of a noble, however minor, has uniformly been portrayed as an action with serious…

No perhaps about it. Ultimate authority over deserters falls to the Warden of the North because we are told that it is so from chapter one. That’s all we need. It’s one of the rules the writer establishes early on. As highest authority in the North, he can carry out executions of deserters. Done.  

Spot on. I mean, who among us doesn’t want to be hung, really?

Littlefinger has been portrayed as being way too smart to admit to murder in a room full of hostiles. That is part of what I meant by fanservice: D&D needed him to be an idiot so that they could get their scene neatly tied up, and so all of a sudden Littlefinger goes from the architect of a war to confessing to…

The Watch is a military force, and their members give up several rights when they join. Desertion is punishable by summary execution, as it has often been in our own world during wartime.

“Power resides where men believe it resides”. Abuse it, and you can lose it. The show discarded one of the cornerstones of Westerosi society for the sake of having Sansa and Arya crap out a new meme.

The right to a trial has long been established as one of the rules their system rests on. Even Tyrion got one when he was accused of killing Joffrey. Discarding that in favor of fanservice was a poor move.

I really didn’t like the way LF’s end went. It was pure anticlimax: After successfully masterminding major events all through the war he himself set in motion, he falls because of a relatively minor intrigue in the North. You might say it was poetic, but it didn’t really feel that way to me.

And as satisfying as it…
