The most fun RPG sessions I’ve ever had came playing It Came From The Late, Late, Late Show

Absolutely, I want to do a whole other post on adapting gameplay style to be more collaborative. Maybe some day Lifehacker will give Patrick Allan and me a tabletop RPG subdomain.

and ‘Josie and the Pussycats’ was an AV Club World of Flops Secret Success too, how soon they forget.

• Pretty much any company mention in the dumb-as-a-bag-of-hammers-but-goddamnit-it-makes-me-laugh Kung Pow: Enter the Fist (“Taco Bell, Taco Bell, product placement with Taco Bell...”)

This post read like stereo instructions...

Seems like this was near the end of the era of iconic poster art — as in actual illustrated art, versus some Photoshopped garbage with a generic twenty-four point font.

That Tweed Sneakers cut sounds like some Red Hot Chili Peppers first album funk, not ska- so let’s put on our creepers and parkas, check the mirrors on our Vespas, clear out our palates with a Krakatoa, dial up some English Beat, and just start. the fuck. over.

If you are prone to crying (I stress cry) or something is happening in your personal life where you know you might be upset and cry at work, consider packing yourself an emergency kit with eye drops, powder or foundation, mascara, and maybe a candy bar to cheer yourself up. So at least you can recover gracefully.

I’ve been doing all of these tweeks for a long time now. I really have a love/hate relationship with Facebook. I’ve never used it with my real name, more because I have a stalker than any other reason, but also because I have a handful of friends I keep in contact with that way and I don’t have tons of others trying…

“...and I was!” is one of my favorite lines in movie history.

Viggo Mortensen’s performance remains my absolute favorite portrayal of Satan on film. Unexpected, enthralling and utterly creepifying.

Wow, The Prophecy didn’t make the list?

I like that the character’s name is also a throwback to P.B.S. Pinchback, the first black governor of a state (Louisiana) who himself could probably float through segments of society at the time. Putting this comic on my reading list.

I actually disagree, I think if you’re taking a class called Cultural Freedoms: Hate Speech, Blasphemy and Pornography, you should probably expect that you’re going to be exposed to things that you may find offensive and, as the name of the class suggests, examine those things. I don’t think the students did anything…

It depends. A lot of them are explicitly about armageddon or catastrophic events. Thanks to Wikipedia, I have a list of such songs, which I then select ones that sound good/flow well, usually the same genre. My most recent one, for example, is ska-themed. I also did a hip-hop one, and an alternative one.
