I had to look it up. The answer is no. Frank Zeidler was the last, and he served from 1948-1960. In fact, he is the most recent socialist mayor of any major American city.

I’ve played every day since launch. The longest I ever had to wait for a lobby to fill up was about 40 seconds. Most lobbies take about 10-30 seconds to fill up for me. So yeah, lots of people are still playing.

I think it helps that I heard it was a 3-4 hour game, and it only cost me $4. Expectations are important!

California, a band made up of members of Green Day and Jawbreaker, specifically chose their name to be unGoogleable.

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard may be the best band with the worst name, though Pissed Jeans ranks high up on that list as well.

I 100% agree. I played Gato Roboto the other day. I finished the game in under 4 hours and collected everything but 1 item (oh well). It was so refreshing to play a bite-sized, but still fully fleshed out and satisfying game like that.

Having worked in movie theaters throughout high school and college, I can tell you this: never eat popcorn unless you witnessed it being popped.

Beforeigners on HBO. People from the Stone Age, Viking Age, and 1800s mysteriously show up in modern day Norway. It’s a police buddy drama that partners up a modern cop with a past Viking. It’s good, goofy fun.

I like the endings. When I spend that much time with a saga, I want a coda to match.

The trailer makes this look like the Oscar baitiest indie of the year, which is kind of a bummer for me. I really like Jason Segal, and my wife has said he could play me in a movie (I, too, am a tall, white doof).

Free-to-play has all but killed my favorite genre of games that doesn’t have a name. It encompasses any Tetris-like game as well as Match-3-like games. (Sure, they’re typically called puzzle games, but that puts them under the same umbrella as games like World of Goo or Thomas Was Alone, which strike me as a different…

And then Catherine Zeta-Jones went on to marry Michael Douglas, who is exactly 25 years her senior. 

I remember going to a board game con in the 90s that, for the most part, had clean attendees. But good lord, the wargamers room was fucking rank.

Trebek said he likes Ferrell’s impression of him, but his favorite has always been Eugene Levy.

- I’ve always loved the Bubble Man stage in Mega Man II. When you’re underwater, you can jump the full height of the screen. The best part is the water physics only kick in when you’re sinking, so your jump is full speed. Having a ceiling full of spikes makes it a hilariously tricky stage. Just about everybody dies on…

Symphony of the Night has my favorite double jump if only because, for a frame or two, Alucard’s cape turns into bat wings. It’s such a perfect touch of style.

You just answered your own question. It’s kind of like asking why Skip Bayless keeps getting work.

I love reading FFVII:R reactions from people who’ve never played the original. For instance, in the original Jessie, Biggs, and Wedge are extremely minor characters who disappear after the first three or so hours in the game, but FFVII:R did an amazing job fleshing them out into fantastic characters. 

Having been an FF IV/VI veteran, I played Mythic Quest for about an hour before getting bored. 

When I was in college, Snood was all the rage. I would get people to play Bust-A-Move on PS1 and they’d all say “oh, it’s a Snood rip-off”. Drove me insane.
