Brosnan-Bond didn’t really seem traumatized by much of anything (even Trevalyan’s betrayal) until Die Another Day, and even then only by what happened in that movie’s intro. And Craig’s Bond was actually a full-on reboot that isn’t even in the same elastic timeline as Connery through Brosnan.
But other than that you… Read more

Venture Bros. minus the clones?

The closest I’ve seen to not being hypocritical is Buddhism as a philosophy instead of as an actual religion.

Twitch is your friend, then. For Dead Cells, I personally like watching VeeDotMe and KingDKC, though there are tons of 5BC players there.

I doubt Mondelēz would let him do any public function within a mile of one of their facilities.

Thank you. Read more

Also Kinja should have been programmed well enough to be able to prevent double posting, but I don’t think G/O’s programmers are paid enough for competence like that,* nor were they back when it was Gawker Media or GMG. Read more

A popular theory for why the character has the potential to look so different from movie to movie is that “James Bond,” like 007 itself, is a codename, utilized by various agents throughout history.... Read more

Well... it works so long as you forget that James Bond is a literary character first. Same for the “codename” theory, except that accepting that also basically means forcing through the idea that “Peter Parker” and “Bruce Wayne” are codenames too.

Funny, how the game in the picture for Stephen’s segment is only 10 years old.* Read more

I dunno, but maybe one that isn’t full of hypocrisy all the way down to the book they call holy?

Thank you. This is a huge part of why emigration from Europe happened in the 15th through 18th centuries, except many of the emigrants ended up fucking things even worse (see the Puritans, especially Salem, Massachusetts) when they got here. It’s also 100% of the reason behind the religion element of the First… Read more

As a 90s kid, Clayface garners at least a little sympathy from me. SHS not so much.

Ted Cruz, Mitch McConnell, Lindsay Graham, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Tim Allen (thank the gods he hasn’t run for anything yet)...

How about someone from California? Read more

Hmm... I was gonna say Ashley Madison, but I’m not sure that one advertised as conservative. Just explicitly for cheating on spouses. (“I mean, sure, close enough,” being the joke, but cheating happens no matter the political perspective.)

From what I remember of Mass Effect 2, Jack read as so pansexual that Captain Jack Harkness looks straight in comparison.

So long as everyone involved is a happy and consenting adult, I don’t see why anyone cares who does what with who. Read more

I assume Abstergo would frown on that sort of thing and keep it out of any commercial Animus applications, so only Layla will ever know.

That would happen first in a visual novel. Probably one made in Ren’Py (Katawa Shoujo, Doki Doki Literature Club, most visual novels made in the West or in Russia) rather than NScripter/ONScripter (Fate/stay night, When They Cry, almost every Japanese VN in the last 20 years). Hopefully when the RNG is called, the… Read more
