Ha, I used to work at a children’s museum that had a home school day twice a month. It only seemed to attracted the wackos. Tales of home school day went never trust a kid named Aiden ( an Aiden completely smashed one of the exhibits, and of course his mother wasn’t going to pay for any repairs) and when kids start…

The other day I took my kids to this homeschool thing at the local science centre. It somehow attracted the more umm...stereotypical homeschoolers that everybody here hates. That’s not usually how it is at these things.

And now, a haiku:

Right. I think people honestly didn’t realize that there were some “battles” in the Long War you’re supposed to lose and retreat from. Once you realize how to recognize a no-win situation, it’s just one more layer on top of this amazing strategic OH MY GOD I NEED TO PLAY XCOM LONG WAR RIGHT THE FUCK NOW

I played the series from the beginning and I think RE4 is great. It *was* a scary game and its mechanics struck an excellent balance between smooth, fun-to-play action setpieces and a sense of impending doom. The opening sequence in the village is every bit as much a horror sequence as it is an action scene. There is…

“Not likely.”

I cannot wait for this to come back!

GOALS.

If they go for another male actor (crushing my dreams of seeing Tamsin Grieg play the Doctor as an ennui-riddled ex-punk rocker rediscovering that fire of youth through her Companion), my vote for the next Doctor is Richard Aoyade. Smart, funny, adorably dorky, cute as hell, and as a talented writer and film maker he…
