The actor who played the Joker in the show, Cesar Romero, rather infamously refused to shave his mustache for the role. So makeup just…painted over the thing. It became a rather iconically cheesy element of what is already an iconically cheesy show.

It took me far, far too long to get the joke on this one.

Reminds me of an old Lewis Black on the Daily Show bit where he ranted about the FCC’s byzantine list of ways you couldn’t use obscenity, but delighting in the fact that their list of grammatical clauses wasn’t entirely encompassing.

But if you want someone who can critique sloppy insanity, an ECW hardcore guy is exactly the kind of person you want.

I love how Jack O’Connell goes “May I speak to Ken Griffey, please?” and then as soon as he knows it’s him just casually goes “Hey, Junior.”

Came to this list thinking “Nick goddamn Valentine better be number one.”

I’m a big Joe Biden fan, but even I’ll admit that he was kind of a dick to Ryan throughout the debate.

This is like Hideo Kojima-levels of obscure hilarity, bro. +1

This makes me irrationally happy. Thanks for sharing!

Yeah but did Nathan write that one? I think it might have been Greg Howard. And as much as I like Greg’s writing, I really wanted to see Ronda lose after seeing how smug the prose came off.

Man, I admire Ronda Rousey but was so freaking happy that she lost, because I don’t want the sport to stagnate with just her sitting at the top of the card. Eventually, it gets boring to see only one champ and worthwhile fighter at the top of the card. I wanna see a robust group of all sorts of skilled fighters the…

Yeah, I used “basically” because as seminal as the original Metal Gear was, it wasn’t technically the “first” stealth shooter. There was Castle Wolfenstein for the DOS, and of course Thief like you mentioned. Giving myself a little wiggle room, in case someone more knowledgeable than I came along to add to the…

That is a totally fair point. Who knows what the fuck Konami is planning, because they sure as hell aren't saying.

Totally agree with this, Jason, but to go even further I wouldn’t say that this is “one of” the worst PR disasters in gaming history. I’d argue that it is the worst PR disaster in video game history.

LEGALIZE SLEAZE.

Holy shit she looks just like her.

I’m Catholic and there are plenty of things in our theology that I raise my eyebrow at or throw some side-eye to…but I’ve always liked the concept of Good Works: it’s not just about the fact that you have inner grace and/or were saved. It’s about actually…y’know…doing good things for others!

Haha I was only writing from personal experience in that one. I’m from a very, very white area of the Midwest, so I have not had a chance to experience painful guys to play with that are Asian, etc. So let me amend myself:

Kobe put his mark on the game by being a very, very, very good player who developed a psychotic drive to match Michael Jordan to the point of copying his hairstyle, his play style, stopping just short of Single White Female territory...and in turn ushered in a generation of dipshit white boys who shot badly-aimed…

That’s…what it seems like. Which is just so infomercial and predatory-like.
