This will be great, obviously, but Iannucci already succeeded in making the Dr. Strangelove for the new millennium: In the Loop. Trust me, I wrote what I'm sure is a riveting masterpiece on the two movies in my undergrad.

That show gave me hope that I would find a best friend who understood me the way Jane understands Daria. Some of my favorite episodes are, weirdly enough, when they are fighting because it feels so real to me.

This week I realized that 1997 was the first year of my life that pop culture mattered to me. In the past when the AV Club, or whoever, has done retrospectives on other years in the 90's I find myself scrolling through lists of things I barely remember (or that I discovered years later). But I vividly remember most of

I've always felt disconnected from gaming communities, and so it just felt really nice to read people's thought on games and actually be able to share my thoughts too. It took me way too long to start commenting, and I really regret that.

I watched Shirobako over the weekend after receiving a rejection email from a journal, and it really it the spot. It's a story about women that doesn't involve any romantic interest. It's all about chasing your dreams even if they seem impossible. Also, friendship, which is great. I cried basically every episode, but

It's not a moment necessarily, but this is the only place I've ever felt comfortable talking about video games and I really appreciate that.

But the album version does have a backup singer who belts "puppy dog tails" with so much intense enthusiasm that I laugh every time I hear it. So both are great.

I'm truly baffled when classmates say that he looks scary. Like, come on, look at that adorable face. And those eyelashes!

Absolutely. I have also found that as I've gotten older I'm more sensitive to some stuff (which is saying a lot because I'm already pretty sensitive) and that's made it harder to watch certain shows/movies. I still haven't watched another episode, but I plan to give it a shot and see where I'm at. If the second

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that! That's a fair point, and I remember being annoyed with Morgana at the time for that. But that pretty much sums up my feelings about most of the characters: sometimes I love them, sometimes I'm annoyed with them, and I find myself switching back and forth between those two feelings

As a teacher, I sympathize with her for being an underpaid educator. Also a teacher, I am totally grossed out by the game's sexualization of her and the fact that she seems to absolutely hate students and teaching. So, yeah.

I like him a lot. Even if he does have a gecko tattoo (that's what it is, right?).

I like almost everyone, but obviously my favorite character is me. I am awesome. Have you seen my cool outfit? I'm adorable, and I share my bed with a cat. What is there not to love? In case it isn't clear, I'm being totally serious. Other than myself, I also love pretty much every other character. I can find little

I watched the first episode a couple days ago and was curled up into a ball on the verge of tears for most of it. I do want to keep watching, but I'll definitely need to take a few days off between each episode. That being said, I'm not sure I'll make it to the end of the series.

I bought that too! It was so exciting to have all that extra stuff in the box. My copy of Lunar also came with some swag, but not nearly as much as Lunar 2. I had the pendant hung up in my room for years (not brave enough to wear it to school).

I like all those games, but I'm starting to think I'm weird.

Aw, I actually really liked Machinarium, but I can understand not being into it. I probably liked the style enough to ignore its flaws. Plus, while I suck at solving puzzles, my husband is incredibly good at that stuff, so I could just hand the controller over to him when I grew frustrated.

I want to watch this. But I also don't know if I can handle watching this. The Hulu previews are enough to make my stomach turn. Skimming this review and the comments have been equally difficult, but everyone has made it sound so good. So, um, I'm not adding anything to this conversation really, just thinking out

Oh man, I haven't even read the whole article yet, but I just had to come down here immediately and say how awesome it is to see ActRaiser right at the top! I loved that game so much when I was a kid. A few years ago I had convinced myself that I made the whole game up in my head because I couldn't remember what it

Roy Mustang for sure.
