No mention of the night owl who kept falling asleep?

The part where Nathan took a sly sip of his coke killed me. 

What about Hugh Manatee?

Feels a little empty and past its prime like everything else around here but there’s still great material every week and the political cartoon is as funny as ever. Whatever you do stay away from the Onion TikToks.

I was not aware of this phenomenon up until reading this article and I am taking this as proof that I am on the internet the exact right amount. Nonetheless, good fortune in your future ventures, Mr. Adams! I hold out some hope will come back better than this most recent sea change, but experience tells me different.

Top 5 big-budget games I’m looking forward to in 2022:

And to think, the AV Club had Myles McNutt around for years, just waiting for an iconically Nova Scotian story like this.

I’m a Nova Scotian, and I honestly had no creeps from Woody when I was a child at the shopping mall, but that’s how creeps work I guess! Only adults know they are creepy!

On the other hand, the breakup scene between Vaughan and Cuoco was fantastic, a rare comic scene where Larry wasn’t involved.

Susie sewing the Magen David on the Klan robe provided me with unutterable joy.

I tend to believe people when they say they're not anti-vax, because actual anti-vaxxers are stupidly proud of it. 

No, parody isn’t the right word. There is nothing being directly parodied. It’s a satire. Specifically a satire of the tropes and clichés of the slasher genre. Which makes Scary Movie the parody of a satire, which is a stunningly stupid idea for a movie.

They added dialog with the kid in the extended ending DLC where you can bring that up and he just brushes it off as meaningless.

Mass Effects biggest issue was giving players the illusion of meaningful choices. Consequences to those decisions became expected, and they obviously were too many or too varied for Bioware to be able to tie together at the end. So then you get to the end where literally nothing you choose in the entire trilogy

protecting the ruling council

this is why I like the “bad” ending of continuing the cycle. it has a gravitas the other ending options lacked because of the hackneyed addition of the Space Child. the expanded endings they patched in later helped a LOT to making those options better, but it is still fuck the Space Kid, and shoot the box for me.

My main problem with it still is that the central conflict behind the choice you’re presented with is 1) something that was a sub-plot through most of the series and 2) nonsense given you can end that subplot by reaching peace between the Quarian and Geth, which apparently 80% of people playing Legendary edition

I have played through the original trilogy countless times and just finished the legendary trilogy last month. I did a renegade playthrough once where I intentionally chose all of the “evil”, “authoritarian”, “asshole”, choices. I found it generally difficult to click the button for those options. I knew that it was

It doesn’t shock me that much. For all it’s vaunted statement of player choice theres basically just good descisions and not good descisions. Curing the phage, brokering peace between peoples, protecting the ruling council. There’s nothing to be gained for not doing these things and by doing it you are building to

Dad's gotta convince the Romulans to enter in the war
Committed to a plan, like he was stepping through that door
When the news comes in they lost the battle for Betazed
Abandon the planet like Sarpeidons and A-to-zed
But other times he finds he's unsure of that position
