Haha ok! Thanks for not taking the joke, we'll return it to the manufacturer. I'm sorry we can't provide a refund at this time. Have a great day!

This was the first game where the main character's "acting" really surprised me, actually. There are two parts I remember specifically, one at the beginning and one at the end- in the beginning, after John is recovering from being shot, he will occasionally squirm uncomfortably and press his hand against the bullet…

You're right, I think we get varying dates regarding the clocks. One was 800 years old, another was like 94,000 years old. But I agree re: Mappo- his just total breakdown as Icarium draws nearer to the truth is so damn sad.

This is one of the reasons I'm excited for Vin Diesel as Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy, actually. His best work has always been voiceover!

The *title* didn't say that, no, but the opening paragraph did-

Everyone is already hitting the big ones, so I'll go with one from my current obsession, the Malazan Books of the Fallen (spoilers ahoy!)

Ah, you sly bastard! I was just coming to post Elric!

Woof, I don't think I'd qualify Grave of the Fireflies as an animated movie specifically for children. That would be like seeing a kid enjoying a Donald Duck comic book and giving him a copy of Maus to read.

Slightly mitigated by the fact that eventually Fry DOES come back to him thanks to time travel.

But I have to desperately remind myself of that from behind tear-rimmed eyes every time it comes on, so.

Regarding All Dogs Go To Heaven; I watched Smokey and the Bandit 2 on TV last night and frankly it would be a good thing for Burt Reynolds and Dom DeLuise to leave this poor girl alone. They'd be TERRIBLE influences. She'd be drinking 36 Budweisers a day and and speaking in an offensive Italian accent by the time she…

When I was very young, I used to think that we could prevent snow/ice conditions on roads by simply ("simply"- I was about 7, so I had no idea there was nothing simple about this) running giant pipes filled with hot water directly beneath the pavement of every street. Several times I almost brought it up, convinced I…

Yeeesh man, that's rough.

Picard and Bev were the only ones to pull it off IMO, and Bev had the big blue trenchcoat as a crutch. I think Picard worked mostly because Sir Patrick looked GREAT in red- there's an episode where he's in a blue Science uniform for some reason I forget off the top of my head, and he looks just as sad and schlumpy as…

Oh, I know, I'm kidding. I'm certainly not exactly a sculpted GI Joe man over here or anything either. Though, in my defense, I did hear Jonathan Frakes on a podcast recently joking about how one of the reasons he hated the Starfleet uniform was that they showed off how he got fat in season 3. He seemed to have a good…

There's a grand tradition of thin/fat sci-fi hot guys on TV- TNG had Riker, Fringe had Peter, BSG had Lee (Fat Lee, in hindsight, is maybe my favorite part of the show)

POINT 5: CONSIDER ADDING MORE JOSHUA JACKSON. FEEL FREE TO HAVE HIM TAKE HIS SHIRT OFF, IF AT ALL POSSIBLE

Sweet Elysium cosplay, though.

I'm as big a fan of Patrick Warburton as anyone, but the character designs from the trailer, and his character design in particular, just aggravate me beyond words. I can't even articulate why, exactly, but it's almost a subconscious, Uncanny Valley kind of thing. I just want to throw the remote at the tv every time…

And further, just looking over the wikipedia to refresh my memory, it's pretty clear that despite Rob's claims, the stories actually WERE tied together with one another. JEEZE ROB, COME ON

You had ME at "groin punch Vulcan Death Grip".
