It's because of the longevity of the show that I think the worst character in the Simpsons is frequently Homer. Sometimes the plot is only propelled not by density but incredible stupidity and greed—something that was poked for fun on the Frank Grimes episode but I say frequently was just generally bad.

Just his hat.

It has the coconut IV. That's the only part I remember.

The map of routes is more varied basically, and so allows for more varied play. I don't know if they're designed to be historically accurate—though since they're dated I imagine they are to some degree—so it might not be the case that they can just change it up.

I have a feeling you may have heard this, so I don't know if you'll buy it more, but the double space is thing is a holdover from how many of us were taught to type on typewriters, which used monotype (every character is takes up the same width, the letter "i" and the letter "w"), which is always kind of airy and…

This is not an unfamiliar thought to me. This is a bit bigger than the issue of signaling agreement with semaphore or something about aligned social principles, I've tried to ask away, because at least relationship wise, the topics don't always matter, it's just an excuse to signal I care about what's going on in your…

Ah, sunk costs and inertia, the real reasons why franchises exist.

I found myself explaining kerning to a younger coworker recently, and she told me, "yeah, I know what kerning is." and I swear that I've spent years having to explain it and thought, "oh crap, was coming across as patronizing?" Maybe people have been too polite to tell me? Of course, given my temperament and thought…

If I recall Garrus turns more paragony under the influence of a steady Shep. Though funnily enough, some of my paragon moves where by accident. Wrex! I don't disapprove of you shooting the bad guy, I disapprove of you shooting the bad guy before I got to question him! Duh.

Oh goody—I'm just at the part of Yakuza 0 where they tell me: "Say, have you saved yet? Time to save. It's nearly done!" Which means I'm due for a break, but ready soon for another game.

I didn't have it when I visited Taiwan, but I've had it in the US. I'm sure it's an inferior version, but the upside wasn't enough for me—as I've gotten older it's gotten more palatable and actually kinda good.

You can tell he asked if he was bad for America expecting some kind of soft criticism or at worst an entertainer's "Yes!"—but what he got was everyone's kindest h.s. history teacher shame face. Most current talking heads—liberals included—would've had an eye to the camera out of habit alone, and the audience out…

I thought just that line was okay…though he doesn't sound convincing in any part of it. Yeah, there's this little pause when he draws in his breath, like he's preparing to pose.

He did that Copland movie where he was praised and everyone was Meh, which I still kind of think had it been more of a success could've led him to a second act as a character actor instead of tired action star. I loved Creed, and I'm glad he's here to enjoy it, but it was bittersweet to read him in an interview…

I actually think it's turning in American stuff now, superhero stuff in particular. I think we hit the nadir with Nolan Batmans, but increasingly the looser projects are getting more enthusiasm (Deadpool, Spider-Man's cameo, Guardians of the Galaxy). The DC movies since the Nolan trilogy are failures both of…

I tried the demo, and while pretty varied, was only medium whelmed, but I've been intrigued by the idea of multiple endings unfolding via playthroughs, and I imagine that as I advanced and unlocked more abilities, the gameplay itself would expand (well, hopefully anyway). My main block is the shiny rust on shiny rust…

I would imagine it's more controversial now than it has been in quite a long time. I also imagine that more accurate information is available as well.

This conclusion is heavily influenced by the fact that I just rewatched Princess Mononoke, and my thoughts hew closely to the characterization of Ahistaka (deadly not-pacifist but insistently hesitant to start fights)—I wish Danny Rand would just dodge and only hit people with the fewest, most precise blows. It…

This feels like Danny Rand telling me about kung fu. Except it's tea.

Being a grownup is calling it and walking away! Mind you, that's hypothetical, as I'm not a grownup yet then.
