Even absent any information about the actual game "Cursed to Golf" is an A+ title.

Hopefully the game is successful enough that the Chiodo Brothers get to make the sequels they've been trying to get made for approximately three decades.

Yeah, Destiny sounds neat but “you can’t experience the entire story because you didn’t start playing it soon enough” is a deal-breaker. Literally nothing else works like this.

I think it was the first Happy Death Day for me. Since there was kind of a puzzle to solve for that one.

I mean “you worry about marketing and make sure it tastes like you want it to taste, and we’ll handle producing a consistent product that is safe to consume” seems like a reasonable partnership.

That Polygon review makes me wonder what if I didn’t like Saint’s Row 2 but I did like the later games specifically because they were “aggressively bonkers”.

No.  I’m not even going to scan a QR code at a restaurant.

One thing to keep in mind is that Gaiman spent 20+ years fending off adaptations of Sandman that didn’t live up to his vision.  So it makes sense that he’d take a position of “I’d rather not make any more than not make it the way I want it to be.”  Netflix needs another big hit after Stranger Things ends, so this is…

The issue with real aioli is that garlic is a botulism vector and botulism thrives in an anaerobic environment (like “covered in oil”). So when you make it the traditional way, you kind of have to eat it right away. It’s not the sort of thing your local diner is going to leave sitting around until someone orders…

It’s sort of unclear why they’re pushing this product now when the technology that makes it doable isn’t going to come around for another 15 or so years. It feels like they’re poisoning the well against the idea by doing it incompetently.

It is very funny to lose a court case, appeal and then have the appellate judge basically say “you should have lost harder.”

While “Dream of a Thousand Cats” is delightful, it probably would have been better to just skip “Calliope” entirely. There’s probably no way to fix the inherent truly gross misogyny of that story.

I genuinely do want to see Dr. Oz use a knife to cut up carrots into stick-form. I feel like there’s a lot we can learn about him there.

I'm not sure what Wegner's normally carries, but what he was grabbing were not the "super-tender early chutes" that the asparagus plant sends up.  I think he just grabbed for it because asparagus is normally more expensive than things like "celery" or "cucumbers" or "bell peppers."

The low key funniest part for me is that he reaches for the asparagus (a thing that is always spendy out of season) for a crudités. Barring the very tenderest early season asparagus (not available in August), you will always want to blanch asparagus for your veggie tray at which point it no longer counts as crudités,…

My sincere belief is that soup, like a hotdog, is a sandwich.

I mean, the length of a game question is not totally unreasonable. At various points in your life you will have more or less money to spend on discretionary entertainment. If you’re at a low point, a game that you spend $60 on and you finish in a weekend and don’t think this is something you want to revisit is a…

The convenient thing is that they can just forget Barry Allen exists and cast someone else as Wally West. Much like we can forget about Hal Jordan because of that Ryan Reynolds movie, but there’s Kyle, John, Guy, Simon, and Jessica available to take up the mantle.

I take issue with the “why is there pumpkin spice in this” in terms of things that exist only to make things smell nice. Pumpkin spice is just cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and clove (sometimes also allspice) and those are all nice smells, separately or together.

I mean I have the Netflix App on my phone but I've never used it since I feel like Netflix as a streaming service is more for stuff you want to sit down and pay attention to than “junk food to occupy your time” (that’s Hulu’s gig.)
