I played the Last of Us, and thought it was pretty good, but never understood why anybody would want to revisit it.  Then they made a DLC, a sequel, and now they're doing a remake and a TV series.

Here’s the thing about “people who menstruate” is that if what you’re talking about is actually specific to the biological process in question (like, say, you’re a marketing executive at Kotex) then whatever you’re saying isn’t really relevant to women who are post-menopause, women who are pre-menarche, women who have…

Everything Star Wars that’s come out after the Last Jedi has proven the thesis of the Last Jedi- that Star Wars needs to leave the past behind and grow outwards to tell other stories.

I think it’s important to disabuse giant corporations from the idea that “keeping our character forever” is a good idea by immediately compromising every character who enters the public domain ASAP.

As a long-time Dungeon Master, the first thing you do when you set up a group of nested tables, is you try to figure out what the worst possible combination of results would be and figure out if that's something you can live with.

Really, they should have gone with “Benoit Blanc has a completely different accent in every film and this is never explained or commented on.”

Aenys is a good name!  I think my second Dragon Age character was named Aenys.

I really don’t like this whole trend of “make things taste like hotdogs that are not, themselves, hotdogs”.  The hotdog is already scraping the bottom of the sausage barrel.

I feel like “How late are you open” is sometimes a legitimate question. Sure, sometimes it means “I’m coming, please accommodate me” but sometimes you just want to know if you can make it to a place before it closes and “you can’t” is a valid answer.

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.”
