oh the Batch has been reading fanfiction at Martin Freeman's house again. Tsk tsk

If there's nothing she can do, why do you give enough of a shit to write a long, rambling post about it? Are you scared us girl gamers are gonna mess with your boy toys?

Gamers: "We want games to be considered Art!"

I wonder how many angry e-mails Budlight with Lime and Prescott Pharmaceuticals are gonna get this week.

There was a simmering anger about people like me — "Social Justice Warriors", as they call us — who are asking for change in the game industry: a better, broader representation of characters, among other things. We're "the cancer that's killing games", and Kotaku is seen as the key enemy site, with Polygon a close…

Well I'm glad someone finally recognized Halloween for what it is, yet another socialist reuse concocted to trick hard working rich people in to helping the less fortunate. I've been onto that scam for years which is why instead of handing out candy I hand out pamphlets carefully explaining to the children that they…

This is not just a "rich people" issue. I know plenty of middle class people in safe neighborhoods that get super pissed when carloads of kids from poorer areas get dropped off. Frankly I never understood the big deal. More kids means less candy for me to deal with later. Besides, if *I* lived in a less than safe…

Hell yes. And just so true to life. Sometimes kids don't have parents. And sometimes you scream and call your sister a stupidhead. And real life women sometime have thighs like Nani. And sometimes you have to spit at and bite people. That's just life.

Oh my god, that movie was so touching and funny and honest.

I don't even think either of the AvP movies are worse than Resurrection. God that movie was awful.

Alien: Isolation's first DLC is out next Tuesday, October 28. It'll add three new maps to the game's currently thin survivor mode, and will tell the story of a new playable character, a Seegson employee named Ransome. More info here; read our review of Isolation here.

I've gone in a slightly different route. Now I just plain question anybody with that much media pull. Oh, you're a beloved personality known throughout the world? Why, that's practically synonymous with being a sexual deviant. Why do you require all this adoration? Must have a lot of bodies to bury.

... point being that if you don't separate the art from the artist you will deny yourself the best art in the world ... for some reasons troubled souls seem to make the best artists, and troubled souls rarely avoid inflicting their troubles on those around them.

If you haven't—go watch "This Must Be The Place" —she plays the protective young friend/possible relative of Sean Penn's character...a long retired, comfortably rich but tortured Robert Smith like figure in full hair and makeup, who hunts down his estranged, deceased Jewish father's torturer from WWII. (Or as I'd like…

There is nothing I find more confusing than our culture's distrust of the bidet.

it's not the cramps. it's a hormone! the same hormone that causes you to slough your uterine lining makes you explode out all your poop.

Or, you know, like... when that tampon is All. Up. In. Dere. and won't budge because of the pooping muscles.

I don't always, but when I do, it's because the pooping muscles were ejecting the tampon anyway.

That's the thing, where does it end? When did shopping for useless shit become more important than people having time off to enjoy holidays with their families? I'm so fucking sick of what North America has turned into.

Okay, seriously. What in the actual fuck, folks?

I teach English at the college level; last year, I was privileged to teach ENG 230, which at my institution is a rotating (through the faculty) course that is generously labeled "Special Topics in Literature."

I taught my course, for two semesters, as "Gaming: Literary…
