I heard that sometimes when two straight men try to pass each other in the hallway without anyone else present but when they’re wearing the same outfit one of them will try and vogue without understanding why and then the other one will be dead inside a week.

He’s obligated to talk about it when people bring it up.

Actually, both Benedict XVI and Francis have suggested that the church’s stance on birth control should shift. Benedict suggested a couple years back that condoms ought to be used for disease prevention and Francis has suggested that they should just drop the issue because it’s not important.

Making a point of apologizing for each specific insult sounds like something out of a twelve step or anger management program to me.

Alan Wake was the third best flashlight-driven pseudo-horror game influenced by Stephen King and David Lynch to come out that year.

Well, what I mean is, I think she’s paid more not because she’s valued more, but because Ted and Don are invested in the idea that she is for their own reasons (Ted’s romantic interest and Don seeing her as his). I really don’t think a behemoth like McCann would let those personal preoccupations get in the way of a…

One thing I was thinking through the whole headhunting scene... Peggy’s probably being paid more than a woman copy chief at a comparable agency because two of the partners are personally invested in her success and her value. Don said it himself way back in the Suitcase, her pay is how he shows he values and…

The issue apparently was that they were still using 1990s workflow for 2000s games. Print documentation and so on. This, along with the fact that QA is one of the first places that major publishers cut corners when dealing with indie devs, basically explains their history of buggy games.

I think that people thought it might be grandfathered in because it’s still an ongoing franchise.

Eh. Their last couple releases haven’t been especially buggy. They modernized their workflow a while back and that’s done wonders.

I think it’s because TOR is a garbage game whose development and release were a hilarious debacle, and which didn’t substantially build on the previous games in the series in an interesting way.

Ponyo was Miyazaki deliberately trying to alienate certain Ghibli fans, both in terms of the simple narrative and the throwback/shapeless character designs.

Sorry if I'm babbling on, I just, I'm a huge fan of Quiet Revolution-era lit, and I'm kinda perpetually weirded out by how rarely it comes up when people talk about Megan and her folks.

Megan is Betty 2.0, and I think that watching their marriage made a lot of people (me in particular) a lot more sympathetic to Betty.

The worst part of the accents?

Her situation is more complicated than that though.

My main issue is that their agnosticism about endings means that Malik is gone.

Even odds are Manderley is even going to turn up as your boss because he was with Interpol in Europe during the time period when the game was set, heading up a UN/Interpol task force Bob Page used to cut off the Illuminati’s financial backing.

Well, they tried artsier and more abstract trailers for HR and there was a lot of backlash. Here, the focus seems to be on showing some of Jensen’s new augs off and showing some of the conflict.

Who says he stops them? Who says he doesn’t join them? After all, the only reason you’re against Bob Page in Deus Ex is that they cut the MJ-12 MQ path while scoping it. It’s entirely possible that Jensen (as well as other key figures, like Sarif) might agree with the conspiracy in the end.
