I always thought it was just assumed. Especially on sites like AvClub. 
That's why I always make a note of it when I am expressing an actual unironic and sincere belief (it does happen here, just not often)

M.I.A.'s political lyrics make Zack de la Rocha sound like an analytical post-colonial essayist.

Well, at least when she does things like this, it makes it harder for postmodern cyberpunk satirists to make up William Gibson-y stuff that hasn't already been done. Makes them work for their paycheck.

He's been shaving with Mr. Brownstone, the Hair Aid for Men

No matter how much he sucks, he'll never be admitted to the Albini Club. Currently, that club consists of Steve Albini (most of the time, when he's not in a self-hating phase)

Awkwardly, just after this, he said "YehYehYehYehYehYehYehYehYaYaiYaiYaiYaiYaiYaaaaaaa!" but reporters still interpreted this as "No."

Actually I agree, Yar's Revenge and Vanguard were cool. I unfairly lumped Yar's Revenge in with Raiders because there is a hidden Yar in there that appears if you do something random which I forget.

YES. Me and my friend finally figured it out, after several months of effort. Once. ONCE. You had to steal a parachute and then fall into a pit and steer yourself into a cavern and then dig (with the shovel which GOD HOPE you picked up earlier) for approximately 3952 hours until you actually found the Ark.

Let's not forget East Haverbrook, by gum!

Hey! Anyone care what this guy thinks?

And I shall be on the Internet within seconds registering my disapproval!

Podcasts aren't part of the market economy. They are gifts from people who want to make them and enjoy doing it. They can act as auxiliary marketing tools, but the best are free of the lie that the whole entertainment media tells itself constantly; the lie that says "we are an important industry, not just brain…

Try Battles!

Hey, business is business. They should be happy for every box of Theraflu they move. I call this "tapping into a new market". Just like the crunk rappers did with cough syrup. As long as he doesn't endorse shoplifting it, they should be happy for the publicity!

RIP to one of the greats. 
I met him at the NAMM show in Nashville back in 2004 or so. He was incredibly nice and quite interesting to chat with. And nobody has improved on the Marshall sound when it's cranked up.

Do they freeze you to death, or just nearly?

It took me years to perfect that terlet!
