I did NOT know that. Thanks for the heads-up! You just saved me a shit-ton of treasure hunting.

I knew to hold off after I got my ass handed to me by the first one I stumbled upon, and then tried a second one who beat me to death in about 30 seconds. Even after I got the Valkyrie armor I decided Odin’s hidden chambers could remain hidden until I leveled my weapons all the way up. I need to go back, but I’ve…

It’s about goddam time. Those EPS cups have been ridiculous for a couple of decades now. Not that I’ll drink Dunk’s mediocre coffee, but the cups still annoy the shit out of me.

I totally agree. Their track record with TV series has been pretty good, but movies? None of them have been sub-The Room, so they have that going for them.

Prices have risen or stayed the same since the Telecom act of 1996 was passed, largely because they allowed for the companies to go wild with mergers, reducing competition. You’re conflating the TCA with the breakup of the Bell monopoly in 1982. Ending the monopoly is what allowed for competition and lowered prices. Th…

And that’s related to this magazine cover...how?

To be fair, I’m a grown man that wears Chucks and I’m as gay as spring-scented Mr. Clean.

Oh, I did, right around the time Sapienza was released. I agree - it’s fantastic. And the amount of replayability is off the charts.

I really enjoyed AC: O by and large, but I despise the boating combat. It’s tedious and unwieldy. There are two main mission boating sequences and one side mission that came with a preorder. They each only constitute about 15 minutes of gameplay, start-to-finish, but the second sequence is hard as hell (playing on…

Holy shit, I totally missed that. What a bummer. The rollout was a total trainwreck, what with the multiple release delays, the terrible initial plan to only make each episode available separately for purchase, and then the decision to offer a season pass preorder which they proceeded to canceled en masse and make…

And can we talk about the how the show has just chucked its own mythology out the window where walkers are concerned? Time was you had to pierce the brain to take them down, but as of last night you can whack them upside the head with an ax handle, or on top of the head with a rapier, and they go right down. Neither…

I’m also not a big FPS guy, but give me a shooter with a full-length campaign and an involving story and I’m in. I pre-ordered Wolfenstein II as soon as I heard that it has no online multiplayer. That’s the mark of quality as far as I’m concerned.

The Silver and Gold editions are identical in terms of in-game bonuses; the Gold edition just also comes with a bunch of physical bonuses like posters, etc. The in-game bonuses are a couple of power-ups that last a few hours as well as a few high-powered Orcs captains that you can add to your army as soon as you get…

Love this, love her. This would make a great regular feature!

Great piece, Katie, and thanks for encouraging engagement on this subject. Trolling fanboys gonna troll, but a guy like League, who should - and probably does - know better, needs to get that being an otherwise positive force in film doesn’t get you a free pass to be a tone-deaf, hurtful dumbass. Some dude freaking…

There are innumerable things this guy said that are nonsense, but the idea that actual Chicagoans talk about how great our public transit is is straight-up bullshit. The CTA is great if you live by - or are going to a place nearby - the train, but that’s a tiny fraction of the city. The rest of the system sucks,…

To be fair, he’s very pretty. Not “I’m going to see a live-action version of Aladdin” pretty; more like “I’ll go to see him in anything other than a live-action version of Aladdin unless he’s doing full-frontal in the live-action version of Aladdin” pretty.

Nineties. Gay Nineties. I’ve always pictured you singing barbershop in a celluloid collar, spats, and those upper-arm garters old-timey bank tellers and blackjack dealers used to wear. My AlienJesus fantasies get really raunchy after that, but sadly, all of my AVC commenter fanfic was lost in the Great Kinjapocalypse…

Oh, AlienJesus - thank god Kinja didn’t send you running for the hills. You’re my #1 source for filthy, AV Club-related gay jokes.
