The irony of the co-writer of a Harriet movie where they made up a black slave catcher named Bigger Long and cast Taylor Swift’s current beau as another made up character, being pissed about an movie executive wanting to cast Julia Roberts as Tubman, has not been lost upon me.

His games cutscenes may be above average for a game, but they’re not better acted and directed than a B movie if you’re objective.

The hit was certainly dirty, but the thinking behind the act wasn’t too far out there—though I doubt that’s an argument that will help him in his upcoming player safety hearing.

I think the word you wanted was especially.

Damn! The guy’s just trying to follow the rules, and he gets punished for it. Everyone knows that in the NFL, celebrating is not allowed.

There were also several green-screen booths set up where you could have whatever background you wanted...

Yeah, but games nowadays just disable the soundtrack so I’m not sure. Plus the games are old and up in their entirety already. Not so sure about this one.

Part of DragonCon takes place at the Georgia Aquarium at night, but the forest is clearly off-site.

Who said anything about beaning? That’s barbaric.

Fuck Norfolk in particular, was so bummed when my son got orders to go there.

I don’t know why, but I get the feeling like I’ve seen that design before. A big orb with lots of weapons on the outside. Hmmm.

I need to save room for the Pop Tarts I plan for lunch.

The good news is that his splitter looks great.

I used to think my ex was speaking extemporaneously when she said, “If you want to go, go. You two deserve each other.” Now I realize she was just butchering an African proverb and not actually trying to hurt my feelings. I’m going to call her and tell her about this funny misunderstanding. Thanks!

No, see these were all said by a person NAMED Africa. That's where the confusion comes in.

This. Penny-Arcade actually has something about life in it, not just punchlines that require knowledge about a specific in joke in a specific game. They actually matured as writers and artists.

The ref didn’t skate into Wideman either. Wideman skated in a straight line and cross-checked him. The argument is Wideman did this because he was “concussed”. If Wideman were to get out of his cheapshot because of a concussion, what’s to stop every other asshole player (like Bertuzzi) to start blaming concussions for…

Yeah, I know. I’m not yet 40, and the short term memory loss is a killer, and the migraines suck. Good times.
