I vaguely remember reading the first couple books when they came out and thinking they weren’t that bad, so this feels like a bit of a shame. But considering Eoin Colfer did that awful Hitchhiker’s Guide book, it feels a bit more like poetic justice.

...how would a VPN ‘hide your IP’ from your ISP? You know, those guys that give you that IP address in the first place?

For what it’s worth, the YouTube uploads for Monster are unofficial and could be taken down at any time; for whatever reason, Viz seems to have dropped the license for the anime despite continuing to publish reprints of the manga. There’s no longer any legal way to rent or stream it in the US, and as far as I know…

It’s no substitute, but given that James Roday and Dulé Hill are both listed as participants for this At-Home Variety Show thing, I suspect we’ll see something Psych-related sooner rather than later.

By about this point next year, the release gap between Skyrim and Elder Scrolls VI will be longer than it was from Morrowind to Skyrim. And honestly, with how Fallout 4 and 76 were handled... I’m okay with that.

Nobody is forcing you to download and install this software. Rather, you’re accepting Riot’s terms that in order to play the game provided, you consent to installing and using their anti-cheat software.

To be a pedant, the song is titled “Brain Damage”, despite the lyric becoming the title of the album.

It’s weird, I knew he was the Soldier, but somehow despite the hundreds of hours spent playing and quoting Star Fox 64, and the similarities between the two voices, I never made the connection there.

Every day I become more and more convinced: I died five or six years ago, and this stupidest possible timeline is actually just Hell.

The timing on this seems pretty bizarre - isn’t there supposed to be a sequel to Tri coming out pretty soon? I’m guessing that’s going to close the door on the ‘original’ Adventure universe pretty definitively, then.

So did they update the battles to include subtitles for this release, or no? That was one of my biggest pet peeves with the original - it’s not really necessary since you can grasp most of the generic battle banter’s meaning from context, but then you get a boss monologue or something, and just have to sit there…

Sure, the Ouya was a disappointment... but do you remember the GameStick? I spent all of two days trying to get my controller to properly stay connected before the damn stick itself stopped working. Thankfully it wasn’t a gift; I brought the curse upon myself for the low, low price of $9 at GameStop.

I always felt like Torchlight II got less love than it deserved, and while that’s kind of understandable for an ARPG sandwiched between Diablo III and Path of Exile, Torchlight II was pretty damn fun in its own right. I guess it got a console port a few months ago, too, which seems... strange, considering Runic is…

I’ll be honest: I’ve bought every Disgaea game (even Infinite) and some of them more than once. I still don’t think I’ve ever held interest in any of them past the second long enough to complete the main quest, much less the postgame content. Of the PS3 era and onwards, though, I think D4 is the one I actually stuck…

I still think it’s pretty dumb, but I can’t really complain if they’re toning down the content in the Japanese version as well.

But how else am I going to generate elves on my phone???

Another day, another distraction.

The game doesn’t have to be good, or memorable. It’s already gotten the attention it seeks by having major sites talking about it; that’s all it needed to do. KFC’s getting a bucketful of free advertising from sites that have little or nothing to do with marketing alleged foodstuffs, all for the low cost of paying…

He admitted the costume was racist, saying: “Yes it was. I didn’t consider it racist at the time, but now we know better.”

Calling Stallman a ‘former MIT professor’ understates who he is just about as much as calling Jimmy Page ‘a guitarist from London’. He is (much like Page) a jackass and a creep, but there’s also no denying that he’s a household name in CS and software development communities.
