Ooh, thanks so much for remembering! I forgot to put that in the stray observations this week. Much obliged.

Whoa! You are my hero.

Whoa! You are my hero.

What you're ignoring is that when Sherlock turns to Watson to make sure that his spidey-sense is still "working," he gathers clues from all over Watson's face. Then he turns back to Adler's face, and he can't get anything out of it. The lack of clothes isn't the difference here, it's the impenetrable, blank front that…

That's very nice of you to say. I won't pretend that this one came together the way I was hoping, because it didn't, but that's the way it goes sometimes. I did hope that some comparisons with the original Adler would prompt some discussion of the way the creators treated that character, because as I said, I felt that…

Thanks, Nebuly! That sounds like a winner.

I don't know, but I got the same sad vibe. That "Thanks For Watching" message — don't thank me, damn it! I don't want to be done watching. Probably shouldn't read too much into it, though.

Funny episode. I did in fact see it. Thanks for your concern.

At least you gave it a chance!

Please. The A.V. Club barely covered games before. Now AVC is pouring significant resources into games, and they've given me the freedom to tailor the site to the needs of the coverage. You have to work really hard to perceive a ghettoization here. This is a huge show of faith.

1. We're definitely sticking with Disqus. It gives us the closest thing to integration with AVC comments. I'm sorry to hear we won't have your comments over there.

Agreed, and I hope so too!

It's a fair question, Erik, but I never gave a lot of thought to how we fit into the games-media space. That's not really a big concern for me — I don't think of the site as occupying some niche in the games universe, but rather as a pop-culture site about games. My focus has been on bringing our own vision to life as…

If you're using Google Reader, you'll see some articles in the feed cache that are from pre-launch testing. Unfortunately there is no way to remove those links because Google NEVER clears articles from its Reader cache. Sorry for the confusion.

NDN, I can see your account email address from the moderation panel. If you email me at john at gameological dot com, I can hook you up, and then you should be able to merge your AVC account with a general Disqus account.

We're working on the slowness. Sorry about that.

No, you don't.

You can go to gameological.com for a little bit of further explanation, but not much; we're playing it fairly close to the vest at the moment. That said, you pretty much have the right idea. And thanks for those words of encouragement! It means a lot to me.

Look, nate_boi, I get what you're talking about, and I find proselytization through criticism to be just as irritating as you do. But there's a difference between proselytization and simple admiring praise. This review is engaging in the latter. It's just the kind of review that we're proud to publish.

Well, that's one of the nicest "complaints" I've ever heard. It's cool to hear that you enjoy our voice, and I'm sorry we didn't get around to I Am Alive. We've been spread a little thin this month — I'm working on Gameological stuff, and many of our contributors were busy at GDC — so we couldn't get someone to cover…
