I heard a story thirdhand from a Guitar Store employee in LA that Roth once walked in, talked shit about Eddie Van Halen without any prompting, then smoked a HUGE joint with said employee in the alley behind the store. Then they go to get pizza and the entire ride over Diamond Dave, is singing “I got it baaaaad,…

I was waiting tables at a fairly ok restaurant in Evanson, IL that had a movie theater above it. They did the premiere for some small-budget Paul Reiser-Columbo movie, The Thing About My Folks. Paul is sitting on the patio with three or four other people. In the course of the meal, customers more or less leave him…

I’m looking forward to laughing at all the people who will leave a huffy comment about how this isn’t funny

Fucking PHEW. Thanks Mike

Chet Haze now looks like a long lost Bundy brother. Terrifying

Makes u think

Heather. This series is BRILLIANT. Are you going to be looking across all consoles/formats? Part of the reason I picked up a PS4 is because it seemed like the indie scene was more robust than XB1, and I don’t have the cash or inclination to get a big gaming rig

I think you nailed it in that first big paragraph. Nowadays I primarily play games for their narrative value, and I don’t have as much time to devote to them as I’d like. Given that, the idea of having to REPLAY a game over and over so I can actually play it smoothly is INCREDIBLY unappealing. I understand that this…

It’s not “intellectually dishonest” to favor abolishing an institution that you also think should do the job it was created for.

For instance, the combat controls are objectively horrendous, yet they expect you to take on bosses who are legitimately TOUGH in this game. Going off of other comments, this was a…

“Is this ever explained anywhere by the game/publisher?” should be the fucking tagline of this series. They don’t explain ANYTHING WHATSOEVER and expect you to trial and error your way to victory. I had to find a walkthrough just to best explain things.

FACTS. If they had done the first or second one without a time limit, they would have been FAR more enjoyable: difficult, scrambling, but without the same sense of “oh shit, I’m totally boned if I don’t hit this event RIGHT NOW”

This was my thought as well. I think it’s the origin of Snoke.

All of this is true.

Congratulations Evan! Gonna miss your comics writing here, but it’s awesome you’re chasing down new opportunities. Marvel’s lucky to have you

SERIOUSLY. I think Germain gets this kind of access because he basically has no critical apparatus whatsoever.

This is “Headless Man Found in Topless Bar” levels of genius. Have a star, won’t you?

I don’t think you know what clickbait actually means
