Kristen Wiig is funny but she doesn’t get enough credit for her dramatic range.

It’s a good idea to alert the embassy if you’re visiting a country that has been known to sometimes be hostile to foreign travelers, particularly Americans. I let them know I was around when I visited countries in the Middle East, parts of Asia and Central America.

The legal grounds on what any country’s embassy can do is pretty limited. They cannot circumvent local laws or shield you from legal action being taken. When you are visiting a foreign country, you are subject to the various laws of that country. An embassy can only provide support and assistance. Being able to find a…

Without your comment I was as lost as a sub in a lake.

I love a good completely random comic.

We're "the cancer that's killing games", and Kotaku is seen as the key enemy site, with Polygon a close…

All it takes is one unhinged person to kill someone. That her home address was published makes it materially easier for that to happen, which was the intent of publishing it — to terrorize women into keeping silent through threats of violence towards them. "We know where you live," it says. Can you tell the…

Stop using Bing.

That's not fair. Eric's portion of the finale was hilarious and awesome.

True Dexter.

Holy shit go listen to Freddie Mercury, Joan Jett, Pat Benatar live...you will quickly learn just how low your standards are.

I made this holder out of the Lifehacker-favorite binder clip, wall pins, and two "reclaimed" paperclips. Super-easy, strong, and free (if no one's watching the supply closet).
