I still think he may be working on a way to transfer consciousness from human to host, and that will be William’s reward if he succeeds. How you ask? Well those drone hosts looked pretty advanced; robots making robots...

I can’t imagine the opposite, when games don’t get well received..making a game is hard and getting thrashed by reviews after working on it for years would really suck the life out of you. Mass Effect Andromeda was a good game but the media slaughtered it on a daily basis and I feel sorry for developers who face that…

The song was the theme of the outdoor relief protests in Belfast in 1932. These were a unique example of Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland protesting together, and the song was used because it was one of the few non-sectarian songs that both communities knew. The song lent its title to a book about the…

This is actually a little known fact, but the hook “I can’t get no,” was actually ripped off of a 1920's Chicagoland blues singer in the middle of the bananarama.

Some sources have tried to connect the writing of “Yes! We Have No Bananas” to the Panama Disease blight that ended large scale cultivation of the Gros Michel banana. The worst of the blight wouldn’t occur until 1950, though outbreaks happened throughout the first half of the 20th century, so it’s possible there was a…

Mostly, we had no.

The banana trees were blighted with a fungus called Dizzy Fingers.

We had none.

It’s almost as if we all live in a giant refrigerator, isn’t it?

I haven’t read the book either but my understanding is that the book is way more steeped in ’80s or at least ’80s-adjacent stuff and that the movie folds in a wider variety of references. My guess is that Spielberg digs The Iron Giant, and not wanting to re-use a lot of his own iconography, was happy to borrow another…

Nier Automata is a fucking chore for me but I continue to play because I sunk $40 into it. I keep thinking maybe this turd will polish itself at some point and I’ll have that eureka moment and end up loving it.

Far Cry’s version of the Monty Python running gag.

And then they went on Reddit and made up religions and mythology to explain it. That sounds right.

He doesn’t want to sleep with Robert Mueller.

Sure.

Probably once you start having lower numbers than other employees. You almost never go alone, so you’d have to convince them to go along too.
Even then in a month or so you’ll get “How come you only spotted 4 people while Johnson and Timbers have stopped 122?”

Dead on. Even if you have a partner (You’ll have a partner), things can get overlooked or unseen.

There’s probably a quota system of some kind. At the very least, if your numbers are significantly different from the rest of the agents who patrol that area, you’re going to get scrutinized.

I’d take the job then make announcements of my approach with a bull horn.
