I'm pretty much convinced that Becca is every moronic Facebook friend rolled into concentrated hate.

I've seen a lot of similar critiques of this game that it it's fairly shallow. As an adult person with a demanding academic career, the idea of booting this up and blasting some rebel scum for a half hour sounds like a great way for the old noggin to check out for a while.

Primal Rage is awesome. Sure, the combat is never going to get it into EVO, but you got to control clay-mation dinosaurs! And hit other clay-mation dinosaurs! I came across a pristine arcade cabinet of it in a pizza place near the Grand Canyon and I was like a little kid again pumping in quarters.

I knew that kid, too! He figured out the Game Genie code to add fatalities to Street Fighter, but he wouldn't say what it was!

The early parts of KOTOR 2 are so amazing. The atmosphere and the vibe of a galaxy consumed by shadows is awesome. But the game is broken. I mastered force choke slam, so basically boss fights consisted of me being The Undertaker over and over without ever taking a shot.

I first played through this game as light side, then as dark side. Light side powers are for the most part completely lame. Oh, you can make cows like you? Big deal. Dark side allows you to be a one-man wrecking crew. Also, the Jedi are a bunch of slimy politicians like everyone else.

I liked how they described Gretchen as a "lamp of a girlfriend."

In a very depressing episode, I laughed at Jimmy's reaction to his neighbors assuming "writer" meant that he wrote for television.

As someone who teaches about war for a living, I don't need to come to AVClub to see "soldier" misspelled. I already read that twenty times a day, thank you very much.

I revisit this album from time to time, more so than a lot of the 90s alt-rock catalogue. There's something about the mix of dream pop and metal that makes this album unique, even among the other Pumpkins albums.

Are we not gonna talk about how Vern stashes like a billion dollars cash money, enough pills to kill an NFL franchise, and a passport in his freezer?

Eleven questions without any questions about Hackers is eleven questions wasted.

The reason NXT "ppvs" are leaps and bounds above the main roster is that you actually care about the wrestlers! Asuka was brand new, but you just wanted someone to put the self-obsessed Dana Brooke in her place. You cheered when the smaller Gable was able to bounce back and put the much larger Corbin into a Northern

"Postpartum murder is so basic" might be the funniest joke yet.

Yeah I didn't get that. That match had amazing psychology with Owens basically grinding down the bigger, stronger Ryback until eventually he gave up. No finishers or big spots, just the accumulation of punishment.

My problem with the whole face Lana is her personality changed too much. It was the same problem when Austin turned heel. No matter how she aligns, Lana should be a power agent for her love interest. Now she's just the chick.

That crowd was mark central. Not that there's anything wrong with being a mark, but shoot-y promos are better reserved for hipster fans.

As someone who has never been a big Bella fan, that promo by Nikki was great. She's the division's top heel who acknowledges that scratching and clawing to the top of the division means becoming a person that no one likes. The whole diva segment was an A+.

I read that line as Edgar being insecure over his inability to get Lindsay to like him, and he was looking for some honest feedback from a nice stranger.

As someone who is the same age as Aya (and presumably Gretchen), I could connect with the bar scene where the other group is a decade younger and up for crazier shenanigans. People born in the mid 90s can now drink alcohol legally.
