Goddamn Lost was frustrating. It teased out some great sci-fi intrigue for a couple seasons, then completely buried it under mostly nonsensical ruminations on existence. They had a perfect vessel for building on those ideas in a tangible hubris-of-mankind sort of way with the Dharma Initiative, but instead whipped out …

I really want to get excited about Borderlands because it addresses something I want in a big shooter: bright, fun art. But I tried BL2 a couple years back and got bored after a few hours because it felt sparse and grind-y. Should I have pushed through? Is there a lot of fun story and environments I missed?

Oh my goddamn thank you! Edible my eye. Just because it doesn’t give me jaundice doesn’t mean it should be fed to humans. Get a slice of german chocolate and stare at a Claudel.

I just finished a budget home theater project that included building a (less budget) computer. First ever build and I gotta say, the relief I felt when it actually turned on and functioned was big. Gonna be vacillating between Better Call Saul and RE2.

I’m so stoked about this. Y’all are buried under all the terrible east coast fans and don’t realize how awful the Giants’ fanbase is. Getting Harper would have been akin to the moment online teens discovered swatting.

Pop music is brimming with writers and musicians who are pushed into accepting access and exposure (within the industry) in lieu of credit and recognition, all in service of building stars’ brands. Meek Mill was right and instead of digging in and reporting on this most of the media chose instead to clap like seals at…

It’s gonna be raining here in Sacramento, so I really want to get absurdly comfy and play a goofy, over-serious mystery game. Can anyone suggest something Heavy Rain-ish for PC?

Me, 200 years late, lips directly on the microphone: Football Needs Clown Balls.

Yes! Cracked pepper is the best and most versatile, but the rosemary ones are good too. Perfect textural counterpoint.

This dude was an idiot and should get some form of the The Boot, but the real trash here, as always, is the liquor commission. They live to fuck up peoples lives, and most of the punishment is reserved for working class/poor people and actual small businesses. I worked at a 7-Eleven here in CA and every weekend, if…

Oof.

I’m no Harden apologist, but one thing he’s done better than anyone is cause a whole new generation of basketball fans to out themselves as red-assed travel truthers. If this was some Beauty and the Beast shit, every one of these clowns would turn into a clarinet.

I know that this can never truly be basketball’s buttfumble given Draymond’s actual skill and that the Warriors are extremely not the Jets, but this has the same kazoo blast as the buttfumble and I love it. 

No way to reconcile these numbers without acknowledging Sony’s unforced errors (a lot of those lately), but also Nintendo fans would have bought out the NES/SNES classics even if they were decorative and had no games at all. The nostalgia fever burns hot in that sector which is why all the Amiibo crap and Disney Vault…

Hi, everyone! This is the best xmas tradition and the dang link died, so here’s a fresh one. Chappie Holidays!

Today I saw both a “you shouldn’t date if you have any mental health issues” take and a “you’re a coward and a manipulator if you leave a relationship to seek help for mental health issues” take (instagram is the most awful place), so I’m sitting here breathing in this lovely, reasonable take like it’s an alpine…

Def a clone army of former King of the Hill producers. 

*cooks a pizza on this take*

I don’t know that I can be convinced that the positive outweighs the negative anymore. Even in the best cases where fandom isn’t descended upon by trolls, it devolves into dog-piling over minutiae or ends up defending some awful thing as kink. Wanting to shut out the hellworld for a moment of peace is reasonable, but…
