I really don't know why I like it so much better than Terraria and Edge of Space (both of which I quite enjoyed), but it's wonderful. The detailed background and lovely soundtrack both surely help.

I did the same thing about misusing Blink. My urge to smash everything was a more visceral reaction to my not really getting how the game wanted me to handle its puzzles, I think—when my "walk softly" approach grew frustrating, my brain turned Gordian.

I keep meaning to replay Dishonored because I think my brain made the same mistake yours did. I found it oddly frustrating and kept wanting to just start blasting stuff, but reading how others experienced it, I'm convinced that I was looking at it wrong.

I did a full Windows reinstall (which Win 10 makes agreeably easy) and dropped a lot of my old unfinished gaming projects in the process.

Fair point about Carlin.

Replying as a second upvote because that name got me to audibly laugh, at work.

Reminds me of the first line of comics from here: http://www.harkavagrant.com…

See, I wasn't ready to go nearly as far as some here have in disliking her personally, but this is pretty tough. There are zero correct responses to her, got it.

Yeah, much agreed. A confessional comedian who is right dead-on is wonderful, and a smug one can be terrific if they really are that good. (It's not like Carlin was known for his meek humility, after all.) Plus, sometimes the lesser ones can ascend - if only temporarily - through sheer guts, like Tig Notaro's…

I find that increases his charm in my eyes, actually. He's doing all this lunacy in front of the camera, and then at the end of the day he turns it off, goes home to his wife in Vermont or wherever they live and acts like a normal person. That's what makes it great for me, and that's why he can get that…

I agree completely. That said, I'm inclined to give this one a pass just for that cast. I do share that "what the hell were they thinking?!?" vibe that some have expressed here.

She's a type of comedian that I just don't enjoy. It's like the punchlines to her jokes are all "See how right I am?" It's not just her, of course: there's a whole wave of comedians doing this kind of work, male and female, liberal and conservative, gay and straight, etc. Unless they have truly amazingly new ideas,…

I dearly wish we as a larger society could wrap our heads around the idea that Twitter should almost never be anything more than disposable snark. Very few things worth saying well, and very few ideas worth understanding clearly, are going to fit in its character limit. One-off jokes, insults and "no YOURE a loser"…

They're one of the few.

I adored her work on Drunk History enough that I was over halfway through I'm Gonna Die Alone before I realized I hated it. "Am I wearing pants?"

I do that so often. "Oh yeah, I heard that was good, I really should—oo, Robocop!"

I don't care what the movie itself says, if I ever see this (big "if") I'm going to assume that that's Frank Underwood on screen and that everything in this movie is canon to that show.

I read the phrase "insufferable figure of whimsy" and realized that I can't picture Walken being "insufferable" in anything. Even when he's in a go-nowhere mess of a film, he brings a spark to his parts that I always enjoy.

I love Rabin as a writer but it's like he can't help himself. And it's not just Trump; it started before Trump was even a blip on the radar.
