There's a fun 2012 Malcolm Gladwell article for the New Yorker about how Atticus was not an integration advocate, but a pre-civil rights dixiecrat whose belief in the equality of black people did not extend to any desire of social upheaval. In fact, his mere existence as a "voice of reason" defending Tom allowed the…

If Harper Lee died and this came out afterwards would the ethics be any different? I'm just curious.

When I read that line, I really thought Atticus had been murdered. I still don't get it.

His name was Jared Fogle.

That obesity excuse is so stupid I went from indifferent to sort of outraged.

Toonces is the best! The stock footage of the car exploding every time. The time Toonces was chasing Sarah Connor? So stupid. Love.

I feel like Platinum Games' Madworld did everything this game could have done right, anyway. People who knock the wii's motion controls need to seek out its better titles, which were shamefully ignored.

I recently started getting into 1999's hottest online shooter, Team Fortress Classic. I've tried it, and it's fanmade progeny Fortress Forever, but right now it's feeling like a great game to hang out on, where half the players have been there fifteen years and the others have been there fifteen minutes.

GOB's total disregard for Steve Holt(!) is probably the worst of them all.

They said it'll be online. Still going to be hard to coordinate, without chat, and the levels looked more like gba four swords than the excellent gamecube sequel.

Mother 3 tomorrow plz

The mix of cgi and practical effects was pretty excellent at least.

So tired of twee hand-drawn momentum platformers.

Pokemon Snap/Stadium, Kirby 64 and StarFox 64 still pretty good to me as far as first party goes, although the starfox character models are hideous.

David Wise's soundtracks arev definitely part of it. They've aged better than most pop music of that year.

Im still stuck on the cave in world three.
