Really? I have never seen the point in rolling city states, I just want to be friends with them/everyone.

We call it 'intermediate' in the part of Rand McNally I grew up in.

Oh, and I hate yo-yos.

Yes, due to my living in Rand McNally, these usually come up just in time for me to read them when I'm on the 6.30 train to work on a Monday morning but last week I ended up reading the book from my bag kind a sucker.

Aww, I think of that one fondly, if only for the Gravity's Rainbow reference and Database's "This is the life we chose". I get a lot of mileage out of the latter quote, most recently whilst coming down off acid and wandering the aftermath of a festival trying to find a friend's bag and lost shoe amongst the detritus.

Your disqus name is very similar to my twitter name. We are clearly pretty cool dudes.

I don't know, this is severely lacking on bangers but I feel like if this is just a stop-gap before Views from the 6 (as it appears like it will be) then it is pretty excellent throwaway material.

If we all stick to our agreement that season four doesn't exist, then I'd like to think that The Boondocks is in the conversation for 'B'.

Oh god, exponentially more.

I know I am in the minority here but I found him super annoying and spent most of ME2 and 3 trying to get him killed. Was pretty happy when it finally happened.

The moment during the Virmire mission in Mass Effect when I realised I couldn't save both Ashley and Kaidan was pretty revelatory for me. I mean, it wasn't a tough choice because Ashley was an ignorant space-racist but it did let me know this game wasn't fucking around.

Yes! I remember thinking that scene could have been straight from Twin Peaks. Vaguely soapy but in the most tense way possible.

He looks like a cross between David Byrne and a rooster but he's doing an amazing job.

Not helpful but my friend was doing a doctoral placement in a small town in rural Australia and the first night he moved there he and his bf turned on Grindr to try to find someone to have some fun with and there was only one profile within 300 kilometres.

Loving the Alien and Time Will Crawl (particularly the iSelect remix from the late 00s) are pretty excellent as well. I listen to Tin Machine more than Tonight or Never Let Me Down but none of them are as bad as Earthling in my book, though that is a fairly unpopular opinion amongst Bowie fans.

It sounds like Marah was an absolute beginner when it comes to Tenacious D, amirite?

You're right… they could have used more footage of Li'l Sebastian.

You're my best friend. No, no, no, no seriously… seriously. Has anyone got any more booze?

It's all good, I don't dwell on these things. This was actually the first time I've thought of her since this time a couple of years ago she changed her profile picture to her sitting cross-legged with a picture of Angkor Wat projected onto her and a caption about how spiritual she felt after visiting Cambodia.

There was a girl in my social circle at high school who would grab my cigarettes off me and stamp them into the ground. She's 30 now and tours small country songs singing songs about fairies and telling anyone who'll listen about the time Amanda Palmer complimented her. The worst part? She's doing much better in life…
