I definitively remember making maps of Zelda dungeons by hand. This feels doubly ridiculous in retrospect, because Zelda actually made maps for you.

The restaurant industry, too! Although to be fair, the "white people don't know the damn difference anyway" theory has been working well for them.

"Soaked in camp" is… pretty hyperbolic. Even Daredevil itself isn't campy - we don't have any wacky Silver Age-y shenanigans, improbable deathtraps, hero vs. villain surf contests, fourth-wall breaking, or really any of the markers of camp besides the characters getting to smile. There's joking, but the stakes are…

The video for "A Million Ways" came out well before "Here It Goes Again" though. Did that not pass the threshold for going viral? I thought it was pretty well known, if less visually impressive than everything they've done since.

Yep, sounds like it lives in the very specific middle ground of the "On sale" and "Under 3 hours to beat" Venn diagram.

It doesn't sound like Ray was upset so much as confused, the way Spike tells it.

It's decent, not notably good though.

In my experience, the music went a long way in letting you forget what an awful person you were being. From the death scenes and the temple scenes, it's clear that you're doing something you shouldn't be. But when you use a geyser to flip over a gigantic turtle and Revived Power starts blaring, my lizard brain kicks…

It really is an example of how weird and tricky games are, as media.

Phalanx was far and away my favorite, but I don't think I'd call it introspective. I mean, if I played it now, it would be. But at the time, I was incredibly pumped that I was killing a giant flying snake in part by leaping from a sprinting horse to tackle it. And it was actual gameplay instead of a context-sensitive…

I'm a little surprised that hamburqueso never got coined, really.

I kept reading it as "pimpliest." Given that Resident Evil has been living in its awkward phase for almost 20 years now, I'm tempted to stand by it.

I was about to say, I'd be shocked if most of those titles don't get the Waid Daredevil treatment of "Yep, that's a major arc done. Time for a new #1." (Which is fine.) That's been Marvel's MO for a while, between Marvel Now, All-New, Heroic Age, etc. It's mostly just a new number.

Part of it is likely that movie novelizations are typically based on an early version of the script, if on a complete version at all. As a result, it's not uncommon for them to be wildly different from the final product. The lack of internet at the time was surely a factor, but even if word was out, it'd have been…

If Dexter taught us anything, it's that there's a high demand for ghost dad sequences. More Charles Dance! More Sean Bean!

Jon at Craster's last season was fine. Jon at Craster's on the ranging party's way out was terrible time-wasting on a total non-mystery.

FF4 is doubly weird in that it's generally well-liked but rarely anyone's favorite, and yet it's been released in like 10 different forms. Seriously, look at this ridiculousness.

Yeah… on the one hand, it's a spectacularly well-drawn piece, comic book covers have a long and storied history of having squat-all to do with stories inside, and it was even a variant cover rather than the normal one. On the other hand, what the living fuck you morons, how does harassing and threatening people about…

There's definitely a big gap between "I'm sorry you were offended" and an actual apology. I just don't feel like we're anywhere near that point in this case.

The email was sent to her husband because it was a direct response to an email he had sent to Chris in the first place. I don't think we get anywhere by nitpicking the particulars of an apology that appears to be pretty sincere. This clearly isn't a Marshawn Lynch "I'm just saying this to not get fined" situation.
