The first porn video I ever streamed was RealVideo encoded. Maybe I'm remembering incorrectly, but it might have taken a little while to buffer.

I bought my first DVD (Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter, ftw) before my family owned a DVD player. Specifically I bought it during finals week at the end of my freshman year of college, expecting to watch it with a rich friend who had a whole entertainment system I the dorm. Then there was a shipping delay, and it showed

I saw Raiders of the Lost Ark in a retro theater in college, and it was a huge milestone for me in terms of appreciating cinema. Because I'd seen the pan and scan VHS version on an 18" TV so many times growing up, I could actually appreciate what the larger format and widescreen compositions brought to the table. This

Of the special editions, Jedi is probably the shittiest - that fucking musical scene at Jabba's palace is worth ten Greedos shooting first and seven Australian Boba Fetts. Although I can't even remember which of these things are in the 997 SEs and which are in the DVD SEs.

It's amazing, really, given the commercial demand. There were the DVDs that came out in the mid 2000s and included the theatrical versions as bonus features.

I got that box set of the original trilogy for Christmas of 1994 or 1995 and probably watched each video 20 times. They replaced the copies my parents had recorded off of TV in the late 80s. When they rereleased those crappy VHS quality DVDs of the theatrical versions in the 2000s, it was really a nostalgia trip.

I remember seeing the special editions in the theater and being reasonably impressed with them (I actually didn't notice the "Greedo shooting first" thing until I saw them on video several years later). I definitely had more fun seeing the rereleases of the unaltered theatrical versions a year earlier, though. It's

Allegedly he got Jurassic World and Episode IX on the strength of Safety Not Guaranteed, which… Sure. Richard Marquand didn't have all that much in his CV. But he wasn't hired to write the damn thing.

Oh, I meant their dad's relationship with his father and (most of all) the uncle who left him the house.

(cue laugh track)

I don't really see that as a flaw, though. The characters acted impulsively, and their primary interest was their relationship - it fits with the characters we've gotten to know through the course of the game. The impression of the sister is that she's temperamental and kind of immature but also pretty great. I took

On my first playthrough I was really nervous that the sister had killed herself, so finding out she was alive was enough for a legitimately happy ending.

Their dad's relationship with his family is the big one - actually so big that it kind of overwhelms the other stories if you get into it.

I avoided any press about Gone Home before playing it, so I wasn't even sure what genre of.gsme I was playing. It seemed pretty unlikely that there was a ghost in the house, but I wasn't 100% sure.

I love Harvest Moon right up until it rains and I can't engage in the mindless "pick up rocks, cut weeds" rhythm the beginning of the game establishes. Once I have to role play as a small town farmer, I'm out.

For most of us, the "sexual response" doesn't happen around family members. That's the secret.

Minus the boners is a key term here. It's not the least bit uncommon to have a younger family member who grows up to be attractive, but for most people it's pretty easy to set appropriate physical boundaries, including NOT GETTING AROUSED BY YOUR GODDAMN FAMILY MEMBER. That second letter just gets creepier the more

He didn't say boner, he said "rock hard." Best case scenario, this guy watches too much porn and needs to reconsider his vocabulary.

(maniacal giggling)

From now on the baby sleeps in the crib.
