Different strokes and all that. My friends and I put hundreds of hours into the first two.

Because this new one has a new story, locations, and new characters?

Here’s the thing: all of the so-called improvements in modern shooters have, for me, been big drawbacks. I don’t want to grind gear for some endgame or PVP. I don’t want to run around the world with dozens, or hundreds, or thousands of other players. I don’t want to be killed by the member of some other faction while…

Boy, I made an ass out of myself because this showed up in the links on the left hand side of the page on io9 and I didn’t realize that it was almost 10 years old. That’s fairly annoying.

As I remember, he came from the Marvel UK offices, so he appeared in some of their books but then also moved over to the main Marvel U at some point, appearing in some Fantastic 4 stuff.

Literally the only things I know about Death’s Head come from Marvel collectible trading cards from the 90s and an issue of What If which dealt with what would have happened if Death’s Head 2 had failed to kill Death’s Head 1. Basically, the entire Fantastic 4 and a bunch of Avengers died. It was such a colossal…

But is collecting $200 after passing Go a thing?

The first season was thoroughly ok. I mean, it wasn’t as good as The Hunt for Red October or Patriot Games, but it was probably as good as A Clear and Present Danger. I watched the season when my wife was out of town on a business trip, and it served the purpose of “thing that I’m interested in, but probably isn’t so…

I would much rather have two nights of debating with 5 people on stage each night and hopefully have the debates either cover more topics or dive deeper into the specifics. With 10 candidates on stage it just becomes an attempt to give everyone 10 seconds to remind people that they’re still running. 

If this was discussed and I missed it, but I didn’t see a mention of the fact that there’s simply more entertainment on offer than ever. People can listen to podcasts, play video games, watch competitive video game competitions, watch a million streaming services filled with pretty good to great content, etc. It’s…

I appreciate this idea, but it’s also pretty regressive. I’m all for finding creative ways to reduce the number of guns in society, but I’m wary of making it so that only relatively well-off people can own guns.

I have two, one that was my fault, and one that wasn’t. The first was in college, as I’m sure many people’s are. I, already drunk, remembered that at some point I had had a buttered rum, and that it was a very tasty beverage indeed. So I got out a pot, and melted some butter, and mixed in some milk and then a bunch of…

I’m a big fan of watching their stuff on YouTube.

One of my favorite bits of trivia is that when Dare to Be Stupid was released one of the guys from Devo commented that it was the sound that they had been trying to get for their entire career, and Al got it in one song.

I’m no expert, or even really a big fan of the medium, but “anime-quality writing” doesn’t seem like it has any content. I’ve seen some anime with good writing, and quite a bit more with not great writing. And the description of the story makes it sound, to me, like it’s more the latter than the former.

I don’t think that I’ve watched American Beauty since 1999, but if I remember the plot correctly, Spacey’s character blackmail’s his male boss with threats of a fake sexual harassment claim, which is both a gross example of gay panic and also a gross flip on the problem of sexual harassment in the workplace, which, if…

The thing that I love about this is how it took outside information to realize that this already shitty scene was even extra shittier.

Ugh, dude. I’m turning 40 next month and have never had any significant issues with my teeth. Now you’ve likely given me some nightmare fuel, as if I needed more.

Man, Looking Glass was such a great studio. Looking over their games catalog looks an awful lot like a list of “What I Was Doing In The 90s (Instead Of Kissing People)”.

I’ve never understood people that threw their controllers.
