Mr. Lee, how very nice to see you here.

Have you played Tearaway yet? It really is a beautiful thing.

That's pretty powerful, because that's my weakness, but I've also got a whole bunch more.

I guess scouting your home office to find fifty (50) pieces of documentation necessary to verify your psychiatrist is within your health care provider network isn't as compelling a set piece as lighting a guy's face on fire.

Viggo Mortensen as Doctor Strange is the only superhero casting I've ever wanted with all my heart.
It will never happen, but lord, it would be beautiful.

My great, great grandparents left Poland because they were forced to labor in the bosom rendering fields for little more than a handful of moldering pierogi.
To see the president honor the game that left my ancestors with poor eyesight from under-lit Cintiq displays and lower-back pain from sitting at non-Aeron chairs

That is a fine deal, but right now the only way I'll be getting a WiiU is as repayment from a tree spirit for the kindness of not chopping down it's tree home as I go to find fuel for peasant family.

The upside to having a reputation for being slight with praise for AAA games, is when you unequivocally endorse something, it feels very sincere and kind of thrilling.
It's an infectious enthusiasm. You're like the first kid to hear the faint chimes of an incoming ice cream truck and I want to follow you as you run to

Almost nobody except for the straw man foil for Hank Hill on an episode of King of the Hill or a dad from an Onion article treats their kids solely as a method of reinforcing their own pop-culture preferences.
Our four year old listens to a lot of the music my wife and I like, but it's not because we're denying her kid

I dunno. A hundred extra dollars seems a reasonable amount to spend given the time it saves me on snapping pictures of myself playing games and attaching them to emails describing to Microsoft what brand of corn chip I'm currently eating.

The suit is really attempting the closest possible approximation of the Dark Knight Returns costume. Not just the stubbier ears and massive, blunted bat-symbol, but a close-up shows that the costume has this sort of textural application to make it closely resemble the style with which Miller drew fabric bunching at

Either Teti's jacket is actually producing a physical force pushing Nelson away from him or the A.V. Club is listing port.

I'm infuriated by the cover completely disproportionate with my current non-involvement in Batman.
This is a quick sketch of Gordon's pose from a three quarter angle. It's the a preposterous, rubber-limbed goofiness worthy of the worst of the 90's covers.

I just didn't think it was fair that B. Dalton's should have the monopoly on all that enriching game information and we had to go without.
I considered myself something of a Robin Hood, who was an 8th level rogue and 5th level ranger according to the Heroes & Folklore supplement I stole.

I spent almost my entire freshman year of high school in an intense shoplifting phase. Stealing hundreds and hundreds of dollars worth of what was almost all exclusively Dungeons and Dragons books.
I managed to take something even as straight-forward rebellious and fraught as stealing and make it dorky.

I watched Captain 11 as a kid. I had no idea it ran all the way to 1996, the first year I was neglecting college. Did any kid ever successfully open that treasure chest? Maybe it still sits there today, locked and filled with whatever bounty of toys was first placed inside in 1955. War bonds, a tin of beets. Pomade.

Jen Zee's art is so gorgeous it has the simultaneous effect of being uplifting and energizing while making me feel defeated and a fool for trying to draw.
Looking forward to the game!

The Sumerians gave the Abrahamic reboot poor reviews when it came out as well.
"Didn't even mention Ba'al. Two out of five ziggurats."

I did, but I just used it for reference for the Photoshop.
