I nominate Ted Cruz.

In interviews, Gilliam says kids just loved the ending. There was, not surprisingly, a lot of push back from adults and pressure to change it, but the response from children was so positive in early screenings it was left in.
Gilliam says it was vindication for kids who feel their parents never listen to them.

Goddammit. Every single time I fly, I say, "today I'm finally going to get the 7' Anubis garden statue!" And every time I don't, I think, "Well, no problem. It's not like Skymall is going anywhere!"

It is true that the great plains Indian steel-bladed arms-having werewolf ancestral myth is woefully under-explored in video games.

Werewolf: The Last Warrior's biggest game crime was switching the a and b functionality of the NES controller.
a jumps. b attacks. It is and has ever been so since the time of your grandfather's grandfather. Flipping that around serves no purpose other than confounding the player.
Being too-difficult and carelessly…

Sure, as an adult with a modicum of sense and critical thinking skills it's completely understandable. As a kid with neither living in the the nation and era that spawned 'Snickers Pie' it's a pretty hard sell.

It was a natural foods co-op. There was never a shortage of hapless co-workers singing without being commanded.

Many years ago I was having a really shitty day at the co-op where I was working. I specifically got roast chicken and cherry tomatoes for lunch so I could sit in the break room and glower and hate the world just like Denethor.

This is true.

You can only raise up the Turkish Delight by bringing down the wedding cake? A sad day for dessert parity.

Neat! I love how the name of the company making Aplets & Cotlets is Liberty Orchards. They're not fucking around with the Americanization of the venture.

The few times I read The Lion, The Witch and Wardrobe as a kid I remember my mind going crazy trying to fathom what a wonderful, peerless dessert Turkish Delight could possibly be to make this kid betray an entire kingdom. The book was skint on details and I would actually salivate, mentally constructing this rich,…

My distaste for being a dick to fake people is only slightly greater than my distaste for having fake people upset with me.
So I always go the ludicrously good option in games, even if I still get anxious and cringe when one of my zestier team mates gives me a poorly rendered stink eye for not being more of an asshole.

Yeah, I try not to get too bent about it since internet lists are utterly subjective in direct proportion to how they're treated as fact.
Some extra-planar creature has devised an engine of conquest that runs on humanity's belligerent incredulity and created the internet to bring it to full power with astonishing speed.

I'm so completely down with "The Devils' Hands". It really is everything best about Futurama in one episode. While I'm glad the show was resurrected, It did come at the cost of this being the best series finale ever.

Well, shit, man. This was just great.

You can try and do karaoke with 'em
on the 22nd. You might not get to hear all the tracks you like, but you'll get a chance to sing along to "Summer Nights" from the Grease Soundtrack!

I always figured story was to open-world games what single-player is to FPS's. A grudging obligation.
There isn't a single thing in Skyrim's story that rises above 'adequate' and certainly nothing that compares with noodling around only to stop short and marvel at some unanticipated vista or view.
My father's favorite…

Marlo was just such a frightening and serpentine counterpart to Avon. Sure, Avon did terrible things as a matter of course, but the show invested a lot of effort to show his involvement with his family and community. He was an evil fucker, but his life was shaped in a way viewers could understand and relate to.
