Tonight was the second time I've listened to Lonely Island on Fresh Air and I always love it. It's almost like the three boys coming to visit their bubele. Last time they were on she actually asked them if they were nice to their mothers. You can just imagine the three of them scuffing their shoes agaisnt the carpet…

I don't know why you think the hobbies are mutually exclusive.

Thank you!

Thanks, I appreciate that!

Thanks! A pretty common gig I had when freelancing was helping with advertising storyboards. Commonly another illustrator would do the pencils and I was responsible for the tone or colors. It surprised me how enjoyable it is to color someone else's work. It's significantly less stressful than when you're responsible…

What's more, I'm hiding subversive, pro-union and pro-labor messages in my reviews, understanding that they're too base for the moneyed intelligentsia to read.
Don't be surprised if the very website you used to love will one day become an instrumental tool in worker advocacy upsetting your sweatshop practices.

The lack of any Metroid handheld after Hunters still bums me out. As you say, it's not a great game, and extended play threatens to permanently cripple your hands into Lovecraftian crinkle-fingers, but it was a committed attempt to try something different with the system. Aesthetically, at least, I like how they took…

This piece is gorgeous. I love the art style, the colors and the composition.

This is a great assessment.

It's good for pretending to pet tiny dogs and that's about it.

I failed to mention it in the review, but the score is fantastic.

Only extra screen real estate. The stylus and second screen of the 3DS would work well, too. I don't know what the business decision is behind the (for now) Vita exclusivity other than Drinkbox has a pretty close working relationship with Sony.

Well said. Guacamelee's humor didn't resonate with me, either. The visual wit was fantastic, but elements like the characters all named after Americanized Mexican foods felt too much like the wise-asses in Spanish class who gave themselves the class name of 'Taco' to be irreverent.
I'm impressed by Severed's tone. It's…

So I understand making a game for the Vita is the equivalent of filming a movie in infrared; you've instantly reduced your audience to functionally zero -except for the occasional Predator. But Severed really reminds me of how great a system the Vita is. Merging conventional controls with a touch screen can seem like…

This must be a common thing, because I reliably play the role of unfeeling dickhead in my wife's dreams. Whether it's painting our floors lime-green or having an affair in our bed, my subconscious avatar always responds to her incredulity and upset with total dismissal. Sleep me is a real bastard.

Arigato!

The thing is, it has to be Cruz and it has to be a Simpson's character. If you look over the history of depicted-as-themselves guest stars on the show, it's almost entirely through context clues you know who they are. The Matt Groening template is not particularly generous for celebrity caricature. And if the…

I'm actually pretty happy with how it came together. But I understand if you feel I wasn't able to capture his ineffable sad clown face. I just ask that you take pity and lie to me because I had to study photos of the guy for a looooong time.

Justice League: War showed up on Netflix recently so I thought I'd put it on. It started off a bit bumpy, but y'know, give it time. The Green Lantern is hunting some hooded creature. On the reveal that it's some gigantic, insane-looking Jack Kirby-esque space monster in power armor, it's immediately tackled by a…

People seem to hate Fable 2 nearly as much as 3, but I think Fable 2 is fantastic. Not flawless, by any means. But charming and strange and unique.
