Love your post!
Also, remember that in the first HOTD episode, the King explains to his daughter that the power of the Targaryens is that the public believes that they are powerful, powerful enough to control dragons...when actually, they really don’t.
“The idea that we control the dragons is an illusion,” Viserys…

Oh, you’ve been watching Continuum then? :)
The problem really isn’t in generating interest in Kickstarter offerings (not yet anyway). They can raise all the money they want—but can they get the game produced and delivered on time?
I’m still getting Kickstartered games that I backed a year or more ago in the mail...most of them behind schedule, as most…
I’ve never quite understood the assumption that “Brave” is somehow one of the bad ones. I still rank it very highly...always have.
...but it always gets slagged off when people talk about Pixar.
“The Good Dinosaur” I understand...but Brave?
PS—When my son watched this, he picked out a female friend, in case his mom…
Yeah, I was going to say that none of the A/V Clubbers ever liked the switch to Kinja...as they would let everyone new know. :)
(I was on A/V Club pre-Kinja myself...but I don’t really have a problem with Kinja like many others did. I do have a problem with people stupidly shutting down—or making it feel icky to…
After the fantasy food draft on cheese, I went to Brunkow’s website and ordered five—two original, one pizza, one garlic and one cranberry. We just had the pizza one on Tuesday night as a side with Italian Pork Loin. As it was a school night and time was important, we warmed it up in the microwave and cut it into…
A shout out to the Big Chief in Fergus Falls, Minnesota...a 24 diner/gas station that offers some of the best bison burgers in the world. It’s right off the Interstate...and they make it a point to recommend people order them medium rare for best flavor.
On its own, it may not be worth the drive from Seattle…

...in my head I heard it sung to the tune of Echo & the Bunnymen’s “Bedbugs & Ballyhoo.”
It certainly did. (Don’t take my word for it, though.)

When I looked at this article on my phone, all 22 of those ads were for some “invest in a winery” offer.
Now I’m on my laptop...and there’s only one ad left.
Important note to all advertisers (including Farmer’s Insurance): I will read nearly anything Drew Magary writes, no matter where he writes it. If you want my…
...not disappointed with the writers, to be sure.
Disappointed that something that was wonderful is being compromised right in front of us...certainly.

Damn the Man! Save the Empire!
I had always wondered why “Don’t You Want Me” by Felix, which I had been playing as a nightclub dj since ‘92, came back a few years later in slight remix...
It got Tango’d!
I remember when Black Currant Tango was the new hotness.
(so old...old...old...)
The Baldwin A&W is nice—they’ve got sit down table service, if you want it...a walk up “take out” window...and a drive-thru—they couldn’t make it any more convenient to eat there. And the food is on the better side of your fast food expectations.
It’s almost like a Canadian A&W.
And a far cry from the Pacific Northwest …
I spent a LOT of time on Water Street in my years there—but it’s all different now. There was a record store there, Union Records, related to Truckers Union but across the street, that was the center of the local music scene. Across the street was a Rocky Rococo’s pizza that I’d go to a lot. There was an Erberts &…
Why do I go to Texas Roadhouse when I’m in Eau Claire?
Because there’s one near the highway—and I’m usually just driving past Eau Claire on my way from where my dad still lives, in Central Wisconsin, back towards Seattle where I live (either driving all the way home or flying out of MSP.)
...and because there are no…
