Glad I could help, CM.

I initially pitched its quieter cousin "In Winters There Is A Genius," but I do think the Undertale track—which, like most things in that game, has strong Earthbound influences—captures that same sleepy, snowy feeling.

I'm probably responsible for 90% of the instances of that word on this site, and you're never going to convince me to back down. It's in Merriam-Webster, and it's never going away.

Infection. Reportedly, she'd struggled with kidney issues for most of her life.

He's doing a 50-state bus tour! Tell your folks!

We didn't cover the trailer for Where To Invade Next for some reason, but I watched it while I was writing this, and boy howdy does it lean hard on "Michael Moore being wacky."

The thing that I enjoy about this is that I'm only, like, halfway sure you're not making these up. And I refuse to go check.

Working on it right now. There's only one of me!

The villain drains the youth out of kids, but he's not a traditional vampire. He thinks the connection is funny, though, which is why he has the license plate.

I can own up to those two lines being defensive in nature - an attempt, perhaps, to protect myself from people rolling their eyes at a video game serving up big moral truths.

Case in point: My roommate co-hosts an indie games podcast, and I've gotten to watch in real-time as his mild antipathy for the game has been transformed into outright loathing by a cadre of fans who can't accept that he just doesn't like it very much.

Art should make you feel things! But when a game attempts to equate it's in-game morality with the actual player's sense of self-as Undertale does all the time on No Mercy, implying and calling out the player as a murderous sociopath for their actions-I think it's important to take a step back and remember that…

It threatens to eclipse Homestuck as the thing I really like whose avid fans have made it most difficult to actively enjoy.

I definitely agree, but I think there's a happy medium in between "Welcome to Fallout 4, here's your Power Armor and Minigun, go shoot a deathclaw," and "please give us 20 hours to unlock one of our game's most-hyped features." (I also think that even the "not fun" stuff should be pretty fun to do, which is where…

Which is a nice option, but the problem is that, even if you're not sticking characters in the many, many bathing suits the game gives you, all of the female armor—especially for Elma, the female lead—is ridiculously skin tight. It's that classic thing where, if you stick combat gear on a male character, it looks like…

Aw, crap, my secret identity!

*sigh* Embarrassing. Thanks for pointing it out.

I almost prefaced this with, essentially, "Hey, let's get back to something stupid."

I feel like, if you're just looking for random sex, "I'm the guy from Weezer" is a pretty good way to get it.

Is it weird that I'm kind of disappointed in how much clutter there is? C'mon, ancient Egyptians. You know company's coming over (in several thousand years)!
