Stop copying out of my notebook of jokes my editor won't let me put in Newswires!

Now I'm imagining how upsetting it would be if he'd just wandered in there at random. It'd be like someone made a T.G.I.Friday's and stuck all the stuff from your childhood bedroom on the walls.

Technically, they did cover it. Still, the caption has been updated to a similarly stupid joke. Thanks for pointing it out.

"…Back to Chicago; it's never dull out there. You never know exactly what kind of terrible shit is going to come down on you in that town, but you can always count on *something*. Every time I go to Chicago I come away with scars.”

It was that or Aaron Carter. Getty is surprisingly light on pictures of him with Backstreet or N'Sync.

I don't think this is a popular pick, but I'm a huge fan of The Sopranos. I'm not even sure why, I just find its flow to be really fun without being too easy.

I've been to Vegas once and hated it, but the Pinball Museum (it's way off the strip, so you'll have to cab it) is AMAZING. Tons of old machines, plus a bunch of other novelty arcade stuff.

I always remember watching that one time, and the episode was about how operating a restaurant is a lot harder than it looks. There was literally nothing that couldn't have been done in live action. It was a very strange show.

GOG's version of Riven runs perfectly well on my system.

Dumb, random fact: My personal meditation technique is to run the Towers Of Hanoi in my head, with increasingly large numbers of discs every time I finish it. Very relaxing.

For reference, I played it on a PC with a 3.20 GHz processor, 8 GB of RAM, and a Geforce GTX 750 Ti, and, other than the load times I mention in the review, it ran pretty smoothly. (I had to spend a little time tinkering with settings at the start, though.)

You MIGHT be able to comfortably play it in "Point And Click" mode. Instead of walking around freely, you click on nodes in the world to move from spot to spot. (You still freely look around with the miuse, though.)

It is.

Harsh but fair.

I was 16, and my friends and I would drive around listening to "Kryptonite," "Loser," and Papa Roach on repeat. (We also called ourselves The Loser Friends.) Those aren't, like, GOOD memories, but I have a bunch of them, and it feels very weird to know that one of the guys who wrote those songs is dead.

If we're talking about the album art, this is really more of some Parasite Eve stuff, I think.

This is on me. I fucked this one up. FIXING.

Look, I don't know how many times I have to say this: Manny Bothans died to secure the SECOND Death Star plans, not the first, which is what this movie is about.

That's a totally fair point. My metric when writing heads is, "Would I know this person by name?" For Zhang, he's the "Hero director," not a recognizable name on his own. There are all sorts of cultural assumptions underpinning that recognition that I'll now probably be chewing on all day. Thanks for pointing it out.

The Leto shot is absolutely cheap—sometimes I gotta do things for me, you know?—but the notion that Birbiglia—a stand-up who regularly sells out stadiums and has parlayed his success into directing and a ton of acting work—isn't notable is pretty odd to me.
