According to Vulture, she got it from Alex Borstein. This whole exchange has been weirdly MadTV adjacent.

I spent like 10 minutes while writing this trying to come up with a good "animators' wrists" joke, and then I remembered you guys would be down here to pick up the slack.

I think it ended really well. The last season has a lot of work to get through and rushes it by necessity, but I found the ending to be pretty poignant.

This is slightly off from that (and involves an acknowledgement from outside the game itself) but I always really liked the "Irony" achievement in the first Bioshock. You spend a whole level killing people and taking pictures of their bodies for this whack-job. It felt very cool when the game anticipated that I'd want…

I loved the aesthetics, and I think it does something really clever in terms of training players' brains to perceive the world in a very specific way. But it's also one of those games where I started to dread each new puzzle, because there came a point when it felt less like fun and more like work. I think that's by…

Fairly spoilery. That's the danger of writing about puzzle design, sadly.

Just to make everything extra sad, Boner was played by Andrew Koenig (who I knew through his work on Never Not Funny), who took his own life a few years ago. So that's a random bummer to add in.

Yeah, I skipped over "Everyone" because these articles are supposed to focus on the actual albums rather than the films (something I managed with only so-so success, I think), and for whatever reason, it's not on either version that was released. (Ditto the Stones songs in the film, although apparently the Stones…

The trick is to be 16 and, just, amazingly dumb.

I mean, I wrote this a month ago. Maybe it's a word-a-month calendar?

Thanks!

Trust me, I'd much rather you said something than not.

Thanks for that, too. Fixing. I hate making typos in obits.

So it is! My bad. Thanks for pointing it out.

When Marshall died, somebody—I think Vulture—did a really nice piece with Tompkins about his legacy.

R.I.P. Huell Howser.

Double battles feel like such a missed opportunity, because they're potentially so cool. But am I really going to spend a move slot on a doubles-only move, when they come up sooooo rarely in the normal progression?

Huge thanks to everybody who hung out with us over the last month! I'm pretty sure I can speak for Nick when I say it's been a delight to read your comments every week. One of the great things about Pokemon is how individualistic it is, and seeing people trade rosters and come at the game from all sorts of viewpoints…

This is a little old/niche, but I've watched Lie To Me twice all the way through, and it's 90 percent because I dig what Tim Roth is doing. The rest is the premise, but it's a show I would never watch if the star wasn't someone I liked as much as I do.

Yeah, it's a lovely song, but it's a serious bummer.
