Show me his copy of Flex Mentallo, then we can talk.

You seem like a single-issue oater.

You can tell I'm a Grant Morrison dork because I stylized Mother Box as one word. (Left out the extra two x's, at least.)

You're absolutely correct. It's been fixed. (To be clear, he WAS a founding member of its board, but calling him a founder is probably a little unclear.)

I was VERY excited when I saw that shot of Ulrich on Getty.

The goal of an obituary is to capture, in some small sense, what made a person special to the people who admired them and cared about their work. So yeah, I do in fact write the same "kind of stuff" for Spitz—a writer who shaped an era of music in a lot of people's minds—the same way I would someone more famous. He

Thank you for the correction and the cool interview.

I definitely don't think Maher is on par with Milo, a legitimately bad person. But he has built an entire career out of courting controversy, and saying the most galvanizing opinions he can out of an effort to shock people or provoke disagreement. If this was 1912, I'd have called him a gadfly instead, but, alas, it's

That's a great point about Hellboy. Everyone I've ever talked to about the movies just assumes that Bruttenholm must be some major figure in the comics, solely on the strength of how powerful a figure Hurt is in the film.

It's quite possible that playing through the level a second time for this write-up robbed it of some of it power for me. For me, the ability to remove enemies—relatively easily—and the fact that you essentially waltz through the camp and the factory without any opposition totally robbed those sections of horror. I

Thank you for pointing out the mistake, fixing it now.

He's good in it, too! The little finger-wiggle when he's nervous is the best.

You're not alone!

Clearly, you've never been to the "bonus round" afterparty at a high-stakes Monopoly tournament.

I do stuff on my birthday, not because I like the attention, but because I like having both the self-prod to organize something big, and the slight social pressure to get my friends to do it with me. 364 days out of the year, I'm not the guy thinking through a 30-person laser tag game or a big group dinner. It's a

True to my word: I started You're The Worst this evening. So far, I really like it, but I can sense the edges of the darker stuff that I've read starts creeping out.

I love the wee baby AJ as much as the next guy, but I can't handle another season of Archer and Lana bickering about her/everything.

Taking off my Newswire writer hat for a second, and picking up my Archer reviewer one, I'm incredibly excited by this. Archer's primary strength (besides the humor, which has been more-or-less constant) is its characters, not its plots. Tossing aside the baggage without losing Pam or Cyril or Lana seems like the

It's just a treatment, not a script, so my assumption is that it's something like "Cady has a daughter and now she's a Mean Girl, too," but that might be needlessly cynical of me.

Don't apologize! I'm just happy someone noticed I left that in there.
