Do you remember Archmage of the Aether?

I just heard about this and had to come over to see for myself...to make it real in my own mind. I haven’t been here much since the Kinjaning, but when I did come back, it was your author page I had bookmarked, not the AV Club homepage (anymore). So you see, you have a history of getting me to do things I otherwise…

That family was cold! It was your table, which you graciously let them share with you, and they return the favour by freezing you out at the earliest opportunity? Assholes!

My hot roast beef sandwich was gross, they let the gravy congeal!

I prefer Let’s Make A Deal.

Hmm, I don’t know...I can see the appeal.

Well, your original comment was genius and as the above commenter proved, you were definitely misunderstood. But where, I ask, was all the excitability? I give you a 66% comment/username synergy and mourn the days when everyone would have gotten the joke.

Disappointed (but not surprised) that there was no *BONG* comment on this article. Ah, the good ol’ days.

I read this whole thing just to see if they would mention Super Nintendo Chalmers (the commenter) but got nothing. Not that I’m really surprised seeing as how they’ve shown us just how much they respect the long time Disqus commenting community.

That whole last paragraph was fantastic, but most especially: “the Navy appears to be handling this big penis itself”. Yeah, I bet they are, I bet. They. Are.

Going up to the penis in the sky.

First, Keith Urban just sang this, he didn’t write it. The writer is Ross Copperman and is credited in the article. Second, I grew up listening to country music. I have family members who make a living playing country music. I would still consider myself a fan of country music even though I’ve since branched out.…

Like Elrond said, these examples are just demeaning all on their own, no matter what word you use. The phenomenon the article is talking about is when the sentence would be inoffensive if you used woman/women, but it becomes something else when you use female. Things like “How am I supposed to talk to/approach…

The uses of the word you describe are the correct uses of the word (where we would also use male for the men, and mostly as an adjective.) But there are a lot of instances out there of guys using it in a very weird and offensive manner. They substitute it for when you would usually use woman or women (or man or men…

The day O’Neal tries to give me just the facts without any of his fashionable cynicism and/or snarky opinion is the day I stop reading O’Neal...and start worrying if everything is alright with him. So you just keep on gifting your readers with that patented O’Neal snarkasm. (Snarcasm? I can never remember the correct…

Are you talking about “The Time Travellers” episode? I remember calling my sister (who also watched the show) after that aired and telling her I was “scared” that the mother was going to have died when we got to the end and that’s why he was telling the kids this story, after the funeral or something. (I was soooo…

As a 42-year old single woman, I may or may not have related to certain paragraphs in this article. Not that anyone cares what I have to offer in this, or any, situation. And since this comment is coming 5 days after the article was posted, it will languish, unseen and unloved, I mean, un-upvoted, at the bottom of the…

Seems like as good a comment to plug this new site as any. Barring any serious issues in the slow roll-out next week, the site will be live Nov. 4th. Come check it out!

That was my first thought too!

Yeah, our stupid Canadian media monopoly seems hellbent on keeping everyone tied to cable forever, one way or another, instead of trying to move to cash in on the rush to streaming alternatives. Showme sucked, Crave sucks, the only half-decent option here is Netflix and even that is weak compared to the US. (Though it…
