Well, it is a universal truth that you can never have enough carnitas in your life, so you got me there.

Corpse Run was effective advertising - I just added a sous-vide thingy to my Cyber Monday purchase list, despite knowing, in my heart, that I will maybe use it once, maybe twice a year at most, and that it will spend 99% of its time in The Cabinet of Forgotten Trendy Cooking Tools, alongside the Foreman Grill, the…

*Nobody* looks cool in VR from the outside, ever. It’s against the laws of nature. If you ever see someone looking cool while playing a VR game, congratulations, you’ve just successfully found a demon masquerading in human skin: now, quickly, call the Vatican, and get them to send their top exorcists before it gets…

Well, I know what I would like it to be, which is essentially the original game, but with all-new art assets, character models, combat animations, etc, mostly- if not fully-voiced, with dual-audio and a full surround track. I’d happily settle for Bravely Default: Final Fantasy VII version.

Well, they could always reboot its development (again) - I’m not sure that’s really been beneficial for any Final Fantasy game, but I also haven’t liked the sound of *any* of the changes from the original that they’ve talked about so far... It’d sort of be like rerolling when all the dice show a 1; it’s definitely not…

This is one of the reasons I have charging docks for all my console controllers - with the dock cables all plugged into a power strip screwed in behind the drawers, which in turn is plugged into the wall behind the drawers, there are zero exposed cables for kitties to play with.

I had to double-check that this actually came with the Xbox, since I’m old and my memory is about as reliable as a 5-year-old’s crayon memos, but look!

Maybe I’m just extra-special, or maybe it was a launch-edition exclusive, but my Xbox One came with this thing:

I think you grossly underestimate the cost of US healthcare - most hospitals charge upwards of $1k for a simple bag of saline, and my last 3-day stay had a total of over $35k. Yes, insurance paid most of that, but guess who pays for insurance? Remember, it’s a for-profit industry.

I take it you live in a blue state?

You’re completely right, the candies are actually a completely normal cocktail of high-fructose corn syrup, growth hormones, steroids and artificial flavoring.

This reminds me of that Jet Li movie, ‘The One’ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_One_%282001_film%29), except with less kung-fu and more cannibalism.

So, I’m not exactly up on Amiibo pricing, but am I correct in assuming this will cost well over $500, and probably closer to ¥100,000 in Japan?

I have to live outside of a 25-mile radius of any Carl's Jr, because any closer and I would just eat until I died.

Have you ever heard of The Luther:

This sounds like a great Sharknado spin-off. I’m picturing something like ‘The Bionic Woman’, except built specifically to combat the airborne shark menace through precision headbutting. Her nemesis would be Stanley, the evil Soviet cyborg hammerhead shark who, thanks to the adamantium hammer embedded in his skull, is…

You just know that if this game somehow really really off, these cards will end up being worth ridiculous sums of money; of course, that's a big "if", but...

Robots, terminals and dead people need your help, too.

The “Ultimate Evolution” will have 11 onion rings and 14 strips of bacon on top, and enough calories to take you from 6-pack to full keg in a single sitting.

... Fair point 🤔
