Not that this makes it any better of an idea, but...that’s pretty much how the novel ended. More because of a foreshadowed failure in the protagonist’s bomb-making (“Paraffin has never, ever worked for me”) than the brilliance of the authorities, but nothing blows up and the narrator ends up in an asylum.

Wait...British show, one season, *30* episodes? That’s like four seasons of a typical BBC run.

Yeah, articles like this have a place on Kotaku, just not as *reviews*. 

One would assume the writers at “The Takeout” wouldn’t be too good for fast food, but they all seem to resent the fact that they’re not working on a generic foodie blog.

*Really* interested in the mechanical effects in-game. Slavery in reality wasn’t just evil, it was counterproductive - it tanks worker productivity, discourages innovation (why make a more efficient process, when you can just throw more slaves at the problem?), and pits free workers against slave labor. And that’s…

Perhaps the subject of this song:

And if the theatrical experience really *does* elevate your boring-on-TV movie, you get Avatar - a movie that smashed box office records but made practically no mark on pop culture

...you do know Rodgers is estranged from his entire immediate family, right? Doesn’t mean he’s evil, but I’m sure they’ll be happy to provide an *endless* amount of drama if his name gets seriously floated.

THIS. Let’s be clear - Mike Richards didn’t lose this job because he did bad shit, he lost this job because *never should have given it to himself in the first place*, and his bad behavior was the excuse to boot him. Now, unfortunately, it means whoever follows as host will get their entire past scoured to soothe his…

The thing that gets me about UK vs. US candy is...they’re just not that different. Sure, they use more marzipan and we use more peanut butter, but unless you’re looking for specific flavors that are unavailable domestically I just can’t see paying double.

The whole Bachman persona was something King’s publisher wanted, because he was finishing books faster than the market could absorb them. I don’t think this was a fear of Supercell putting out too many games - it’s more like a famous standup comedian showing up at open mics unannounced to workshop new material.

And if you’re going to sell your bougie-asshole-bait *anyway*, price it so you make money on it rather than affording folks a chance to try it “ironically”.

I maintain that Pearl Jam will forever exist in the shadow of Nirvana simply because Eddie Vedder handled his aversion to fame *worlds* better than Kurt Cobain did.  Kurt recorded an album-length “Fuck You” to his fans, and when that didn’t drive them off, killed himself.  Eddie stopped making music videos, got in a…

Thank you. A singer launched by a well-coordinated media blitz before she can drive *a moped* is in a wildly different category than a band as reflexively antagonistic as Nirvana.

And Kurt absolutely wanted to be a professional musician (and was far more aggressive pursuing that than I thought), but he did *not*…

Also seems a bit weird to compare a depressive burnout who stumbled into superstardom with a hyper-connected child of immense privilege. Kurt was never interested in being relatable, Billie never *was* relatable in the first place.

Regarding Culver’s employees, it’s the only fast food place where I tend to see a wide spread of ages behind the counter.

Finding a way to make something as noxious as banana peels edible is precisely the kind of thing peasant cooks tend to figure out with centuries of effort.

The fact that they have *not* should tell us something about just how inedible they are.

I remember launch day for Burning Crusade in 2007. Struggling to tag any mobs before the other 20 players on the same quest did. Everybody wearing that ridiculous banana-yellow cape. That one chunk of Khorium in Hellfire Peninsula that literally nobody on the server was capable of mining.

I’m...not in a hurry to…

*I’d* certainly be interested, but I don’t think there’s any force on heaven or earth that could get American foodies interested in McDonald’s.

He didn’t steal it. They had a batch come out unflavored and, rather than just pitch them, handed them off to employees and encouraged them to try their hand at seasoning it.
