I’m N64 aged, so I played a lot of weird games for the console. A few I’d love to see:

I’m just gonna leave this here...

It’s important to keep the pressure up! Sure Gamestop will cease tracking and pressuring these particular statistics, and this looks like a PR win, but practices like the Circle of Life are at the core of how they do business. (Speaking as a former employee here). We need to make sure that every time they pull

The Victoria one always gets me. She turns her back on you, but then glances back, unable to resist checking out your reaction. It’s awesome.

Hard same, Ashley, thank you for your words of comfort and rage. We Jews need to use our media jobs loud and proud. I think we’re pretty good at spotting a Fascist uprising.

I’ve been quoting that Martin Niemoller “First They Came For the Socialists” poem all week, but part of me was convinced on a level that we had at least moved passed a Nazi threat. I guess I should have listened to myself.

32 civs? There are only like, 20 in the base game. Did they try duplicates?

Can I just say that I’ve been thinking about and discussing your stories all day. I think it shows a great contrast of REAL examples (and not cartoonish hypothetical ones, or unlikely but rhetorically interesting ones) of how safe spaces and trigger warnings ALREADY EXIST in that a discerning teacher makes these sorts

I’m not sure what part of my thoughts you are addressing , but to reiterate: I think the conversation surrounding triggers and safe spaces has gotten really far afield from the reality and while I agree with your point rhetorically, it is a response to a problem that just doesn’t exist. The same students who are using

While I’ve had anecdotally different experiences with my students (who are high schoolers, and who have never abused safe space privileges in my classroom) I think all of your points are good, but that’s what makes me feel so crazy.

The local chapter of the NRA has begun market testing some possible new slogans. These include:

The kid I used to babysit for- he’s about to turn 18 now- went with me to see the new X-Men movie. He told me he always gets scared when the door opens in the middle of the movie, because for a moment he’s worried it’s going to be a shooter.

Beautiful points all the way down. I think it is very important to distinguish the people who have a strong ideological stance, even the ones you may disagree with from assholes, who don’t really have a stance.

I love the first Injustice, but I have two beefs with the roster (that this is already looking good to correct).

The first is, there are obviously too many Batman Rogues. It would have been nice if everyone got at least one corresponding villain. No Flash Rogues broke my heart.

So, an interesting thing about Apocalypse the comics character, is that a lot of his powers have nothing to do with being a mutant.

Jason, this was really nice. You managed to capture my feelings and experience (I came into the series in 2003, bought every card game, board game, RPG manual and calendar I could find) but without the bitterness I would probably have injected into the story.

Your friendly reminder that Mr. Craig Mazin is the genius behind such films as Scary Movie 3and 4 (but not 1 or 2) and the Hangover 2 and 3 (but not one). He also wrote the screenplay to upcoming cinematic gem Huntsman: Winter’s War.

Evan, I’ve been loving your recent comic-related articles! Some of your stuff has been better than the articles you get on dedicated comic sites. I know I would love to see, as a follow up to this piece, a list of the top times Bats and Supes have teamed up, or worked together.

(Also, I’m not the world’s biggest Hush

Sure, sure, I hear all that. T’Challa is my number one favorite Avenger, bar none.

I’m just saying this page did exist and thus is in continuity and I would rather see a writer use that line as an opportunity to tell good Black Panther stories than watch it get swept under the rug because There Is Only Secret Wars.

And

Maybe I missed an issue then. This is how I remember it going down:
