They need stronger dykes. I kid, I kid

Are people gonna do it anyway and Marvel will get the sub-50 million it needs for its box office crown (or really, it’s a gauntlet, surely)? Absolutely.

You seem cool.

It’s public because he’s struggling and lives a semi-public life. Suffering openly isn’t a weakness and it doesn’t mean he’s acting/being dramatic.

Unions are the only way for the working class to ensure humane working conditions. That’s all there is to it.

Maybe try re-reading what I said. Not surprising that someone like you would be lacking in reading comprehension though. 

This episode is my crack cocaine. Sierra online is easily the company I have the most nostalgia for. As a kid I would save up money and once I had enough my mom would call the number to order the game since there wasn’t a local retail store. I can remember playing outside at a neighbors and seeing the DHL truck drive…

I wouldn’t say your mom is fair, but she is definitely game.

When the first Sims came out, I don’t remember there being any gender-based stigma around it.

This is exactly correct. There is absolutely ZERO proof she could have provided that would have been an acceptable enough for them. Her great mistake was thinking sexist gamers could be reasoned with or talked down with evidence.

The only winning move is to never play their “prove it!/Debate me!” game.  block them,…

Fuck that ref. That’s point one. But also, fuck Andrew Johnson’s team, coach, and school for not showing up for him. If he’s expected to sacrifice his time, youth, and energy for a sports team and their collective victories, those motherfuckers could have stuck up for him. All the weekends, afternoons, evenings,…

I absolutely love Cosmic Encounter. It’s been around for ages and is infinitely replayable with experienced and inexperienced board gamers alike. With that said, the game that I have the most fun with in any setting is Monikers. It’s simple to teach, easy to play and absolutely hilarious every single time we play it.…

This is literally a Dave Chappelle bit. What the fuck.

Thank god ICE is here to protect us from nerd artists.  They might have drawn a sword on someone.

too bad you don’t really need any of that for big modern games, there’s always a minimap, a quest marker or something flashing on the screen, mapping a dungeon floor for me was part of the fun and game experience itself

It’s funny because I fully remember my first impressions of the game as a college freshman in 1987 at a time when it wasn’t exactly an established genre. For all I knew it’d be like SMB with stages and whatnot, so I turned it on and moved right and killed some enemies. And after several minutes of that, it felt like…

I get why you’d think that, but books have way more leeway to digress, elaborate, and dive into characters’ thoughts. Most books are way more verbose than a GM should be. (Except maybe Hemingway, but that’s a pretty high bar to reach when you’re narrating on the fly.)

Kotaku should do a “12 Best Board Games for your Collection” like they do for all the consoles.

Great game, good explainer.

Plus some people see racism/sexism/homophobia as a zero-sum condition; you’re either a total monster or you’re not. It’s a “homophobia is bad, but I’m good, therefore what I said was not homophobic” line of thinking. In reality it’s a process of always failing, accepting when you are wrong, and trying to do/be better.
