Agreed! Both of the Deus Ex games of the past decade were excellent. I could never figure out why I had such a hard time “selling” them to my friends. Great stories and characters and they accomplish open ended gameplay styles better than most games out there, certainly better than their peers at the time. 

I feel your pain! I was in the same boat. The one escape I had from this was that, in my mid-90s middle school existence, I somehow got a hold of a copy of a demo of a shareware Mac rpg called Realmz. It introduced me to all those D&D concepts. Not sure how my parents never caught on, since I spent hours on the demo…

Glad to see X-Men Evolution getting some love. I always thought it was criminally underrated and overlooked. I discovered the show my freshman year of college and binged the whole thing in a weekend. 

10 points (and my star) for the Jukt Micronics gag.
100 points of nostalgia for hearing someone talk about Marathon and Escape Velocity, both of which blew my mind back in the 90s.  

I think anyone who has been a parent can sympathize. A lot of things that used to annoy me about kids and parenting changed once I had my own children and I realized how unfair it is to judge sometimes. That isn’t to say that there are some really terrible/inconsiderate parents out there, but I think that even the…

I have mixed feelings about the shoes thing. One long flights, especially red eyes, I think it should be expected. But I think that if you know that you are the kind of person who takes off his shoes, then you should bring some slippers or something. That’s what I do. It’s more comfortable anyway. Those long flights…

I misread that quote as “After squeezing one out...” 

What airline are you flying? I travel internationally all the time and rarely do I see those kind of amenities anymore. 

Are you taking short shuttle flights? Maybe those planes don’t have them. But I’ve never had a problem finding changing tables in airplanes, though most flights I do with my kids are on bigger, long distance aircraft. The trays drop down over the toilet space. Work very well.

I hate Operator by Jim Croce. Please leave it off my jukebox. 

And the brain eating scene is brutal

Someone treated McGregor with the indifference and contempt that he deserves and his tiny ego couldn’t take the punch. 

The Babylon Bee can be quite funny when it aims its sights at evangelical church culture, but it is woefully unfunny when it tries to skewer liberal politics. Write about what you know has never been more true than it is with them. 

Kind of awesome, but isn’t having an Xbox and a PC in one kind of redundant given that all Xbox games are available for windows these days? A PS4/PC hybrid would cover all your bases.

Yes, but will it make me cry like Journey did?
Only video game to do that so far. 

I came here ready to roll my eyes and disagree with you but... it kinda... looks good??

I know John Cho’s “Searching” (2018) wasn’t a horror movie. But I’ll use this moment to give it a shout out, because it took the techniques tentatively used in The Bay and updated them even more, adapting them to the age of social media. It was masterfully done. You knew the only reason the movie felt fresh was…

As a Bostonian, I have to disagree. There is nothing about our pizza that makes it special. We have no identifiable style. Other than a few classic italian joints (Santarpios, Pinoccios, etc) and a few modern gems (Penguin, Posto, Picco, Area 4...) most of the pizza is the classic mediocre greek style pizza that is…

I completely get the Weezer disappointment.
