"Is there a technical term/trope name for the kind of secondary henchman Peridot is becoming?"
It's called a "Starscream"

I guess you haven’t seen Young Justice, Batman: The Brave and the Bold, or Beware the Batman. All excellent shows with unique voices.

It’s totally believable if you’re familiar with Timm’s body of work. Just try a Google image search sometime.

Andy Daly, Paul Scheer, Tig Notaro… must've been Earwolf day at Frederator Studios.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure no-one thinks huge, popped collars look good except the misguided people who wear them that way. Why not wear flared Austin-Powers-style cuffs while they’re at it?

I really, really wanted Manly to get developed into a full series. Fingers still crossed he'll get to do it someday. Adventure Time started out as a Nickelodeon-short-turned-viral-video and took years to become what we know today, after all.

This. I had to stop myself from gunning it the whole way home.

Seriously— to hell with Coulson. Unless the TV show has developed his personality beyond "perpetually smug G-man?"

Ben's death is the low point of the series for me as well. I'm not very familiar with the Marvel universe's non-superhero cast, and although the name "Ben Urich" sounded familiar to me, I wasn't really sure what his origins were.

"Has-his-shit-together Batman" is my favorite Batman.

I know the From Software devs name-dropped Dracula in a couple interviews, but to me this game more queues from H.P. Lovecraft's mythos. From the names and designs of the game's later bosses, to the hidden lore, to the very fact that understanding more of what is actually going on (gaining "Insight") makes your…

On the other hand, the Oblivious Neckbeard Initiative seems to be in full swing

Anything on King Crimson's Absent Lovers live album. Just about everything on that playlist is performed superbly and better arranged (in my opinion) than the studio recordings— "Lark's Tongues in Aspic," "Discipline," and "Three of a Perfect Pair" in particular.

It's my all-time favorite SF novel as well. So frank about the awful, ruthless and self-absorbed nature of its protagonist and yet breathlessly (literally) optimistic about the future of humankind. Take the template of The Count of Monte Cristo and stretch over it some wonderfully entertaining world-building involving…

Sounds like Oglaf: The Game.

First result for a Google search of "Maheswaran" is a person from Sri Lanka.

I'd agree, but episodes like Coach Steven and Steven the Swordfighter make me think Square Mom and Bird Mom are still neck-at-neck in that category.

Is the cover an American Football reference? Looks like it's gotta be.

So, I just discovered you can die from a sufficiently high-velocity impact. After respawning, I later found bits of B.U.D.'s old body lying around the area. It was morbid, yet adorable. Morbidorable.

Great picks, but I'm disappointed that J.H. Williams III didn't make the list. His work on Morrison's resurrected "Batmen of All Nations" storyline (The Black Glove) is absolutely gorgeous. It doesn't hurt that he gets to work with awesome colorists.
