I swear I remember Domino’s doing something like this, where you’d text them a pizza emoji and it’d trigger an order for your “Easy Order” linked to your phone number on their site.

Pepsi Quartz, Pepsi Victory, Pepsi-Cola Quantum...

I remember seeing this game done more or less as a joke on YouTube by Jon from Many A True Nerd...

Fuck Amazon forever. As an “office mercenary”, I often say I’ll work for anyone if the money’s good, but I draw a hard line at Amazon. Not at any price, not on their payroll, not as a temp, not ever.

Rome: Total War remains to this day my second-favorite game of all time (behind Fallout: New Vegas, which supplanted it in 2010.) I have almost 300 hours in the Steam version and had hundreds if not thousands of hours on the disc version back in the mid-to-late aughts.

The guy seems like a Masahiko Kobe type for the states.

I tend to believe that all the pre-Christian Old Gods are the same pantheon, just interpreted through the various cultural prisms of the many Western cultures and societies who worshipped them before the apostle Paul had to turn his buddy Jesus into the fucking Borg Queen.

Your “haha, sucks to be you” instinct is stronger than your “I love you, I will keep solidarity with you” instinct?

A nice (and by nice I mean that the way they mean it in Minnesota) nomination in 2011, but any game that came out in the same year as Skyrim and Total War: Shogun 2 wasn’t about to win the big prize.

Monkey Ball, Hamster Ball, LaMelo Ball, don’t matter, Cavs in fo’.

Most of those roads in Salem were laid out when the witch trials weren’t actually going on there (neighboring Danvers used to be called “Salem Village”, and they changed their town name precisely to distance themselves from their sordid history.)

My mother is a graduate of Salem High School.

I’ll take ten.

Desert Bus for Hope is like Newton’s equal and opposite reaction to Games Done Quick.

“whose God-given name is Thor”

All that is old is new, and all of the expansions up to 2020 will be reworked again starting in 2040.

Considering the evolution of the series, having “carrying a piece of fence” be considered a suspicious item would be weird even by Hitman standards.

How soft? Because I had some delivered fish n’ chips last night for dinner that steamed a bit in the bag and took on a soft-but-not-mushy texture—and because it was Ivar’s, it was of course delicious. I complain about the pizza and the burgers in Seattle, but the seafood is spectacular.

When I go back to Boston, one of the first places I hit up is the Pizzeria Regina kiosk at South Station. Especially during a commuter rush, that little stand turns over its slices lightning-fast, so they’re super-fresh and, thanks to Regina being one of the few places in Boston that actually serves a pizza that’s…

Danielle Fishel was, for a good 15 years, my “celebrity exception” (Kat Dennings now holds that place in my wildly-unrealistic fantasies/jokes-with-new-girlfriends space. Yeeeeeah, I’ve got a “type”.)
