He's certainly trying.

Apparently two trains had already come through without incident, so I'm sure the crew was convinced everything was under control.

There was apparently a hospital bed prop on the tracks (who knows why). The crew had cleared the trestle, but the train hit the prop and shrapnel from the prop hit Jones and killed her.

The jury assigned them 35% of the fault; according to the Variety article, the lawsuit alleged they violated their own policies. I'm curious too. I'll see what I can find.

More of this, please!

Yeah, there's such a thing as a "Nintendo on a chip" now. One little PCB with clones of all the relevant hardware, all ready to be shoved into one of those "Super PlayStation 64" things. The NES was fairly intentionally based on commonplace hardware.

This is almost as good as the other day when I saw someone excoriating Nintendo as "greedy" for not re-releasing the N64's WWF No Mercy.

Games are generally easier, but they also are more complicated.

And that wasn't even the Atari that made the 2600. Warner bought it from Nolan Bushnell shortly after the 2600 came out and then he left a couple years later. After the Video Game Crash, Warner split it into multiple pieces and sold off the unprofitable bits. There's very little continuity. It's like Activision, which…

Atari hasn't really been Atari since the mid-'80s when Warner sold half of it to Jack Tramiel, who tried to turn half of it into Commodore 2: Electric Boogaloo. If I'm not mistaken, this iteration of Atari doesn't even have the rights to most of the games people associate with Atari — that was Atari Games/Tengen,…

Because I'm tired of every article on the AV Club that has the remotest quantity of substance being greeted with a bunch of aggressive nitpicking.

Recently she got a little bit of press (i.e. mockery on late night shows) for responding to concerns about the the health care bill by saying "guess what? We're all going to die someday."

Stretching? Maybe. I'm just not particularly concerned that people will somehow be misled about what vinegar tastes like.

It's funny, my visceral reaction to the various forms of herring are almost the reverse of what this article suggests. Smoked herring is just smoked fish. Tasty. Gimme some of that. But I've still never really gotten comfortable with fish in jars or tins (even though I like the contents), and there's still something…

I don't think it's unreasonable at all to read "vinegar" in that phrase as referring to the vinegar-based mixture the fish is pickled in, and the salt from the curing makes the vinegar taste briny. I agree that the second step should have been referred to as "pickling" rather than "brining", but it's really not a…

The one good thing about Kinja is going to be that it doesn't have downvotes and this tired-ass gimmick will finally be over.

He looks like someone 3D printed a handsome boy face and glued it to a large potato.

"I'm so exhausted. From all the time travel."

There were a lot of reactions to Capaldi along those lines, too. A handsome guy, a goofy pretty boy, and a space alien wearing a pretty boy flesh mask had set up fans with some expectations about how erotic they would feel about the Doctor, I guess.

That's also a good excuse for casting actors other than white men. Maybe the new regeneration cycle has new rules.
