Yep. Given that the author uses “cold” Florida winters as his example of learning this technique, I’m not sure understands why people in the Great North do it (remote starters are pretty popular in MN!). If you leave it out in the extreme cold long enough, even your antifreeze can (paradoxically) freeze!

“Going backwards, we were doing the wrong thing, but now, going forward, we will be doing the right things, until such point when we must go forward again (at some undetermined point in our timeline), at which point what we are doing going forward as of this moment will become going backwards.”

-“Going forward” as a replacement for “in the future” or “from now on”: Gee, are you worried we were going backwards?

Basic advice for the final boss (from someone who is not that good at the game but still managed to finish it):

I’ve been in a bit of a retro mood, so I’m currently playing Final Fantasy A2: Grimoire of the Rift. Although I am emulating it, I can definitely see how this game might have been perfect for a handheld like the DS: there’s a lot of smaller quests to grind out in your slack time and the plot is inconsequential enough*

although judging by the end credits, which mention “principle photography,” it still wasn’t enough to hire a proofreader.

Per Wikipedia:

Spiders-Man? You mean this funny fella:

I do it for high beams when I’m traveling on isolated country roads, though with all the trucks out there with the 4-way “deer-blinder” head lights, it hardly makes a difference...low beams are just as bad.

I reached end credits in Immortality (in truth, the game bugged out at the sequence that should have been the end credits, but I got the acheivement, so it counts!) this week. I’m tempted to go back and scour for more clips, but it was starting to get tedious. The whole match-cut system of finding new footage is

I can’t help feeling you’re just posting this article to taunt Volunteer Proofreader (and all the other commenters that bitch about how bad the editing has gotten on these sites).  

I feel like B&J’s is running out of ideas for new flavors.  Between the “Core” and “Topped” line, the new innovation seems to be “let’s put even more stuff in our already overstuffed ice cream”.  I know this sounds like I’m being judgy, but I have no doubt I’ll pick up that Bossin’ Creme Pie flavor when it shows up in

I just finished Signalis; I had thought I was close to finishing it last week, but it turned out that was a fake-out. Without spoiling anything, I would caution any first-time players to distrust the first anti-climatic ending you get (check the internet if you can’t figure how to proceed).

Chick-fil-A fired a worker for posting menu hacks on TikTok.

The only clip packages we got were the ones for Ryan Murphy and Eddie Murphy in advance of their lifetime achievement awards.

Between this and “chuegy”, are the current generation just really bad at coining words?  They don’t exactly roll off the tongue so much as tumble down the tongue, as if pushed down stairs.  I suppose there is the consideration that these are meant to be extremely online neologisms, rarely spoken aloud.

But how will people learn more about the cast of the venerable Space Jam franchise?!?

My mom didn’t play many video games, but the she played the hell out of the ones she did. The original TJ&E certainly was one of those; she wore out a couple Genesises (Genesi?) playing it. The last time I played it with her, I was pretty rusty at it and she pretty much carried me through several Game Overs. She was

We get it. You, the readers of The A.V. Club, are tired of hearing about Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles and Florence Pugh and all the rest. Believe it or not, we, the writers of The A.V. Club, are also pretty tired of discussing it.
