Yikes. What's the liability insurance for something like that? You just know the roadies slap that thing together with spit and baling wire each night.

Ha. Well, you're not wrong about that. I guess it was so obvious, it didn't occur to me.

In the earliest (Web 1.0?) days, I always thought the primary threat to society posed by the internet would be the instant, unfiltered access to every conceivable type of porn known to humankind. I mean, any curious eight year old is a few mouse clicks away from 4chan, Two Girls One Cup, and I don't even want to know…

I can definitely see how a lot of people might hate that ending or think it's pretty ridiculous, but I think it works especially well if you're familiar with the story (which has a very different ending) and get taken off guard.

Counter-counterpoint: Context matters an awful lot. Is any given MCU movie technically superior to any of the original SW movies? Maybe. Will any MCU movie even have half the impact episodes IV or V had? No, of course not.

Yeah, by sanitized I meant that the original illustrations were removed. The stories themselves are the same, but they're relatively unimportant compared to the illustrations, no?

That was an interesting period in heavy music, when a lot of bands were trying to push punk/hardcore/whatever into more complex, mathy directions, although I don't recall anyone using the word "math" or any variations thereof at the time.

I think you're too modest when you say you're not an expert. That's by far the most satisfying explanation I've heard.

What's really scary is that newer editions have been sanitized or had the triggers removed or whatever we call political correctness in 2016. Yes, the classic Stephen Gammell illustrations have been removed.

It's hard to imagine that anything could possibly have been genuinely creepy with the severely limited visuals of the time, but they did as well as could be expected. The quantum leap between between this and Alone in the Dark only three years later is pretty amazing, but I don't think I was truly scared by a game…

Maybe this is a joke that I'm not getting, but how is a vacuum tube not an actual thing that some devices contain and others don't?

I guess that explains almost everything then, but it still seems weird that the Salish Sea is the only place in the world with currents, water conditions, and geography conducive to the accumulation of floating feet. I wonder if it's some kind of confirmation bias, and in fact floating feet turn up all the time all…

Damn you, that is just too perfect.

Maybe "clueless Millennial" was a bit harsh, but what's wrong with discarding someone's opinions as irrelevant to me? If a 19-year-old kid said "I think Drake is as important a musician in the history of Western culture as Mozart" then I'm pretty comfortable in believing both that this kid is a clueless Millennial…

Although I agree that it's overwrought, I give this Zoe Camp a pass because 1) she can craft a heck of a sentence, 2) she doesn't get out of her depth trying to make grand statements about the cultural zeitgeist like some other AV Club reviewers who are obviously clueless Millennials (*cough* Katie Rife *cough*), and…

Ironically, the Oxford (serial) comma is more of an American thing. But yes, everyone should use serial commas, because they reduce ambiguity and are awesome.

I think you're right that there are limitations to guitar-based rock, and we've long since reached the point (at least 15 years or so) where all that can really be done is to recombine previous variations on the main formula.

But this is our hill, and these are our beans.

If she was responsible, I think her stock at the AV Club would have risen considerably. It looks to me like she's more the butt (pun intended) of the joke though.
