Ugh. How about all the levels in there where you have to navigate through looooooong bramble patches?

To be fair, can Metal Gear, Half Life and Resident Evil be said to have "levels" as easily quantified as Nintendo's offerings?

There are a few different Vice City levels that I think would qualify. Including the one where you have to (IIRC) go to the mall and steal something, then escape with a five-star wanted level? Then there was also the one where you had to drive across town, get to the scrap yard, and save Lance before he bled to death.…

If we're talking 1st gen Pokemon we gotta talk about that awful Team Rocket headquarters level.

I love it too! It's incredible. I've never gotten all the red gems but it's just the right mix of not-too-hard and aesthetically enjoyable that I replay it every once in awhile.

Which yeah, is the same level just a different part. It's one infuriating level part stuck right after another one — different kinds of frustrating, but equally ridiculous. It's literally the FIRST video game I have ever played, and I've never gotten all the way to the end. I always run out of lives in the awful last…

Birds are just straight-up nightmares in any classic game. The first Super Star Wars has a level where you have to hop from rock to rock as Luke Skywalker and birds swoop down to knock you all over the place. That would be one of my nominations.

See: conservatives endlessly screaming about "identity politics" and how corrosive they are, while also wondering aloud why there is no white history month.

This is the sequel to Loving that we need right now.

IIRC both of those episodes were almost entirely ad libbed. The TV content, I mean.

I haven't heard that Criminal episode yet but the description really strongly reminds of "The Hunt for the Death Valley Germans", which is a series written by a hiker / outdoorsman kind of guy who used some pretty interesting inductive reasoning to search for the bodies of a missing family of German tourists who went…

From what I understand, our only choices (in the American capitalist society here, anyway) is to A) shift our priorities away from automation to employing people for jobs that we understand we could automated, but have decided not to to sustain the economy (there's a name for this idea but I don't recall what it is)…

Speaking as someone from a dead end town in a state that voted for Trump, I can think of a few things that would help those people. Namely education funding, family planning assistance, criminal justice reform. But people vote for Republicans who call those things tyranny and instead spend their time making our state…

It's Bill Nye saves "the" world, not "Beakman's" world. That world runs parallel to our own.

It looks like a lot of fun. I saw Bill Nye at one of his speaking tour stops at my University and it was an informative, entertaining experience. However, Netflix has already burned me once with how excruciatingly boring, painful and cringeworthy White Rabbit Project was so I'm apprehensive.

There's kind of an ouroboros effect going on here, as far as your point goes, I think. Not to blame Parker and Stone for anything ridiculous — I'm not saying South Park is to blame for modern antisemitism, or anything — but I think it's pretty telling how many people who seem to have been influenced by Cartman (and…

I think that I would agree it's definitely a double standard. And I was being flippant. But what I would say is this: the press and the public wouldn't (and didn't) treat Obama or his press secretaries in the same way as it's treating Spicer. But — at least as far as the press goes — I think that double standard is…

No one brags like Gaston, no one grabs like Gaston!

These ain't the Obama years anymore.

I've heard Scandinavia is pretty sweet
