It's really crazy how the West spent centuries of historical scholarship with countries comparing their situations with Greek and Roman history whenever they could. For a while the British were obsessed with compared themselves and the French to Rome and Carthage, Czarist Russia decided that it was the 'Third Rome'…

Smell-o-vision?

It's going to be a maze.

Is that how Leia's clothes fell off in ROTJ?

Beeper King Bad.

I started playing The Witcher last weekend. I'm on Chapter 2 and the day/night cycle actually does make it feel like Majora's Mask, with me trying to schedule when to do which quests in town so I don't have to run back and forth as much. I always prefer to do RPGs like that, gathering all the sidequests at once so I…

I can understand Scott not wanting to announce "Don't worry, we recorded the podcast already," especially if he didn't want to commit to airing it at all, let alone pushing it up the schedule, before he made the decision.

It's not like Kevin Smith needed an excuse.

You don't understand these poor movies and their suffering studios. Sure they have hundreds of millions of dollars, but do they have love? Probably, but do they have love in statuette form?

When Serial isn't in the articles, people should be asking, "Where's Serial?"

The whole problem with this 'problem' of YA elitism is that YA, like all
'genres', is a category, not an inherent quality. The only reason we're
comparing these two books is because they're in the same 'genre' but are discussed differently. Maybe, just maybe, the fact that the books are extremely different means that…

What do you mean, those Hindu Kush mountains?

Give me a few minutes and access to TV Tropes.

There are only so many Nepalese-Australians you can dismember to make other characters immortal…

"Are these morons getting dumber or just louder?"

Same. I think they gave too much info. If all I had was that it ran through 29 large cities I would be more likely to say the Ganges, but all the stuff about the 10 largest and the exact length threw me off.
