Chthulu is pissed that you took its image in vain.

Also he’s not nearly as funny on the page as he is when he’s reading his own work.

Fair enough. For me the bigger issue was the whole thrust of the plot was “We have to save Earth.” It didn’t make much sense to me, because two of Shepard’s origin stories have them being from somewhere else. Not to mention that we’d never been to Earth in the earlier games, and don’t get to see very much of it when…

The endings weren’t THAT bad. They weren’t even the thing that was really wrong with ME 3.

Yeah. He’s been with Bioware for close to 15 years I think. I understand the desire to move on (and maybe make a shit ton of more money—though I can’t imagine he wasn’t well compensated for making the ME games, IP he helped develop). I don’t know about the transition though. Sounds like he’s moving away from games…

Over on io9 they’re doing a “What’s your Bad Blood name?” thing.

Not a dick story: I met Kerry Washington once. It was at the start of her career, and I’d been hired to take pictures of something (not the actors). I should mention I had no idea what I was doing, so I was just standing around looking pretty clueless, when she came up to me and introduced herself. I was so shocked…

I’m drooling right now.

Brown’s letter says she’s getting promoted to Associate Professor. At BU that’s a tenured job.

Given all the military-fellatiating films that get made by dudes, you’d think ZD30 would be a pretty lowly infraction on the list of jingoistic propaganda crimes.

Good luck getting her fired. Brown’s letter makes it clear that she’s already getting tenure and that they don’t seem to be backing away from that decision.

Seconded.

Ultimately it did pretty well for a show that was supposed to be a 12 part summer miniseries.

Seriously. There are good writers out there. I suspect that many of them aren’t getting published anywhere.

I never got him. He thinks he’s fucking Flaubert, when really just the most exceptionally mediocre, among a field of the same.

You make it sound so reasonable. Clearly you are not a lawyer.

That and a little John Wayne Gacy, too.

What is he running from? Show me the monster.
