Um… This case doesn't seem to be about sharing Netflix passwords, as much as, as if I worked for Netflix, and "shared" with you my internal password to Netflix's source code, client information and other legitimately private corporate property. That should definitely be illegal.

2003, GTA:Vice City, "Stunt Boat Challenge". Beating the required time was seemingly impossible (especially with a noisy Cuban NPC in the passenger seat, constantly shouting, "MANG, you're the maing mang! I like you, mang!"). I finally learned online how to configure all of the vehicle parameters, so I temporarily

That's what I figured, but the spinning sounded real enough. I'll have to go back and watch some old reruns to check that out.

Joker's Wild sure did use projectors, at least through the '70s and early '80s, and that was one thing I loved about it without realizing it. It was just wonderfully mechanical — you could hear the rattle of the slots as they spun, see the weird glow of the categories on those three large screens, and even

That's as may be, which, if so, is good news. I just meant that the TV show is almost certainly their justification for publishing the new comic.

It's only being published as a companion series to the Fox TV show, so… I don't know, but I doubt it.

I haven't seen any mention here of possibly the most ridiculous example I know of: "Itty", the tiny alien starfish adopted as a sidekick by Green Lantern Hal Jordan. Seemingly created solely to give a lonely Green Lantern someone or something to talk to, Itty communicated only in vibrations, making the conversation

Yes, I thought one of the cool things Johns did there was set up a "Black Adam Family" as a dark mirror of the Marvel Family. You had Isis, Osiris and Sobek filling out the roles of Mary, Junior and Tawny. (Too bad he never got around to Uncle Black Adam, etc.)

Not quite the last issue but almost (#48 out of 50).

I also liked Elongator and the Martian Ant-Eater.

Frankly, this feels like the poignant coda to Captain Phillips, with its stoic yet traumatized Hanks, stretched out to feature length.

This may not be up everyone's alley (including your daughters'), but there is a pretty awesome remake of the Wonder Woman theme by Tricky (with vocals from Anthony Keidis) on the album Blowback. It's redone as a dark-sounding but propulsive dance/rock track in the mode of Tricky's "Brand New You're Retro", with new

People forget that Sun Session-era Elvis was really a three-piece band, with Scotty Moore and Bill Black as the other two players. There are at least a couple famous photos of the trio that tell much of the story: Elvis looks like an otherworldly alien demigod or something, while Moore and Black by comparison look

I have them, and while I can't honestly claim to have gotten through every issue, I'd say what I read pretty well matches that statement. (Part of the problem is that Cerebus turns into little more than a prose dump in places, and a not-interesting one at that.)

I admit this is the first I've heard any of this sexual harassment stuff regarding Schwartz. Does anyone have a more detailed run-down (or a link that goes to same)? Schwartz's Wikipedia page is silent on the topic.

Ah, A&W — I was wondering about that one too. Visiting New York for the first time in 1990, I got my then-girlfriend to take me to Staten Island just to go through the A&W.

RIP ShowBiz Pizza Place. I don't think I've ever walked into a Chuck E. Cheese, but ShowBiz was the place — around 1983-84, it was the next level up in my exposure to video arcades, as they had a massive gaming floor with the latest and highest-end coin-ops. It was my first exposure to Dragon's Lair (which attracted

Talking Heads' Tina Weymouth on Bernie Worrell's funk influence:

My argument has always been, why does Lucas and/or Star Wars need its own museum?
