I can't blame her for leaving.

I mentioned this to a friend, a while ago.

"Alright" was an important song to me this year. It basically turned into something that's helping me have faith about the future this week.

I have seen SEVERAL parody accounts on Twitter give up tonight. And while, in general I loathe parody accounts (not you, RDMC), it's just kinda amazing that this has broken them all.

I work in the news industry, and will be in the office for "as long as it takes" tonight. Pray for me.

YES. This is something I really loathe about movies these days. Let your heroes get actually, genuinely beat up, make them WORK for the victory, not just coast there or give them "adversity" that you'd normally find in a badly-written fanfic.

Plenty of the stories in sports would be plenty compelling in any other medium. Jackie Robinson, LeBron James, John Elway, you could create a perfectly compelling movie, TV show, comic or book around some of the basic beats of their careers as athletes.

I got one of my equally nerdy friends into sports (to a limited extent) by pointing out how it's just as much of a gossipy soap opera as most of the comics and TV he likes, and that it's entirely possible to watch and enjoy sports without engaging in meatheaded hot-takery.

I feel like there were a number of games that could've been really interesting, ambitious titles but suffered from defaulting to basic "shoot-em-up" mechanics. Second Sight comes to mind for me immediately, a game that should've been WAY less shooty than it ended up being.

Wait, that's not a joke? I thought that was a Fast & Furious joke.

Much like Die Hard, this is another film series that was perfectly fine at, and should've stopped with #3.

There are so many, hugely interesting times and places, RE: race relations, that it'd be fun to tool around in in a game.

"You’re playing as a black man in the American South during a time where hate and prejudice were (even more) the norm."

Probably, but I don't feel like waiting a year.

The MGS series has always struck me like some comics, where there's such a dense-ass mythology and history behind it that having any idea what's going on if you jump in late is nigh-on impossible.

Speaking as a Yankees fan, I must say it was delicious how quickly success made Red Sox fans morph into everything they said they hated.

Yeah, the answer to "If the Cubs actually win, what would that mean for their beloved underdog persona?" is really easy, Red Sox fans set the template already.

We Hate Movies, The Bodega Boys, Hardcore History.

I have had several mind-blowing voice-acting realizations in, like, a week. First was finding out that Mae was Katara, then finding out Kether Donohue's awful sister on You're the Worst was Korra, THEN finding out that Kyle from Living Single was the original voice for Kratos.

I saw her in Mike & Molly. I found her rather fetching.
