Agreed. How petty do you have to be to hate someone for being good at a game?

Sure I hate spawn camping and griefing. But this guy isn’t even doing that. And I’m also not going to troll someone on the internet because they did it to me. Or threaten their life.

This is the end result of modern society denying the…

i don’t know anything about this game, community, or player, but reading this makes me want to attend every tournament near me to cheer for this guy. fucking loud.

We have a top-notch photo research department!

Crusader Kings 2 was the first thing I thought of when the conversation turned to “random events and procedural storytelling in videogames” vs the comfort and safety that life simulators are built upon. I’ve admittedly never played a Paradox game, but among my friends, it rivals our D&D campaigns for the number of…

They don’t ever explain this mechanic as far as I can tell, but my partner was mad at her chickens for never laying eggs, which prompted her to do an internet search about it. Turns out she was the one upsetting them all along! I guess they’ll also get mad at you if you lock them out of their pens overnight, which…

Wow, my comment got featured! Never thought this would’ve happened (*＾v＾*).

EmperorNortinI made me smile in the best way, the emotional equivalent of what makes blood orange such a delicious flavor. It’s true, it’s a little bitter, and it’s rich in the right way.

The “Moral Majority” finally get the leader they deserve: a serial sexual predator, adulterer, thrice-married, draft-dodging megalomaniac coward who has admitted to never have asked god for forgiveness.

“I’m not here to say I’m right and I’m better than you”

And when you dismiss the vast majority of people with power who DON’T do that, and the people without power who DO, that’s also bullshit. You’re pretending that by assuming the worst of every famous person that you know better than the rest of us. Unfortunately, you don’t know either. You just have confirmed biases.…

Under Disqus the troll who gets the rise out of the most people doesn’t get top billing.

I mean maybe comments with the most responses shouldn’t be moved to the top?

Yeah, but disqus we could block people. And they wouldn’t get featured at the top. Now I have to wade through paragraphs of rape culture 101 whereas before I could just never see them because of a nice little “You’ve blocked this person” sentence. (There were also fewer assholes under Disqus, but that’s mainly because…

I was just thinking about “Special Bulletin” and wondering if it would fit this column. In any case, it would be great to read a piece on it. It’s remarkably well done (at least in my memory) and the cast is spectacular.

That synth loop is still creepy as fuck. For decades I had no idea those spots were legitimate. Which of course is even freakier.

Apocalypse Then and A History of Violence are the best things going on AV Club right now IMO

Threads is interesting in that the last scenes attempt to show the long-term aftermath of nuclear war in a serious sense, which is rare. Yes, we have the “Mad Max” movies and countless others about a post-apocalyptic wasteland, but those aren’t realistic depictions. 

Thank you for this feature. Also to comment on this article, who was it that said “Civilization is an agreement to ignore the abyss?”

Testament is definitely on the list—and I was thinking of doing the ’80s Twilight Zone’s “A Little Peace And Quiet” on its own, but now I’m thinking a Twilight Zone nuclear holocaust omnibus would be a good idea. Thanks for the suggestion.

Oh are we giving suggestions now? I vote Testament or the Twilight Zone episodes about nuclear holocaust, “Shelter Skelter” and “The Old Man in the Cave”.
