It should definitely be set in 2015, and shouldn't retcon anything. X-Files is a show that's famous (or infamous) for the complexity of it's mythology, and for those kind of shows retcons equal death. Nothing turns off fans quicker than realizing that all the episodes they remember never happened.

Was that a 'Red Dwarf' ref there?

"A lot of midgets tend to kill themselves. A disproportionate amount, actually. Hervé Villechaize off of Fantasy Island. I think somebody from the Time Bandits did. I suppose they must get really sad about like... being really little and that... people looking at them, laughing at them, calling them names. You know,…

There were also attempts at showing off how he got hold of so many weird weapons, an early debut of Shadow Link (who didn’t appear in a game until Four Swords) and even a special two-part series where Link and Zelda go on a date (and Link gets into a barfight).

They're not though, because they're not the ones you have to plan every meal around to be boring as fuck.

I don't necessarily disagree with you, but the difference seems to be that when I am having lunch with a picky eater, I can judge and shame them silently without actually making an annoyance of myself, while they seem to fall all over themselves to whine about the inside of the cherry tomatoes being too slimy or how…

Picky eaters of any age are annoying as shit and need to get it together. Adults who are picky eaters can fuck right off. The number of times I've heard someone exclaim "I don't like seafood" or "I just don't like vegetables" as if salmon and shrimp or avocado and carrots are even remotely comparable is astounding.

Maybe it's because I was a terrible Catholic and/or a barely-grown adult journalist in New York City on 9/11, but normal people making plans "for the zombie apocalypse" as some kind of throwaway term for actual contingency plans if shit gets bad... bugs me more than anything. Stuff happens and you're allowed to plan…

I know!

Yeah, as much as I like this character design, the fact that she's a butch Russian strongwoman is forehead-slappingly obtuse.

"had completely lost touch with social behaviors, including having sex or caring for their young"

Here you go: my reaction to his comments on how he is backing out of the development of the game he promised.

I watched this with a girl on a fourth or fifth date, we were starting to be a thing. She hated it, she said it was about nothing, that it so boring. She just didn't understand any of it and just thought nothing was happening the entire time. She didn't understand what the deal with birdman was, the character, she…

I think you missed Joe S.'s point. Could be wrong but as I read it, he was asking whether it's possible that Obi-Wan contacted the Empire, knowing they would come in, kill off Owen and Beru and wreck the farm, and leave Luke with really no choice but to go off on his adventure.

The actual list of harassing tweets is a fucking mile long.

Gordon is makin' statements and kickin' ass, and he's just about out of statements to make.

I would agree. I think bisexual is too limiting for him. I was going to call him pansexual, but omnisexual is even better.
