Yes, the reductive “Black Mirror says technology is bad!” argument ignores the fact that almost all of the episodes are not about how technology is bad, that rather it shines a (wait for it) mirror on ourselves and our deepest human impulses and flaws, and in many cases allows or even encourages us to be bad.

Wait wait wait...are you saying Louis CK may not have been totally on-the-mark about something relationship-related?!?

For the record: I’m not saying BioShock Infinite invented steampunk or anything. And while the genre has certain elements to it that will naturally occur in anything steampunk-inspired, when you look at this trailer, with its tinny music and voiceover about “the city” against a gold statue, followed by the world…

“Someday, one of your friends is gonna get divorced, it’s gonna happen, and they’re gonna tell you. Don’t go, ‘ohhhh I’m sorry.’ That’s a stupid thing to say. First of all you’re making ‘em feel bad for being really happy, which isn’t fair. And second of all: divorce is always good news. I know that sounds weird, but…

I mean you have to be pretty daft — almost willfully so — to not see the obvious similarities and inspirations between BioShock Infinite and this game. It’s not hiding it at all. 

Does it have a taco shitting ice cream? If not, then I’m out.

You left out the part where they had a $2B deal fall through recently, which likely prompted this “belt-tightening”. Essentially, they spent money like crazy to inflate their value for a potential sale/investment, it didn’t work, and now since they fucked up they gotta lay off a bunch of people and close down studios…

I liked the Fable trailer. It’s nice to see some levity in a AAA game. 

Personally, so long as our own companies are stealing our data, then I have no problem with China stealing our data as well. I’d hate to condemn China for something we are also doing, because that would be hypocritical, and possibly racist.

I never saw Kingdom of the Crystal Skull -- should I? Do I need to in order to enjoy this one, or can I skip it?

Why are you promoting what he said? It’s one thing to say “Tucker launched his show and said some dumb stuff that needs not repeating”, as you could argue it’s “newsworthy” or whatever (debatable). But — to reprint what he said, and further promote his idiotic views...why? Was this a request from on high? Do you…

They’re a parody account. Everything they say is a joke and should be treated as such!

My brother-in-law went through the following process of car ownership:

Yup. It should be banned; just cuz the MAGA folks are championing too, doesn’t mean it’s not a good idea. I know that’s a bit counterintuitive but I got pretty annoyed seeing people suddenly flip when it became a MAGA issue. 

You may not think there’s a lot a depth, but if you look a bit closer at Transformers, you’ll find there’s more than meets the eye.

As a Californian, I’m sorry that you all have to go through this. It absolutely sucks, and is terrifying on a deeply primal level.

Honestly this season it’s easier to name the sketches I didn’t like. Street Sets, the Friend Group thing, Metal Motto Search and Don Don Darley come to mind.

If you think about, almost everything is a subscription model. Own a house? Gotta pay a yearly fee (property tax). Own a car? Gotta resubscribe every year to drive it (registration fees). Even if you “own” a Nintendo switch, the only to play it is with electricity which - you guessed it - you gotta subscribe to…

Been a long time since I’ve seen a Daniel Tosh reference.

...did you miss Baldwin as Trump for all those years?
