I think either almost all your friends play, or almost none do. When I was at college, beginning my failure to launch any type of professional or social life beyond my high school friends, playing WoW was the main way I stayed in touch with the familiar faces I knew and loved, even if most of them were pretending to…

I don't know that I prefer one style to the other. It's certainly easier to tell a linear story, or create a genuine world when there are characters coming out of every dank pit (or fish's stomach). A lot of the charm of OoT (which most players consider the best of the series) was its colorful cast of characters. …

I don't know that they'd be able to make a game JUST like this anymore. At least not under the Zelda franchise. For one thing, the game is supposed to appeal to kids as well as adults. Throwing a kid in the deep end and saying "go explore!" when all the other Zelda games they've ever known give more direction than…

I would play the h3ll out of a Zelda game where you went into the rare town, met people, hung out, re-supplied, and the rest of the world was a barren, inhospitable wasteland.

Also literally every line in Community.

Of course, the biggest one was the "gangs on PCP" explanation that the police give for EVERY SINGLE supernatural attack.

How do you talk about Rosanne's Becky situation without including the best example:

A whole article of WTF Mario moments and not ONE from Super Mario Bros. 2? What is this?

My favorite part was obviously the elevator takedown.

The first game of Dungeons and Dragons I ever ran, I had never played before. Nobody else had played before either. I ignored concepts like Challenge Rating and experience tracks in favor of giving the players a wide variety of choice in how to proceed. I ignored pre-made modules in favor of manufactured adventures.

I'm not a fan of the comics, so maybe I'm just judging this as a TV show, but I thought the elimination of all the players by the end really made sense from a narrative point of view. The idea was for Matt to "clean up Hell's Kitchen" by taking down the various crime factions. Having Leland just step in as The…

You know, I don't buy the character beat of Sansa agreeing to marry Bolton's son, but it's worth it for the bigger picture. Not only has the show deftly maneuvered Sansa into Jeyne's place (A move I predicted last week) in order to save Theon's redemption arc, it's ALSO maneuvered Brienne into a brilliant character…

I'm not going to lie, I've been concerned about watching the ending of this story instead of reading it. I've enjoyed HBO's rendition of ASOIAF, but it's been uneven, and way too focused on the boobs and the blood. Plus I enjoyed the books' butterfly effects: The way you could look at any major event, go back to…

Nice catch on the "S' all Good, Man." I didn't notice that at all. But you did miss the point of the ringlets and the suit design/material. He was deliberately ripping off Hamlin's look for the billboard picture.
