Not just more people, it's supposed to have been twice as many. If they edged it out by a couple thousand, sure, you can forget that. Double, though? He's going to be starting off furious

Super good vibes in Portland today, though that's hardly shocking. Big dance party at the end of the mile and some march route, estimates somewhere between seventy and one hundred thousand. Up to and including when I'm writing this at nearly midnight, the city's bars, restaurants, bus stops, gas stations, everywhere…

This is one of those situations where I truly don't understand censoring and complaining about televised cussing. I'm the biggest fan of cussing you've met this week, but I'm totally open to the idea that a lot of people don't want to have their kids exposed to habitual potty-mouthing. That's totally fine and a…

What was Nashville looking like? I live in portland, so it's kind of a given that the city would shut completely down and take to the streets (we had an estimated hundred thousand out today though which blew expectations out of the water), but I wonder what it looked like in red states. Any significant…

Hey avclub: you can't go putting pictures of Mel Brooks up on a website where the pictures load before the text sometimes this close to 2016. I about took a shit, don't scare me like that

Oh man I hadn't even considered that sea world could be a massive conspiracy designed to guarantee a supply of shark blood to sharkpires in key regions, that's in there now. Also blaming trainer maimings on orcas seems like a thing a sharkpire illuminati would do, based on ancient rivalry.

One thing to look out for in 2017 is a game called Sunless Skies. The studio's last one, Sunless Sea, was an incredible piece of writing with a little bit of gameplay tacked on top of it to give you something to do. It's the same setting as their game Fallen London, which is a weird Victorian gothic kind of thing…

I really hope we get a PC port this time. I've played like an hour of red dead and I loved what I saw, but I'm just not trying to buy a console over two games (metal gear 4 being the other obvs).

Prey sounds really interesting. I never played the first one, but it sounds like a marvelous stack of badly implemented ideas, and there's nothing I like in games more than enthusiasm. Give me five broken things that you're excited about, I'll take it over one polished rote thing every single time. I'm more of a…

God I'm so bored with telltale. It seems like they're bleeding talent, too, with ex telltale guys doing stuff like Firewatch and Oxenfree, which are both just on such a different level than "minecraft guy will remember this."

It's looking like kind of a thin year for the PC, which is a bummer after these last couple. Torment is the main thing I'm looking out for this year (and oh lord my god am I ever looking out for it, the first one is why I got my girlfriend) but I'm not really seeing many heavy hitters like last year with XCOM all the…

On it

The weresharks were unwitting pawns created by the sharkpires to cover up yet another, larger set of shark-lookin crimes. You think I'm gonna stop at two?

The most recent of the walkable ramen shops is the first branch to ever be opened outside of Japan. I'm doing pretty good

If I were emperor of the universe, I'd spend a whole lot of time demanding Hearts of Darknesses for a whole lot of different movies, and few to none of those movies would be good or important. I want an interview with the guy that put that ear of corn in that sex scene in Troll 2, I demand answers

That's the thing about tension and release. When there's a huge build to a moment, you remember the moment more than the build. When it's all release and no tension, it just makes you tired. A well-paced movie or song or whatever is like good long sex, a Michael Bay movie is like that guy who had nine orgasms…

Honestly this sounds like something I'd get a kick out of. I have bad monster movie ideas that would put hair on your chest and then curl it.

Protect that house, buddy. If I'm cooking for you, I expect you to give me a fair chance before you go fucking with my ratios. Also odds are it's overseasoned if anything, I don't do bland

I haven't had the moment where sushi "clicks" yet. My dad was a big time angler so I love river fish, but sea food is still kind of hard for me, I don't like a fishy flavor. I go out for sushi about once every other year and try to give it a fair shake again, but I still bounce off. Hopefully some day I can get…

Oh lord, what? Carrots?
