Agreed. Notre Dame is such a great game (I guess it helps that Stefan Feld is my favorite designer). But I'd also highly recommend Takenoko, Cash and Guns, Lorenzo, and Bora Bora.

They're all dressed like some Australian's nightmare.

"…successor to System Shock 2" is enough to get me to buy a game straight away.

"Amos bonding a bit with Dr. Meng makes sense, given that Amos is weirdly good at bonding with people, even when they don’t completely trust him."

I found out about this earlier tonight and celebrated by screaming and jumping up and down. My wife, who was watching TV downstairs, thought I was getting electrocuted.

Heh heh, yup.

I'm a book reader, and read the first two books long before the show aired. I don't even *remember* him from the book—I thought he was a show invention!

His chapter in BA was my favorite by far. I always thought he was an interesting, somewhat shifty recurring character in the books, but after that part I actually *liked* him.

But…I can also see it on the tee vee.

Man, this really makes me miss Ronald Jones.

They filmed huge chunks of this a block from where I work, so I'm pretty excited to see this (and, precisely, my favorite bar).

Good ol' Ganymede, the breadbasket of the solar system, where nothing ever happens.

I remember Chris Brokaw said a few years ago that the band was working on a new album, so I've been waiting for this news since 2013, I think? Anyway, really excited for this. I've listened to the previous three albums (and all of Bedheads) non-stop since the early 2000s.

I have a number of friends who saw the movie at film fests over the past few months and the general consensus was that they all dug it a lot. (Which surprised me, since most of these guys were grumpy middle-aged critics who generally hate West.) I don't hate West, at all, so the C+ here doesn't turn me off one bit.

It's my favorite West film, and maybe one of my favorite movies of the past ten years.

I really dig Trigger Man. It's such a simple premise, but it's one of the few films that kept me genuinely STRESSED OUT for the last half.

This was my first thought too.

Yeah, that's my plan too (for the Pittsburgh shows). Backup plan is Cheap Trick (too bad they're openers).

This was a review, not a recap. Which might explain your distaste.

Since when is a B bad?
