Hey look everyone I know who I can't see but can hear the thoughts I project into the void! I can do amazing things with this collection of ones and zeros that those geniuses down the road put together, FOR FREE!

It helps me feel included even though I don't get to go out much because I'm a single parent, it let's me learn new ways to do things because I shout into the clouds and I get answers!

But It's only 30% better than the miracles that we already have. *yawn*

$2 Deluxe Hugs. Much better than stinky free hugs.

As someone who gives out hugs, I totally appreciate charging for the deluxe hugs. Also notice that the guy giving out the free hugs thought he was doing it to make people's lives better, but was one of the humorless people around.

Don't get me wrong, I do like Mass Effect and think it is a good game. But still...

There are many little structural problems that bug me about it. From the meaningless choices in conversation that all converge onto the same plot outcome, to the lack of any dramatic tension in the paragon/renegade choices; I get this feeling that I'm having a blast riding the world's most successful dinosaur.

Wes Anderson's Spider-Man.

I liked Rushmore a lot. But I think that whomever takes over the films need to know how to direct action.

Lost on ‘Lost’: Lost explained by people who haven't seen it.

Writing for a massively multiplayer game I appreciate these videos that show how story can get communicated to people who aren't even paying attention.

San Francisco’s Answer to Westboro Baptist Church. For all its problems, I love San Francisco.

If only the merry pranksters could follow the Westboro Baptist Church around all the time. Though considering they like to protest funerals I could see the merry pranksters getting less and less merry.

Lex made 100 Mini Legofigs for his 100 day project.

Every year on the 100th day of school they do a special project. Last year was 100 comic panels, this year it's Lego minifigs, or as he called it "Mini Legofigs"
