    The Big Picture: Mystery Science Theater 3000

    There's one reason the new shows by these amazing geniuses will never match the original MST3k: They don't have puppets. Having said that, I fully agree with everything you said in this episode, Bob. "Push the button, Frank."

    293: Vampire of the Rising Sun

    That's a cool article. Something I find interesting about Japan is its capability to take historical people/places/events and use them in popular culture (after taking some heavy liberties with them, but still). For example, the Amakusa Shiro mentioned in the article has been used as a...

    279: Homeward (Earth)Bound

    I love the series, and one of the things I like, while it might seem kind of minor, is just how different the final boss fights are compared to most other RPG games. In each game, the final boss is more of an endurance round where you fight to survive while you rely on something other than the...

    Favorite RPG Moment?

    Pretty much anything from Mother 3, but especially Flawed heroes (although yeah, Flint is basically only a minor hero in the story) are infinitely more interesting, and scenes where these flaws turn a hero, for however briefly, into someone who is in the wrong and must be stopped are pretty...

    Poll: The best Sci-Fi universe.

    I'm sorry, it's a close call, but I decided rank the Outlaw Star universe just slightly above the Firefly one.

    games you try to like but end up hating

    Morrowind, actually. I tried. I'm not too upset, though, because I got it for six bucks. Blah blah blah every Final Fantasy since 9 blah blah blah common complaints blah blah...

    Should they remake "Earthbound/MOTHER" for the Nintendo?

    Eh? What is this Metroid 2 remake you speak of...?

    Should they remake "Earthbound/MOTHER" for the Nintendo?

    I would absolutely take a new, three-dimensional Mother trilogy if they stuck with a non-realistic style. I don't want Mr. Saturn to come out looking like something from Funky Forest: The First Contact: But I love the Mother series, so whatever comes, if it ever does..

    Stanley Kubrick owes me 2 and a half hours of my life back!

    It's been way too long since I've seen the movie... I don't remember having trouble with it, but I may have built up tolerance for slower-paced movies. Anyway, so you didn't like 2001... But it's almost Halloween, after all, so how about The Shining?

    Why do you defend/love gaming?

    Because they are a moment of fun in a dreary world of work and worry. And because every once in awhile, games give the world things like this-- --and then I feel like playing the Mother trilogy all over again...

    Sci-fi + western awesome?

    Thanks guys, I now have nothing to say. Except that scifi + western > awesome.

    What are you listening to right now?

    Well right now it's mostly the motherfucking ringing in my right ear which has been worse than usual the past couple days. To try and cover it up, however, I'll be listening to the National: ...Love that "I was afraid/ I'd eat your brains" bit.

    Poll: Indefinite procrastination.

    My friends are getting pissed at me becuase I still haven't finished the comic book (graphic novel, whatever) I've been working on (off-and-on, rather) for over two years now. ...Especially since I admitted I'm almost at the end of the story... (Hell, I could be working on it right now! But...

    Unskippable: Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War

    What, a map-burning scene and no "Bonanza" riff? ...Oh... ...Wait... Yeah, nevermind. Apparently, I'm old. I'll just go yell at kids to get off my lawn now...

    Poll: Sweet or Salty?

    Hey, here's a question for you. What do you go for first when you get junk food? Do you go for sweets? Candy, chocolate covered-whatevers? Or do you go for salty stuff? Chips, pretzels, jerky... (I realize most everybody eats both, but that's not what this is about; I want you to pick...
