That made me smile. Ripping the directions and the dollar bill in half, "ooo a seven!", "my mom gave me that table". I just watched Anthony's rants on recommendation from Extra Credits, so it's funny to see him showing up in a new series on here all of a sudden. Looking forward to more.

Good to hear that this is pretty decent and that Reepicheep is still awesome. Love me some Simon Pegg. Also, I was pretty excited about this one coming out when they started making Narnia movies, as this was my favorite of the books that I read as a kid (I think I stopped at The Magician's...

I liked this strip, though I do kind of agree that the "main characters" of the strip aren't all that great. The New Vegas one from earlier this week was fantastic - maybe Critical Miss is starting to hit its stride for me.

Good to know. I enjoyed the first one, albeit a bit guiltily, but it's nice to know that my concerns about this sequel seem to be pretty valid. By the way, I don't understand the Saw 3d trailers. Those scenes of people being clamped into the chair in the movie theater and the shit bursting...

I too appreciated Mandy's photo-taking spree. Hey, new guest star - I'd want to document it too. This episode kind of surprised me, probably because I haven't watched the last couple of episodes. The move from Gia to Bobbi was so quick and so free of pomp or circumstance I was a bit...

I've noticed this comment several times, and it baffles me. Did you guys miss the last half of the Expendables review where he explained all of the reasons why he thought The Expendables was a bad movie? Bad action sequences, bad story, lack of memorable kills, lack of blood? Also, he only spent...

Also, I just re-watched the Expendables review, and I'm shocked by the outrage everybody expressed, as the "insults" aren't even that extreme or frequent - the "worst sort of person" remark was made against an imagined person who truly believes that action movies were better before fight scenes...

What I don't get about this whole discussion is why people are offended that Bob, a movie critic, insulted them for liking a certain movie that he thinks is bad. Go out and read some negative reviews of Scott Pilgrim, and you'll hear all sorts of disparaging comments about the "audience it was...

There's a lot of appeal to the game for me, even though I was very annoyed with it at first. Once I beat through the game the first time, only trying to save about half the survivors, it was really enjoyable to go around trying to get the other achievements. Sure, the save system is seriously...

Did you pay any attention to the video? That's the point - there is potential for games to tell equal if not better stories than film and literature. I can think of several games off the top of my head whose stories I still remember more vividly than most of the films I've seen this year, with...

Personally, I enjoyed this review, though I'm not planning to base any decision on seeing the movie on it. I was excited about the idea when I first saw the trailer months ago, but my enthusiasm has waned. Having not said the movie, I want to comment on the endless comments along the lines of...

Not to mention a homunculis, though perhaps that makes more sense than the mushroom people. Either way, I appreciate Zak's seemingly endless collection of badass minis. Also, while I will continue to miss Justine, Gia seems pretty funny and lively so far, so I'm interested to see more of her...

When I saw that the preview image for this episode was one of Justine waving, I was afraid this would be her last one. Damn. I've really been smitten with her (though everyone who is a part of this show is great). Can't wait to see how the next contender fares/adjusts to the mayhem. Keep up...

I've never heard of that term before, but it's pretty fascinating. Not as fascinating as Felicia Day, though. I see nothing wrong with her eye sockets, she's just plain lovely.

In the area of Ohio where I live, there's this truly awful commercial for an indoor garden supply store. Behold the last 15 seconds of it, and weep like I do every time I see it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rfrnuulCjU I also don't really like the esurance ads with the animated...
