    Boston Marathon Explosion - Today's Topics: Public Schools

    It's so fucking obvious. Do I really have to explain this!? Clearly the shadow government orchestrating these events has very high standards, standards which Mr. Seth MacFarlane has met by having three mediocre cartoons on FOX. (Three shows... and how many points are there on an Illuminati...

    Mad Men

    I think it was a little more than that. Trudy sends him to live in the city, but also says, "You will be here only when I tell you to be here." My take was that she's kicking him out, but that they're still going to keep up appearances that everything is normal, which fits into the theme of...

    Or she could just drive down to Scranton to visit people. He's not moving her to Egypt. It's literally a little over a 2 hour drive from Philadelphia to Scranton.

    Bioshock Infinite

    Bioshock 2 was made at another studio without Ken Levine's input, so it makes sense that it feels different from the other two.

    Shirley's always been the mother of the group. She's the type that might criticize your actions, but you know she's just trying to look out for you because she loves you. The unfortunate thing is that, as they've reduced her to the point where her religion is her only characteristic, what...

    Revolution

    I don't know whether it's the fact that the show has lowered my expectations this much or just because the episode heavily featured Giancarlo Esposito, but I thought this week's episode was perhaps the best episode the show has had. I especially liked the part with Neville's son, because the...

    The Office

    It is about time they gave Pam a legitimate reason to be upset with Jim other than, "Oh, but I want us to be stuck in these dead-end jobs for the rest of our lives!" However, it annoys me that they are completely glossing over any of her irrationality and piling everything on Jim. Pam talks to...

    Good God, this episode was painful to watch. Also, sort of painful to hear. I'm not sure if it was the same way on television, but the voiceovers for the puppets came across really poorly on Hulu.

    Do You Cheat in Video Games?

    If we're counting things like entering cheat codes in GTA, then yeah, I cheat all the time in single-player games. However, I've never really considered that to be "cheating" per se. I wasn't doing it to make the game easier to beat. I was doing it to make the game somewhat of a sandbox to...

    Hannibal

    I love how they played with our expectations with that scene. Hannibal says, "You've been very rude, Ms. Lounds. What are we going to do about that?" and then it instantly cuts to a scene of Jack's "loin". I'm hoping that, as the show goes on, they move away from the "monster of the week"...

    Mad Men

    The article isn't talking about Donliterallybeing killed off, but the Don Draper identity dying and the rebirth of Dick Whitman. I'm not sure they'll go that far as Don has become far too entrenched in being Don and any change to that would either completely alter the show or strain credulity...

    Breaking Bad

    Let's be honest, if anyone gets out of Walt's mess unscathed, it's going to be Saul. That guy knows how to finagle his way out of any mess, doesn't really have any loyalties aside to himself, and it's been shown he isn't afraid to cut and run when the shit hits the fan. I want an alternate...

    Mad Men

    Yeah, I've never gotten the sense that we'resupposedto root for these people. They are all flawed individuals in their own right, who occasionally become completely morally ambiguous. They're really too complex of characters to constantly be on anyone's side. It sort of reminds me of Six Feet...

    Batman: Arkham Origins

    I loved Arkham Asylum so much that Arkham City was one of the rare games I ended up preordering. Knowing neither Rocksteady nor Paul Dini is involved in this game means I'll wait for reviews on this one. It's unknown what Rocksteady is working on. There were some rumors floating around a while...

    Mad Men

    Which is obviously setting up a lot of how this season is going to go. They're all slowly realizing that the big changes they made (most of them, last season) haven't really changed anything in their lives. They're all just repeating the same cycles they tried so hard to break out of. The...

    Bioshock Infinite

    That's possible, I suppose, but I'm really not a fan of DLC that sticks something into the game you already played. The Mass Effect series did this a couple times, and it just always felt to me like something being shoehorned into the game rather than being added meaningfully, particularly in...

    Hannibal

    I have to say, I'm sold. I think the show was sufficiently creepy enough for what you'd expect from a show that's riding on theThe Silence of the Lambsname. I especially enjoyed the interactions between Will and Hannibal, particularly in how it seems to be that Hannibal either views him to be...

    Bioshock Infinite

    I'll definitely be curious to see what the approach is to the DLC, because there's obviously a lot theycan'tdo due to the constraints of the story. This really doesn't seem to be the type of game that really lends itself to DLC easily. I really can't see having us play Booker in the DLC, and...

    Lucasarts shut down.

    The 3D conversion wasn't the moneymaker LucasFilms was expecting, so it's not really surprising that Disney nixed that, particularly since they wouldn't have been able to get the other five films out before Episode VII is supposed to be released (the original plan was to release one conversion...

    Lucasarts shut down.

    At first I was pretty shocked and disappointed, but thinking about it, what's the last good game LucasArts has developed? It certainly wasn't a recent Star Wars game, and that's pretty much all they've done. The best Star Wars games I can think of in the last decade were developed by BioWare...

    Friends

    Chandler's sarcasm worked much better in an environment of friends that accepted that sort of behavior. Every show I've seen him in since (Studio 60 and Mr. Sunshine) sticks him in a workplace environment where it doesn't translate quite as well. Either he comes across as a dick of a boss or...

    I had pretty much the same. I think I only ever switched one item from what I initially found for each slot and that's only because I found I wasn't using melee as much later in the game.

    Once Upon a Time

    Regina is beginning to feel like Sylar fromHeroes. Though, I do tend to feel that that's why she and Gold are the most interesting characters on the show. There is a lot of explanation to their motivations, so you can understand why they go back and forth. The good characters are just so...

    Mad Men

    I thought last season was fantastic largely because it revolved around Don's ego catching up with him and him realizing he's basically on the path to becoming Roger. It showed him really having to struggle with his career for the first time, which brought out a new side of him. Though, I do...

    FX to launch FXX spin-off channel with Always Sunny/League/Legit/Biased +1

    I think the thing FX/FXX has going for it is that, unlike TBS/TNT, they have a parent company that owns a major primetime network. That presumably means that, until they have a solid enough of a block of original programming, they can either bring a lot of syndicated shows from the past over...

    I do like how they spent the entire first half of the season trying to rescue Danny, and then kill him off the episode right after they rescue him. But, I suppose now that Pretty Boy #2 has defected and will be able to join them, they no longer have room for Pretty Boy #1. Their merry band of...

    Guild Wars 2

    For some people, sure, but I'd argue that there are many impulsive people out there with money to burn. Not to mention, there are still a lot of people the gamehasretained and people still coming fresh into the game, both of which might be tempted to buy stuff from the store.

    Guild Wars 2

    Honestly, I'm not sure the goal is retention for these events anyways, but a way for the game make some money. These events usually coincide with many new items added to the Black Lion Trading Company, most of which are only available for the duration of the event. Some events have also added...

    Guild Wars 2

    There have been some hints towards and April Fool's event next week (something they did in GW1), so there is that to look forward to. I've found the previous events to be some of the best I've seen in MMOs.

    Guild Wars 2

    In my opinion, that's basically the core of the problem with WvW. Most of what is at stake is very superficial. The various Powers of the Mists are all passive and easy to overlook. Aside from that, it's mostly bragging rights, something whose novelty has unsurprisingly worn off over time...
