JEFF (MY BROTHER): So I saw that you had good things to say about New Normal and Go On in your column this week. ME: Well, sorta. They’re both uneven. Comedies generally don’t bust out of the gate on all cylinders, you know? Like, you can tell when a show is just going to suck, […]

Another open letter to Rob Ford
Posted by MGK Published in Canadian Politics, Politics, The InternetsDear Mayor Rob Ford: Recently, Sue Edworthy wrote a thoughtful and friendly letter to you. It was a thoroughly positive letter, given that it was written in response to you skipping out on an executive meeting of city council so that you could go coach football.

If I could find a way to see things straight I’d run away
Posted by MGK Published in Comics, I Should Write Dr. StrangeThere’s an invisible prison, with invisible walls Invisible cells and invisible bars. On Wednesdays you’re allowed to exercise Under invisible guards’ watchful eyes. It’s not just a metaphor for mental illness, you see. Like most metaphors, it’s borne from something quite real.

Some Thoughts on City of Heroes
Posted by John Seavey Published in Gaming, General Nerd Crap, General Nerd Shit, The InternetsI was at DragonCon last weekend when I found out that City of Heroes is being closed down. (I was also at DragonCon last weekend when I was supposed to be making last week’s post, which is why, along with some boring work-related stuff, you haven’t heard from me in a while. But I digress.)

The WWE, for all its flaws, is generally a company I think of as having a good visual sense when it comes to their product. They aren’t selling iMacs.

Nerd metaphor to make cunning point
Posted by MGK Published in Books, General Nerd Crap, The InternetsSo this admittedly funny post is circulating around the internets, and while people are arguing whether or not Jimmy Carter is underrated (dude was Navy) or betting on whether Teddy Roosevelt or Andrew Jackson is the biggest ringer, the one thing they all mostly agree on is that Obama would get killed early on because […]

In email zzzThunk says First off, let me start by saying I like Al’Rashad. I enjoy it every week. But here’s what I don’t get: I know you’re capable of writing more sizzling dialogue than what makes it onto those pages. (It’s not bad dialogue at all, but…) You’ve shown us all that before, so […]
