  • places in oven

    “Honey what’s that awful smell?”

    “Who knows. Probably the neighbor’s leaf blower”

    Five minutes go by

    “It smells like cancer”

    “Maybe they are sealcoating their driveway, I don’t know, stop asking me”

    Twenty five minutes later

    Opens oven

    “Fuck”

    Retching, coughing “Sweet baby Jesus, what the FUCK is that?! Melted plastic? On my new casserole dish?!”

    “Open a goddamn window”

    “Open all the fucking windows”

    “Mommy why is the house stinky”

    “Charlie go play outside”

    “But Daddy–”

    “I SAID GO OUTSIDE CHARLIE”

    from outside “Daddy it smells out here too, the neighbors are doing something black to their driveway”





  • The USSR had great success in many areas

    The PRC struggled during the Great Leap Forward

    You seem to be papering over the part where a shit ton of their own people died, so I don’t think this really works as a pitch. You’d need to find a way to ensure that mass death wouldn’t happen again, and then succinctly express it.

    Mao was only about 70% good

    Anyone who does mass executions is a fucking monster. Probably better to leave this out of the pitch.








  • E3 2004! The HYPEST

    We met Reggie, who’s about kicking ass and taking names.

    And the DS is revealed…and it COMES OUT THAT YEAR?! Whaaaaaa

    I was so hyped. I started saving my pennies right away.

    The multiplayer experience was unbelievable. No cables, no square box thing to play more than 2 players. And you didn’t even need multiple copies of the game! Just all play Mario Kart!

    The thumb strap was a neat idea, but not the easiest in practice. Though I did find it great for aiming in the Metroid FPS game, much better than the stylus.

    And OF COURSE it was backwards compatible!

    Loved it. Beautiful machine. I still have 2 DS Lites that work.






  • Am I the only one who loves the Switch? That the joycons come off and even have their own shoulder buttons is so cool. You can just set it on a table and play some multiplayer Mario Kart, heck yes. And they snap into the ring fit circle thingie! Neat! And the Pro controller is great all around.

    Shout out to the DS Lite. Loved that thing. Gotta have the thumb strap to play that Metroid multiplayer FPS.

    Worst: TI-84. How the hell they still charging over $100 for this thing, when it has less processing power than a Palm Pilot? Seriously the CPU is from 1976. Yeah Bubble Bobble and Block Dude are great, but the Zelda port runs awful.
