The rumor was that Dislike was en route to Facebook, but I don't think that was ever an authentic option and would corrode the service. It was eventually determined that Liking Things wasn't sufficiently granular, and so there are a raft of New Likings being rolled out. Except they're missing a few key inflections that apply to ninety-nine point four percent of posts.

The full strip and its accompanying postito go out later this month to members, and becoming a member is incredibly easy and is also rad for too many reasons to enumerate here, which is why there's a whole page dedicated to it. I think this one is pretty Goddamn good:

Motherboard merely joins a raft of sites which have, over the last couple years, removed the ability for users to comment on their articles. It's funny; the first thing I did was scroll to the bottom of the page to see what people thought about it. There was no comment section there, which I probably should have guessed. Force of habit.

Tearaway is a game that came out awhile back on the Vita and I loved it. I’m playing through the PS4 version now and it’s even better in a lot of ways. It’s still a ridiculously beautiful platformer with some genuinely unique gameplay but it also has a really cool second screen application now. If you have kids in your house this is seriously something you have to try because they will love it. Let me tell you how it works.

The HBO extras contract for Westworld is fascinating reading, and gives one an idea about what it must be like to have sex with a lawyer. The excerpts you've seen online only represent a portion of the depravity: there are deeper, more erogenous zones.

Today's First Fifteen was a train wreck of a game, but I think it made for a funny show:

Because art is the main way you manipulate Gabriel into doing what you want game-wise, he's always been a big fan of Tearaway. Also, he owns a Vita, and those with Vitae are forever on the prowl for an excuse to use them. Except that a Vita is no longer required to play it now, because there is a remake of it for the PS4 called Tearaway Unfolded that has its phasers set to "charm." Gabriel was telling me about how it works with such glee that I suggested we should skim and then refine that glee for your use.

As my psychic aperture widened to encompass all, I realized that Gabriel was actually super gross.

This was the conversation I had with Gabriel on his birthday, and we have rendered it for your consumption. He's basically impossible to buy things for, it's a tremendous pain in the ass, but I have learned and thus absorbed an undulating truthwave: that you may purchase a gift for a father's child and they will react as though you have purchased them two gifts. I secured for his brood the "Guardian," an Anki Drive car, which I am given to understand is a car.

Today's First Fifteen was pretty crazy. I'm not sure I ever would have tried a Godzilla game on my own. We don't pick what we play though. Sometimes that's cool. Other times it's...less cool.

I’ve had the opportunity to play both Disney Infinity 3.0 and Skylanders Superchargers now. Ideally I think one of these ridiculously expensive games would suck and you could ignore it in favor of the other, but they are both pretty great.

It seems like it's getting more difficult to retain one's identity. Is anyone else getting that impression? It's bad enough that you need to fucks with all your autopay shit and get a new card, but settling on a new identity can be fraught for real. You might want to have one on deck just so you're ready when the inevitable happens. Next time I get "the call," I'm gonna go with Burnaby Swaggler and I'm gonna be super into teak. Yeah, I mean the wood.

A note, which is secondary to the topic of the strip: something is happening with this motherfucker's art. The panels look like they're about an inch deep apiece, and I feel like if I tilted my head to left or right a little bit, I could see behind the characters. I don't know anything about art in general, but I know about his art, and the way he perceives space has been altered.

I got the Anki starter set last Christmas “for my kids” and we’ve had a lot of fun with it over the last year. I saw that the expansion was set to come out and made a tweet to my wife suggesting she get it for me for my Birthday. Then a big box of it showed up at my house a couple days before release. It seems the Anki folks saw my tweet and found out where I lived.

The office I share with Gabrickle always manifests certain properties, certain ratios, which are designed to retain a configuration we have deemed holy. At every turn we have endeavored to replicate Apartment 26 on the off-chance that it was the apartment that was responsible for all of this and not something we did. There is a couch and our desks and a television arranged in accordance with the mysterious weft of the universe.

For a long time, you could make the case that - no matter the role - that Nolan North was basically playing Nolan North. Because this is the Internet, I have to append this suffix; I'm not even saying this is a bad thing. I like Nolan North. I mean, I don't know him, but I like his whole thing. Nolan North as the Ghost in Destiny though is a sometimes energetic, sometimes fragile, always a little nervous thing. It's great. He also has the best line in the new Destiny, at least from my perspective.
