The Lightbringer gets a lampshade

There are some things that are just doomed to fail.  In one aspect, you feel bad for those things, but in another, more deeply felt way, you pretty much wish you could say to higher ups "Why the fuck did you think this was a good idea?"

Remix, not Remaster

It is my deep, deep, hope that when BioWare does the inevitable re-release of the original Mass Effect trilogy for the X-Box One and PS4 that they take to the opportunity to fix some issues with the original games that I think would open things up and make for a better experience.

Why Bernie Should Stay in the Race

At this point, it looks like a bleak and unlikely road to the nomination for Bernie Sanders. Hillary Clinton's delegate lead isn't insurmountable per se, but the amount of things that he needs to go right to get the delegate lead make it highly unlikely for him. Naturally, the mainstream media is calling for him to quit the race so Hillary can better focus on the national election. But, I say he should stay in precisely because it makes things more difficult for Hillary. Since the primary season started, Hillary's negatives have climbed higher and higher, to the point where her only saving graces are that people hate Drumpf and Cruz even more than they hate her. Now, being hated less than a pseudo-fascist and the Zodiac Killer (page 32 is the relevant page, fyi) isn't really a strong foundation to launch a national campaign for the hearts and minds of voters, and it's exactly this advantage that Bernie should press as the July convention draws closer.
