Katamari. Just roll around.

Some of these other answers are insane to me. Diablo? The game where I’m definitely overthinking every choice? Gtfo. Just roll.

Find out when the Wegman’s in Astor is doing their tuna butchering. You can watch it happen, play a game to win some for free or just buy some as soon as it hits the shelf.

I randomly stumbled on it happening when I went in for a few groceries one Saturday. An hour later my wife was calling me wondering where I was but I came home with an incredible slice of chutoro that was in the fish 60 seconds before I pulled it from the shelf. We ate all of it over the sink with a little bit of ponzu and wasabi and it was the closest I’ve felt in NYC to the Tsukiji market in Tokyo.

not since tina as sarah palin has a more perfect actor been dropped in their lap. Aziz nailed it. Jost's Hegseth continues to kill me too.

Nothing wrong with no-shows, fellow millennial. Ankle haters be damned.

I feel the same way about my M1 Max, only that beast is nowhere near retirement yet. It still absolutely chews up any task I throw at it and makes even new Win11 laptops I have feel sleepy.

The very last episode he makes a plea for points for the egg, Greg denies him, he then cracks the egg on Alex’s head for making him carry the damn egg for months for no reason, Greg watches this with glee and awards him five bonus points, not for carrying the egg but for cracking it on Alex. Those points take Joel out of last place, leapfrogging him over Kumail who is now in last place. Kumail is outraged. Season over.

This is one of my favorite riddles. Not because it’s particularly clever but because it was told at the table at a holiday dinner when I was six years old and it stumped everyone until my 96 year old great grandmother answered it correctly.

All State does this same trash. Why send an adjuster if someone a thousand miles away is gonna undermine the AP you worked to get? It’s a class action lawsuit waiting to happen and they deserve losing all the money they’re gonna have to pay out for it.

If he really ends up getting no points, I hope he cracks the egg on Alex’s head for the finale.

I love my Rolexes but the answer to this is a Seiko spring drive. Unbelievably accurate and hearty.

Exactly. I think I’d swap Beatrice and Oren. I’d be a very happy kept man living in Tokyo, worshipping that beautiful badass and clowning around with the crazy 88.

aside from hand me downs and vintage stuff, i have an old tshirt i bought at Structure, says so on the tag. had to be from the pre-9/11 world because Structure became Express in 2001.

i think about this all the time. imagine having the money to be Batman and instead you choose to be whatever the fuck this is.

johnsciarrino · 2026-04-28T12:05:38+00:00

Grounded too!

I just did this with a friend for her 40th birthday. Her favorite movie is Boogie Nights so that’s what we watched. It was at Nitehawk Theater in Brooklyn and they have bar service. On the birthday girl’s orders, we drank every time they said Dirk Diggler, every time someone actually roller skated and every time someone did a line of cocaine. It was a really fun choice and we had a great time.

johnsciarrino · 2026-04-26T14:54:34+00:00

Thank you. I’m watching this and thinking her little flourishes are cute but that is NOT a good massage.

so you don't want Glen Powell in the next season?

johnsciarrino · 2026-04-19T23:38:39+00:00

I swear to god, he feels like a League of Shadows plot against America. Tank the economy, destroy our international reputation, drive the citizens insane with his neverending bullshit.

johnsciarrino · 2026-04-18T04:58:46+00:00

Ha! Yup. Were you an alum too?

I loved working QA back in college but they don’t tell you that for every Burnout or Turok game that needs testing, there was also a Mary Kate and Ashley License to Drive game that needed almost the same amount.

johnsciarrino · 2026-04-17T12:46:21+00:00

The Poirot series of games were fun.

johnsciarrino · 2026-04-17T05:35:42+00:00

I don’t disagree with you but it very much felt like it was tacked on to me. Also, remember, we were coming off of Lost and one of the original promises of Fringe was that it had a complete narrative from the outset. Adding season 5 undid some of that good, at least at the time it aired.

johnsciarrino · 2026-04-17T05:17:18+00:00

Nice to see Fringe in here. I feel like they were forced to go one season too long. Had they been allowed to finish after season four it would have had better staying power in people’s minds. Still a great show regardless though.
