What dark things did you learn?

[eegah]

Zombies will agree to a fair duel with weapons chosen by their potential victims, instead of just blindly attacking them.

I learned that one of the actresses is now a regular on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta."

Well, except the guy with the bow, they were pretty ineffective witht he weapons they had. And again APPARENTLY THEY DON'T HAVE POWERS! Seriously, they were built up as all powreful magical sorcerers and then they didn't do shit.

[TriffRax]

I learned that Carpeted Bathrooms were a thing in the 80s in the Southeast

Hell, I coulda told y'all that for nothing.

[Miku Fan]

I learned that a mush-mouthed, grizzled geezer mumbling power lines while he cracks a whip is kind of lame.

Didn't see "Crystal Skull" did you?

No. But, I need to now.

No. No, you really don't.

[Keighvin]

What is this "Crystal Skull" thing you speak of? I have never heard of it. I am sure that it doesn't exist.

Also, I learned Lash LaRue existed.

[CJones]

Also, I learned Lash LaRue existed.

I asked my dad earlier today if he'd ever heard of Lash LaRue. He said "Sure, he was in a bunch of kiddie westerns when I was a kid." My dad is 73.

Coeds who need to study are most bothered by disruptive parties 15 minutes after they disperse, and they demand peace and quiet after they already have it.

The prefered Totec combat tactic is to first engage in close-range grappling with the target, while a second warrior fires indiscriminately with a ranged weapon.  It sounds unreasonably dangerous, but proves effective enough when employed by zombies against unarmed targets.

One Totec zombie was a fan of He-Man's look, though he prefered dual hatchets to the power sword.

MKB still can't be bothered to do basic research about Gamergate.  That joke was as cringeworthy as if they had made the wrongfully-accused frat the butt of the UVA joke, instead of Rolling Stone.

Looking for integrity in riffing? 

[kunedog]

Heh, not so much.  Riffers aren't corrupt journalists, and (IMO) they're unlikely to declare their own customers "dead."  In fact, I bet they could really do a number on that Law & Order SVU episode . . .

The whole "dead" thing was about the classic demographic of gamers being dead (white male 15-30). Since gaming is more diverse now it no longer applies.

[kunedog]

But that demographic isn't dead, and it's not what "gamer" ever meant anyway.  The term "gamer" just means someone who's enthusiastic about playing video games, so it was already inclusive (see #notyourshield).  And it definitely wasn't Gamergate that was obsessed with attaching race/gender/whatever to it (or anything else).

All that (and the collusion) goes a long way toward explaining the near-universally negative reaction to those articles, and their failure to distract from the scandal.  Plus we've already fought (and defeated) such a moral panic twice before: in the 90s with Mortal Kombat, and the 00s with Jack Thompson.

Jack Thompson technically defeated himself, though.
