Are you sure about Giant Bomb? AFAIK Jess, Jason, and Bailey were all laid off by Fandom. The GB crew even spoke about being caught off-guard both times, and how bad they thought those layoff decisions were.

Cheers. Every weeknight, walking down the hallway to the sound of “Making your way in the world today takes everything you’ve got…”

I think it’s because they’re quoting her use of the word. But I agree it’s almost indistinguishable from scare quotes when used around a single word like that.

Lio. Another comic strip.

“Poothie” was right there.

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. Supposedly a lung infection caused by inhaling very fine volcano dust. Technically invented by a group of word puzzle fans, but it’s appeared in dictionaries.

Everyone pokes fun at that number, but it was about planning for every possible scenario, including getting trapped in orbit for much longer than planned. Think about the astronauts stranded by Boeing right now. Should’ve been 1 week, and now it’s looking like 8 months.

It doesn’t help that the first half of season 5 is the worst part of the series(well, barring Day of the Dead). It took ages for me to push through that, but the rest was a satisfying conclusion.

There are way more rings than that, and they’re actually the best parts of the game. It gets so much worse in the levels without rings. Awful combat, terrible puzzles, inconsistent framerate, and thoroughly unclear objectives.

Oh, and everyone’s favorite: escort missions!
