We Appreciate Your Kandor The last thing you want to do is leave your feelings for your favorite boss all bottled up. Hey, boss. Have you got a minute for your, uh, “favorite employee”? Heh.

Today is National Coffee Day, which we’re assured is a 100% legitimate holiday and not just something cooked up in a Starbucks marketing department somewhere, and baristas everywhere are celebrating by…well, by being forced to work even harder to accomodate all the mooches wanting their free cup of coffee. But is coffee all it’s cracked […]

Copywriting’s A Dangerous Gig Xoom, Xoom, Xoo… wait, what do you mean by “That’s someone else’s jingle,” huh? Can you own music, man? Can you own the sky? What lawyer’s gonna come down from some crazy magic dreamland and tell me I can’t sing, man? I got a song in my head and I want […]

Soda (and it’s close cousin, junk food) and video games have a long, not-so-proud history together.

This weekend, a man is leaving television. A man who did many things in his life, and yet, will always be remembered for essentially filling time. A man who saw what was a traditionally serious niche and said “No! I’m going to bring humor instead! But not edgy humor that could offend people! Instead I’m […]

Grill is my Copilot Oh sorry honey, the passenger seat’s actually taken by Cobb Portable Stainless Steel Grill & Smoker. You’ll have to sit in the back… “What are you talking about?” Well, you know, I was thinking, your mother’s house is a two hour drive, and they’re expecting us there at around noon. Well, […]

Every Tuesday, we ask Jeopardy! know-it-all Ken Jennings to blow our minds by debunking a cherished myth that “everybody knows” — even though it’s dead wrong.

Bizarroballs Far away, in an office on a planet that looks a lot like ours, except with corners… “Bad morning, Kram. Me must have listen with you!” “OK, Asil. Me am your supervisor, so me must do everything you say.” “Lower management have issues with your performance. Say you too productive at work.” “What me […]

Those of us who came of age as the game industry was being born, we know how to forgive a lot.

But even […]
