Returning to change my signature has been nauseating, and makes me more confident in my decision to get the hell out. I realize now just how good my stay away from the community has been for me. My email has been scrubbed and my Nuke-kun Skype has been decommissioned. Evageeks was a wonderful part o...

I'm leaving on my grand summer adventure and I don't anticipate being back for some time. At the least I will be gone until the end of July. At the most, permanently-- though I doubt that is likely, as promising never to return somewhere assumes that I will never have reason to return, which is fool...

I'm not sure where the whole misogyny complaint came from. I haven't heard anyone specifically say "I hate this movie because chicks are in it instead of dudes." In fact, many people I've talked with wanted to see the movie do well, and were disappointed that the trailer wasn't funny. YT ...

Oh, what a hot mess. What's going on with this reboot?

If the machine won't even turn on, it's a problem with the power. If it turns on but doesn't do anything, it could be a bad hard drive, bad memory, bad GPU... take it in somewhere and get it looked at.

Critique is a tremendous part of the arts, much more so than many other industries. Speaking as someone who has a deep family background in entertainment, that commentary is the kind of post that I believe should be encouraged, not disparaged. Style is something that varies incredibly among artists,...

Weezer's Pink Triangle. There's something about it that I just find calming when I'm buried in work.

Japan offices are closed for Golden Week, meaning I can't send any more emails or questions about the summer program that I'm doing. Normally this wouldn't be a problem since I don't even leave for Japan until the end of the month, but I have to make the choice of what I'm leaving behind in Massachu...

(as to why it's hamfisted: all the Chinese rocket ultimately does is send a batch of supplies into Earth orbit. There are any of a number of nations that can do that on very short notice, which means China's involvement is by no means a necessity.) Would it have been hamfisted for any other nation ...

From what I've read, the Chinese Space Administration being involved in the rescue was in the original book, and not a result of Studio Mandates changing the source material to appease the Chinese Audience (like In the case if World War Z, or yes Transformers 4.) How does that matter? The studios a...

I don't think it should, but I don't know if it will. We might have to wait and see.

It is possible to think the new Ghostbusters film looks terrible without being the sort of misogynistic character that some corners of the internet like to superimpose over people airing their grievances with the film. (Good lord, I sound cynical today.) The hate that some choose to direct towards t...

Watched episodes four and five. The tone hasn't changed all that much-- it's still got that wacky, full speed all the time vibe working for it. I don't feel like I'll get tired of it because of how short the episodes are. 24 minutes of this would be an ordeal, but I quite like it in these seven-minu...

Last bit of my plan for the summer fell into place today. I present to you Nuclear Lunchbox's Summer Adventure. May 5th: Finish final exams. Spend five days with some relatives in Boston. May 10th: Fly to Israel on the birthright program. (For those of you who don't know what that is, Jews between 1...

Wonderful, now I don't have to worry if I want to blaze it during finals week. /joke

Silly Brik, only white people can be accused of -washing.

Silly Tarnsman! Don't you know that only white people are interchangeable? That was snarky of me, I acknowledge. It is, however, a dig at that people (read: the loudest ones) only seem to care about casting choices that are based primarily on external ethnicity when it comes to people who aren't whi...
