Really fun edition, Christian! t-tests & Guinness, Rogue ASCII game (I've got to play this!), RPG Metal Moorcock Music, and one of my favorite childhood movies - "Cloak & Dagger". R.I.P Dabney Coleman.

Lot's of great stuff in this one, Christian! For a more recent Michael Moorcock inspired song, I highly recommend "Victims of Fate" by Smoulder, with a voice over introduction by Mr. Moorcock himself. It's on their amazing Violent Creed of Vengeance album from last year.

Just started a Statistics course in my graduate course and this is becoming very familiar. I’d like to bring use this as an open discussion and see where it goes. Thank you for the share and I have subscribed for further reads. Thank you, again!

I hadn't heard of Rogue, but spent many hours in my youth, here in the UK, typing in and then playing The Valley: https://crpgaddict.blogspot.com/2014/03/game-142-valley-1982.html?m=1

I also hated Reality Bites at the time, but re-watched recently, and it plays now like an absolute indictment of that privileged mentality rather than a celebration of it. So it's aged a little better, and the post-credits coda of "the film of the film" is more on the nose. Ben Stiller's character is still the most sympathetic one, which is quite the feat considering that as an actor, IMO, he has since aged into becoming the most insufferable of the primary leads

Of course, not everything I saw this week was as sophisticated. There's also Big Shark, which will never, ever be on anyone's "supposed to like" list, save its director's.

I'll have to add that review to the post. I love it when you are published in AV Club.
