Our Man Bashir is one for sure. Move Along Home could be argued for, as that may have been an advanced alien holodeck but if it was malfunctioning or just dramatically ironic is arguable. Similarly Bada-Bing Bada-Bang kinda might count; the holodeck isn’t working as its users intend it to but it is working the way the author intended.
But Star Trek already did a zombie movie: the Enterprise episode Impulse. And more arguably the Voyager episode Juggernaut.
I’ll say that I don’t hate any of those three episodes but they’re also not great for me. They tend to hinge on the fact that their own premises or the established logic and technology of Trek don’t hold - a lot of “oh no those zombies are so strong they ripped those people limb from limb! Oh, but we just fended off a dozen of them hand to hand. We should definitely shoot zombies, but our phasers will run out and for some reason we forgot about the wide beam setting!” And yet we know hand phasers can fire long enough to kill thousands [TOS: Omega Glory]. That kind of thing.
I sent a very cool V7 bouldering route. Took me at least a dozen tries but I’m quite chuffed with myself about it.
Terraria just got another update, so back to Terarria.
That is a lovely cat and a brilliant name.
I adore Nethack; there is so much to discover! Although, most of it is stuff that kills you. My first ascension was with the very reliable human Valkyrie.
He’s only holding one crash cymbal. He’s already messed up.
I’m right with you on both of those things. I just spent more time than is reasonable on a gatehouse over a chasm in foundry, and have a screaming antelope on the shelf next to me that I’m reasonably proud of.
Like many of the comments I had mixed feelings about this trilogy (enjoyed some concepts and large scale plot, disliked some characters and prose and specific plots) but so far no one has mentioned the misogyny. Phew boy the misogyny is front and center in a few places and it’s really jarring and unpleasant.
I like how the sharp part of the batarang is facing the grip part of the bat’leth. Really lets you know it’s a warrior’s weapon.
I actually disagree. The script was a disaster, which you pointed out, but super basic stuff like coherent editing was missing too. There were constant jarring cuts after scenes would end abruptly for no apparent reason. Sound and particularly dialogue mixing was atrocious too, which isn’t a problem unique to BvS (looking at you Christopher Nolan) and doesn’t on its own disqualify a movie from being good, but as part of a whole picture it deserves a mention. The acting was comically bad in many places. Overblown post processing made some scenes look muddy even though that effect worked well for other scenes. A lurching, uneven pace is often more a fault of the director than the script itself, and this movie suffered from it in spades.
I would nominate Batman v Superman as a genuinely bad $200M movie.
It’s likely this station is in the non-commercial band if it used to be a college station - anything below 92 mhz. They’re legally not allowed to have actual commercials but they can run PSAs, membership drives, underwriting, etc due to FCC rules.
It’s almost certainly not a ploy: it’s way more likely the college decided the previous format was too expensive. The college probably decided to lease out their frequency to someone else. The lessee still can’t run commercials (or even operate “commercially,” whatever the FCC decides that means), but it’s very easy to pre-program a music format with all the breaks already slotted in which explains the top 40s and the lack of live DJs. The college therefore reduces their operating costs to nearly zero and they make money from the lease at the same time.
This exact situation happened to my college radio station when I was an undergrad and I hated it too.
Bummer. I’d rather have more Prodigy. It was surprisingly fun.

No such thing as unreasonable with those games because they were brilliant.
Escape Velocity and its sequels.
Sneaking a little B5 in. Does that count? Is that even legal here?
