Six Comedians We Wish Would Return to Standup
I've always rejected the idea that standup comedy is useful as merely a stepping stone to other things (movies, a sitcom, writing gigs). In my opinion, it’s as noble a final destination as any other. That’s what made Seinfeld documentary Comedian so refreshing to watch — a legendary, insanely-wealthy comic heading enthusiastically back into the standup fray, while a virtual no-name claws and screams as he tries to escape it. That’s not to say that a successful standup shouldn’t venture out into other areas. Here are a few comedians that are overdue for a return to the stage: Jim Carrey His recent return to SNL was a tease — offering an all-too-brief glimpse back inside the mind of a comic genius that has for the most part been wasted for a decade. Maybe he’s lost his spastic comic edge. Adam Sandler A lot of people probably don’t remember him from his days in standup. Eddie Murphy Michael Richards We all know what happened the last time he took the stage in a comedy club. Drew Carey

Gamer's Heaven and Hell
Yes, I realize that BioWare made both lists. For the same thing. If you've ever played a BioWare game, then you know what I'm talking about. This is actually a takeoff of an old joke: Heaven is Where the Police are British, the Chefs are Italian, the Mechanics are German, the Lovers are French and it's all organized by the Swiss. I've never been to Europe, so for me the joke is as true as the European stereotypes on which it's based.

How To Tell You Sucked At Video Games in 2011
by Brian Altano & Andrew Goldfarb December 14, 2011 2011's biggest blockbuster games kind of kicked our asses. We fell off cliffs in Uncharted 3, had our squads blown to bits in Battlefield 3 and were burned to death by lava in Super Mario 3D Land. That's right, even though we're supposed to be pros, we aren't afraid to admit that we sucked at video games in 2011. Getting shot in Uncharted 3 is common. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's single-player campaign is jammed with wave after wave of deadly soldiers and highly scripted, dangerously explosive action sequences...if you can manage to stay alive through it all. By putting you in control of the caped crusader, Batman: Arkham City allows you to glide across wide expanses, take on dozens of thugs singlehandedly, master sophisticated weaponry and defeat some of the world's most notorious criminals. Super Mario 3D Land Die enough times on a single level in Super Mario 3D Land and you'll be gifted with a magical Tanooki leaf.
11 Stupid Legal Warnings&
This is going to blow your mind, so steady yourself: A carton of eggs could potentially have eggs in it. Yes. Now you know the shocking truth. It's OK, we'll give you a minute to let it sink in ... The exact wording of this flabbergasting pronouncement on a carton of eggs is: "This product may contain eggs." That's by far not the only wacky warning out there. America's lawsuit-obsessed society has forced product manufacturers to cover their you-know-whats by writing warning labels to protect us from ourselves.
