Greetings Kotaku-eers, and welcome to a mid-week open thread. I hope you have had a good week, and are not too stressed about upcoming holiday travel. Just remember: they’re only in-laws. They can’t legally kill you.
Here are some conversation-starters and other random bits and bobs from the internet:
An excellent ’80’s Dating Montage – Oh, man. To have dated in the ’80s.
Some incredible guitar playing from Botsuana – Goes to show, accepted technique doesn’t always lead to the best music!
Ron Swanson bust spotted in a Mission Taqueria – Is this like seeing Jesus in your refried beans? Yes, it is.
Hugely respected (by me) TV Critic Alan Sepinwall lists the best 10 returning shows of 2011 – What a list! Especially #1. Also, watch Justified if you don’t, it’s a hoot.
Chris Pratt is talking about being in Hurt Locker director Kathryn Bigelow’s next film – Speaking of Parks & Recreation, and awesome things.
You’ve heard of “Shit Girls Say?” Watch this. – Because it is amazing.
Woman dies in rare elevator accident in NY – Woof. That is a drag.
Here is 90’s power-pop band Jellyfish playing “Joining a Fan Club” – This is the best song!
And that’s what I got. Have good chatting!
