but the first thing I thought was, "damn, that one Jonathan Coulton song is going to be really confusing whenever he performs it now." Seriously, though, it's sad that he's dead but I'm happy to reflect that he had the kind of full, accomplished life for which we all hope.

Agreed—she was a good 75% of why I even liked the game. And my Shepard looked the same, although Jen Hale herself is an early-middle-aged pretty white lady, which would be fine with me as far as action film stereotype-breaking. I can't remember the last time we've seen that kind of thing since Sigourney Weaver herself .

PirateGram just takes your money and runs, is the problem.

I wanted to find a nice middle ground between lovers who like to send affection to one another on Valentine's Day and cynics who just want to dress in black and stab bitches, so a few years ago I started a charity at Swarthmore College called NinjaGram. It's pretty simple. You pay us $3, which goes to some charity or other, and fill out a card with a cute logo, and then shadowy assassins stalk your target on 14 February and surprise them with the card when they least expect it, screaming "NIIIIINJAGRAM!" Classes and events get interrupted a lot on Valentine's Day, but the administrators and faculty and public safety officers buy and receive as many as the students do, and besides who wants to argue with ninjas? This Valentine's Day, black is the new pink.

The Army dropped the ball on a great opportunity to call this new technology a "thinking cap."
