He also grossly over exaggerated his conquests. Letters written by the women he was supposedly sleeping with talked about him being a doddering but kindly grandfather figure.

Did they have Werther's Originals back then? Edit: no they did not, they were invented in 1909. Kwyndig has a new favorite as of 23:28 on Nov 9, 2022 |

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the best thing to come out of Bioshock Infinite is the tie-in board game, which kicks rear end.

I always thought the joke was he spent tons of money in the Paris brothels, not that he was seducing the upper class women.

There's actually an entire pretty decent video game, The Magic Circle that is basically about the experience of working with Ken Levine as an ambitious director constantly changing story details and even genres. The game's gimmick is that you have to fix and recode the game from the inside because it's a broken mess of different parts.

I assume this is about when Walt’s cover is that Jesse is his pot dealer? That seems perfectly in line with what people like Hank and Marie would earnestly believe.

I haven't read it in years but if I remember in his autobiography he mentions helping a dude out by giving him a place to live but taking the man's wife "for my own pleasure" if I remember the quote correctly.

Was that inspired by Levine? I always thought it was more of a generic "game development and rear end in a top hat directors suck" thing. Also, in that game the rear end in a top hat director is voiced by James Urbaniak, which is both awesome yet somewhat undermines it because I can't help but picture Rusty Venture running a game studio.

Ever since I found out what James Urbaniak looks like IRL from the show "Difficult People" it's made Venture Brothers funnier.

Billy and Pete are basically the two doing caricatures of each other. The comments get into it and lol that there's still Whedon defenders in almost 2023. Something to be said about a guy who literally seeks to be defined as a villain because it allows him to wallow in self-indulgence and domination of his perceived enemies.

The thing about Whedon is that sometimes mediocrities are at least nice people and absolute monsters produce interesting art. He’s got nothing from either case.
