Sun, 04 May 2008 22:50:38 +0000 http://www.peacemakergame.com/blog/?p=86#comment-19599 It's interesting that the word "interesting" has become a catch-all word these days, that can alternately mean, "nebulous," "undefined," "potentially good," "potentially bad," "our last hope for relevance" and "we don't know what the hell this is about." And, occasionally, I guess it can mean "interesting" in the classic non-Web 2.0 sense, but the movie business has already been appropriating it as a synonym for "I don't really like it but I'm trying to be polite in case we can continue to do business" for years now. You guys are nowhere close to passing the novelty phase yet. I wish you no ill will, but get over yourselves.

However, a quick correction: we're just "The AV Club" and are in no way affiliated with The Onion's AV Club. We realize it's easy to confuse the two, and apologize. Also, I'm personally a big fan of PtN and don't think it is likely at all for it to make you, or anyone else, kill puppies. Thanks for the link.
