Death Awaits in This Week’s Good-Ass Games at Good-Ass Prices
Damn, y’all still trying to get these deals? Far be it from me to stop you from saving money. Personally, your boy spent way too much money on Steam’s Black Friday sale. I mean, you can’t expect me to not buy all the Deus Ex games for 10 bucks. Or all the O.G Tom Clancy…

The Joker's Plan in The Dark Knight Was Dependent on Expected Brutality From a 'Good' Cop
The success of The Joker’s numerous schemes in The Dark Knight is dependent on a medley of greed, corruption, stupidity, and mostly collective late-stage astigmatism.

Ask Agatha: Her Friends and Family Hate Me (but I Kinda See Why), Superhero Sex and More
Austin from Pittsburgh asks: Why do people, so often, take an instant dislike to me? I assume it saves time. Kafui from Stone Mountain, Ga., asks: What are the biggest mistakes guys make on dates?

Ask Agatha: "Help! I'm Dating A One Minute Man!" And Why You Should Never Date A DJ
Laila from Pittsburgh, PA asks: I love him but the sex is trash. Since we stopped using condoms, he’s done before I even settle on the bed properly. And he’s usually rearing to go again pretty quickly but he doesn’t last much longer the second time either. This can’t be life. Miss Agatha, help me…
