THIS WEEK ON Justified: The Devil You Know
We rejoin Justified with Devil and a man named Tanner having a conversation about a meeting. Quickly its revealed that Quarles is the man Devil is here to meet. Quarles is working his way through the local thugs, so it was only a matter of time he got to Devil. Quarles offers Devil a fast track to the big time.
I’ll give Quarles his due. The man can talk. He sells Devil on the concept of killing Boyd faster than you can blink. Fathers in the greater Lexington area, watch your daughters, Quarles is in town and he’s about to charm the panties off them.
‘Skyrim’ Has Shipped Over 10 Million Units, Average PC Playtime Is 75 Hours. Hell Yeah.
Maybe I’m losing it, but I consider Skyrim rather special. What may have previously been considered only a dorky fantasy game thwacked the gaming cultural consciousness over the winter, ripping the season away from Battlefield Warfare: Covert Ops for the first time in years. It generated memes, produced sprawling personal stories, and was fun as fuck. So I love hearing monuments to its success.

Making it apparent at this time that the movie exists only as “Oh yeah something we’re going to do. It’ll be neat.” And oh yeah!, Prometheus sequel possibilities.
