    No Right Answer: 90's Cartoon Most Deserving a Reboot

    How was this even a competition? Of course Gargoyles was going to beat SWAT Cats... Now if the debate had been Gargoyles vs EXO-Squad it might have been more interesting.

    Tortured Logic

    I love how Bob starts by talking about journalists who have no grounds to be movie critics because its out of their field, but then goes on to take a stand on whether torture works. He's a movie critic. Does the "good cop" angle work? Yes. But it's part of a routine called "Good cop/Bad...

    Escape to the Movies: Django Unchained

    "HEY! Get outta there, Mumbles!" God, that made my day. It was unexpected, it was accurate, and it was clever... Keep it up Bob.

    That (Also) Almost Happened

    I wouldn't mind a live-action Batman Beyond movie; but if they're going to do it, they need to do it before Clint Eastwood gets too old to play Bruce Wayne.

    A Response to A Bit of the Old Up, Up, Down, Down

    Does Mr Pranger know that the game programmers and designers are not in charge of the box art? "...but that very argument is undermined by the game's cover. When a mature gamer looks at the cover, they probably see what McLauchlan hopes we see: A game that celebrates temptation and features a...

    Marines Desecrate Insurgent corpse, urinate on it

    These guys are dumb. Why let yourself get taped doing this?

    Is this right, or even legal?

    Is it legal? Ask a lawyer, not the Internet. Is it right? Yes. If he had stolen basic sustenance (bread, meat, veggies, water, etc) then most people wouldn't have a problem, because his situation would be taken into account and nothing would come of it. BUT, he did NOT steal a basic...

    Humanity's worst mistake

    The worst thing we've ever done? Eugenics The idea that we, as a people, would try to eliminate "undesirable" aspects of the human species by killing/sterilizing the "unfortunate" members of our society cursed with these aspects is madness and dehumanizing. By the mid-20th Century this...

    Misconceptions of famous people

    I love this thread... The originator does a fine job of citing the source (History Channel) then reporting what they said. From there on, everyone else just brings up whatever crazy crap they've heard from God-knows-where and reports it as fact (some of it is true, some is complete...

    How do you kill zombies in dead island?

    I turn the entire game off, eliminating their entire world from existence... then I play Left 4 Dead 2.

    How Would You Kill Wolverine?

    Strap him to a rocket and fire him into the sun... either the frozen vacuum of space will kill him or the plunge into the sun's corona (where he'll be vaporized) will.

    Best bad horror movies.

    It's been years since I've seen "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes", but I'd consider it a 'must see' if you're into bad cinema.

    5 Best Film Performances of the 21st Century

    OK, someone help me out here. What was SO great about Daniel Day Lewis' performance in "There Will Be Blood"? The man doesn't do too many movies and I tend to think his portrayal of Bill the Butcher in "Gangs of New York" was much better than the oil tycoon in "There Will Be Blood".

    If you could pick ONE game from your past to remake, what would you choose?

    Crap, this thread is too limiting... There are so many games from my past that need a facelift without altering the gameplay. The problem is that once you get back to the NES/Atari 2600 days the core gameplay will fundamentally change with a simple graphical overhaul, or a simple graphic...

    Trailers: Warhammer 40k: Space Marine - "I Am War" Cinematic Trailer

    I'm afraid they are. Codex Chapters do not have to follow the exact force organization chart of the Codex Astartes, but they do structure their Chapter around Roboute Guilliman's guidelines. This means that there will be a Chapter of roughly 1000 Marines divided into 10 companies, the first...
