Also, Franz Ferdinand are a good band. Oh, and Scotland gives us actors like Gerald Butler, James McAvoy, Karen Gillan, Robert Carlyle and most importantly Denis Lawson (because Wedge Antilles rules). Not to mention all that delicious whiskey. In fact, Scotland has been pretty good to the...

You're missing the point of those standardised measurements. They're not standardised because some guys got together and just decided to make it so. They're standardised because they should be easily and accurately reproduced each time you need to reference the standard measurement. Consider...

Err, when you get into engineering you use the metric system, because the whole concept of Engineering Notation is based around the metric system. Every order of magnitude is represented by a factor of 1000 on the previous one. nano (n) is 0.000000001 or 10e-9 in scientific notation...

If you're looking to play multiplayer at all, I'd say CnC Generals: Zero Hour and/or CnC 3. Generals (and you must play it with the Zero Hour expansion) is not actually a part of the proper Command and Conquer universe, but it is a really solid RTS that has great multiplayer. Command and...

Oh, victim shaming certainly happens everywhere. The difference though is that a murder is a murder and my expectation, based on my observation of how society deals with murder, is that the murderer is going to be convicted by society at large. It's one thing to say "the black/latino victim...

Please understand that I'm not having a go at these posters specifically as individuals, but I just want to say that these kind of comments are very disheartening. There is a very big difference between the depiction of over the top, surrealist murder and torture depicted in these games and...

I remember reading an interview with Rhianna Pratchett where she talked about how she was brought into the project fairly late in it's development, meaning that most of the plot was driven by the level/art/gameplay designers and not the actual writer. She basically had to form a plot around...

I don't think it's mentioned in the games themselves, but Kerrigan kills all the Cerebrates in order to gain absolute control over the Swarm (Brood War/Post Brood War). At some point prior to Wings of Liberty she realises that having the chain of command effectively begin and end with her is...

Why is this even an issue? These major film studios have been getting into bed with private equity firms for years now, in order to make movies. How is using Kickstarter to raise funds for a movie that different from getting private investors to help fund your movie? At the end of the...

I actually liked Dragon Age 2 as well. I certainly agree that it had problems, especially with the encounter design and the overall plot, but I thought it actually had some good things going for it. For starters, the combat mechanics were definitely improved over Dragon Age: Origins. Origins...

Batman, Inc is arguably the 'Big Guns' book though since it's being written by Grant Morrison who's basically dominated the Batman books over the last 6 years. It's essentially the closing chapter in Morrison's grand sweeping Batman saga that started way back in the mid 2000's.

Batwoman is one of the best books DC is putting out imo. The Batwoman ongoing series was one of the launch titles in DC's New52 line. To elaborate on Vault101, Kate Kane's, her sister and her mother were kidnapped by terrorists when she was young. Kate survived, but her sister and mother...

The EU doesn't stop after 40 years, it just timejumps 100 years into the future with the Legacy of the Force comic series (Cade Skywalker and resurgence of the Sith Empire and all that). I don't think it will be related too much to the "current" EU storylines anyway. The Fate of the Jedi...

Dark Samus :< In both Metroid Prime 2 and 3, she gives some of the hardest boss fights.

Maybe try The Secret World. It's sort of an HP Lovecraft MMO with secret societies (Illuminati, Templars etc). It's also free to play, so you only need to buy the game (like $25 on Steam) - it's full of all sorts of ancient mythologies, urban legends and horror tropes tied into real historical...
