Hopefully the information about the case calls it what it is: sexual harassment. The kid participated in mass sexual harassment of women, he deserves to be taught some respect, and if that means being arrested, then great. Of course, that also means that the media can't just play up that...

Emilie Autumn's "Face the Wall" and "Cold".

It is popular because people like it. The genre is easy to access, different than what most Western audience is used to seeing, and tends to present a long-running series with real character development. But, as a film student, I'm sure you're well aware of the differences between "cliché"...

Canadian. The US is slow.

It's the shameless stereotypying of genders that turns a lot of people off of video games. I've found that there's rarely a happy medium of well-written, well-characterized heroines to keep my interest in games. Jade (Beyond Good and Evil) was awesome-- fought, took initiative, and wasn't...

I think this is the first review that I actually agree with. The excess of visual information for a "bump in the night" story really took me out of the horror element. The pacing was ruined and the only decent thing taken away from it was the overarching dramatic narrative that was pushed to the...

None. They all suck.

Anyone selling anything. Retail is based on lying to the customer to make the bottom line.

Should have just called them "blond space marines," or "teen space marines". Much better usage of the terms and still maintains the negative connotations, right? Hell, the latter even denotes an element of conformity and clique status-- perfect for cookie-cutter games with no narrative content...

I regularly hear "my printer broke" or something related to "technical difficulties". Easiest solution has always been to just make the student I'm dealing with write it out on paper, or accept the automatic failed grade for an incomplete assignment. It helps a TA when the supervising professor...

Misha Collins. Only because he'd troll it himself.

Saw some really amazing ones at FanExpo, and Montreal ComicCon. Then there was DragonCon. So my vote: None of the above in the pre-selected options.

I read a handful of the comics, thought they were boring. You get entertainment from the franchise, good for you. Keep enjoying them, you'll probably enjoy the movie too. I, on the other hand, read some of the Ultimates, some of the older collections my siblings had around, thought the...

While the game was passable as a "ooh, different" sort of thing the first time around, it had absolutely no replay value and wasn't all that challenging. I played, explored, killed the giant things for no reason other than that was what the game told me to do, finished, sold it back. I...
