Is the next video late or am I early?

Wow, that's quite a leap. My understanding of her argument was that video games are a reflection of cultural biases within our society. Which is actually a valid point when you think about it. But the sphere of influence that video games have over human populations is far more opaque and has to...

Fine, but there's no reason people's opinions should be taken seriously or considered. Take any other creative medium - music, for example: what if people demanded of (say) Metallica that their latest album should have "more acoustic parts". Wouldn't we think them to be absurd? Or how about...

Look, this is not your story, and it should not be tailored to what you personally want. This is someone else's work, and they can put whatever bloody protagonist they like in it. That really should be the end of the discussion. You don't have the right to demand that the characters in other...

Honestly, I think the purpose of life it a distraction from the inevitability of death. Thinking about existence in this way is almost guaranteed to result in circular conclusions (what would have happened if I were never born? What's it like to not exist? etc.) so we ignore it, and distract...

Funny thing about science is that it trumps what most people consider to be "common sense". The idea of something from nothing might defy your common sense, but common sense should be shaped by observation, not contrary to it. And observation has shown, not only the plausibility, but the high...

"meaning", as most people use it, is a misnomer. There is no objective meaning, and life has no intrinsic value. But this does not invalidate our own subjective meaning - which is what we personally get out of life. People fail to distinguish the two, and often assume that the absence of one...

I know how you feel; I've the same feeling. The cessation of consciousness is a horrible thought. But, after a year or two, I barely notice it. You just grow used to the feeling, I guess, and it subsides; fades into the background of your psyche. You never lose it, but over time it stops...

Well I live in Australia, and it's unlikely anything is going to get this far unless the Japanese are looking for revenge. However, if it did, and I managed to survive the initial onslaught, I'd actually be tempted to enlist. Seriously - if the threat of total annihilation is as serious as...

Halo 2 (Xbox) Silent Hill 2 (Ps2) Bioshock (Xbox 360) Stanley Parable (PC) And I haven't owned enough platforms to put a fifth game here, unless I put Crash Bandicoot on my list, and that won't happen. If i could allow duplicates I'd place Portal 2, Assassins Creed 2, killer7, Spec Ops The...

I love to compare this to the Demon's Souls review from a few years back

Very very good point. This is incidentally the problem with the feminist movement of today, which claims special rights in the name of equality.

If we are striving for true equality, then men can be offended just as women can. What's the difference? If the sexes are equal, there should be no question on this front.

Because I hate bad films, and I especially hate when said bad films are revered by many. I come here to speak my opinion, and to justify it. As for feeling sorry, I don't see why. Theres nothing special about Superman; it's just another average superhero franchise.

I don't care much for superman. Amen to that. Although I have to say: 3rd worst film? I'd have to say worst film of this year.
