I find it mildly amusing how desperate the narator is to avoid the term 'religion'. People don't march in the streets holding placards that read "FREUD HATES GAYS!" Freud didn't invent any of this; all he did was provide a pseudo-scientific justifacation for it. So why blaim him for it - to the...

"After all the philosophy behind laws protecting free speech is protecting it from suppression from government, not by other citizens." And you were doing so well... For one thing, THIS IS NOT THE TIME OR PLACE to soap box about your political views on an unrelated subject. But since...

To which my answer is: How much would it have cost to make (say) Spirited Away or How To Tame Your Dragon in live action? We could start by comparing the budget of a live action and low SFX film like Fellowship Of The Ring with a 90% CGI film like Avatar. And the answer is... $93M vs $280M...

So, judging by the trailers... One side is almost entirely white, with one or two exceptions, and the other side is almost entirely black, with one or two exceptions (orange in their case) and they are all fanatical racist a*seholes - with a handful of exceptions on both sides. Uh huh. Why the...

What a massively unintentional racist. Almost hilariously so, but you know, not because of unintentional racism. It really was more than a little repulsive to watch a white american focus so heavily on how the Internet 'is bad' because it might possible have had some negative impacts on some...

"Action-Packed with features! Just like the Real Thing! Full-Colour Sound and Slam-Vector(TM) Graphics! Suitable for IBM PC, Atari, Amegia, Pineapple, Amstrad, Nintendo. Actual game shots taken from a version you haven't brought." - Only You Can Save Mankind, Terry Pratchett, 1992 It's been...

I'd be interested how this plays out in europe, where that recent court case said people are allowed to resell software. It's not been confirmed for games yet, but Microsoft probably doesn't want to be caught in a position where it has to turn off some of its DRM via patching sometime in the...

Objectification of men does exist in games, it's just not of the physical variety. Speaking as someone who actually has a broken leg right now, serious injuries aren't fun. They are painful, damaging, potentially crippling or lethal, and if you're lucky to survive recovery is long, slow, also...

People who fail physics, engineering, psychology, economics, and ####ing geography this badly should not be allowed to make movies. 1) You can only build something like that in orbit if you hae endless cheap energy. 2) If you have endless cheap energy, you will never again have a water...

I'm going with the Borg as well. Mostly due to the whole eaten alive thing from the inside out thing. And fundimentally, the Borg are actually about a technological threat to us. The Cylons? Not so much... My problem with the Cylons as a concept, is that anytime you try and explain why...

Let's have a look at internet: Jurassic Park. Because cloning is a thing now. Toy Story. Because computers are a thing now. (Simpsons? ST TNG? Anime entering the west?) The Matrix doesn't count because it's not set in the 90s? Really? By that logic, Hotel Rwanda does count, because it is...

How about Omni Consumer Products, as at least in the top 5? ED-209? Completely useless. No safety features. Terrible IFF. Can be hacked by a small child. Robocop line? 80% failure rate. Including a civilian massacre because they used a psycho's brain. Other products include Sunblock-2000...
