    Marvel Fans Rejoice: Netflix Renews Daredevil For A Second Season

    I actually think it makes the most sense that Daredevil doesn't kill, he is in the best position to see his enemies as people. He understands the environments that breed them and the basic struggles of living in Hell's Kitchen. So while everyone else just sees the criminals as monsters, Matt...

    Poll: Would you back Yahtzee on Patreon?

    Since I have seen this in a couple comments I want to point out that Patreon has two primary models. The first is the monthly one, that is the one where you give the creator a flat amount a month and you get your reward tier. The other method that I have seen video producers using the per...

    So You've Decided to Watch Law & Order

    It was my favorite too. I liked that the case was the focus and you learned about the characters through small moments every episode made them feel more real. You felt like they really were just people who worked together, not best friends/the only friends each other had. I also like that they...

    Poll: The 12-year old Screaming Kid Myth

    One of the most surreal experiences of my life was when I babysit a 12 year old. We played Call of Duty, all I could think afterward was 'they do exist.' That said I was at least better his mother(points to her for trying to play with him), but CoD and the like are not my usual preference. I...

    Lessons to teach men with absent fathers

    There was a study done that looking at what not having a father figure does: http://muhc.ca/newsroom/news/dads-how-important-are-they It's a good read, and controls for socio-economic levels, granted it does so by using mice....but still I think it is still valid and interesting.

    Movies all females must watch before they die (and come back to life as super scary zombies)

    Girls Just Want to Have Fun(1985): It has this one line that I will always remember, "Let's all hear it for steroids. And now, the news!" I think it still holds up surprisingly well.

    The Flash, Arrow Renewed Early, So Here Is Firestorm's Costume

    It's not really that much of a secret. Remember the CW used to be the WB. They have had a lot of luck with putting this material of on the small screen. The WB was responsible for it's fair share of the DC Animated Universe. Also, despite what people like to say about it, Smallville was a...

    "Romance novels? You mean RACIST novels, Mrs. Smith!"

    It should be noted that "highest grossing" =/= "best payed". "Grossing" refers to how much money the moving itself makes in revenue, and is not necessarily connected to actors's salaries, correlation does not equal causation. He has made quite a few films, and more importantly many have done...

    Nintendo Triumphs Over Two Patent Trolls

    Regardless of how TV remotes and Wii remotes work, the TV remotes' inventor has no case. Patents aren't copyrights, they actually end. The life-span of a patent in the US is ~20 years. After that they are free game. So even if the Wii is using that infra-red technology, it is not actionable...

    Target Audience

    I don't understand how this is morally wrong. Could you please explain? I don't follow your logic.

    If You Can't Take the Heat

    I loved Tabitha's show (Tabitha Takes Over). I think it was because I actually felt like she was fixing core issues and helping people. I think it is that watching her show you got the feel she was actually helping the owners and getting them to be able to run a successful business. She has a...

    I Can Be a Computer Engineer Barbie Sends Girls the Opposite Message - Update

    I disagree strongly that there are a bunch of bad examples. Heck I'd argue that there are a far greater number of good then bad. Barbie has be everything, and I do mean everything, [take a look](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbie's_careers). The only potentially bad influence I can think of is...

    I Can Be a Computer Engineer Barbie Sends Girls the Opposite Message - Update

    I actually am a bit. Barbie has always given me a 'Legally Blonde' vibe. In the history of the brand Barbie has been just about everything, so it is quite surprising to me. Seriously, how many female surgeons existed in 1973? Because Barbie was one in that year. I think people get so caught up...

    Disney Debuts Live-Action Cinderella

    While I think I would like this movie, it just doesn't interest me enough to go see from what they've show. The problem is I have yet to see anything new out of it. Think about Maleficent, whether you like it or not, I think we can agree it at least seemed fresh. We just haven't had that many...
