This bothers me for two reasons. The first is just from a historical and logical perspective. These games were about the Civil War. Unless they were some kind of neo-Confederate revisionist history type thing that glorified the Confederacy, I see literally no way that Apple's explanation of...

Then she shouldn't try and talk about it on Twitter. She has any number of other means on the internet to talk about it, so why use Twitter if she thought that her point would lose something due to the character limit? She's boiled it down to a math equation, mate. If prejudice + power =...

Wait...really? Tekken is a series filled with cyborgs, robots, schoolgirls, Bruce Lee, multiple bears, a boxing raptor, and a handful of characters who also turn into demons sometimes. I'm not really a fan of this character design, but I don't hate it or anything. There's been stupider things in...

I won't lie, man. I would have held a grudge against you forever if it had been. Instead, I...I want to give you a hug. It would be the most deserved hug I have ever given.

People usually expect changes in games from their original launch trailers...it's just that they usually expect those changes to be for the better. Alright, hypothetical scenario: a month before the release of the new X-Men movie, a new trailer is released. It looks like the same story and the...

Compare the real-time doomsday clock to the one in Dead Rising: what was its purpose? In Dead Rising, it was to give the investigation a sense of urgency. You're trying to find out why there's a zombie apocalypse in smalltown Colorado, but there's also dozens of survivors to rescue. It forces...

Ditto. I get the decision to not allow the game to pause (you can't pause online games for pretty obvious reasons)..but I don't care about any online aspect in this game. At best, I was utterly indifferent to it during those times when I was basically just playing a single-player game. At worst...

Funny. You know the word 'oxymoron,' but you don't know that adding 'irrational' in front of it is pointless at best and a double negative at worst. Regardless of why? It doesn't matter at all? So if one person said that they opposed gay marriage because they hate homosexuals, you would...

Ha! You automatically get points in my book for using the classic Batman scene transition. Anyhoo, moving on. Either way, I think your first problem is watching and/or relying on MovieBob reviews. He's gotten increasingly unhinged as time goes on, and he's downright awful at examining things...

Hey, I had that for a while, too. Still got a fair bit of it, but it's gotten immensely more manageable. Believe it or not, I used to have trouble going underwater in Minecraft after squids became a thing. Those toothy maws, man. Creeped me right the hell out. Anyhoo, it came to a peak in...

Alright. I'll spell it out even more slowly: -You made a hypothetical case that, if your spontaneously disintegrated and were replaced by a perfect clone, complete with your memories, then you would somehow still be alive because of some nonsense about candles, willpower, and observers...

Here's what I asked: Your response as quoted above didn't answer any part of that question.

Not my point. You get a bit closer to it after the bizarre quote, though. ...right, but here's the thing: you're dead. You won't be "happy with the results." You're dead, at least in the initial scenario you proposed. That leads me to the followup question: if you fail to vanish when your...

Yeah...but that's a problem. You're dead. What remains is someone who looks exactly like you, has all your memories, and is convinced that he is you. But he's not. Before I go any further, answer me this: what if your hypothetical disintegration didn't happen but, by some fluke, the...

Realistically, I'd probably just go with #2. It's not so much a matter of lopping off and replacing stuff as it is making what I've already got work much, much better. It'd be overall improvement with no foreseeable downsides to it. Anyhoo, on 2-5, I guess it sorta depends on how much of the...
