That's actually very exciting news to me. I think the heating issue is probably part of the reason why I'm on my third PS3.

Online dating FTW :)

I just watched Cabin in the Woods a few weeks back. I went in with low expectations, but I was impressed with the spin on the "stupid teens" horror movie trope.

More than once, I have choked from swallowing my own spit. That's pretty embarrassing.

Well, I've never been overtly hit on by a girl (as far as I know--I can be pretty dense), but if I get the sense that a girl might be flirting with me, I try to act friendly without leading her on, and I might casually mention my fiancee so she doesn't get the wrong idea. I'd certainly never...

That's kind of a backwards attitude. I mean, ideally, I would love to play local multiplayer with my friends, but not all of us live in the same city, state, or country as our friends.

No, I agree with you. No one is disputing the fact that the conference was a colossal failure, but picking on the presenters' attire seems a bit nitpicky and beside the point.

I just recently learned about the Bechdel test, which is, according to Wikipedia, This seems like a good place to start--maybe try to write such a conversation as a writing exercise, and then try to write some more about one or both of the characters having that conversation and see what...

Not absolutely sure, since I didn't purposely try to do it, but I think your team's survival odds are lowered by not doing their loyalty missions, by making poor role decisions for the final mission (i.e. having a weaker biotic try to shield the team), and by not being fast enough when your team...

Siren: Blood Curse had some very frightening sections where you play as a defenseless little girl who has to run and hide from hostile zombie-like creatures

First thing that comes to mind is the suicide mission. Go through it with complete disregard for your comrades, letting them get picked off, and then at the end, hand the Collector base over to Cerberus.

They fired the guy who made one of their most popular games? Talk about gratitude.

In my opinion, it's all about context and where you are. I think that it would have been fine to discuss the Lord of the Rings ending anywhere except the theater where they were showing the first part.

Are you getting any exercise? When I was unemployed, exercising made me feel much better and more productive.
