I find myself in the midst of a conundrum when I consider voting for Obama a second time. Practicality rises and falls on the golden scale, weighted against my irascible need to believe that a clever man who covers with a veil of pretty lies his more unpleasant intentions is no better than a...

We should definitely teach the opposing viewpoint and its massive quantity of evidence against evolutionary theory in schools. We should also, when teaching about Germany's answer to racial minorities and sexual deviants and such in the 1930s and 40s, leading to "The Final Solution,"...

My feelings exactly. The way the first one crawls back and cowers is way too realistic, and the girls have suffered enough as it is. I'll be heroic and the game will be harder for it, which makes victory all the sweeter. That said, I have actually played through it ONCE (of about five...

Female circumcision is completely different from male circumcision. The removal of the clitoris is a vile disgusting act akin to cutting off the penis entirely. Anyone defending THAT can fuck off.

I have a slightly different problem. You see, FEAR's hair-trigger who's-going-to-squeeze-the-trigger-first gameplay and practically huamn-level AI are so bleeding-edge perfect that they've ruined ME for nearly every other shooter on the market, other than Bioshock. And I mean the original FEAR...

Silent Hill 2; also, Ico/Shadow of the Colossus

FFX approaches FF7's greatness, as does FF6 in a classic way, and I did play 6 first, but damn, I've gotta give it to 7.

I've seen it twice and it's by far the most original movie with aliens-on-earth I've ever seen. Freaking amazing.

I'd kill him, but only after disarming him, binding him in a brutal stress position, stripping off all his clothing, starving him for a few days, flaying off much of his skin, waterboarding him for untold hours, raping him up the arse with writing utensils, roasting him over an open fire, then...

I had played Fallout 3 for about fifty-five hours and the most spectacular death I ever saw was when my friend came over and tried it and immediately used VATS to shoot a female soldier who was running at him in the head. In slow motion she was decapitated, her body flipped around a hundred...
