I'm gonna be completely honest: I saw this movie at midnight, and I'm probably going to go see it again with friends tonight. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but Bob's review has given me a good dose of perspective. It doesn't change my opinion, but it will encourage me to look at the film from a...

OH JESUS THIS MISSION Way to drive the point that our parents can only protect us for so long home, Bioware. When I found Rael's body and Tali was frantically trying to check his vitals, I pretty much lost it.

"If the Oscars were the VGAs, Brett Ratner would still be directing" - This part hurt the most. Casual bigotry is so rampant in the gaming community (at least, the portion of the gaming community that actually watches the VGAs with anticipation). We can be so much better. Also, if the...

North Reading, MA: Hometown of Barack Obama's Director of Speechwriting (Jon Favreau) Site of three separate state-news-making under-age drinking scandals between 2009-2010 Yay.

Yay, I understood that! As a British-Canadian raised in the States, my environment wasn't great for fostering multi-lingualism. I've taken Spanish (2 years), French (5 years) and German (1 semester) at various points in my education, though.

I liked all of the standard female companions (sorry, Kasumi doesn't count) for providing a different angle on what I see as traditional video game sexuality (Lara Croft, Dead or Alive, etc.) Miranda was completely aware that she was designed to be an impossibly hot piece of ass, and feels...

I don't trust Activision as far as I could throw them (Blizzard I'm OK with) After that, Valve for #1 because I love their design strategy (dev commentary FTW) Second prize goes to EA for their efforts to ditch their rep as "the Evil Empire" (which was happily picked up by Activision later)...

Silversun Pickups and Muse from very-near-to floor seats. By the end of the night I couldn't hear, couldn't speak above a whisper, and had pulled all the muscles in my neck.

Haley But I am going to Prom with her, so there's that.

I asked a girl who had a painfully obvious (to everyone but me) crush on me why, and I quote, "The only girls who were interested in me were the one ones I had absolutely zero interest in?" Yeah.

Let's see... I'm a white British(Bermudian)-Canadian living in the States and: 1. I'm subject to constant Greencard jokes (I'm a legal permanent resident) 2. HURR DURR AMERICA SAVED BRITAIN'S ASS IN BOTH WORLD WARS 3. People I've known for over 6 yeats still repeatedly forget where I'm from...

I feel that if Rammstein doesn't make you say "WTF" at least once per album, thet're not doing their job. This video may not go to the absolute depths of mind-fuckery (like the Mein Teil video) but it's enough to offend sensabilities and generate some buzz/controversy for the band and the new album.

I play the guitar, though I'm nowhere near as good as I should be after Five years. I also sing and occasionally plunk keys on a piano.

I'd like to think that they'd establish communications before just landing their ships anywhere on the planet.

I've yet to buy the second Penny Arcade Adventures episode. Also, I need to pick up The Pitt and Broken Steel for Fallout 3.
