I work in a hospital, so I see quite a few people on government assistance programs. But I see even more who don't even qualify for those, despite being physically unable to work, or having some other exceptional barrier to them sustaining themselves. Is there abuse to the system? As long as...

My guilty pleasure is Trinity Broadcasting Network. You know, the Jesus channel. My fiancé can't even stand it for a second, but I think it's hilarious/fascinating, the stuff that they air. Gary Busey did an absolutely incredible interview one time. So good. Oh, and Web Soup is another one...

I'm only looking at one kid, two tops, both adopted if possible. As for the second half: people who have more than 2 children are simply weak-willed egotists. Yes, you are so effing special that your genetic material should obviously oversaturate the planet! Overpopulation/depletion of...

No, they die. If you recall, Drebin explains that the Beauties can only live for about five minutes without their Beast suits. After the suit's wrecked in the first half of the fight, they will die no matter what Snake does. As for the OP: other than the various MGS and Bioshock answers...

I think that post sums up the point of the thread, which is: no accounting for taste. Madworld had me bored to tears within 2 levels, and I only played that far to see if the game would ever switch things up. I personally found my time with Bayonetta to be quite enjoyable, which was something of...

I personally liked that the review addressed my own personal relationship with Torchlight. I remember downloading the demo, then saying to myself, "Well, gee, it's a nice enough little game, but do I want to pay 20 bucks for a shinier, fresher incarnation of the exact same game I've played a...

No, no we don't. There's already been Vin Deisel, and I'm sure others I can't be bothered to remember. The jokes quit being funny, and the fact that they aren't funny quit being funny. If we could all just move on and use our in-game chat for something more productive, like homophobia and...

Dude I love me some Gaimen, but let's get real: She didn't like Sandman. She ain't gonna like anything else by Gaimen, either.

Hmm..if she likes horror comics, there are worse reads out there than Warren Ellis' Gravel. You said she likes introspective sadsacks? Find the trade for Demo, by Brian Wood and featuring the art of (nerdcrush) Becky Cloonan. Or, hell, has she read Johnny the Homicidal Maniac? That right there's...

I recall that was one of the first anime I ever saw, aired on Sci-Fi channel weekday mornings before school. Also Adult Swim was showing it on regular rotation maybe a year or two ago. Despite this, I think it would be fair to say most people don't know that show; it's certainly less known that...

Let's see...On my bookshelf sits Darkside Blues, a movie that, for some reason, despite no one but me ever having heard of it, got reprinted recently, though I have an old copy from a video store going out of business. ANN has under 250 reviews, so I'ma call it fairly obscure. There's Narutaru...

Black Eyed Peas is clearly the worse offender here. I could actually imagine the amount of alcohol needed to enjoy the Gaga song. But the Black Eyed Peas just did something completely unforgivable to my ears. Seriously, I have to lay down now.

I'll bite. Funky aliens dance and bottle humans.

I dunno...personally, I'm skeptical. Fallout was always so heavily influenced by 50s-era Americana and sci-fi that setting it in a different country would mean either all of a sudden Britain was identical to the United States save for new scenery, or the game would be so different everyone would...

...What is your case exactly? Both bands look like tremendous tools. And to contribute: God would only "go down with the ship" if we were the only boat on the water. Lotta other planets out there. I think the old boy will be just fine.
