    Is Dragon Age the most Gay Friendly Game?

    Ahh...that strip could do no wrong. I am loving the re-released hardcovers of the whole thing so much. "...Rod?" I will admit that I'm not up on the laws, but they could be state or local, too. Still, there are random twitches here and there against homosexuality still. Not quite full on...

    Is Dragon Age the most Gay Friendly Game?

    Considering the Army *just* struck down a policy that said "No gays allowed, unless they pretend to be straight," I'd say you are mistaken there.* There's some debate--typically motivated by perceptions of the morality of homosexuality--as to whether such things are covered. Um, tried to phrase...

    Poll: How do you listen to a CD?

    I listen to my stupid collection of 1300 CDs (and 200+ LPs) straight through. Depending on the time I have when listening, of course.

    Uncharted Voice Actor Doesn't Want Royalties

    But what about musical artists? Film artists? They are paid for each *copy* of their work (...theoretically). That's the principle here. It's like the royalties from each sale of the game are the equivalent of funds from purchased movie tickets. Not that this is a necessary step (it can, of...

    Epic Dubs

    I have grown to hate the American dub of DBZ. I had an argument with someone about it; it fails to capture the child-like nature of Goku completely, and tries to turn a half-humourous (and very "80s!") show into an ultra-badass stompathon action adventure. After reading the manga I got this...

    Best Buy Charging $30 Extra for "Updated" Xbox 360

    Have you been out looking for a job lately? Have you ever worked retail? If your answer to both of these is "yes," then enjoy your snarking! If it's not, then perhaps you ought to try both before making such a comment. Yours truly, Yet Another Obvious Illiterate (wait! that's what yaoi...

    Science!: Black Holes, Night Vision and Garbage

    The poor thing is subjected to enough horrific puns as is...don't make it worse! ...That said...you only wrote about CERN because they use "SQUIDS," amirite? :P

    Poll: King vs. Lovecraft

    Lovecraft had ideas, a Dunsany-cum-Poe approach to words (...for good or ill) and quite an imagination. He was kind of a racist though. King has a bit of a tendency toward "ooh, psychics," and has trouble with plot-derailing asides. I've never been impressed with his characterization, and...

    Poll: Is Punk Rock Still Alive?

    Even Jello Biafra? Because I'm afraid he said it once. Albeit about 10 years ago.

    Warhammer 40k vs starwars... is there any possible way for SW to win?

    Since when were there "good guys" anywhere in WH40k? I thought it was very "my side"/"your side"... Yeah, the Imperium isn't the game's primary protagonist. They aren't front and center in all the marketing, after all. All Hail the Emperor, and his throne that requires a Holocost of shaved...

    Unskippable: Resident Evil 5

    That one was great. Alas, a missed opportunity for a fantastic Warriors reference when the guy with the megaphone appeared. I kept hoping and hoping for a "CAN YOU DIG IIIIIIIIIT?" Oh well. No bad marks to speak of, so nevermind me!

    Zero Punctuation: The E3 Trailer Park

    I am mystified by the positivity surrounding that abysmal trailer for Watchmen. It looks like Snyder will continue his running habit of turning everything into a an action-cliché-infested cgi-fest that sort of seems like it's paying homage or respecting its source material, but this illusion...

    Just stupid! The things people believe!

    Funny thing, the first couple years of Oscars did exactly that. Then it stopped. Stupidities.
