The failure of the assassination atempt on her was just bloody bad luck. It was also the only the British people were pissed off with the IRA for failing to blow somebody up.

Need to move on from comic book stuff Bob, this is getting far too esoteric. Still good fun though :)

Actually i thought the Green Lantern was pretty good. Silly but fun. I men what do you expect from a superhero movie. It was certainly far better than Captain America which melted my brain with its stupid plot holes, historical illiteracy and ridiculous implausibility.

Go Feminist Bob! Thats not an insult. Seriously, you could have done a whole episode out of ludicrous boobs vs improbable six packs but the little bit you did do was spot on :)

Also your review was very funny, but you already knew that.

Thank you Yahtzee. He DID ruin Star Trek!

I'm starting to love this show, its turning into a real work of art. This is some of the best black comedy played totally straight I've seen in ages.

Bad review for a change, I had to stop watching this half way through becuase I really want to see the movie and felt it was spilling over into spoiler territory with no warnings. whcih is just bad form. However the point about kidnapping 3 college kids not making sense becuase they're not...

You guys know that in 2000 years future archaeologists will be digging these up, realise they're nothing like as intricate or vast as the terracotta army and rewrite their history books to repaint the modern era as a second dark age. Bethesda - fucking with historians heads for centuries to...

Don't, its shit. Not that thats surprising, pretty much anyone who works with the gaming industry HAS to toe the party line that video piracy is "EVIL" or they'll run into all sorts of problems. Extra credits made a stab at being a bit more balanced than some but they toe the party line at...

I can't disagree with that and even though I suspect gender plays more of a role in gaming preferences than you imply, I have no evidence that is the case nor a particular desire to hunt any down or manipulate statistics until I can use them to support my biased opinion ;) I can't help...

Gender may not be a determining factor but it is surely a contributing factor in preferences towards all sorts of things including video games. I'm not arguing that mere possession of male or female genetalia creates these preferences, still less that they are "genetically determined" as so many...

I stand corrected, she did make a derogatory remark (dweeb) I doubt champion nerd is disputed bty anyone as an accurate description. Still pretty mild imo but thats not nice and should be considered unprofessional. What I think is MORE unprofessisonal is her attempting to cover up her original...

Well its certainly dificult for the bad date to stay apolitical when it unleashes so much misogyny. And despite Susan Arendt's belated appeal for knocking off that crap it just keeps on coming: But of course it keeps on coming. The anger about Alyssa's article is driven by her daring to...

You honestly don't think your adjectives are a bit over the top? "Public humiliation" "Morally bankrupt" "unprofessional"? How on earth is Alyssa being unprofessional as a journalist. Journalists write about their own experiences all the time. Sometimes they change names, sometimes they...
