We're still making manned missions; we're returning to the moon in 2015. Just not in space shuttles. Jesus people.

The fucking topless scenes in Heavy Rain bugged the crap out of me for precisely these reasons. Making a big deal out of edgy things (like that ridiculous dream sequence that's clearly just there for the sex-power fantasy) is by it's nature not edgy or mature, because edgy and mature people...

My parents kind of cared until I was sixteen or so. I think they had a lot of misconceptions about games like GTA, and once they actually saw them played, they didn't mind as much. Once I got older, they didn't really have a right to stop me doing anything, anyway. Video games are just...

I'm familiar with the history of political views (er, as in I took a test on it once. So not that familiar), but anyway, the definition has changed. That doesn't make the old definition right and the new wrong one; words are defined entirely by consensus to begin with. That's what liberal...

American Government: Roots and Reform by O'Connor and Sabato. It was the book that many high schools started using for their AP classes last year. Anyway, you're missing my point. I think to suggest that there are no centrists Washington is probabilistically silly, not to mention...

I dunno, but I think a lot of people are taking this movie way too seriously...I think it kind of plays a joke on the audience in that respect. It's really just kind of about the fuck-all but stupidly earnest (and a touch surreal) spirit of video games, I think, and it's it likes to laugh at...

What's sad to me is that no one ever mentions Memento when talking about Nolan. It's a better movie than the Dark Knight by a good factor of 2-3. I recommend it. Anyway, I think Inception makes the classic mistake of ignoring character for plot. Plot should be something that is incidental...

An objective perspective is most useful, and in an objective perspective, America is a right-wing country, in the most common sense of the phrase. You can stand by the statement all you like, but I would suggest you (get this) try proving it first (and, for that matter, define it. What do...

In fact, politicians tend to centralize to appeal to the biggest number of people. We have the smallest tax burden of all first-world nations, relatively limited social programs and prevailing pro-traditionalism sentiments. Middle-left is pseudo-socialism to socialism. Far-left is...

Ditto. Did anyone know that Congress actually passed laws restricting game sales in various manners after the Hot Coffee incident? You didn't? Exactly. While we should be vigilant against restrictions to free speech, you have to remember that outrage has ADHD--it passes--and most of what...

I don't think you know what liberal means. According to what I learned in (get this) school, in a global sense America is very right wing. The Republicans, in practice, are very right-wing; the Democrats in theory are centrist, and in practice somewhat right of center. The lack of left-wing...

Well, anyone who blows that much wind is liable to say SOMETHING I agree with at some point. Of course, his point is a fallacy, but hey. I doubt he believes %90 of the things he says anyway; I'd go on the air and spout bigotry and non-logic too if I knew it would make me that much money.

Exactly! Thank you.

All games are art, just as all music is art.

Obviously, your gamerscore is a function of time spent playing. Who cares? Achievements are actually really fun, in my opinion. It's not a point of pride for me, but I sort of enjoy trying to get the difficult ones (that Reach achievement for a falling assassination is hard as hell). I...
