    Phrases that piss you off

    What gets me about it is the fact that they pretend to make their argument about the continued survival of our species. A flimsy attempt to avoid having to say that they think gay people are icky. I agree on the birth control thing, though that topic is on a vastly different rail than this one ;)

    Phrases that piss you off

    I addition, the crowd that goes "homosexuality is wrong because if everyone would be gay, then the human race would end."

    Phrases that piss you off

    It's quite funny to me that you tell people to think for themselves only to then pick the exact two phrases that were mentioned in a David Mitchell video posted earlier.

    Phrases that piss you off

    "She friendzoned me." No, she's not romantically interested in you, there's no conscious decision going on here. This isn't something she can control, so don't make her out to be the villain for the crime of not liking you despite the fact that you like her. There are many possible reasons why...

    Phrases that piss you off

    Heh, I remember someone on Twitter once saying that "OMG Kurt Cobain is NOT better than Justin Bieber!!! He doesn't have the largest fanbase on Twitter in the world!" and the first thing that my mind came up with as a response was "Yeah, and thank fuck for that, because you just KNOW they'd come...

    What is the dumbest case of fandom infighting you have ever seen?

    I'm half surprised to not have seen (or just managed to gloss over it) Supernatural yet. I'm not a part of the fandom myself (I enjoyed much of the show, but don't really concern myself with it once I'm not actively watching it), but I have seen some truly deranged stuff coming from its fans...

    So, you have mastered teleportation...

    See, that's the thing, I'd make sure that I'll get more than enough money the first day that I'd start robbing banks. There is no reason to not hit several of them right after one another before the story has a chance to come out in the first place. And besides, if the banks in Dubai start to up...

    The one thing that REALLY matters in the "fake geek girl" debate.

    I think that in the case of Booth Babes it should really be more a matter of expectation. They're part of the paid marketing staff and any possibly fake interest they could show would be a part of their professional obligation over, say, some hidden nebulous agenda that is designed to seduce a...

    Poll: Should Link be female in the next Lengend Of Zelda

    Are you implying that Boris Vallejo was wrong? :o But yeah, if anything I'd imagine both those attributes to be a hindrance to a hero (getting in the way, giving enemies something to grab on to, etc.) It's a good thing not all girls have extremely long hair and giant breasts

    Poll: Should Link be female in the next Lengend Of Zelda

    This difficulty is wholly dependant on the art and animation styles chosen. Choosing a style that does not include fully realistic physics (which, to my knowledge, has not yet been done in a Legend of Zelda game) would easily get around this problem. When your protagonist can be described as...

    Poll: Should Link be female in the next Lengend Of Zelda

    Heh, I'd love to see a LoZ game with the Legendary Hero of Time being born as a girl. Especially if everyone is constantly confused at how the legend got a twist they didn't see coming. Kinda like Equal Rites did.

    Poll: Questions about dating a Muslim

    In fact, a lot of things that get associated with the Islamic faith these days is a holdover from various tribal customs that were in practice during the time and in the area where the religion originated. Circumcision is among these as well I believe.

    Most Boring Opinions in Geek Culture - Part II

    This, so much this. the 70s was a horrible time for Bond. Diamonds are Forever is easily the worst Connery Bond movie, Live and Let Die felt more like a Blaxploitation movie with James Bond sloppily written in. The Man With the Golden Gun takes a potentially interesting premise for a Bond film...

    Fellow Ladies, Ever Have Something Like This Happen to You?

    Isn't this kind of the problem though? that you can get a proper fit but still have trouble finding the right bra for you since the majority of clothing companies will have their own definition of what the numbers and letters they put on their clothes mean?

    Games your sick of hearing about

    I agree, I love zombies to bits but games do not need to have a zombie mod for everything. It's the kind of marketing decision that turns me off of buying a developer's product. I say this as a man who makes an annual trip to another country to participate in a zombie walk during Halloween
