    You people are insane....(Yet another rape thread)

    I was with you until here, but under the United States' definition of rape, you're absolutely incorrect. Rape can, legitimately, be an accident, in large part because of ignorance of what rape actually is. Example: You go to a party and find a nice girl who's had a little too much to drink...

    What do you think of men passing abortion laws?

    It's a bit difficult to place the blame of Vietnam on Eisenhower, when his major contribution was 900 Advisers, and a stern warning to Kennedy to be careful. It was Kennedy who escalated from 900 Advisers to 16,000 US Military personnel. Despite the fact that I'd agree that Pakistan has never...

    What do you think of men passing abortion laws?

    Actually, many pro-life advocates support aid for young mothers as well as adoption processes. Not feeling pain and a lack of consciousness isn't evidence that a human being is no longer a human. You're obviously passionate about your beliefs, but before you begin throwing stones at a crowd...

    What do you think of men passing abortion laws?

    1. I have a distinct problem with the idea that the choice is only a woman's, or even just the mother and father's. This stems from the fact that I have carefully thought about how to define a human life. In my opinion, there are two necessities for a human life: A. It's human. This...

    Female Power Fantasy

    You know, I'd have used Firefly as a reference for a good female character, but I would not have chosen River to portray that. Not because River isn't a good character, but because the things she embodies aren't necessarily that of a "female" character so much as a "tortured" character...

    Food that appears in video games

    While I can't help you with the Mississippi Quantum Pie, if you go to your local grocer's, pick out a Salisbury Steak (it's basically Ground beef and bread crumbs), and nuke it in your microwave, you'll have similar amounts of radiation in it to that of the Fallout World (in this case, not a...

    Poll: Is liking petite girls the same as pedophilia?

    Agreed. I loves me some girls with eye color.

    Well, Retake Mass Effect 3 is pretty much over. What have we learned from this experience?

    As bad as the backlash against Windwaker was, it stood the test of time and is now looked back on fairly well by many people. Taking risks is fine, so long as the end result is good, and history is what decides that. I don't think history has had a long enough time to judge the Mass Effect...

    Notch Unveils His New Game

    Mostly from over exposure to radiation, but that's beside the point. Actually, quite excited about this game. Sounds like fun.

    Why do controllers have the "back" button?

    Pretty much this. It's really not for a specific reason, but because the buttons needed designators. They could've just as easily been called "left" and "right" rather than "selected/back" and "start." With the Xbox, specifically, I think it has more to do with the console's software, rather...

    BioWare Sends 400 Cupcakes to Youth Center

    This is awesome. The point was made, and those cupcakes will definitely be more enjoyed by the kids than by the developers. This is the single most courteous war I've watched in recent memory. Little like how in the early days of WWI the aviators would wave to each other as they passed in the...

    Regarding Mass Effect 3: Angry players might actually have a point.

    Holmes is a good example. In terms of sloppy writing, there's a rumor going around the internet that the main writing team was cut out of the last level. If that's true, that would definitely be an example of a legitimate reason to go back and have THOSE guys do the last level. It'd be like...

    Regarding Mass Effect 3: Angry players might actually have a point.

    The problem with your argument here is that people aren't asking for fluffy bunnies forever. They're asking for an ending that provides closure for all three major aspects of the game. Yes, at the end of the day, it's Bioware's art, but it's also their product, and that's the big problem...
