Forgive my ignorance but what is "9 water shedding"? I googled it and got nothing useful. However, in America, companies have to buy ad space to run an ad during an NFL game. It's the company's decision when to run the ad, not the network. If it runs during a football game, it ran because...

If you put it in front of a national TV audience you are begging for someone to be offended by it. And honestly it shouldn't be hard to look at the ad from a different point of view than your own and see that. Think about a family watching a football game on a Saturday afternoon and her 12...

Talk to a TES lore buff and they're pretty sure these "Dragon Shouts" were previously referred to in Nordic lore as the "Thu'um". Dragon Shouts may end up being different but the two are very similar and I would no be surprised for this to be confirmed when the game comes out.

You act like I don't understand this. I do. I also understand that when an ad runs on national TV and lists the website as "yourmomhatesthis.com" that is antagonistic and not everyone will take it lightly. There has to be a level of responsibility here on the part of the company. If this was...

Is that somehow better? Is being immature and antagonistic towards people going to accomplish anything productive? Thunderhorse 31 had it right, if this was an ad towards a Mature audience then this is not how they would approach it because most of the people in that audience wouldn't give a...

And you think game/comic companies dont do the same thing? They do exactly the same thing. They generate communities that they give the appearance of caring about and occasionally take into consideration what the community cares about but only for the sake of making money. Sports teams, video...

Rage much bro? If you'd go back and read my comment I explain that sports organizations try their damnedest to make fans buy into the "we" and "us" mentality of being involved in the team. Hell, my local football club has billboards all over the metro area that say "We are not fans. We are...

I understand the usefulness of stereotypes as a means for basing initial interactions but I'm referring specifically to the insulting of a group of people based on their choice of hobby. People bashing sports fans on an internet forum aren't using stereotypes as a means of basing first contact...

ZOMG inorite? Es muy loco hombre. Todo el mundo es muy loco.

Yes, I wish man bags were acceptable. I have a bad back and can't sit down with my wallet in my back pocket or else I have a sore back later so I really wish I had a bag of some sort to carry that in as opposed to pulling it out and putting it in my front pocket when I have to sit down.

Just based on a lot of the responses in there I have to ask: Why do people who claim to have been stereotyped against for years proceed to stereotype other groups of people? Seriously, that thread is like a dedication to the hate sci-fi/video game fans have for sports fans because...

To me there is a difference in something being real. The fact that it actually exists means something. The fact that a fictional universe is not real means something. To you that does not mean anything. You have the right to that opinion. But the fact of the matter is that it is still a...

I didn't read the whole thread, but I read the first and last pages and let me just make one point that seems to elude the lot of you. Sports are real. The stadiums are real. The teams are real. Star Trek is fiction. The ship is fictional. The crew is fictional. So when someone...
