Hey, it sounds like a really difficult time for you, your sister, and your mom. You'll probably get a lot of replies to this from really pathetic keyboard warriors telling you how they would beat the shit out of him or whatever. Don't listen to any of that; it's poisonous garbage. You seem...

Claiming there's no such thing as 'fake' nerd girls only proves you haven't experienced the phenomenon. For the purposes of this, I'm going to leave cosplayers who don't really care about anything except costumery out of the equation. Fake nerd girls *do* exist, and they are a much sadder...

I'm a little uncomfortable with how many people are okay with shooting someone breaking into their house. Call me a pussy, but wouldn't shoot someone running off with my TV set or whatever. And if I had a gun, I'd like to think my first instinct would be to say "freeze", and not kill anyone...

I think it's completely hilarious how many people think they'd win a 2v1 against any kind of opponents. Unless you can put one of them away in pretty much one shot, and assuming they're average size (maybe a bit bigger or stronger, stands to reason if they're the aggressors), they'll just fuck...

SPOILERS AHOY FOR A SHOW THAT'S BEEN ON THE AIR LIKE 2 YEARS Joffrey straight up kills the character believed by many to be the central protagonist. He is afforded by the story the chance to cause more personal grief to the audience owing to people's emotional attachment to the characters he...

He is kind of a shitbag regardless. I don't think the intent of the tattoo is clear either way, but it doesn't change who he is or what he did. I actually might give him the benefit of the doubt regarding his tattoo, but that doesn't matter: he is still a rich man, and a poor human being.

I've noticed things like this come up in every single superhero or sci-fi/fantasy movie discussion ever, and I think it's really interesting how different people look at film. When a criticism is levelled at a movie that it's unrealistic for superman to just telepathically know Lex Luthor is...

Good to see mature debate and polite difference of opinion in this thread. Saw this yesterday and while I didn't feel it was bad, I was disappointed. It was sweeping and epic, but it had a lot of The Dark Knight's schizophrenic editing, as well as significant pacing and story problems. My...

double post.

I think Final Fantasy games are appallingly repetitive and boring, with largely overwrought characterisations and designs aimed at 14 year olds. I don't mind people liking the game at all, but if they're fanatical fans, I respect their intellect less.

The score at the end of a review is very much an abstraction, and sometimes gets in the way, but it does often help a reviewer summarise how they felt about the game overall. The actualy text of the review matters far more, except that these days, most big-site "reviews" are simply rehashed...

I mean, I'll probably get it anyway (big MK fan), but I am aware of how cringingly awful many aspects of MK have been outside of the fatalities. It's really ncie to see a series I have a great amount of (unjustified) affection for actually grow into something I can love for reasons other than...

Since we're not getting our demo on 360 (thanks a lot, Microshaft), who has it? And what do you think? How accessible is it? The fighting looks quite visceral and satisfying, but it's not as accessible as MvC3, from the look of things, where making combos is about imagination and improvisation...

I feel I'm pointing out the obvious when I say: A: A lot of the costumes etc, while awesomely rendered, do look like awesomely rendered versions of the (still naff) lycra get up the MK cast wore in the 90s, and B: Have you ever fought a Mortal Kombat boss? Shao Kahn, MK3. An exercise in...
