    Weirdly racist job interview (updated)

    The concept of `race' is much broader than you seem to think it is. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_%28human_classification%29 ) THEY'RE NOT MISUSING THE FUCKING TERM.

    Scientists Shatter Record with 10 Times Faster Lasers

    Being a pedant, I feel I should point out that the journal "Nature Physics" is not the same as the journal "Nature", though they are both published by the "Nature Publishing Group" (NPG). It is misleading to conflate the former with the latter.

    Representation in games must be properly contextual

    Here, have an analogy about llamas that will hopefully make you think about why your suggestion is flawed: http://aidanmoher.com/blog/featured-article/2013/05/we-have-always-fought-challenging-the-women-cattle-and-slaves-narrative-by-kameron-hurley/

    and ... Steams greenlight fails .....

    The fact that the game was popular on console several years ago does not necessarily mean that there is demand for it on the PC... Thus the idea of determining the demand for it doesn't seem entirely ridiculous to me.

    All Hail The Ale.

    Surely the best advice is to just go out there and try as many as you can? In my experience most pubs with a selection of ales will let you taste a sample before you dive in for a whole pint. Also, ale festivals are a good place to sample a lot of different beers, if there happen to be any...

    Telltale Drops Walking Dead Hint Via Vine

    It's part of a Humble Weekly Sale, not part of a Humble Indie Bundle. The two are not the same thing...

    The Walking Dead Heads Humble Weekly Sale

    The Devil's Playhouse is the third series of Sam and Max, so yes.

    Any recomendations for cel-shaded games?

    What about Telltale's The Walking Dead? The art is designed to look like the original comic. And the games pretty damn good to boot... Edit: That'll teach me not to skim read the OP...

    What's in a Game?

    I feel like this is relevant somehow: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/01/microsoft-pimps-it-old-school-with-a-pricey-text-adventure-game/ Even Visual Studio can be seen as a game if you stretch the definitions enough...

    Lovecraft and Video Games

    Didn't the original Alone in the Dark game have Lovecraftian elements in it? I can also remember hearing about a Lovecraft inspired point and click adventure game from the '90s, but can't remember its name off the top of my head; will repost if I remember. Edit: Hmm... I think that the...

    Scientific and mathematical inaccuracies, misconceptions and errors that get under your skin

    You skipped over a very important step. Assume x=/=0. Define x/0 = infty. Multiply both sides by zero. 0 x/0 = 0 infty, i.e. 0/0 = 0 infty. You have made the implicit assumption that 0/0 = 1. If we leave 0/0 undefined then we avoid the contradiction x = 0. The set of complex...

    Smegging Hell! Here's the Poster for Red Dwarf X

    I have to admit that I was disappointed by the trailer... Here's hoping the rest of the series lives up to the originals though.

    Spec Ops: The (vaguely explained)Line

    Extra Credits recently ran a couple of episodes about this game: http://penny-arcade.com/patv/episode/spec-ops-the-line-part-1 http://penny-arcade.com/patv/episode/spec-ops-the-line-part-2 They're probably worth watching if you want some insight into what's meant by the line.

    Poll: Is it possible to play a guitar in public...

    I hope so, since me and my friend are going to start busking in the city centre soon...

    Poll: Do you enjoy playing games as much as you did when you were a kid?

    I still love playing games, I just unfortunately don't have enough time to play them as much as I would like now.
