Is that a picture of Rush Limbaugh at 1:55 as the symbolic image of cynical critics saying that Lincoln only freed the slaves because he was trying to win the war? Lincoln was a republican, Limbaugh is a conservative; many conservative pundits praise Lincoln for the Emancipation Proclamation...

At 50 seconds into the video, Phil explains that the point of their debate is "to see who makes the best RPG games." Considering that neither BioWare nor Bethesda makes genuinely good RPGs these days, is it safe to say there's no right answer in this debate? After all, any sensible "best RPG...

The problem with this this supposed "free-to-play single-player gaming with microtransactions" thing is that I'm not comfortable trusting publishers to be fair and benevolent with their pricing. Developers and publishers are running a business. I'm sure a lot of them are passionate about...

I'm going to add my voice to the crowd of people thinking Bond should've gotten that point, instead of Kirk. It's not all that difficult to score some action when everyone else in competition is undesirable, and reflects a little more on your circumstances than your prowess as a "playa." You'd...

This is exactly how I feel about the new design. It looks bland, like it's deliberately trying to be void of style or aesthetics, mostly because of the lack of descriptive text and the way everything just "floats" on the background. The old design may have been "cluttered" but it was descriptive...

My main complaints with the new site are as follows: 1) I miss having descriptive text under the featured articles on the main page. Just a quick blurb to clue me in to what the article's about and entice me to click on it. Now all I've got are a bunch of seemingly random headlines. 2) I...

I know right, holding me back from achieving flawless excellence in a typing game =( But seriously, there's been very little competition lately. I haven't seen a significant change in the leaderboards since I posted this, so you folks need to get out there and start typing++

If your religion does not allow drinking... If you have a serious moral issue with drinking... If you're under-aged and don't want to risk getting busted... If you're with unfamiliar people in an uncomfortable place... If you have no idea what they're serving you... If you have to drive and...

I share these sentiments. Of the however-many marines they add into the mix, the only ones that have any kind of memorable role or characterization are Michael Biehn, Hudson, and Vasquez. Everyone else is just "stereotypical jarhead there to die." I also didn't care much for the way that...

It looks like a recreation to me (hence the misspelling), but it's in the same vein and style as the official theatrical poster.

Aliens certainly works as a stand-alone, but I actually prefer the first Alien. As much as Marter's talking about Alien not being scary, and how the characters are just fodder to die, Aliens isn't any better. Aliens adds even more characters (an entire marine platoon) who are just there to die...

Type Hard is a free indie game that's actually pretty interesting, considering its only gameplay mechanic is typing. Words appear on screen and you type them. You earn points for not making mistakes, and for typing more words per minute. That's it. It's an extremely simple concept that shouldn't...

This is exactly what I was thinking. I'll always remember that game for its "morality system," which was really just more of a "decision system." There is no good or bad (at least apparently), it's just decisions with different consequences. A lot of them got me really thinking about which...

Despite that Rogen was born outside the US, his success and fame as an actor is the result of his work with American cinema. The way Bob has it written here, "American" is an adjective to describe the word "stars," so either the stars are Americans themselves, or they are stars of American...
