A hell of a lot better than last week. It was kind of painful to watch some of the very basic animation in the first episode, but in a sit-down setting, you can let the jokes make up for visual shortcomings. That said, I'm not looking forward to the gay zombie character, because the only thing I...

Stay right there, I'm gonna load up Photoshop. I gotta see what this will look like.

You may be thinking of Salaam Allalaykum (sp?), a standard Arab/Muslim greeting (its roots are Muslim, but is almost the standard greeting in Arab cultures) sort of like "God be with you." I stopped listening when I saw the "Don't Tread on Me" flag. I actually don't even talk to those types...

The single-player wasn't so hot, but it's the only decent multiplayer game I've played on Live. A complete lack of being able to speak to everyone really gets rid of the racist attention-whores.

It's hard to say about RE5. If you're going to place it in Africa, then you're going to have to use black people. The problem is that this is emotionally unsettling because Sub-Saharan Africa is among the poorest, most pestilent, and malnourished regions in the world. I just find it more than...

As someone who's interested in the time period of about 29-45, I agree with the general attitude of this writing. It's been getting sickening how for a while the History Channel basically told evil stories about Japanese and German sides, then would mention the Soviet Union mass-murdering...

I have liberal guilt up to my eyeballs, and one of the things that irks me is the still stereotypical portrayals of non-skinny, non-white people in media. It's so easy for some white 16-year-old on this board to say "MEH, it doesn't matter in the end," then they go back on Xbox Live find another...

Good start so far, stealing a joke straight out of MST3k with the population bit.

Boy, I can't imagine how much biologists hate her. These are people that would trade their left nut to SEE a kraken, giant spider, or tiger, and she's putting a bullet in their skulls like there's no problem.

I went for the 90's. It had the most technological innovations, the best overall economic gains (here in the USA, at least), and the best music (Well, up until '95 or so, but still).

I usually lock onto a story, and just read as much as I can; blogs, newspapers, websites and such. I don't pretend I listen to both sides, anyone who says that is usually full of horseshit and tries to look smart. I just read something, make an opinion, then keep reading to see how it holds up...

Al Qaeda has nothing left really in Iraq. Remember the pro-war crowd championing that the Iraqis were fighting back at Al Qaeda a while ago? Well, those Iraqis (the militias at Civil War) caused the most death up until recently, when we payed a lot of them (during "the surge") to stop attacking...

Yeah, it's funny how people just prefer to label themselves and others instead of just pick out what they believe. Having taken many Poli Sci courses, it's kind of funny to see how traditional liberalism is basically the exact opposite of what we call liberalism today. And my problem with...

I get kind of the same feeling. Any disagreement with her views in her books seem to be real strawmen setups. It kind of bothers me when a lot of authors do that instead of trying to hold up differing arguments for what they truly are, or honing their views to standup against critical review...

I am so psyched for Skate 2, it's going to ruin my life this semester.
