    Ghostbusters reviews are...positive!

    That's very big of you. I'm going to wait and see if the reviews hold, but it seems to me as though this one's just going to be an okay movie. Not an atrocity, but probably not the sequel fans were hoping for. Just the generic "eh" you can expect from a summer reboot.

    Poll: Would you not buy a game, if they gender swapped your hero?

    Eh, unless the protagonist's gender is a salient point of the series or game, it shouldn't really have an impact on how they act or interact with the world. This is especially true in the case of silent protagonists, which are typically completely blank slates completely devoid of anything you...

    What is the pettiest reason you wouldn't go out with someone or cause you to break up with someone?

    A lot of people are listing things like physical attraction as "petty" criteria, but I'm not sure that really qualifies, since that seems like a pretty big deal. Shallow? Maybe, but it seems to me if something about someone's appearance is a major turn-off, that's probably not something you can...

    Does height matter anymore?

    Given that I measure 6'2", I've never been overly concerned by height on the dating scene. That said, when I dated a 5'11" girl, she lamented how difficult it was to find a guy her size. Seems it was a mix of men shorter than her of or her height being intimidated and/or her refusing to date...

    MovieBob leaving The Escapist

    Criminy, am I the only one here who enjoys Loading Ready Run's content? Granted, the site could definitely use some newer video content to offset the recent departures, but it's not as though the only video content left if ZP.

    Over 1,800 Gaming Professionals Condemn Hate Speech in Open Letter

    Woah there, I made no such claim, and I'd appreciate you not accuse me of as much. I merely pointed out that by definition, the existence of the term "Person of color" necessarily implies that the one using it excludes non-whites from the term "person". Captcha: Trust me. Well, ideally...

    Over 1,800 Gaming Professionals Condemn Hate Speech in Open Letter

    Well, if we're being entirely pedantic, the very existence of the term "Person of Color" (though as near as I can tell, it's fallen out of favour in the last few years) would suggest the term "Person" only applies to Caucasians. But more on topic, I have to agree with the sentiment that this...

    Here's What Game of Thrones' Map Would Look Like If It Was Based in America

    Isn't the North the same size or bigger than all the other kingdoms? I'm thinking it might have been more appropriate to have Canada as the North, and put the Wall at the border with Alaska.

    So a black actor is considering role of Johnny Storm and nerdrage has turned racist again.

    This is where I find the issue to be conflicting. On the one hand, I don't really care whether or not the actor playing a character is white, black or whatever, provided the character's ethnicity isn't a significant part of the character's background and/or raison d'être. I thought the...

    You must move to a country that borders your own, forever - which do you pick?

    I'm surprised the first Canadian poster referenced St-Pierre and Miquelon, and a little bit impressed. I mean, if you're only allowed to pick countries with which your country shares a contiguous border, than yeah, I'd be stuck with picking the U.S., but if you can pick countries that are...
