Once more the stinger truly makes the video. Well done.

Small nitpick, the chorus could and sometimes did alter the course of events in a tragedy, Euripides' Ion being a prime example. Although, I am having trouble thinking of an example from Aeschylus or Sophocles at the moment so those plays might work for your premise. Sorry, another Classics...

Good general rule: Never believe anything that is being said by a group with either Parents or Family in its name. They always have some odd bias that makes reality an alien concept to them. See also: Family Research Council.

I think your last analogy pretty much refutes your point. Sure, everyone wants to actually enjoy those presents under the tree but the anticipation and unwrapping are part of the experience and add to it. Knowing for sure what you will get for Christmas (or your birthday or any other...

Not during that time. Asia Minor was colonized by Greeks after the time of the Trojan War and after the Trojan War there weren't any Trojans in that part of the world if you follow the stories. Not that they are really all that historical anyway but that is kinda beside the point. As stated...

See, I'm conflicted here. The podracing scene would be pretty neat in 3D but I'd have to sit through an entire movie of Jar-Jar. Ah well, for me only the first two movies of the new trilogy were bad so at least I can look forward to the other four. At this point I'm not effected by Lucas...

Actually, with Reach being humanity's main weapon manufacturing centre, you could probably justify it. Of course, that doesn't explain the change in Covenant weaponry. I was pleasantly surprised at just how much I enjoyed the campaign. While I've always liked the Halo games, the campaign for...

Well I'm in Classical Studies so I've done a few years of both Latin and Ancient Greek. I find Latin to be much easier but I know a lot of my classmates feel differently. I'm better with the grammar rules than the vocab so I think that is why. Greek has ten words to say anything and each of...

Going by the name alone, Pvt. James Ramirez from MW2 is likely Hispanic but that may be assuming too much. Plus he was probably the more minor of the playable main characters. I have to take exception to the Fable objections. So what if the peasants are white. There have been a number of...

This week was almost the opposite of last for me, only a few that I haven't seen and only one that I hadn't heard of (Legend). Once again, Netflix will hopefully correct this for me once Canada becomes blessed with its presence. Just try renting half (probably more like 4/5ths) of these at an...

I poked around their website for a few minutes because that is all my brain could take. They are actually against Lego sets (as opposed to the random assortments of blocks) because they think it quashes imagination. As someone who spent most of his childhood playing with those Lego sets...

Topics like this make me glad we're finally getting Netflix in Canada this fall. I've only seen a handful of these and bits and pieces of 2001. I look forward to seeing cavewomen in bikinis fighting dinosaurs. I still find it weird that people didn't get the Blade Runner reference though. I...

Based on your Avatar, I'd say it was because of this:

From a former guildie over Vent: "[He] has a voice that could keep you warm on a cold, Canadian night." Which is actually one of the nicer things ever said about me, but: A: She is forty years older than me. B: Her husband was also in the Vent channel.

You really outdid yourselves, great work. I'm amazed how many references I got considering I haven't owned a single fighting game outside of Smash Bros. Geek osmosis is a wonderful thing.
