Is the "Seriously" youtube-link pointing to the right location? It's just that it's pointing at the same youtube video (Run, Forrest, Run) as the previous comic, and I can't see how it's relevant to this one.

It might be worth mentioning that the guy in the video isn't a proper stock market trader (as in he doesn't work in one of the big banks) - he's a hobbyist who gets paid more for talking about trading than actually doing it. Still think he's right though... Edit: No I don't. The guy's an...

I don't suppose there's any chance that there are some smart economist people reading this thread who can actually give advice on this kind of thing (and aren't themselves evil, capitalist liars)? I'm worried about the comment that savings will disappear - I don't own any property and just...

My understanding of this is that, back in VHS days, TVs were all in 4:3 format, so Kubrick wanted the picture cut down to suit so there wouldn't be any black borders. You could argue that re-cutting them to a 16:9 format for a 16:9 TV is actually more in-keeping with his wishes than otherwise...

Well, for my part I just sent off the following on the Escapist contact page: Which tells you all you need to know about my opinion on the matter. As an amateur lacanian psychoanalyst, I'd also add than this is clearly your unconscious mind trying to tell you that you care about...

The problem with this seems to be that we can explain a bit about the physics of lightsabres based on first principles (more on this later), but no-one (that I know of) has ever explained exactly how adamantium is unmeltable/indestructable/unreshapable (apart from when Magneto decides to rip it...

Here are my suggestions on how to keep (almost) everyone happy: 1. Replace locked content with checklists. In other words you can jump to whichever checkpoint you want, whenever you want, and the game will keep track of the ones you've completed. 2. Unlock the 'Customisation' mode from the...

For "developers" you really mean "some guy in his bedroom". The game pre-dates the videogame industrial complex. I might be wrong about this, but I think said bedroom-coder actually admitted that JSW is in fact impossible to complete, so really it should be at the top of the list.

She just needs a good seeing to. By a fully qualified psychiatrist who can discuss her personal problems in detail, and recommend a healthy course of treatment and therapy to help her deal with any issues relating to men that could be having a negative effect on the overall quality of her...

The possessive apostrophe: it's always got to have everything. Or Time itself, which I think is the real killer in the Final Destination movies. Those kids aren't having premonitions, they're time travelling around a fixed point. I am not mental.

The problem is that we can't just skip a sequence when we get stuck on it, or just do a quick rewind to before we screwed up*, if we could do that then we wouldn't get so angry. The thing about having all the content locked when you start the game is bullshit. The Games Industry will never...

I didn't realise that time was measured in swatches now.

Being friends with your parents is pretty straightforward and normal. It's when you start having sex with them that it gets a bit awkward, but only at first.
