Honestly it's really easy to show these people up. All Bioware would have to do is say "Yep. you can marry whomever you please in our game, and if you have a problem with that you're a horrible human being."

I bought CoD4 and thought it was great and innovative. I bought MW2 and thought it was a nice little rehash in the single player department but a broken steaming turd multiplayer wise. I bought Blops and thought "Same game, slightly different setting." I didn't buy MW3 because even the...

I'm far too used to it. I live in Scotland, the word "fucking" is used as a comma over here.

An officer was attacked with a crowbar whilst defenceless. The second officer opened fire and shot as many times as was necessary to drop the target. Sad and brutal, but justified.

Honestly I don't see how this could have played out any other way than it did. Even if those cops had been carrying less than lethal weapons, when they saw what they believed to be a gun they were right to go for theirs over anything else.

The argument that feminists make of a rape culture blaming the victim is flawed in that a poster campaign wouldn't really work as well on rapists as their intended victims. That's my personal opinion but I'm willing to bet any objective study would show that to be the case. There's also the...

I volunteer my Saturdays in a Salvation Army charity shop. Neither I nor a single person in there has anti-gay views, or for that matter nobody I work with even believes in God. We do it anyway because we know it helps people, and I think that the same spirit should be applied when considering...

Anti-Piracy laws. Yarr.

My only problem with Jimmy is that he doesn't engage with the viewer. It's true in public speaking and it's true in videos: People need to see your eyes. Lose the shades, Jim.

David Bowie and Freddie Mercury. Awwww fu-

Am I the only one that kinda wants to see this list?

These terms are quite subjective, I think. Each one can have a very different meaning or effect. I find some terms stupid like insisting upon "firefighter" over "fireman" or "police officer" over "policeman". In my opinion the suffix "man" is just an archaic term for the job, not specifically...

Either absolutely nothing will happen, or the following few days are going to be hilarious at WBC's expense.

CoD started out as a WWII shooter in a sea of WWII shooters, so I'd argue it wasn't really ever creative in the first place. As for charm, after MW1 everything pretty much fell apart. Blops, however, is showing some promise.

Well guys, the time has come for me to go start my paper now. Thanks for the opinions, they accurately and articulately pin down what's been said in just about every other discussion of this nature I've had, and some posts were astonishingly well thought out, and to a certain extent researched...
