    My daughter is named Tali'Zorah. I suppose I'm crazy : )

    Others have already mentioned it but the main problem won't be bullying, as that can happen to normally named kids too. Scientifically and statistically, an unusually named person just has a harder time throughout ALL their life, even without being bullied. I'm sure we all know that every...

    Unskippable: The Last of Us, Part 3

    Yeah... children dying isn't funny, but there was no child dying here, just a plot device anyone who has been near a screen in the modern world has already seen hundreds of times. Later in the game things might become very emotional and moving, but here? A character who I knew had a 95% chance...

    Killing is Too Easy

    I haven't played an FPS for a long time, except for Spec Ops to see what all the hype was about, and I definitely felt the disconnect about all the killing there. But for me, personally, I've almost always had this kind of feeling to some degree in games where we are killing people who aren't...

    Unskippable: BioShock Infinite

    I never comment just for the sake of a comment, but this Unskippable just made me happy. Funny the whole way through.

    Changing my name (Yes I'm serious)

    I only read the first 2 pages of this thread, but I still see some pretty stupid people posting on the seventh page. He has considered all the consequences you're mentioning and either you're wrong about it affecting him, like the job and credit checks or whatever else, or he doesn't care...

    Electronic Arts Signs Exclusive Star Wars Game Deal With Disney

    Really? 5 pages and not a single "I feel a great disturbance" paraphrasing? I'm simultaneously a little disappointed, but also proud. Well done internet.

    Scientists Create Extra-Long Life Beer

    The implication that we drunk Fosters had much higher priority on the scale of insults.

    Jimquisition: Accepting the Isms

    Actually, I'd already seen Movie Defence force before watching this video. So, I went and watched it again because Jim asked me to, and I'd hate if he was sad. :(

    LoadingReadyRun: Resolved

    Seconded. It would probably also be the most watched online video in Australia for weeks.

    Disney Acquires Lucasfilm

    This cannot be a bad thing. New Star Wars material hasn't filled me with "Oooo, more Star Wars!" delight in over a decade. Hence, if George announced a new Star Wars 7, or new tv show or something, I'd have absolutely zero hope or anticipation for it. If it was the mess I was expecting, ...

    League of Legends Player Accidentally Streams Masturbation

    This is the only place I've seen this, but if it's true, this pretty much confirms that it was intentional. A pro-gamer taking a page from Paris Hilton's book. Make a "sex" tape for free popularity. Especially with the whole "being completely unembarrassed" thing, he even went so far as to...

    Escape to the Movies: Taken 2

    My own personal wish-fulfillment would be to wish this situation on people who want to be in it so badly. It's a win-win. They get a chance to live their dream of being an action hero, and I get to be smug about being right when they find out that criminal empires are usually empires because...

    Escape to the Movies: Taken 2

    He's not over thinking it, he was just talking about how it was marketed. It would be nice to think these movies are funded by someone bursting into a boardroom and shouting, "I wanna make a movie about Liam Neeson shooting shit!" to which the producers all simultaneously replied, "Awwww hells...

    Escape to the Movies: Taken 2

    Because people liked Captain Jack Sparrow in the pirate movies, so to make people like your cowboy movie you have to give them Chief Flies-with-Sparrows. Obviously. It's the same reason why everyone and their grandmother had lightsabers in the prequels. You thought they were cool in the first...

    The Big Picture: Worlds Within Worlds

    Seriously serious people, don't be so serious. Weren't you allowed to play with toys as a kid or something? We've got many people on here saying "That's pretty fun to look at!", "I wonder if I can link (my favourite show) into it somehow!", "I can make Justin Beiber disappear!" and "Oh no...
