If you're ever looking into a character which is less interested in brute strength and more the flow of energy, Wing Chun is a great martial art to look into. It's all about manipulating your opponent's attacks to your advantage- no flashy throws or butterfly kicks, just basic, efficient...

Don't expect an analysis of common trends in female character writing, folks, I just have a question. I decided a few moments ago that I wanted to watch a new anime, but after just having watched Death Note again, I really just wanted to see a female character done right. So I decided to...

Theft. To be honest, after the major freaking out and possible obviousness if I start feeling perverted, I'll probably realise that being a different person for a day warrants a perfect alibi for whatever crime I could commit, as long as I don't get caught beforehand. Think about it: different...

I found that diving into a forward roll and swapping weapons at the same time is useful as an instant weapon-switch. I didn't really find the problems that a lot of you seemed to have had, and have stupidly spent my weekend grinding the multiplayer.

Cordialified water and caserole. I can live with that.

Halo: Reach's legendary ending; Saint's Row's random giant inflatable bunny; Liberty Statue's heart; the shifty looking cow from Mass Effect and the bubble gun in Just Cause 2

I am married to FemShep. I imagine that married life will consist of her never being around and me having to cope with the stress of having a military wife.

But that creates another problem in itself: synthetic life does not have biology, but it does have technology. Computers could be programmed to understand our morality, and if we ask them to create more technology then there is a chance (much less than the biological side) that the created...

Who says that it will be a deliberate event? The creation of an advanced synthetic mind could be the result of a series of an accident in code, modding that interact with other mods in strange ways, or even the product of a sub-sentient computer being told to build more advanced models. Your...

That law is put in place to protect the economical wellbeing of people who my be discriminated upon, it makes complete sense.

There is no reason that a few words should hold so much power over our society; if any absent-minded citizen has to lose a week's groceries due to saying a few words that others might find offensive then why don't we fine for excessive use of the word 'Darn' or 'Dang': same connotation...

It is a feared event. An event so ambiguous in nature that it could create entirely new forms of xenophobia. It is the singularity. The moment computational intelligence reaches the same level of consciousness as the people you see on the street, but it won't stop there. Fears and paranoia...

Due to my constant fantasising about dieing in a heroic sacrifice during a zombie apocalypse (ala L4D), I will have to go with "Just watch, I'm gonna give you the show of my life, kid" before promptly running off to set up some explosives or some-such. In a more likely scenario, in all...

I don't like Aussie Rules Footy, meaning I must turn in my Aussie card. I have watched the earlier seasons of Grey's Anatomy and enjoyed it. I happen to enjoy roleplaying as female characters. I don't have a 'strong' man to woman ratio of my social circle (1:3, maybe?) There is no sport...

I remember hearing that Japan and Germany only cover this topic in very broad strokes, there was a discussion I had when I went on holiday to Japan with a teacher that had never even heard of Pearl Harbour.
