Or, they have seen it, and didn't find it horrifying.

Pan's Labyrinth? Sure, it was a good movie, but I'd hardly call it horror.

Alessandra Ambrosio, if anyone's curious.

QFT. You can say, okay, yeah, they're beholden to stockholders and have to get their quarterly numbers looking good, but it seems like we've got to get to a point where people refuse to pre-order or day one purchase games sight unseen. That's the only way to break this ridiculous cycle. Don't...

Bethesda played this one perfectly. Got some funny press and good will, but dodged digging themselves into an impossible financial hole. I salute them.

Wow, just wow. That link to your story from 2010 about GFWL is the best thing I've read in a while.

I'm not a fan of government in general of the FTC in particular, but enforcing the law in cases of fraud is exactly appropriate. This is one of the few things the FTC should be doing to protect consumer and property rights. Good on them. I hope this prevents more fraudsters from trying to jump...

People need to stop saying "Han shot first." He didn't shoot first, because there was no other shot. Saying he shot first is a tacit admission that Greedo even had a chance to fire, which is false. He was blown away instantly before he knew what was happening.

The Dalek costume, really? If you're going to cosplay, you've gotta go all out. May as well put on a pair of those fake plastic headband ears and call yourself Batman. On the opposite extreme, the Baymax costume is phenomenal! Seems oversized, but I'm guessing that's because there's an actual...

Famous last words. There's ALWAYS more ground to break. Never underestimate human creativity.

The Pyramid Head one is awesome, simply for the fact that 1) he probably made a ton of people shit their pants and 2) that pyramid had to have been crazy heavy. Most of the rest are pretty great though.

That last comment about the NRA is pretty spot on. Made me think of the old Robert Heinlein quote: "An armed society is a polite society."

Totally agree. I'm really bummed that Yahtzee apologized for this. Comedy is meant to be politically incorrect and yes, sometimes offensive. He probably would have been in the clear if he'd followed up with NTTAWWT.

Solution to the boss fights problem would be to make all the bosses non-human, so that the racial memory thing wouldn't work. Robots, sharks, robot sharks, whatever.

I know this thread is old and dead, but I wanted to add my agreement about The Elder Scrolls theme song. That piece is amazing, catchy, and extremely popular. It's also quite hummable. A couple other amazing soundtracks are the ones for FTL: Faster Than Light and Terraria. Both are extremely...
