Xbox One: Hubris Much?
I have yet to see anyone mention used games in the context of long term. Every comment I've seen is talking about getting games cheap, testing them out or whatever but these are new games being resold. What about the old games? I buy used games…

Lord of the Rings (Because Dave hates Twitter conversations and happiness)
I would've been pro freestyle rap battle between the orcs and Uruk-hai. We have already established that Gandalf and Saruman engaged in a breakdance battle at the top of the tower of Isengard.

THE G IN GIF STANDS FOR GRAPHICS HOW THE FUCK DO YOU THINK GRAPHICS IS PRONOUNCED. This would be like Linus Torvalds saying "I pronounce Linux as LIE-nux even though that is the opposite of how my name is pronounced."

Xbox One: Hubris Much?
"(Verb) much?" is one of my least favorite sentences, edged out by "(Noun) much?" What does that even mean? Yes, Xbox One appears to hubris. They're hubrising a whole bunch. All day, erry day. I grant what you're sayin…

As far as I can tell, the licensed brothel system began before the occupation really began, so there may not be a pre-brothel statistic. The RAA was established in anticipation of such a problem occurring during the occupation, rather than as a resp…

What Are You Watching / Listening Right Now ?
Watched the new Detective Conan Movie: The Eleventh Striker . Nothing regarding about the Black organization or Kid , so pretty much just a filler movie. Animation was top notch , but I think DC has done better crazy bomber episodes and movies befo…

Because I haven't posted an anime gif in awhile and it's too big for tumblr. Nice. I need to make more Detective Conan gifs. Maybe the scene from Raven Chaser where she dodges a bullet? Or possibly the end to that movie where it's C…

I mean at least they're part of a relatively fringe group. They are vaguely on the level of some asshole in the middle of nowhere citing "the war of northern aggression." If that asshole in the middle of nowhere were the mayor of a …

Yeah, because 20 years of a show is equal to 1 season of a cartoon. What? It's not, I just mean I think paying $500 for 20 years of a show is ridiculous, which makes paying that much for 1 season even more ridiculous. I'm still not su…

I'd do it for like 50 grand. I'm SURE that guy is getting 50 grand. SURE. If that guy won Ninja Warrior somehow from that room while watching One Piece he wouldn't get 50 grand.

just don't have any faith in them making something that's even competent. I would be happy to be proven wrong, but I choose to be proven wrong in a way that doesn't involve me contributing to their "kickstarter." I also l…

Structurally, I think it's a perfectly adequate narrative device to just go back and read more chapters from the Tome of Eternal Darkness and follow these poor jerks who get screwed over by the Old Ones in history. Eternal Darkness was great, b…

It's true, her story checks out. Wizard People, Dear Reader is one of my favorites, but sadly it's one of those things where the author's later works aren't quite as funny.

Who would pay $500 for any TV show? Thats absurd Japan pricing. http://www.amazon.com/Law-Order-The-Complete-Series/dp/B005HU0TBI

Against the evil, blue-helmeted robots sent by the Godless U.N. to enslave them, clearly. You don't talk about Mega Man that way on this forum and disrespect his memory.

Also, isn't the current popular narrative that Nintendo fixed most of Eternal Darkness' glaring issues and that's why it didn't suck? I'd love a sequel, but I'm not convinced Denis Dyack isn't a headstrong egotist…

It's a problem that solves itself: if the kid dies, the parent gets to suffer and the gene pool is likely improved. I'm not sure you understand how genetics work. If we fully map the human genome and there is a gene for "proper fire…

If that was the case then they would all be squashed at the back of the ship whenever they went through a mass relay. Spinning clearly overloads the usual inertial dampeners like when the Enterprise gets hit with a torpedo and the crew has to wiggl…

Most of what I'm calling bullshit is this: From the comments (and basically the article): "Nah yo, this is rape @geoffreykenneth. How Danny chooses to act after it happens doesn't negate the fact that someone forced themselves on him…

It's a fair point that we don't know what was going through his head at the time and that the hypermasculinity of rap culture, and the importance of cultivating an "image" in his chosen career creates a disincentive for him to st…

It boggles my mind that DSP has fans. He's not great at a lot of games, but he just tries to be annoying and angry about it rather than funny? Then I saw some of his series where he reviews snack foods and pizza?! I watch a lot of stupid crap o…

A very interesting point. It's worth examining why when public hate of Chris Brown will get you props and retweets, while people would probably be confused if you were like "SEAN PENN IS A PIECE OF SHIT DONT SEE HIS MOVIES" The narra…
