Dude, don't tie me in with you. Do you know who he compared to ISIS? Angry guys who use threats of extrajudicial reprisal to enforce their ideological points. That sure as shit isn't me, and if that's you, if you feel identified by that, then honestly, you deserve to feel insulted. In the...

The problem is that there are people for whom equality and social justice are a zero sum game, and for whom every victory women, LGBT folk and POC gain is a loss. They're called really mediocre people, people who inhabit socially favoured demographics but who are actually quite shit on an...

I feel kind of like this is very reductive, like the old-school film critics condemning "Bonnie and Clyde" for being violent and ugly, assuming up-front that all films were supposed to be was sequences of pretty images. If something in a work is the way it is to get across a point, and it...

From what I can see, this'll only attract the people too ugly/socially inept/eternally adolescent to use a regular hookup site. So I guess it's nice that they've got a shot now too.

Biiiiig post-rock/post-metal fan here. It helps that I'm an instrumentalist, I think, because I find that vocals are there because people "get" them. They offer an easy way to comprehend and interface with the music. Without that, a lot of people seem to not really know what to make of the...

So glad to see this brought up. The sexism a lot of girls in nerd culture face is horrific - mostly because it's still pretty dominated by socially awkward beta males who've built up a seething resentment towards the women who never talked to them. But yeah, the childish, churlish, socially...

This, kids, is called privilege. The idea that your group is the only one that isn't all dark and scary and sexy and will corrupt children. The fact is that any actual argument against this is likely to stem from a perspective of homosexuality or bisexuality that, consciously or...

No, because his opinion doesn't affect my enjoyment of the game. His opinion is not more or less right than mine.

And as a PC gamer, I've been running CoD at 75fps for years. Good job the rest of the game looks interesting, because this is just sad.

As a proof-of-concept, count me in. I've loved the last few Tomb Raiders, but it's interesting to see a much more grounded take on the mythos.

I don't think the two things are incompatible. However, I think that morality largely comes from behaviours which have, through natural selection, been bred into us in order to create the most harmonious society possible, whereas logic is a higher brain function which requires greater active...

I couldn't agree with this less. Giving gun rights to civilians is the reason the US has more murders with guns than the european population equivalent. You can't have average people thinking they have justification for killing. Though I do love how some Americans would have everyone armed than...

I loved the game. Mind you, I'm kind of Bioware's *****.

No, because this is a news story about Japan. It begins and ends in Japan, and even in terms of countries giving aid, America is one of many. America doesn't matter in this story. And yet, they make it about them by proclaiming that it's karmaic payback for Pearl Harbour.

If the tsunami's payback for pearl harbour, I can't wait to see what mother nature's cooked up for the nuke strike on Hiroshima. Though I have to love how FUCKING EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS IN THE WORLD IS SECRETLY ABOUT AMERICA.
