    #019: Faint Praise

    Being one helps in understanding one. But to tackle your point, yes they do. A social outcast can meet another social outcast in places where they're forced to interact (e.g. school).

    Confession time: when you accidentally become the stereotype you hate

    Sometimes the angry incomprehensible gamer. Sometimes the condescending know-it-all. Sometimes the bragging douche. Sometimes the pathetic loner. But as with anything, it is a matter of vigilance not to actually become any of them.

    Ask A Missionary A Question

    What makes you think you have such a grasp on the knowledge of the universe over any other religion or philosophy? Let alone enough so to start trying to convert other people to yours. If the answer is faith, I ask you; why would anyone share your faith in your specific god over any others?

    For the person who created the Windows Update System, death is too good.

    I know 'violent threats' are on the mind today, but this is not a threat of violence. 1. It wasn't sent to the person. 2. It is clearly hyperbolic. Calm thyselves. Also I agree, the Windows update system can die in a fire.

    Everyday Is A Horror Movie

    If you end up thinning out on ideas, I'd recommend Cinemasacre's Monster Madness. It's been running for years.

    Star Citizen LEGO Build On Path to Become Official Set - Update

    "We reached out to Cloud Imperium Games to see if the mind's behind Star Citizen had any response to the successful Ideas campaigns." Grammar. Anyhow, I think Lego will, and would be wise to wait until SC has received a full release, and has garnered a decent amount more popularity.

    Should Every Game Allow You to Choose Your Gender?

    Yahtzee you brilliant bastion of sensibility, you've hit it right on the nail. The same can be applied to other problematic tropes, for example I had difficulty identifying with the main character in the first season of The Walking Dead, not because he was black, but because he was a murderer...

    Now for something different: Sexy, Sexy Starfighters

    No Star Citizen love yet? Bah. That's just the concept drawing though. The full ship has yet to be fully realised (it's getting close though).

    Microsoft Bought Minecraft for How Much?

    So I guess that thing where Notch was going to release the source code isn't going to happen now eh? I can't see a way that Microsoft isn't going to ruin Minecraft.

    Australia Finally Uncensors Left 4 Dead 2

    Well now I might actually get around to buying it. When it goes on sale. Maybe.

    Uncivil War: Sonic the Hedgehog - Who Can Kill Less Robots?

    Kill as many people in a Dishonored mission as fast as possible. Clean hands? More like FILTHY HANDS.

    Why Straight White Guys Shouldn't Always Play Games As Themselves

    Playing The Walking Dead I never once acted differently that I ought to because of my character's race, sexuality or age (unless of course those things were actually brought into question). Perhaps one should re-examine one's own prejudices.

    Escape to the Movies: Lucy - It's Almost a Black Widow Movie

    The primary difference between the pseudoscience of sci-fi generally and the 10% brain thing is the following. When sci-fi movies tend to use technology as a means to the end, they tend to explain it in terms of future realms of possibility, they rarely try to justify it on current science, and...
