Well, Escapist, you've finally done it. After the content creators exodus, the ad block war, the parting of ways with Susan Arendt, now Zero Punctuation won't play on any of my browsers. And you know... I don't even care that much. So long, and thanks for all the fish So sad that it should...

Where's that Buzz Lightyear meme when you need it? League of Legends... League of Legends everywhere...

Rule Number Three: Play Fair Hahahahaha, no. See, here's the thing about most RPGs, particularly D&D: one series of bad rolls can wipe a party. Who wants that? No one. I don't, my players don't, it just isn't any fun. So when that trap goes off and gets, somehow, 10 sixes on a 10D6 roll...

I honestly can't tell if they're surprisingly good-natured about this, or if they're so out of touch they actually believe "$ = quality".

The problem will be you're fighting a jedi/sith, and they're force sensitive. A lot of people complained about how choreographed the prequel fights looked, but it always made sense to me: they already know what their opponent is going to do. This makes a lightsaber battle more like acrobatic...

Yes, that's clearly the most important part of my rant. And easily solved by adjustable blade lengths. So... yeah.

The problem with the cross-guard lightsaber, from my thinking, is that it highlights a problem lightsabers have always had: if I slide my lightsaber down your lightsaber, I will cut off your hand. We can argue that, like the katanas they're based on, the fighting style employed by lightsabers...

Wait wait wait... GLaDOS is a... heroine? What Portal did you play?

Look, these kinds of studies always bother me, because when they're reported (and sometimes even within the study itself), people miss the point: humans can't multitask well. There are certain things we can multitask okay (driving and listening to the radio), but as soon as things get more...

Like you Dan, I too have a generalized aversion to anime. The whole "I pull sledgehammers out of my butt", "if you yell you become thirty feet tall", and "giant sweat drops mean embarrassment" are stylistic things I just can't get onboard with. Beyond that, one of my friends and I were...

Everything the Joker did was a joke. They just weren't jokes that many people find funny.

What was the best and, arguably, the most mature of the recent (highly successful) Batman films? What was it? The Dark Knight? With the villain of, wait for it, the Joker? Oh, yes, DC, this is going to go so well.

I was a making a joke. Here's your entire original thesis and argument regarding the Chinese paper: You've got one point for it being off from the NASA results buried behind a paragraph of irrelevant complaining about the format of the paper. To highlight this, I complained about your...

I'm sorry, I can't take your comment about not being able to trust science if the translation isn't properly formatted seriously when you misspell "sketchy".

This could actually be a really cool mo-- Oh, the Asylum? No, it's going to be terrible. Also, you can't just say someone's from Buffy when they had an unnamed role in a single episode, particularly if you're trying to show that the person's a badass and they were essentially just one of...
