    Pacific Rim was on 1 Screen Per Cinema in my Location, Anyone else?

    Toronto, Canada: multiple theatres and multiple showings here. That being said, it's impossible to get a regular ticket. Everything is 3D or Ultra AVX. That kind of cash grab really repels me from going to see movies when they release.

    Canadians get a 3DS for $99

    Just called every store on the west side of the GTA. Most of them were out of stock or only had pink 3DS XLs. Joy. :/ Thanks for the heads up though. I'll keep pestering them.

    Worst Experience With a Gaming Community

    League of Legends. The most angry, immature, petulant community I have ever had the misfortune of being exposed to.

    Is JC HURT better than the NIN version

    I prefer the NIN version. Reznor sings with more inflections and that draws more of an emotional response from me. Though I can definitely see why some people prefer the Cash version: the context, his age, and his voice definitely set a mood.

    Poll: Who buys the condoms?

    I buy the condoms, she buys birth control. More or less we're each buying the prophylactics that pertain directly to us.

    When's the last time you had sex?

    Twice this morning. Girlfriends with generous libidos are the best.

    Show Me Your Journo-Face

    This one gave me a good laugh. I've had the misfortune of being in similar situations, i.e a lecture on urban poverty.

    Poll: How much do you hate the "My Little Bear" commercial?

    Logo looks well made. The commercial is a commercial- I rarely view them with anything but apathy.

    The Equine Phenomenon: My Analysis of the Popularity of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

    Not going to lie, I came in here just to see pictures of ponies... I am profoundly glad my girlfriend likes it as much as I do. I can imagine strained conversations for people not enjoying that circumstance.

    This makes me fear our future.

    Sickening. I'm appalled that the teachers essentially stood back with their arms crossed and "not my business." What's more horrifying is that the extreme religious right could influence schools to the point of causing this catastrophe. I don't want to turn this into religion-bashing, but these...

    To those who prefer Japanese voices...

    Here's the simple formula for an acceptable English dub: Atlus game + Troy Baker = Job well done. Atlus in particular does a pretty good job with voice casting. I find that a lot of people tend to like Japanese voiceovers because they have an incomprehensible foreign mystique. That and...

    Curt Schilling Defends Kingdoms of Amalur Online Pass

    The content is typically finished after the product goes gold. They can't put it on the CD because the CDs are made. It's called incentive. Car dealerships do it, Wal Mart does it, and your local bakery probably does it. You reward people who buy your product from you. If game developers create...
