    Pro-life

    While the story you referenced is genuine, your dates are off. A quick google search noted the baby was born nine weeks premature, therefore near the seven month mark. Abortion is only possible during very early stages of pregnancy, approximately twenty weeks, although it varies from state to...

    So i got FF XIII does it get interesting or fun at any point?

    Game review sites rarely are thorough, and adhere to one principle; explain to a person with no prior knowledge of the game/series about why they may or may not enjoy it. With this in mind, the review must than incorporate sound, gameplay, mechanics, story, characters, and a who slew of things...

    Poll: Are you an achievement/trophy whore?

    I actually had an argument with someone on this subject. She was insistent if she could not get 100% on her games, which would deem them unworthy of purchase. Our cross stemmed from her wanting achievements to be easily acquired, like for instance, leaving the Insanity difficulty in Mass Effect...

    Did Twilight really suck that much?

    Poorly written pertains to plot holes, lack of exposition, hand waves, inconsistency in the narrative, utilizing of a deus ex machina and etc. A reader is often expected to overlook some as no work is flawless, and in particular rare instances some authors actually manage the impressive feat of...

    Did Twilight really suck that much?

    My disdain for it derives from horrendously poor writing, be it pertaining to the plot itself or the characters within. We have scenes with no logic rationality behind how they reached that conclusion; Edward abruptly loving Bella for instance. Not to mention terrible over abundance of purple...

    Xbox Owner Sues Microsoft for $500 Billion (Yes, Billion)

    Frankly, even if this insanity had any merit. You cannot simply mail documents and declare victory. It is required the defendant be served directly, in which case would mean an executive or someone within Microsoft's legal division, not some random employee.

    Poll: Do you believe in the Second Amendment?

    I have a penchant for weaponry of all kind and like to collect them as a hobby. Unfortunately, being that I live in Canada, it is rather disappointing to have assault rifles banned. Frankly our gun laws here are ridiculously and unnecessarily strict. The US does a fine job and I would support...

    Chinese Parents Sell Kids To Fund Gaming Habits

    Dunno if this is enough but I'm bringing in the full arsenal of facepalms! No words can say it better...

    How is 2011 can we have these toys for girls?

    No, no she will not, unless of course she happens to like stories/novels. If that is not her particular field of interest, then you are effectively wasting your money as they will inevitably find their way to the trash bin. Of course I am considering older children in this scenario more so than...

    Teenage jounralist could get 15 years in jail for online protest.

    What is there is question? Hacking into a company is a felony, she is well aware of this and chose to do so anyway. No one ruined her life. She willingly thought attacking companies' websites because they cut support to a site she happened to fancy was legitimate and a "just cause!" You further...

    Teenage jounralist could get 15 years in jail for online protest.

    She, and others, hacked into, and temporarily suspended, numerous multi-million dollar credit related companies solely because they terminated support to WikiLeaks. That is hardly a "peaceful protest" and liable to have cost them a significant financial loss. It does not help matters WikiLeaks...

    Poll: Bioware Wants Our Opinion on FemShep

    This is likely to be only for an alternate box cover and to use her in marketing. I would not be remotely surprised if they merely slipped an extra sheet into the game case and left all copies with Sheploo on the front. Regardless, they have said there will be an overhaul of the creator, with...

    why do people like bioware games so much?

    No, however the OP was asking we fans of the series to be objective and explain what attracts them to BioWare. What you quoted is the cop out answer where people cannot accept any criticism to their beloved game. Were we to accept the aforementioned then theoretically speaking, no one should be...

    why do people like bioware games so much?

    Not to get into a mammoth of a debate but ME2's main plot is the definition of a plothole riddled mess and lack much required exposition. To use the examples you touched upon, Shepard is forced to work with Cerberus disregarding their past atrocities and simply taking TIM's word at face value...
