No. Got nothing against bisexuals, but I have enough problems being attracted to the gender I'm "supposed" to be attracted to (for lack of a better way of describing how I fit into the gender-normative paradigm). I don't need to want to have sex with every sex and gender.

"Do you have gay?" ... Did someone really ask you that? That is adorable. I'd just want to pinch that poor confused Korean's cheeks and say "Dawww!" In any case, might make a fun conversation with my friend who lived in SE Asia for a while.

Two examples: Hawthorne Heights in "Ohio is for Lovers": "...you know you do/ you kill me well" Me: She kills you... "well"? As in, she does a good job killing you? You really couldn't come up with a better way to describe that? Maroon5 in "Payphone": "...even the sun sets in...

This whole Dragon's Crown thing has got me wondering about this. The point has been made that the bulked-up testosterone factory dudes in games like DC are intended to be male power fantasies and not female sexual fantasies. Agreed, but the keyword "intended" makes me wonder, if the shoe was...

The only reason anyone has to be upset about "Fake Geek Girls" is in situations where it's blatantly being used as a marketing strategy. "We're going to associate a pair of tits with your favorite pastimes for the express purpose of attracting you to purchase our goods and/or services". Of...

The moral of this story is that you can never control what people say and do to you. You can only control yourself, and how you respond to them. But I guess Fish must have played all renegade through Mass Effect 1. Oh well.

All these suggestions about exploding equipment and balls made of sharp things are fine and dandy, but I think it's more interesting to try to come up with a more subtle change that VASTLY increases the danger of a sport. Take football (soccer), for example. When a member of a team gets a...

In those genres, there's usually not anything inherently superior about the protagonists. At the most, they have exceptional talents in one or two distinct fields, but nothing superhuman. And there's usually the impression that a similarly-trained average Joe could pilot the giant robot or wear...

Probably not. Not really interested in having kids, after all. Yeah, probably been ninja'd by a dozen or so other smart-asses, but whatever. I had to get it out of my system.

For some reason, hearing about the Street Sharks has made me feel strangely empty. Like, "what is the point of the human race even existing when so much of our capital and effort gets squandered on making crap like this?" Maybe THAT'S the Big Picture.

"Fresh", I think, is a relative term here. I almost rolled my eyes hard enough to generate alternative energy for my house when I read that Last of Us features a zombie apocalypse. I guess it's just too boring for the world to end via the gradual economic downturn hitting a tipping point...

Personally, I like TotalBiscuit. I think he's very well-spoken, intelligent, hard working, and genuinely wants to do right by his audience. That said, he IS rather arrogant, particularly during the TGS Podcast. He frequently interrupts the other panelists, makes their points for them, and...

I don't think it's sexist, but it certainly is a more serious insult when directed at a woman. Kind of like how calling a man a whore is less serious than calling a woman a whore. Regardless, I find it odd that the word "****" is somehow cruder-sounding than the word "fuck". When I was...

Devil May Cry 2. The game itself had a lot of potential. I really found myself gelling around the darker, more gothic aesthetic of visuals, and I liked the designs of the enemies and bosses. The gameplay wasn't terrible either. Still, I was never quite able to like it. Devil May Cry 2, I...

For me, it's those sunglasses women started wearing in the mid 2000s. The ones with the gigantic frames/lenses that cover most of your face. I have a hypothesis that this style of women's sunglasses came into fashion because some celebrity decided to wear enormous sunglasses to make...
