    Walk All Over Cthulhu With These Amazing Carpets

    I don't see anything about prices or how to purchase anywhere.

    CNN RapeLay Controversy Sparks Angry Response

    While freely admitting that CNN were idiots about this and Mr Nogami had a right to be offended... Japan is a country in which many trains have Woman Only sections on trains because of the incredibly high numbers of woman that get molested on them, and whose cultural practices actively...

    Trope-a-Dope

    Sure, things don't need to be entirely original to be good or great. I'm a fan of Arthurian mythos and that stuff crops up all the time in everything. That's fine. What's not fine (to me) is going into a movie because you've had a really stressful week and want to relax and being treated to a...

    Nintendo No Longer Supports WiiWare Demos

    Fan-friggin-tastic. I'd just started using those.

    Superman Could Get Dark Knight Treatment

    Short answer; Superman wins as often as the other heroes. Superman is as powerful or capable as the situation calls for. Like the other superheroes. Including Batman. It's just become popular to dump on him specifically. Read comics.

    Superman Could Get Dark Knight Treatment

    I doubt we'll ever see an Elseworlds story on the big screen. They work in comics because they assume you already know everything about the characters in their normal 'verse; basically, they're for the people that already know the in's and out's of the characters. Movies have a wider...

    Superman Could Get Dark Knight Treatment

    Grant Morrison's All Star Superman features a Superman more powerful than pretty much any since his Silver Age days in the 60's, and it is balls to the wall fantastic. Also, more on Doomsday and The Death of Superman; Doomsday came about because the current writers had no idea what to do with...

    Superman Could Get Dark Knight Treatment

    Apart from the big surprise that he actually killed (sort of) Superman, Doomsday is a boring, one note villain with zero personality. Sure, Superman vs Evil Hulk sounds good if you're trying to market it to the 12-14 year old demographic and exclude everyone else, but nobody in marketing is that...

    Decade of the Nerd

    That was kind of a failed quote. I was trying to say that I take offense to the idea that "Western" cartoons are somehow bad and that anime is inherently superior, I'm not sure if that came across. There's plenty of great cartoons, and the animation styles themselves are so different that each...

    Decade of the Nerd

    The whole "nerd" stigma always confused me. I was never really a full part of any clique in school, I could fit in anywhere. I never really got shit for hanging out with the nerds, or reading during class or study hall, or for playing video games and talking about them. Maybe it's because I...

    There Will Be Brawl Series Finale This Friday

    Hate to say it but... I'll believe it when I see it, not until then.

    MovieBob's Best Of 2009

    [quoteAll Along the Watchtower breaking all the immersion during the Artic ride (dammit, I don't care if the song was quoted at the chapter preface, the lyrics had relevance, the tone of the song does not!). I agree that it pulled you out of the movie, but for me personally it did it in an...

    Demon's Souls

    The best way to get Atkinson's attention is by being polite, using facts, and voicing disagreement towards his policies. The best you're going to get out of spamming his inbox or by sending hundreds of rude e-mails is him changing his e-mail, and the worst that could happen is him deciding that...

    Reliable Source: Megan Fox Wins VGA for Best Human 2009

    I don't mean to be a dick, but it's obviously Gonzo journalism. Specifically Hunter S Thompson-esque style (which I guess he described as failed Gonzo, but close enough). I'm ruining a really good joke by explaining it, but since some people don't get it... The winners he named and his...
