    So why is it offensive to consider homosexuality as a choice?

    Probably because it being a choice means they could choose to not be gay, and this not be granted rights they feel they deserve.

    Poll: Do you listen to metal?

    Yeah I listen to some metal, but I listen to all sorts of rock so I'm not really a metalhead. Used to be really into Avenged Sevenfold when I was in high school, so real metal aficionados probably roll their eyes at my musical tastes

    Sims Dev: "Nobody" Questioned Inclusion of Same-Sex Relationships

    I wish you could choose sexual orientation in the sims. Its kinda frustrating when a sim based on yourself goes and hooks up with a sim based on your best friend when you aren't looking... But yeah, good for EA/MAXIS (Does maxis still make the Sims games? or just SimCity)

    Escape to the Movies: Star Trek: Into Darkness

    you're not wrong but...ok, I'm not a huge trekkie, but I enjoyed the film. Its not a great piece of art but its a fun action movie. It could have been more, but I like what it is. No, it does not hold up (story wise) to the original Khan, but I still enjoyed it a lot. Its worth noting that...

    Update: Chick's Dark Dungeons Film Seeks Kickstarter Cash

    Hi. I want to donate, but I'm curious, will you be directing? What (if any) experience do you have with filmmaking. Do you have any samples of you or your crews work we can see? Sorry if this seems rude, I just like to get a sense of where my money is going Regardless, looking forward to...

    J.J. Abrams Signs Up To Direct Star Wars VII

    yo, no one wanted it. People don't want to be known as the guy who killed star wars. Award winning directors don't want to be working under Disney and Lucasfilm to tell someone elses story. Meanwhile, Abrams is known for not only being commercially successful but also Critically...

    Games don't have problems creating good female characters...

    and when it is one or two games, thats fine. When it is this prevalent, it is worrisome I will agree, in general game writing sucks, but when the problem of bad female representation extends beyond games to all forms of media (except literature maybe?) then it is a problem, and not just people...

    J.J. Abrams Signs Up To Direct Star Wars VII

    [ except even Abrams said he used too much lens flare. Hence why super 8 only used it when it realistically could have happened. Plus all of the lens flare was done naturally, not in post. Furthermore, you are literally in the minority when you say star trek 09 was stupid. 95% (literally) of...

    Escape to the Movies: Cabin In The Woods

    But...He was screwed over by TV studios. Twice. There was no reason to Cancel Buffy or Angel except that it didnt fit their scheme for what the Studio wanted. Plus, Firefly was aired out of order. These are not him blaming so much as pointing out an unfortunate reality about the world of...

    Ten Different Teams Worked on Kinect Star Wars

    I don't own a Kinect. The dancing minigame isnt cannon. I dont care. Just another Star Wars game I will ignore

    Consequences

    I personally like the Orange and Teel color scheme if not overused. Transformers overuses it, but it makes sense aesthetically. Obviously there are plenty of other (arguably) better options, but overall digital color correction is a very cool feature

    Escape to the Movies: Wrath of the Titans

    I mean, to say a movie feels like a video game isnt saying video games are bad. The two are very different art forms. it generally means that the movie doesnt feel real, despite having been billed as a Live action movie. Similarly, people were critical of "Heavy Rain" for feeling to much like...

    Escape to the Movies: The Hunger Games

    I heavily disagree with Bob on this review. The movie's biggest issue is the slow pacing of the actual hunger games and the way that the love triangle feels inserted and unnatural. The shaky cam, in my opinion, helped to create the feeling of chaos that Katniss would have felt, where as...

    Zero Punctuation: Mass Effect 3

    Return of the King was better than the second LOTR movie. But beyond that I cant really think of too many ends of trilogies that live up to the expectation.
