Fantastic. Sorry I don't have anything more insightful.

I knew the after-credits bit was going to be about Paul hitting his head. I saw that in the cold shower take too and I was like "Yikes, that looks like that would really hurt, but maybe not, he didn't move." Yes, he is a consummate professional.

I guess I showed up too late to the party to take the piss out of George Lucas for talking about dialog. Oh well! "You can't have all your characters say what they're feeling! That makes me angry!" ~The Robot Devil

How obnoxious. I pre-ordered the CE from Best Buy already. Then again, I think I actually have five bucks sitting on something I never got at the accursed GameStop near me... maybe I'll go transfer that over to Starcraft this evening and get in on this.

This is kind of a weird stretch to make something an Escapist news story I think. I'm not normally one to consider something in poor taste, but taking a random disease that causes mental retardation and going off on a random tangent about elves simply because of a descriptor in the study seems...

Man, this gets asked a lot. People really love badges and usertitles that much? Incomprehensible to me, but good that they were included I guess. If I were making a bundle I never would have thought that such tiny things would attract people. I'm glad I wasn't making the bundle.

Cue conspiracy theorists saying that Graham has been coopted or brainwashed! Seriously, I'm glad one of you guys came in to say something like this. I never presume that one random member can speak for a group as large and diverse as the LRR fanbase. I'm a member of that group and people...

Maybe I'm just too charitable with my trust, but I figure the people who run the Escapist thought of this and decided it was worth it. They have better figures on such things than we do. Online communities are a great thing, but the sense of entitlement among members can run amuck and start to...

Now this is phrased in a way that makes a lot more sense and doesn't just sound like someone who wants to be angry. I love LRR. I watched it independently of The Escapist. The video quality was never really a big deal for me. LRR was very generous to offer high-quality video, but it is a...

You know what I don't need more of? Coffee cups, t-shirts that don't come in tall, and nicknacks to junk up my desk! Merchandise is one way to go, but if you read the article here, no one's really sure how to finance this kind of content. The web isn't a place where one size fits all...

What is this, Loading Ready La Reistance? The banning thing mentioned by another poster is an interesting question, I suppose, but doesn't a ban just affect the forums. Wouldn't all the features remain intact? I haven't a clue, I've never been in that situation.

Paying money to get rid of ads that otherwise generate money in a similar fashion is a sell-out? I guess it's more of a BUY out really. I'm still firmly of the opinion that anyone who uses the phrase "sell out" to mean something other than "We are out of stock because we sold it all" is...

Sarcastic and harsh people on your internet? It's more likely than you think. That being said, I've already been enjoying the 1 page articles. That was a great thing to add. I think the grab bag of little goodies style is a good way to do this. Non-subscribers, be they willful or...

I'm on board with this. I like supporting websites that I frequent and if they're going to give me something in return, it's just as well. Also, anything to get rid of those really creepy looking pasta advertisements. The wriggling is very unnerving.

I was really hoping that the removal of firepower (the Civ 2 hidden stat) from future versions which allowed men with sticks to reliably defeat a tank would show up in there. I think that's a little worse than a few mistakes from Civ 1 that no one saw or remembered. Though the randomized...
