I used to be completely against digital gaming. But then I started playing on PC, started getting "AAA" games for $20, I didn't have to fish around for the disk and didn't have to deal with GameStop or have my game arrive late because the mail is slow. All those manuals, maps, and boxes...

The mass relays are entirely based on element zero, the made up element everything in Mass Effect is based on. That's like asking why magic wasn't mentioned.

Scorpius from Farscape is by far one of the best villains ever. Especially when he's Harvey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOq0T980x8E There's also Gul Dukat from DS9; before they made him crazy, of course.

I don't get why people think ASoIaF is all that dark. It really isn't, it has good guys on every side and bad guys on every side, it just has a lot of bad crap happen, but it still has people who genuinely want to help and are still alive. Though the show seems intent on ruining some of...

Why can't "To beat the commies" be a good enough reason? There're still commies, and they need constant reminders that we're better than them.

Does Nick Cage play the Antichrist? Because that would be the greatest movie ever, Nick Cage as the Antichrist.

The only good "main" companion was Donna. The rest were relatively pants.

Yeah, Outlast had the silliest contrivance not allowing you to even try to kill those guys. The game got really repetitive when all you could do is run and hide. It got to the point where it wasn't scary as just annoying.

Where's Galactic Battlegrounds? I want to get that game but the only way to get it is by pirating, something I don't want to do. GOG needs to get GB on their site.

Why don't they just drop porting it to the obsolete last gen consoles and just make it PC and next gen? What's the point of having it on the last gen consoles? A Bungie game is a system seller for many people if I've ever seen on.

Uh, that's just not true, our capital was burnt down by the British in the War of 1812 and we had a civil war, not to mention the countless Indian wars. US soil has seen its fair share of war. Also, I wouldn't hold much of a grudge, because it was generations ago. Hardly anyone in WW2 is...

We nuked them and fire bombed half their cities; in which we purposefully targeted civilians, and Japan doesn't hate us or childishly talks about how evil we are all the time. They probably should hate us, but their government doesn't ferment that hate at every opportunity, like the PRC does...

No, but I'm sure China would greenlight any game involving the player committing genocide against the Japanese, like they do with movies. Hell, they'd probably publicly endorse the game.

So everything besides games specifically made to be communist propaganda?

That guy's lucky SWAT didn't kill him, those trigger happy bastards have been known to shoot first and ask questions never if you look at them funny when they bust into your house.
