    Industry Stays Flat For November But PC Skyrockets

    It's pretty tiresome seeing all these people bash Skyrim. "Oh it was ported so poorly, oh it's so buggy, oh the graphics are so bad." Look we get it, you're a contrarian hipster who cannot like what other people like, but stop telling us about it.

    Poll: What is the artistic status of fanfiction?

    What you're talking about would be akin to me taking elements of style from an author, but fan fiction involves taking specific characters and settings. It's like when Vanilla Ice sampled Queen and tried to play it off like he didn't do it. I see where you want to come from, but there's a big...

    Poll: What is the artistic status of fanfiction?

    Using the setting, concepts, etc. still eliminates a lot of the workload for the fan fiction writer. If I took everything but the characters from Peanuts, and made a strip that imitated it closely without ever bringing in Charlie Brown, I'd still be ripping off Peanuts.

    Poll: What is the artistic status of fanfiction?

    It can have artistic qualities, as the writing could be good. Nice imagery, etc. Heck it might even be better than the original, though I've never come across such a phenomenon. But the bottom line: art must involve some originality, and basing your work entirely on someone else's work...

    In your opinion, what's one of the shittest (if not the shittest) product ever?

    Macbooks and the nimrods who use them.

    How Would You Kill Wolverine?

    Drown him. Wolverine himself admits, fairly recently in Wolverine: Weapon X, that deep water is his one true fear. His skeleton is bonded with a hundred plus pounds of metal, and even he has to breathe. Knock him out, stick some cement shoes on him, and drop him into the Pacific Ocean. Who...

    Reccomend me an awful game

    Final Fantasy XIII. Garbage. Absolute, utter, complete, fanboy-coddled, boring, rail-shooter-esque garbage. I'm not a big fan of the series in general, but this game was so bad that even positive reviews were unsubtle attempts to excuse the massive list of flaws rather than exultations of...

    Reccomend me an awful game

    So what you're saying is you don't understand that these stories aren't actually part of the game, and you don't know what "average" means so you resort to bad. Neat.

    What's the worst injury you've sustained?

    While playing in a football game for my highschool I got my left ring finger caught in someone's helmet. The finger was yanked back against the top of my wrist, I know because I felt it touch my skin and wondered how the hell that was happening, and then snapped back. This tore the tendons...

    Gay characters in children's cartoons

    Homosexuality is not nearly as common as heterosexuality. The purpose of all life, in the end, is to perpetuate itself. Homosexuality is counter-productive to that goal, and therefore abnormal. That's not to say gays are "icky" or "disgusting," and it's not offensive to point out basic...

    Canadian Scientists Cure Cancer... No One Notices?

    There's no "cure for cancer." Studies have been going on for two years with no evidence that this crap helps in the slightest. This post is either a troll or an ignorant person spreading that ignorance to a lot of people on the internet, not that spreading ignorance on the internet is...

    Canadian Scientists Cure Cancer... No One Notices?

    http://www.cancer.org/Treatment/TreatmentsandSideEffects/ComplementaryandAlternativeMedicine/PharmacologicalandBiologicalTreatment/dichloroacetate--dca- Thought I should link this real quick. The substance they're calling a "cure" is listed as a possible cancer causing agent by people who...

    Canadian Scientists Cure Cancer... No One Notices?

    This is either a troll or a post by someone who really doesn't understand what they're looking at, as the article is obviously complete crap. The rough English, the mentioning of cellular structures as independent cells in the body, etc. Ladies and gents, you're either being made fools of or...

    Games you didn't expect to turn out GREAT.

    Alpha Protocol, since I'd heard it was crap but I really enjoyed everything but the wonky combat. That sounds odd, but really my main complaint was how incredibly stupid the AI managed to be, as if they all spotted a chokepoint and decided I really needed to start using more full auto and less...
