    Historical Blindness?

    Turing's unfair treatment is seen as having been swept under the rug, so a lot of people were hoping a high-profile movie starring a famous and well liked actor would be more up-front about it, and they were disappointed that it didn't. Plus, like Bob said, the studio seems to be trying to...

    The Big Picture: American Sniper Sucks (And It's Okay To Admit That)

    I don't mind US soldiers and people who support US soldiers disagreeing with anti-war sentiment- I'm mean it's pretty expected- but I have never understood the "if they weren't out there fighting you wouldn't be free to say that/enjoy the free speech we got for you asshole" sentiment. None of...

    Yes, Women in Dragon Age Could Use Longswords

    I do not get arguments like this. Even if it was literally impossible for women to wield two-handed swords (or do anything else a game might feature) in real life, that can be easily dismissed because Dragon Age allows players to make female characters and it would be Some Bullshit if the game...

    Poll: Do you still pre-order games?

    The only reason I ever pre-ordered games was if I was afraid they'd sell out on launch day. That doesn't seem to happen anymore, and almost everything is available digitally anyway so there's no point.

    A Plethora of Content Producers Leave Channel Awesome

    I've been hearing (via people who left earlier) that a *lot* of shit went on vis a vis the management being terrible that's never been made public. With so many people leaving, I wonder if some of it will come to light now...

    Whoops! Blizzard May Need To Change Overwatch's Name

    I don't think I'd want my smartphone anywhere near airsoft pellets. Those things could probably crack a screen.

    Elder Scrolls Online Removes Six-Month Subs, F2P Rumors Arise

    I haven't played this precisely because I don't want to pay a subscription for it. If it goes free to play I'll probably check it out.

    2015 Ascending (In Movies)

    Apart from Inside Out, nothing this year is really grabbing my interest. I'll see Star Wars just because I've absorbed enough of the attitudes on that franchise to be curious, but there's nothing I'm sitting here dying to see.

    Why can't many games do exploration as well as Skyrim?

    I probably value exploration over any other gameplay activity, but I'm somewhat dismayed that it seems to so often come parcelled into large open world games, which often feel like they're full of padding and uninteresting filler. I wish more developers would embrace exploration in more...

    Gay Relationships

    Isn't it so nice that we can discuss this topic politely? I mean, there's no wrong answers here! It's just a matter of opinion! It's not like hostility to gay people has any real-world consequences, right? Anyway in the spirit of the thread, I think gay relationships should have no social...

    The Fast and the Trekkiest

    I still kind of wish they'd do another TV series so the movies could be their own thing without die-hard fans of the source material getting mad. It's clear no one is going to pony up the money for a "proper" Trek movie any time soon, but surely they could manage a TV show? I imagine the...

    GX3 Bringing Inclusivity to Gaming Conventions in December 2015

    I still do not understand the befuddlement that some people feel (or claim to feel) whenever this topic gets brought up. Is it really *that* difficult to understand why a relatively small minority group that has historically been subject to a lot of hostility might value a convention that's...

    Persona 5 Coming to North America "Following the Japan Release"

    Is anyone else getting slightly worried that we still haven't seen anything at all of this?

    It's Hard Out There for a (Critic)

    I think a lot of the reason for this is that the movie critic is reviewing the movie, whereas the food critic is reviewing the restaurant. Although now that I think about it, given how expensive a trip to the cinema is and how wildly variable my experience as far as sound/image/popcorn...

    Star Wars' "Black Stormtrooper" to Critics: "Get Used to it"

    They did film in actual deserts, in Abu Dhabi. I don't think that background is CG.
