Basically this. It's pretty clear-cut that racism is being prejudiced towards a select race or group of races, so yes, he is racist. In this case, I don't see it as much of an issue; it's a benign kind of racism, purely towards their physical traits. It he wasn't going to date people with a...

Sounds like an awful bunch of fear-mongering to me, not that I know much about Google's plans. Statements from the presenter are put in the same style as quotes from the company (but without the quotation marks, of course) and, for another thing, the presenter confuses "owning your computer"...

I'd love a steampunk X-Com. That's what this is, right?

Does this mean we'll start seeing authentic fish fingers in shops? I think it does!

I get the feeling that the idea behind Valve's comment is that because we're putting extra buttons on mouses, we need a better system. You could call it ease of access that we've got buttons bound to our keyboard for commands, but isn't that just another way of saying that the small cluster of...

Well, boss, without any Ad Infinitum Siphons the SOULs would get bored, wouldn't they? ---- Philosophically, I feel that in a "divine realm" (Heaven or Hell, for example) "Boredom" would simply be abolished. You would never become tired of anything in and of itself - in Heaven, you would...

I'm satisfied with this, as long as this Native American Assassin is kept to the side of the main storyline of Desmond. It'd be thrilling if they did a contrast between Desmond and this new character, as they both learn how to manage their art with guns and weaponry. Perhaps they'll even...

Whenever you said Prometheus, I kept on thinking you meant a film adaptation of the book Skyfall, by Harry Harrison. Which, frankly, would've been awesome. I'm still going to be keeping these movies in mind, though. Some I like the appeal of more than others, but it seems like most are worth...

I thought this was cleared up ages ago. Valve's game is not "Defense Of The Ancients 2," it's "DOTA 2." No implications attached and, thus, having no connection with the old game through name or title. They're not claiming a trademark over "Defense Of The Ancients," they've claiming it over...

Iunno, it'd be a hard choice. Maybe Disables (Arm/Legs)? Charm? I think Charm would be pretty high up there, since it's pretty much worse than a Death effect - it's just, rather than your character dying, they switch to the other team. It's a death sentence if it's your strongest character that...

Asura: Too Small. Charr: Too Bestial. Norn: Too ... Norn. Sylvari: Too Elfish. Human: Too ... oh, wait. Or at least, that was my thought process. OT: I'm thinking a Mesmer, probably a Human. I might decide to do a Charr instead, though.

Wolves are the least of your problem when there are Sabre Cats and Bears roaming around. To be honest, they've always been more of a problem to me than Dragons. And that's saying something, considering how weak I always seem to be against those flying menaces. On my first character, a Kajiit...

This is easily the thing I worry most about this. It seems like a game with good potential, but the media's gonna eat it up. I worry that Obsidian will be buried under the press for good.

There are only a few things that my character won't steal, being a huge kleptomaniac. His entire house is full of baubles and shiny trinkets, but he'd never steal from holy sites. He's a killer, too, but doesn't do that without good reason. Usually "I need to get past you to get the treasure...

When I think about it, I guess I kinda agree with you - but I'm really liking the look of Revelations from my point here. Sure, it's not a big story, but neither was Brotherhood. It might not be the best story compared to the other games, but that's mostly because you already KNOW the...
