I'm guessing the question everyone would be asking to this, "why not just start their own crowdfunding campaign and keep all the profits for themselves?" But then again, having a corporate entity backing you with promotions would be a huge boost. How many thousands of game projects failed to...

There's no reason why a dude who's 6'5" can't dress up as a Hobbit. So what if you have boobs that are bigger than what's considered canon? Hell, I'm sure most guys would think that's an improvement.

More self-righteous moral crusading. It's the same kind of bullshit everyone used to laugh at when outraged Christians screamed that Harry Potter should be banned because it "promotes witchcraft" or Pokemon because it "promotes gambling". But now the screaming is coming from the left side of...

Before I watch this, let me guess: Germany closed the tax loophole which allowed him to game the system and use his shitty movies as a money laundering scheme for foreign investors, he tried getting a movie funded on KickStarter, everyone told him to go fuck himself, and now he's being a salty...

I really, really hate how "problematic" gets throws around too goddamned much these days. It's always used to denote something making the person saying it mildly uncomfortable, and they express it as though whatever the hell that was is self-evident and universal. Y'know, like all those people...

I was confused by this review. It starts by saying the two leads are "talented", then does off to say they're unfunny and have been doing shit work for the past decade. Which is it?

I just hope there isn't a massive blowback after people who take an active interest in representation in media realizes there is a gay character... in a Mortal Kombat game. Which means they can be horrifically killed like everyone else. Because even though I think people like Anita "if you can...

The most important aspect of freedom of expression is not defending the things you like, but defending the things you don't.

So, should rushing the quarterback in American football no longer be referred to as a "blitz"? There was a video game franchise named that, too. I suppose while we're at it we should stop glorifying all groups of people who have committed horrible atrocities. How many schools are named the...

For all the debate as to whether this game should have an AO rating or an M is missing the bigger picture here: why should an AO rating be the scarlet letter(s) for gaming? Most gamers are adults, therefore the AO rating should be an industry standard, not a threat of ad hoc censorship. There...

Is the social and political landscape of Australia really this conservative, like with Japan and how they still force all pornography to apply that annoying mosaic censor on everything? Or is this just a small committee of appointed bureaucrats exploiting their position to push their personal...

I waited until I was 18 to get my license so I wouldn't have to bother with driver's ed. I read the brochure, got maybe like an hour of practice just to get used to how much pressure I needed to put on the accelerator to maintain the speed limit, and managed to pass the test on my first try. The...

I think it's meant to be more of a revenge flick like Death Proof or I Spit On Your Grave.

I'm trying to get my head around the premise. And no, not the "haunted Skype" thing, but why the hell someone would kill themselves over, well, that? Compared to the type of shit that floods the internet on a daily basis, that was pretty tame. She got drunk, said some embarrassing things, and...

So as to not get yourself caught up in a confirmation bias? Echo chambers are poison to honest debate, it's important to actually expose yourself to things you don't agree with. Otherwise you become so sensitive to dissent you end up like those people who go around demanding trigger warnings for...
