My favorite Star Wars movies in order: VI, III, IV, I, II, V. I own, and have enjoyed, every single Call of Duty game released for PC (except for Advanced Warfare, which my computer couldn't run). Porn is wrong. "Gender" refers to language, not sex. Words have gender. People have sex.

Great, except for the part where you forgot Road & Track's The Need for Speed: SE (the very, very first Need for Speed game ever), and accidentally wrote "Mario Kart 64" instead of "Super Mario Kart". Please try to avoid typos like that next time.

Weren't the Sydney Olympics over a decade ago? That's a slow outbreak. (That's a reference to the original Rainbow Six game for you young 'uns.)

Toss up between Magicka and Prince of Persia: The Warrior Within, and for similar reasons. I can't say that I wasn't warned with Warrior Within, though. That was the game that inspired the guys at Penny Arcade to insist they play a game before they'd advertise it. Magicka, though, really...

I'm somewhat flabbergasted that only one person so far in this thread has landed even remotely close to grasping the purpose of marriage. The institution of marriage follows naturally from a few simple, basic facts about human nature and biology: 1. Human beings are altricial...

OK, let's start with a meme: Before you get the pitchforks and torches, let me explain. My four-year-old likes to watch me play video games. Normally, I try to stick with kid-friendly games while he's around; Minecraft, Hearthstone, Epic Mickey, etc. Although, sometimes I'll be playing...

Say it with me, everyone: Daylight SAVING time. SAVING. There's no 's' at the end of SAVING. Wikipedia: Daylight saving time. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time#Terminology] (Daylight savings time redirects here.)

This morning, I bought surgery for my cat. She has a tumor in front of her left ear that needs to be removed. It's not cancerous or malignant or anything... just big.

I hated it. Not because it was bad, but because, I realized, it was true. I think the first scene to make me angry (not at the movie, mind), was when Katniss, who has been established as poor and hungry, steps into the train to find it full of more food than's she likely ever seen. I realized...

May I jump into the conversation at this point to question the general policy against all forms of doping? Why do these rules exist? Is it because players who dope have an unfair advantage over those who don't? But doesn't that apply in other situations, too? For instance, suppose it was...

Did anyone actually click through to the transcript on his website? And, y'know, actually read what Rush said in context? He wasn't positing the idea that the character of Bane was created as a representative of Romney. He was commenting on a prior discussion elsewhere that people may associate...

George Carlin's quote was about the intent and beliefs of pro-life people, not the end effects of their actions. Whether women who are pro-life are working against their own sex may be true, but to claim that they are pro-life because "they don't like women", and not for their own stated reasons...

Yes, my mother, my sister, my grandmother, my aunts, and my wife are all anti-women. They don't like women and believe a woman's primary role is to function as a brood mare for the state. Seriously, if George Carlin wasn't so busy making ridiculous straw men, he might have been funny...

But "a chicken in every pot" was from Herbert Hoover's 1928 presidential campaign, prior to the Great Depression. The huge economic expansions of the 20's led many to believe that poverty would be eradicated. Hoover was merely promising what people believed to be inevitable: that the economic...

I would name them Damien Alexander and Anthony William. My wife put a lot of thought into these. Three syllables in the first names, which easily flow into the middle name (consonant-to-vowel and vowel-to-consonant). She looked up the meanings (Damien: to tame, subdue; Alexander: conqueror...
