    BioWare "Considering" Calls for New Mass Effect 3 Ending

    You know what I really don't understand about this whole movement to get a new ending? What makes anyone think that even if BioWare DOES make a new ending, that it will be the ending you hoped for? If they couldn't provide a satisfying ending with their original plan for the story (which I'm...

    Circumcision: a Pillar of American ignorance

    I feel like there's a perspective difference that comes from being a culture where most people are circumcised and one where most are not. Being someone who's uncircumcised in a society where pretty much 99% of all the other males I know ARE circumcised, all of whom seem to have less sexual...

    Circumcision: a Pillar of American ignorance

    Perhaps you should learn what circumcision actually is first. There is no removing the end/tip/head of the penis. The only thing that is removed is the layer of skin around the shaft of the penis. The head remains untouched. This is just one of those common misconceptions that confuses me...

    Circumcision: a Pillar of American ignorance

    Agreed. If non-infant circumcision was a free procedure provided by universal healthcare, as it should be, I would be far more likely to not have my child circumcised and let them decide for themselves once they reach puberty.

    Circumcision: a Pillar of American ignorance

    Neither, but thanks for asking in an incredibly insensitive and insulting manner. As for religion, I'm an atheist and couldn't care less about religious reasons. In fact, my father is actually Jewish (and circumcised) and yet my parents still agreed not to have it done to me. Not for any...

    Circumcision: a Pillar of American ignorance

    Circumcision is a major surgery? The fact that you would call it that pretty much makes anything else you have to say about the subject null and void. Read some of the other posts in this thread. Several people have pointed out that most modern studies have shown that it's unclear whether...

    Circumcision: a Pillar of American ignorance

    I'm not circumcised and it's caused me quite few problems that I won't go into detail about here. If I ever have a son, I'm going to have them circumcised. They'll just have to deal with the less pleasure.

    The Big Picture: The Simpsons Is Still Funny - Pt. 1

    Edit: Seriously, I don't usually write posts this long...sorry about that. The Simpsons was my greatest obsession as a kid/teenager, so I can be quite passionate about it, which the book I've written below makes pretty obvious. ----- I am a 20-year-old hardcore Simpsons fanatic, so I...

    Poll: Futurama or Simpsons?

    If the question is which show is better CURRENTLY, than without a doubt, Futurama. I adore Futurama, I'm even a frequent-posting member of the Futurama forum PEEL for many years now. But if the question is which show was better at its peak, then the answer is absolutely The Simpsons. The...

    Drinking Games: Mario Galaxy 2 (Drink Minimum)

    I absolutely love this show, and I beg the Escapist to keep it for as long as possible. Don't let negative comments get you down, guys, these are clever drinking games and the presentation is excellent.

    The worst films you have ever seen

    Actually now that I think about it I'm not sure I would call Riki-Oh bad...it's completely ridiculous and over-the-top and for those reasons I actually very much enjoyed the film. I guess it's on that list because there are so many dialogue and plot choices that are completely absurd.

    The worst films you have ever seen

    Mr. Bad Movie Expert over here would like to offer his services. Many of the films being posted in here are bad...but not anywhere close to the worst movies ever made. Here are the worst movies I have ever seen (in no particular order), and I promise they are worse than the movies you have...

    I'd say this video was "worth it" just for the stinger.

    Valve Outgrows Its "Episodes Phase"

    Although I'd love to interpret this as meaning we're getting Half-Life 3 instead of Episode 3 as I've predicted for a while, it could just as easily simply mean that Episode 3 is the last episodic game they will have ever made. If it's the latter though, this still seems to imply that Episode 3...

    As good of a song as this was...no.
