Oddly enough, I could not find a "Yahtzee the Hedgehog" image. This needs to be rectified. My name also does not have a hedgehog. However, it had a dingo and a hedgebat (whatever that may be) image.

I've never understood this attitude. I found 'The Jimquisition" to be unpleasant and rude so.... I just didn't watch it. I watched the stuff I liked. I didn't campaign to have it removed. It being on the site had no effect on me since I just don't watch the stuff I don't enjoy. Why...

I hate time travel stories because they rarely make any sense. Take the "Star Trek" reboot: BadGuy uses advanced technology to go back in time to destroy Vulcan because his home planet had gotten munched. Why doesn't FutureSpock use this technology to go back further and save Vulcan? Or why...

I can understand that you aren't interested in the issues of misogyny, homophobia, etc. Some people are, and some people aren't, and for you it's a distraction. What I don't understand is your position on revenues. For example, I can toss my empty soda can in two recycling bins. One bin...

Is there any word if they will produce a Mac OS X version? My son and I loved Homeworld 2 on the Mac, and now it no longer works under the current OS.

What, no appearance of the legendary Suicide Squid? Ah, how fallen are the mighty heroes of yesteryear...

How about a race of small furry critters (guinea pigs, say) who view us the same way we view dragons? Basically, we're a calamity to be fought or worshipped or fled from. The adventurers may inadvertently wreck a village just setting up their campsite. Of course, when the...

For me there are two types of Adult Swim shows: the ones with an internal consistency and some coherent comic sensibility (e.g. Venture Brothers, Metalocolypse) and those that are mind-f*&#s, anarchic concatenations of concepts with no point, animated equivalents of Eraserhead. I cannot...

Since this is a new column on a new topic I have a suggestion: could you explain how the &*#$ any of this works? I mean, how do you play a miniatures game? Do you move one piece at a time? How do you determine what you can hit? How do you measure distances? (Center to center? Edge to...

Seemed a bit sad to me. But that's just my sense of it.

Oh good lord. This is old news. "Rotons" are vortex rings (like smoke rings) in liquid helium that do the same thing. They've been known about for fifty years. This is not a "tractor beam" in the traditional sense because it only works if you are in a fluid medium. There absolutely is a...

If you buy a book, the author receives royalties. However, you do not then have the right to record your reading of the book to make money from it, even though you paid for the book. If you pay for a premium cable channel, you can watch certain baseball games. However, you do not have the...

I think the important point is that this is a method of cutting cakes if you live alone. You are preventing the cake from drying out over night after you have eaten ONE SLICE every night. I am unwilling to speculate why a mathematician might be more inclined to worry about this sort of...

Is this still running? Is the client still available?

Wait, Spiderman is certainly a Marvel character and the boards go sour with people complaining how Bob Chipman can't stop complaining about the new Spiderman movies. Now people are complaining that he only gives them praise? Even after he comments on how terrible the early Hulk movie was...
