The premise of the article is off. Nazi super-science isn't a myth -- it's a trope. We know the Nazis didn't have jet packs and space flight because Germany was conquered. We put that stuff in media because it's fun. The myth of Nazi super-science, if any, died pretty hard when the propaganda...

This is the first time (maybe the second) I've seen a comments thread in one of Bob's posts where the first set of comments read easily had a better grasp of the facts than Bob himself did -- perhaps because in the earlier case, the subject matter was more obscure. In any event, the notion that...

Please. You lied about definitions and threw out passive-aggressive insults, then took your ball and went home when challenged on them. You still can't explain your mysterious definition of racism or the c-word (which, again, you censor while disputing its misogyny).

Well, that's bullshit. Racism a) deprives a person of personhood and b) denies that it's doing it in order to protect privilege. He literally said that black people aren't people. That is literally the most racist thing you can say. And denying the position is racist is itself a racist ploy...

The character Peggy Bundy had nothing to do with feminism, wasn't a feminist, and couldn't care less about feminism. She was a lying, selfish jerk whose casual malice came close to justifying Al's horrid irresponsibility -- if it hadn't been for Al's neglect of his kids, it would have justified...

Preach on. I despised Human Revolution for every decision the devs made in it -- I couldn't even get past the Everything Is Orange bs (no joke: it hurts my eyes for several days after playing). I adore Deus Ex and suffered through several playthroughs of the objectively bad Deus Ex 2, and while...

This isn't a fresh co-op experience. Aliens vs. Predator, the original PC/Mac version, did this. . . by accident. In a mode called "species deathmatch," set with balanced teams, you'd get 4v1. . . or 4v1v6 or somesuch when all three species were in a map. It was a blast. . . when it worked...

If you don't have the integrity to make Jesus not white, you don't have the integrity to make a Jesus movie.

The chart proports to describe one or more games as, in certain contexts, "Perfect." The chart does not contain Deus Ex. The chart is wrong. QED

I can't speak for Australia, but taking you at your word, this is a rightwing screed that works in the U.S. as well. The trick is that the source of the debt is never discuss. In the U.S., that's the military, eating up 54% of the budget. But that, too, is a dodge: the military isn't meant to...

Video games are a cultural phenomenon in real life, so your commentary is meaningless. You didn't read the post. If both parties are using the other than neither is the friend of the other. Of course, for the misogynist, it doesn't matter if the man uses the woman: only then would your...

Last time I checked, video games were dominated with heterosexual male fanservice, much like western culture, and female sexuality is treated with scorn at turns by popular media to this day, whereas male sexuality is generally unfettered. So, no, the sides are not even remotely equal here...

The relationship includes sex, so, by your own account, you're wrong. You don't get to slam a person for not wanting to be involved with you, and you sure as hell don't get to slam a gender because you're not able to convince them to sleep with you with inducements. The problem with the...

Wrong. You misread the article. Forced labor is forced labor. The work the students are required to do is unpaid labor obtained by extortion. This is intellectually a simple issue, but thoroughly immoral persons seem to be misconstruing it. The response to this news shows that people are...

I only read your first sentence because it contained either a strawman, a lie, or both, and because the rest of your text was unparsable and it's completely unfair to expect anyone to have to pay attention to that. I never said the game was "dead on arrival." Ironically enough, for someone...
