http://arkis.deviantart.com/art/Mass-Effect-3-Alternate-Endings-SPOILERS-289902125 This person came up with a pretty good idea for how to end it. It's not that complicated, although I can't really imagine how it could be much better. Also, the supposed originally planned ending involving dark...

Did you go back in time twelve years and ask me what two characters you should compare? Because if so, thanks! Great episode.

Personally I'd like to play Shepherd's Asari daughter, but I'm guessing that won't happen as they'd avoid making any choices from the first three official canon

Using medication to fight a condition brought on by poor hygiene without doing anything about the hygiene itself isn't a very good strategy. It's a problem for male soldiers too, which is why you do everything you can to keep yourself as clean as reasonably possible, it just doesn't happen as...

I agree with your central point, but you're dead wrong here, as has already been mentioned in the thread. The equipment a soldier carries into combat can weigh up to around 100 lbs. That means carrying everything around in an extremely hot environment for the entire day. Marksmanship is very...

It's not periods that's the problem. Yeast infections can get very nasty very quickly when a group of women go without showering for a couple weeks.

People keep using those words. I do not think they mean what they think they mean. Freedom of speech means that the government cannot prevent you from or prosecute you for saying things. It doesn't mean that people can't say they think something is offensive. If someone were trying to say that...

No, there's no *need* for him to apologize. But it appears that he has done so anyway. If he didn't want to apologize, that'd be his right, and I'd fight to defend it. When someone says "Hey, that's offensive" you can tell them to fuck off. You can also consider if it was offensive, and...

Did you read what Yahtzee said? While he disagreed about people taking offense to the word "trannies" regardless of context, his response to criticism of his pre-op transexuals joke was basically "Hmm, you're right, I could have worded that better. Let me clarify. Sorry if I offended you, that...

I think the bottom line is that "rpg" deserves more subdivisions, as JRPG and WRPG don't come close to cutting it. There's Sandbox RPGs like TES and Fallout and Shadowrun, Hack and Slash RPGs like Diablo and Dungeon Siege, Character and story based rpgs like Final Fantasy and the Shin Megami...

Eventually we'll figure out how to convert our minds from our biological shells to mechanical ones. Then it'll be the major ethical question of the century - what counts as a human? But eventually, the last organic human beings will die off or convert over.

Besides the obvious criticisms of this being a way oversimplified model, It takes to long for evolution to change things significantly. In the next couple centuries tops, society is either going to collapse or go through the singularity. There won't be significant genetic change in the paltry...

While I don't believe it is a choice, I personally don't see how it would make any difference if it were. Religion is obviously a choice; race is obviously not a choice. It is wrong to treat someone unfairly because of either of those things, so whether it's a choice or not shouldn't be a...

I can't think of any other time I've cried while playing a video game, but Claus's death at the end of Mother 3 had me bawling.

I married someone who grew up on another continent speaking a different language. It can be challenging, but it's also interesting.
