    Shadow of Mordor Free DLC Adds Option to Play as a Woman

    I wasn't aware that breasts were an integral part of a character? Surely if we gamers don't care about the lack of cleavage then this isn't a big deal?

    Fun ways to screw with Telephone sales people

    Don't do anything and just politely tell them you're not interested whilst not being a knobber about it because they probably don't deserve whatever you had planned.

    Commercial Drones Were Never Actually Illegal, Rules Judge

    Except all his points are valid, you advocate rushing into a technological revolution with nary a backward glance. The chances of me being hit by a car are thankfully quite small if I follow basic road safety. One has literally no way of knowing whether a drone's engines will fail and hurtle...

    Does every WW2 film from any nation's perspective have to cover it's war crimes?

    Of course part of the reason we were so generous with our peace terms is because of what happened when the victorious powers were perceived to have been too harsh twenty years earlier. Also the 'mechanism' you talk about wasn't put in place, it was invented in the form of the atom bomb. Total...

    Sponsored: Toshiba Field Tests - Highly Impractical Practicality

    What part of this was disguised? There are nice italicised words at the top of the article saying this is essentially an ad. I don't see how anyone can have a problem with this, this is how the Escapist makes money. They need money to run the site.

    Paradox Departs from Strategy With Norse RPG Runemaster

    Perhaps because, and this is a long shot so bear with me, just perhaps they chose them because they are the races that are key to Norse mythology. But hey, I might be wrong. Here's a hint: I'm not.

    Middle-Earth's Climate Mapped in Scientific Study

    You probably should read the whole paper before making a fool of yourself. The chap who did this was unfunded and did it in his spare time.

    Lone Ranger Goes Boom! To Tune Of $150 Million Loss

    This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things...

    Shipping insurance, it was going to cost over $1000 to insure each card. That's not a small amount.

    The Unofficial Friendly Steam Trading Thread

    I'd love a copy of Super Meat Boy if it's still going! http://steamcommunity.com/id/mrt16 For some reason my page is in Chinese, this is somewhat of a confuzzlement.
