    Space Launch System Passes Critical Design Phase; Building Can Begin

    SpaceX hardly has a monopoly in exploding rockets, so I'm not sure what your point there is. Neither the SLS nor the Falcon Heavy's specs are secrets at this point either, so I'm guessing you either haven't kept up or aren't interested in being accurate. the Falcon Heavy can certainly do more...

    Meet Saya, an Ultra Realistic, Computer Generated Japanese Schoolgirl

    Highly doubtful, I'd bet a million dollars that if you take one of these pictures and another one of any other video game characters and show them to random people in the street, the overwhelming majority is going to disagree with you. Wait what? there's good animation due to motion capture...

    Female Game Characters Photoshopped to Average American Proportions

    If that's your goal for "organic food", then you've failed terribly. Whether something is "organic" or GMO has little to no bearing on how much chemical is used by the farmer during cultivation. You want the least amount of fertilizer/pesticide used to grow your food? grow it yourself...

    Female Game Characters Photoshopped to Average American Proportions

    Maybe I missed something, but I can't seem to find the height that the women in your pictures are supposed to be at, without which their weight number is rather worthless in determining whether they're overweight or not. However, taking the weight information you gave: the 200 lbs woman...

    Female Game Characters Photoshopped to Average American Proportions

    No, that's MORBIDLY obese, now take a look at this: http://imgur.com/ol8rjpr Looks pretty average right? Hardly what you'd consider obese. Wrong, that's also obese. I know, because that was me, when I weighted over 200 pounds on a 5'6 frame, with a BMI of 33+ I was solidly in the...

    Female Game Characters Photoshopped to Average American Proportions

    ...Are you serious? By that definition, a rather large portion of the human population would be "anorexic". These women aren't obese. They're normal sized.

    Your thoughts on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.

    I've always like John Oliver when he was still with the Daily Show, and the Last Week Tonight segments I've seen here and there haven't changed that. That being said... I feel that the whole dig at the Red Wing stadium utterly fell flat, probably because as a local resident I'm far more...

    What is your favourite Final Fantasy game?

    That, would be you simply not knowing how to actually level those jobs. It is trivially easy and laughably fast to level crafting classes, between leves/GC turn-ins and later on Ixal quests, I literally leveled all crafting classes sans culinarian to 50 on two separate alts on my alt account...

    What is your favourite Final Fantasy game?

    If FF14 is what you consider to be grind heavy, I suggest you stay very very far way from F2P/Korean MMOs, or for that matter MMO in general. FF14 is about as grind heavy as Eve Online is safe for afk players hauling hundreds of PLEX in shuttles. And how is that any different than single...

    No, you don't date rape/gay erase a character in Fire Emblem Fates

    Congratulations for showing your ignorance once again. They're not "presented in different ways", they're fundamentally different. Unless, of course, you think that kids playing together = sexual relations. read above. As there's nothing in American culture that remotely equates to...

    No, you don't date rape/gay erase a character in Fire Emblem Fates

    I think that's exactly what some people have done. They applied their own cultural context to the creation of another culture without understanding the original's. Like you said, people don't have to like another culture's tropes or their social norms, but IMO it's crossing a line when people...

    No, you don't date rape/gay erase a character in Fire Emblem Fates

    No you aren't, though it looks to me you are defending those that are doing so. Of course, but it's one thing to think that his story about plants getting revenge on humanity neither riveting nor compelling, it's another to start claiming said story is actually about Martians battling aliens...

    What is your favourite Final Fantasy game?

    And what's wrong with the "MMO FF games"? I'd like to see you argue where the story/character/combat/music/gameplay of 11 or 14 falters against their single player counterparts. Hell, I'd put Heavensward against any other FF.

    Poll: Has the Final Fantasy franchise been saved?

    ...and what's wrong with 11 and 14 being MMOs? as far as I'm concerned those two more than holds their own against any other entry in the series, if not outright eclipse them.

    No, you don't date rape/gay erase a character in Fire Emblem Fates

    There are plenty of Japanese cultural norms that one can criticize. That said, in order to make actual valid criticism against it (or anything else for that matter) generally requires one to have at least a basic understanding of what they're criticizing. Most people who are doing so in this...
