    New Vegas: Why Join the Legion?

    I think there was a conversation along similar lines a LONG time ago on this site about the differing morals of the factions, specifically NCR and Legion. Having never played with the Legion, I have no personal information to back up any of their claims, but the basic gist of it was that the...

    Sweden Moves Towards Gender Neutrality [Support Thread]

    According to my English Teacher, if you refer to someone as "one", then you can't use "their" as a way to show possesion (i.e If one was to eat their pie...), you're supposed to use "his or her" (i.e If one was to eat his or her pie...). This is what leads to the clunkiness of using one all the...

    Wearing Shoes Inside - The Fuck?

    I wear shoes whenever I'm in my own house, but if I'm visiting someone else's house I'll normally take them off or just do what the host does.

    Getting Furious Over "Girlfriend Mode"

    While we both agree that circumstantial evidence is never a solid foundation for the start of an argument, couldn't it be argued that, when someone else presents their own personal experiences as irrefutable proof of their position, countering that position with your own personal experiences is...

    Getting Furious Over "Girlfriend Mode"

    Okay, now you're just exaggerating. The idea behind the "BFF mode" is that someone who isn't as good at videogames gets to play on par with someone who is better, leading to less headaches and more overall enjoyment. While it was in poor taste to refer to it as a "girlfriend mode" due to the...

    Airlines asking men to move seats because they might be molesters

    While I'm not sure what the current definitions of molestation and rape are by the us gov't in crimes, I always thought that there were more women molesters than men, because women lack certain... instruments to rape someone. but anyways, this is just companies trying to cover their asses...

    Valve, why are they loved?

    I'm pretty sure the april fools joke you're talking about wasn't made by Valve, since the URL to get there was steamPPowered.com. So the creators fooled you into thinking that Valve fooled you into thinking HL3 was coming out. Anyways, I don't see the problem with Valve giving people that...

    Films that you regret watching

    I'd have to say Two-Headed Shark Attack. Saw it on Netflix, but it should have stayed on the SyFy channel. Its so terrible, just don't watch it. If you want to watch a shark movie, watch Deep Blue Sea or Jaws instead.

    Poll: Is treating women in Gentlemanly way Sexist?

    From what I've heard on the feminist forums awhile back, holding a door open for a women is only sexist if you're doing it because you believe that women are incapable of doing the same thing themselves. If you do it out of common courtesy and hold doors open for men and women, then you're being...

    So, lets talk about racism for a minute

    Affirmative Action is a good idea in theory, but there are some key problems with it, specifically the idea that a workplace or a college needs to have X amount of a minority to be diverse enough, and I don't think that it clearly helps end racism.

    Mass Effect 3: Retake This

    The sad thing is that I'm definitely not the first to explain the comic's point either. If people would read through the other 6 pages before posting then there would probably be a lot less confusion.

    Mass Effect 3: Retake This

    I'm pretty sure Grey's was trying to make fun of how these journalists are just in it for the page views and so they make articles that are purposefully inflammatory because they know it will draw people in. The text at the bottom was making fun of people that respond to the threads and giving...

    Mass Effect 3: Retake This

    Jeez, how many people didn't get that this comic was making fun of the people writing the articles, not the Retakers themselves? And it doesn't make fun of the retake movement's beliefs, it makes fun of how much of a sucker they are for giving page views to articles made precisely to rile them...

    What would you do if you became CEO/President of EA/Activision?

    So, EA and Activision get a lot of (justified) hate for being complete dicks to their customers at times. So, assuming that you don't go mad with power and become the new Bobby Kotick, how would you repair your company's reputation with their customers? For me, I'd get rid of Day 1 DLC to start...

    Poll: Mass Effect 3 Rage!!!!

    I personally thought the worst thing in the demo was captain Anderson's running animations. That and how the squadmate's movements just looked so... robotic in the earlier trailers. Really? he's the one frothing at the mouth? compared to your post? I'm getting sick of your holier than thou...
