You have a solid point there. I, however, am of the opinion that the solution is not to mix and match techniques from different styles, but rather seek to understand how your own style can transcend its supposed limitations. As you point out, Taekwondo is a striking style and as such I am a weak...

With the pro being, of course, that these styles rarely need adaptation, as far as technique is concerned. A good martial artist knows his limitations and can find a way around them without thinking he needs to "expand" or "improve" the style itself. I'll grant that Deofuta's master not being...

XKCD when he tries to wax poetic and/or philosophical. You'd best stick to math, nerd. Also, if you have to be "shocking" or "edgy" to get laughs, you're probably not all that funny. Carlos Mencia is an excellent example of this.

My favorite part was the final confrontation with Andrew Ryan. "A man chooses...a slave obeys." Still gives me chills.

It is true that the Emancipation Proclamation was largely a political move and motive for going to war was largely economic. However, the fact remains that the South DID practice slavery. They had lots and lots of slaves. And since most people today agree that slavery was and still is a bad...

I think it's time we abandoned the clunky phrase "zombie apocalypse" and adopted the far more streamlined "zombocalypse." Say it out loud. Just rolls right off the tongue, don't it?

"Frick! Skeletons!" *killed by skeletons*

I'm going to have to disagree with all of you who say that Captain Planet is the worst superhero. Consider this: Captain Planet was created by the combined powers of four powerful elemental rings (air, earth, fire, water) and one gimpy useless ring (heart). What would happen if the heart ring...

In Left 4 Dead while playing as Zoey, very occasionally when you look at one of the messages on the wall that says "God is dead," Zoey will say "Oh no! The zombies killed god!"

Jack from Bioshock versus Gordon Freeman... ...telekinesis plasmid versus gravity gun...crowbar versus wrench...the only thing that could possibly tip the scale is if Gordon said "Would you kindly," but he never speaks...a battle for the ages.

Half an hour of both of them going "..." at each other. No, it most certainly would NOT be awesome.

The gameplay was certainly lacking in complexity. Yahtzee's pretty much written the last word on that, so I'll just say that one can forgive this if they appreciate the brilliance of the narrative. Bioshock is an exemplar of how a video game can function as a serious piece of storytelling. It...
