    What Makes A Character Considered "Grey" In Terms of Morality?

    How do you square this with the assertion that Killmonger was morally grey with ideas that 'aren't so bad'? Isn't he a bigoted racist whose primary goal was conquest and annexation of those he viewed as 'lesser'? He seems pretty 'Nazi-esque'. As for real 'morally grey', it's pretty hard...

    How WW3 is going to happen

    Eh? Why single out the UK and Sweden? France and Germany both have larger Muslim populations, and most of Europe has had their 'Muslims do awful things' headlines. As for 'no go zones' they're always a thing. When I went to New York with School in my teens, we were specifically warned 'don't...

    Bill Cosby found Guilty

    Aren't you basically making a nirvana fallacy here? Just because racist arseholes still exist, doesn't mean all attempts to improve race relations over the decades have been futile. Are you so keen to throw the work of MLK (or any other influential activist or public figure) under the bus, just...

    Chronicling my way through Mass Effect 3

    That's a pretty harsh and inaccurate assessment of ME2 Mordin there. Even Maelon, whose research methodologies appal Mordin during his Loyalty Mission is a far cry from Mengele. Really if you're looking for a 'Mengele' in ME, it's Cerberus, with shit like the Teltin facility. Extravagant, cruel...

    Poll: Was the Mass effect 3 ending that bad?

    If I remember right it was something like this: The use of Mass Effect fields leads to a build up of Dark Energy, which is destroying the universe itself. The Reapers reap in part to contain the spread of Mass Effect technology (maybe, not 100% on that bit), and create more of their own...

    ?198 million pound footballer. Well Football (soccer) has changed dramatically in 15 years.

    Be fair. This one has nothing to do with Britain and it's own stable of hideously overpaid prima donnas. This is the French buying a Brazilian from the Spanish with Qatari money (if I've got my facts straight).

    Problems with the new doctor

    Funnily enough, I don't think it's actually to appeal to a 'female audience' more likely it's to appeal to people with a specific agenda. Doctor Who appears to already have a large female audience, which it earned and maintained (insert arguments about declining show quality here) despite having...

    Introducing the new Doctor

    Serious question to any old-Who buffs. Is this whole 'timelords can regenerate as either gender, regardless of previous incarnation' something with an established canon pedigree, or something that has arisen purely in the tragically awful Moffat era (because I don't seem to recall it ever...

    Games Workshop really did it. Fall Of Cadia Discussion. (SPOILERS WITHIN)

    I should probably point out that the logic is theoretically sound here. Total War was announced years ago, long before the decision would've been made to End Times and AoS the setting. And Fantasy, sadly, was failing. 8th edition was a steaming pile that exacerbated everything wrong with GW, and...

    What medieval melee weapons would we observe in an alien civilisation?

    No real reason to think anything would change. Decapitation wasn't actually all that common on medieval battlefields (hard to pull off, especially when men are in formation, and it's just far easier to inflict less flashy, but still lethal trauma). Eyes would still be a valid target, blinding...

    So I've been prescribed medication, and I don't want to take it

    Afraid I don't have any first hand experience of this sort of thing, only second hand from when friends have gone through similar ordeals. But the take home message from them has always been that the medication was a massive improvement. most of the bad stories you hear tend to be due to the...

    Poll: ST Federation or 40k Imperium - who would win in a war?

    What even is 'background' fluff vs 'real' fluff then? 40k, while it got its start on the tabletop, has evolved into so much more than that over the last 30-odd years. It's not hard to find 40k fans who only read the books, or play the video games and have never even tried painting or playing...

    Poll: ST Federation or 40k Imperium - who would win in a war?

    You mean the Marines that do not occur in any of the stories at all? Why should we do that? That concession for the table Top is contradicted by the very books that contain the rules. Using in game performance (and which version of the rules to boot?) as the 'true' setting is the very epitome of...

    Poll: ST Federation or 40k Imperium - who would win in a war?

    Sorry, but that doesn't add up. When there's a Klingon charging you with a big sharp thing, why would a redshirt 'play nice'? It's literally life or death. Either the guns cannot do what you describe (the most likely outcome), or ever time we see Trek characters in a life or death situation...

    Poll: ST Federation or 40k Imperium - who would win in a war?

    Then why doesn't that happen in the show? When Federation troops get into firefights, the phasers behave exactly like any generic laser weapon, Star Wars blasters, Farscape Pulse Weapons, Stargate Staffs etc. There's a slow, potentially dodge-able energy effect, a little explosion when they hit...
