    What is the cause of First Season Sci-fi Syndrome?

    Is there a particular show you're thinking of? I've been thinking about most scifi shows I've seen and it'd be hard to label any of them particularly genreric.

    Why ScarJo as the Major? Because she basically already is the Major.

    It seems weird to protest the ethnicity of someone playing a part of someone in a prosthetic body. Technically Kusanagi doesn't really have an ethnicity unless you count "cyborg." Also, most of the cast of stand alone complex look more multinational than Japanese. As for the "western look and...

    What is the cause of First Season Sci-fi Syndrome?

    I think the reason this may apply more to SFF than other shows is that the settings for a lot of regular TV is one we're already familiar with. Whether it be a cop show, endless sitcom, "reality" tv, um... are there other kinds of shows? I'm not even sure. Anyways, these shows have basic...

    Most Frustrating BOSS Enemies In Games!

    For me, and I realize this one is subjective, it's Deadshot from Arkham Origins. I've played through the game up to his fight twice and then just gotten so annoyed by it that I end just not playing it anymore. Once he gets that hostage a single wrong move ends the fight and then you get to do it...

    Poll: Are you actually waiting for Half-Life 3?

    Personally, I think Half Life 3 will just be a video of Gabe Newell laughing at you while Steam permanently removes all half life content from your computer and steam account, never letting you play the game again.

    An introductory guide to the world of PC gaming, including DIY and maintenance (with usergroup!)

    Hey guys, this is more of a tech question as the one issue I have with gaming on my PC is the noise. Something spins up when I'm playing any intensive game and I have to crank the volume to hear over it (which my housemates may or may not enjoy, no complaints yet but I imagine its a little...

    Poll: Men only subject - do you shave?

    I shave every day when I have to work, intermittently otherwise. And I'm pretty much always leaving myself a goatee.

    Poll: Views on Gearbox?

    My only experience with Gearbox is through Borderlands and Borderlands 2, which I find highly entertaining and a lot of fun. Of course I suppose that might just speak well of that team rather than the company as a whole... not sure how big the company is. As long as they make me borderlands 3...

    Why Can't Bay Leave Enough Alone!

    Because cash money, that's why. Despite being awful the transformers movies made epic tons of cash. Someone looked at this when they saw a script for TMNT and thought, hey, this guy made tons of money on a film about kids toys before, he could do it again!

    Poll: Fantasy or Scifi?

    I vote for science fiction, largely because it's been less corrupted by the publishing industry's recent obsession of putting out "women humping vampires/faeries/werewolves/other supernatural creature that is totally hunky" books. These days if I go into a bookstore and look in the fantasy...

    Megan Fox to play April O' Neil in M. Bay's Ninja Turtles

    Wow! Michael Bay is casting people who can't act in a movie based on a beloved toy franchise that was a major part of the childhoods of millions of young people 15 to 20 years ago?! I am shocked! SHOCKED! This behaviour is entirely uncharacteristic of him! *Sarcasm mode disengaged* This...

    Twilight: Bella is SUPPOSED to be a flat character.

    Deliberately writing a lifeless character in the hopes that all teen girls everywhere would project into it seems like a bad plan. A lot of book series that do well allow you to empathize and somewhat project yourself on to the main character while still featuring interesting characters. You can...

    Poll: Would you be scared if telekinetic people existed?

    I'd be deeply disappointed that I'm not one of them.

    Mass Effect being blamed for Connecticut shooting.

    Shocking! A bunch of obviously opinionated and unintelligent people reacted badly to a piece of irrelevant information that is just barely related to a recent tragedy?! But that NEVER happens! The good news is there probably aren't actually that many of these people out there, they're just...

    Some guy plots to kill and castrate Justin Bieber...

    Silly fool, you can't castrate someone that has no external genitalia! Now that that's out of the way, I do think the Bieber hate is a bit much. Yes, his music sucks. Yes, you can't go anywhere near certain stores without seeing walls of Bieber merchandise and his effeminate face plastered...
