Oh hell no.

I realize this is a TV pilot teaser, but that is the worst German I have ever heard. It's cartoony. Germans, even the evil ones in Hydra, don't all have super thick and constricted accents, like they're trying to out-angry R. Lee Ermey while wearing a corset three sizes too small and gripping...

*Madam.

If I ever learn that I have a fatal illness and only six months to live, I'm moving to Perth, because every day there would feel like an eternity.

Amen to that. I slept in on launch day and missed my opportunity to play MvM in the brief window before it had been ruined by aggressive know-it-alls.

How long will it take for try-hards to distill the game down to one "best" meta and actively mock and abuse anyone who strays from their formula by choosing a "bad" character or making "sup-optimal" choices on their skill tree?

It's "took the reins," not "took the reigns." That doesn't even make any sense if you know what the individual words mean. Reins are the straps attached to a horse's bit which a rider uses to guide the horse. That's where the phrase comes from. Someone takes (grasps) the reins (the straps), and...

Well, at least it's easier to pronounce than Eyjafjallajökull. Hang on Iceland, don't do us like that. . . Oh COME ON.

The same as any fandom: form up into tribes and shout at each other.

Red Letter Media (the 70-minute Phantom Menace review guys) sat down and watched RE 1-4 in a marathon, then reviewed RE5 here: http://redlettermedia.com/half-in-the-bag-the-resident-evil-series/ (Spoiler: lots of guffawing.)

Only a gaijin can call another gaijin "gaijin."

I would have laughed my ass off if she'd edit: spoilers I suppose.

If Ward is in season 2, I'm out. He's bland and lifeless, and sucks the energy out of every scene he's in. Besides which, he's crossed a moral event horizon from which there is no coming back. If he is redeemed or made "good" again, then there are literally no consequences to the things he's...

Are Snap, Crackle, and Pop (Rice Krispies) him, him, and him, or it, it, and it? Similarly, is the Pillsbury Dough Boy a him, or an it? It could be argued that as a wad of dough, it's an it, but the dough boy's anthropomorphized, called "boy," and given a male voice. Humans anthropomorphize...
