    Divergent? More Like "Why-Vergent"

    Just to pitch in: Of all the stuff I read back in the day, Jonathan Stroud's Bartimaeus Trilogy (and its only marginally lesser prequel) remains for me the high mark of Young Adult fiction, in no small part due to the switches between perspectives (with Bartimaeus himself assuming the role of...

    Digga', Please

    Honestly, the title for this strip just reminds me of how much I miss Doraleous & Associates. Yes, I'm still bitter about that. Sue me.

    Mass Effect: Characters who would have been cool squad members

    "Oh, and do try to keep blood stains off the carpet, would you?" Easily the most posh, suave, sophisticated and urbane Turian in the whole series. I was so disappointed that he never made a cameo in the sequels. EDIT: Although, if we're really talking about more practical...

    LoadingReadyRun: Giving It

    The funny thing is that Graham did actually give a shit at the end. Just not about the thesis.

    This thread's racist!

    Several people here have referenced The Boondocks without mentioning Uncle Ruckus. Which is just criminally negligent. Sad thing is, there's probably a couple of people like him out there.

    Blue Rose of Illium

    If you're planning to do more of these, I'd highly recommend the Departing Soldier and his Asari wife at Dock D24. Easily the saddest little story, especially when you note that there are three Banshees at Sanctuary. Or perhaps the C-Sec officer and the Refugee girl? Loads of possibilities.

    Iran Sentences Game Developer To Death

    Fair enough. Let me rephrase: There is very disproportionate treatment of these two countries (leaving aside for now the mess that Pakistan is now) given the paucity of substantial evidence pointing conclusively, first, to the pursuit of nuclear weapons, and second, what the actual application...

    Iran Sentences Game Developer To Death

    THANK YOU! I would have hoped that this site would restrict itself to what it knows---that is, videogames. Sadly, however, it would appear that they are not above mimickiung the mainstream media's proclivity for hijacking a non-sequiter or red herring and using that as the main lede into...

    Ridley Scott Signs On For Blade Runner Sequel

    Get Vangelis out of semi-retirement and on board, and we're golden.

    The last movie you saw combines with the last game you played and the last book you read.

    I Love You, Philip Morris, Saints Row 2 and To End All Wars (World War I). I don't know how that could be anything but awesome.

    Obama ends military ban

    I saw that video a while back. Barney Frank totally pwned that baiting loser. As for the the showering question...they're soldiers. They can fuckin' deal.

    Zero Punctuation: FEAR 3

    The proactive whore line conjures one of the best mental images ever.

    Portal 2 Soundtrack Part 2 Up for Free!!!

    Not bad, but I liked Volume I more overall. Catchier and quirkier. This installment is pretty good too, but I can't wait for part III.

    Trailers: Saints Row: The Third: Steelport

    I'm sure that there are different districts/boroughs/sectors to the city, each with with some aesthetic distinction. If you look at the skyline while the plane is being flown, you'll see a sleek, clean skyline. The immediate are looks primarily industrial.

    Trailers: Saints Row: The Third: Steelport

    I just got in the Saints Row Double Pack; so far it's great fun, but if this is only a modicum of what's in store, I can barely contain myself.
