    Because if you were right I wouldn't have anything to say to you.

    Smile and Nod: RealID and Why Hate Speech is the Least of Our Worries

    That's not really the point. You aren't pointing out a fact, your just dredging up a stereotype, not that they like cake, that they are DESPERATE for cake. There really is a non-offensive version of that metaphor, "the starving man". It works, it doesn't offend anyone and gets the point across...

    Staring at Boobs Helps Men Live Longer, says Study.

    If it was real, I was going to have to thank the men of my acquaintance for their sacrifice.

    LoadingReadyRun: Redundancy

    It was funny, but not enough to really get me laughing until I read the cover of the hard copy. After that I couldn't stop.

    Zero Punctuation: Prototype

    I'm having a lot of fun in Prototype lately just cycling through various methods of fighting things. Still I have to admit, a lot of times it's very much so a matter of just relaxing into catharsis. As to Mercer's morality, I actually enjoy the morality presented in Prototype. It's really...

    Would you fight a god?

    A chance to play chess at the grown ups table? How can I say no to that?

    Apparently Fifty doesn't believe in the BBB. Anyways, good vid, only limited by the original cutscene.

    Sony and Microsoft Do It Again!

    Personally, I think it's more a matter of third party developers are going to have to start understanding motion sensing as a tool in the tool box and not as a gimmick. For instance, the way I would recommend moving forward with Natal would be to keep the controller but use the facial system for...

    Unskippable: Alone in the Dark

    hmm, I think the developers missed out on a huge opportunity: the "lick your lips" button. having to lick your lips every few seconds in order to continue a monologue would be awesome.

    An Armed Society is a Polite Society (?)

    It's simply a case of false causality when taken outside of the originally intended context. Politeness of a society is founded on empathy and sympathy, it really doesn't have much at all to do with the armament of those involved. An apathetic society is equally impolite armed or otherwise, but...

    Zero Punctuation: 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand

    Hmm, I assume it's just more "not racist" subliminal messaging, but can anyone tell what the text scrolling across the screen starting at 1:05 is?

    Yahtzee Visits Valve, a Travelogue

    Actually I had Yhatzee's voice in my head too. It might just be how very aural oriented people read things. Also, people from all places tend to be humans, more at eleven.

    How do you feel about Japanese games?

    I'm not going to try and convince anyone that Japanese games are awesome. If you don't like them, don't play them. If they frustrate you beyond what you can bear, and you can't not play the frustrating parts for whatever reason, again don't play them. But here is a few things that are very...
