    Extra Punctuation: Battlefield 3 Is Scary

    Just thought I'd mention, perhaps a quibble, but there's a large gulf of difference between Patriotism and Nationalism, nationalism being the negative form of patriotism. Patriotism generally encompasses dissent (Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it...

    Come Rob With Me

    That game is brutal. I think we were playing it wrong, but me and my friends lost in a few turns and were scratching our heads as to "how in God's name could we have beaten that?" :P Pretty awesome game though.

    Poll: Would accept to live in this village/reality show for a year for 10 million $

    Haha I love the idea of nested reality shows. The viewer watches you watching someone else who's getting into drama (probably over the fact that you're watching them in the first place :P )

    Do you know ANYONE who has actually gone from gay to straight post-puberty?

    Which is why I entirely removed my post. I thought it might be a bit flamey and underresearched. I merely meant to say #1 and most importantly, any argument that claims "gay people don't reproduce" has in its foundation a flawed axiom, and #2, that the gay gene has a psychological component is...

    Do you know ANYONE who has actually gone from gay to straight post-puberty?

    Edit- Jovlo beat me to my argument, no need to make it again. QFT, people should learn to accept wiggle room in reality. To paraphrase Einstein, if physical laws are perfect, then they don't describe reality.

    Netflix Splitting Streaming and Rental Services into Two Companies

    "We're adding videogames!" I was like :D "They'll be available from a different service called Qwikster!" Then I was like D: OT: Yeah, I'm especially mad because I lost a lot of money on what I thought was a really good stock. *sigh*

    The (new) Most Dangerous Game

    The first one that actually deleted was his college paper, all the system 32 ones claimed they were "Safe," though one or two of those deletions looked like temporary system files or dumps or something, which might cause problems the next time he boots up.

    The (new) Most Dangerous Game

    Oh Jesus that made me nervous just watching that guy. I might rather play real Russian roulette.

    Rage Cuts Single-Player When You Buy It Used

    Well everyone hates the sewer level anyway (though the one in Silent Hill Homecoming was pretty neat)

    Transgender

    Neither is eating food with a knife and fork, but I do that every night. And driving to work. Or biking, if you will. Or work. Hell "society," "money," "religion," "sex," "love," anything you do that's steeped in language isn't a "natural occurrence." The use of the word "tolerated" here seems...

    Center for Disease Control Reveals Zombie Apocalypse Plan

    Meanwhile, in the world run by the CDC: http://xkcd.com/734/ All films end up as romantic comedies. It's a lot more boring in that world.

    Valve: Portal's Chell is Silent Because It's Funnier

    But remember that one time when GLaDOS was all, "I'm going to kill you now," and Chell was all, "NO WAI!"

    How to Read Movie News

    He did? Wow, you learn something new about your heroes all the time ^_^ (I may have just lost a bit more respect for him though :P )

    How to Read Movie News

    You've forgotten Alien: Resurrection. Proof that not even the venerable JW is perfect... (though pretty darn close) Sigourney Weaver falls in love with an alien, does that make the alien the target audience? :O

    H.P. Lovecraft Teaching Sex Ed is, Well, Terrifying

    Fantastic. A little too far over the top, but a rare wonderful amateur film. Also as for American sex-ed, ours was just a candid open discussion. Thank God they didn't do it like this.
