I played Oblivion as a Redguard (despite being one of those cis white dudes) to get poison immunity. That's pretty much the only effect race has in Elder Scrolls games. But yeah... when I was totally new to the game, unaware of the things to come, and approached a town, and suddenly an Orc...

Hey, if Gerber's Howard the Duck gets a chance, then why not Stewart the Rat? http://www.aboutcomics.com/PRESS/STEWART/STEWART.HTM Only it's not Marvel.

Remember Al Pacino's speech in Devil's Advocate? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jARp24AJWLk

I suppose Valerie Cardinal from Far Cry deserves a mention. She felt kinda forced and tacked on, striking teh sexay poses while she and Jack Carver were discussing their next move. Felt like, "look at me, I'm selling the game to you, you're male so you're supposed to find this forced sexy posing...

The Sims was an interesting stab in the direction of turning human interaction into a game mechanic. But when they tacked the friendship mechanic onto GTA IV it just felt out of place.

A reboot equivalent for Disco Stu in the Simpsons reboot? Dubstep Dew. Has to be.

Hah. Rubik's Cube enthusiasts use these: http://speedcubeshop.com/Accessories-LanLan-Sticker-Remover-Kit

Most common sticker adhesives are fat soluble. So you can first rub the stain with vegetable oil or orange peel aka citrus oil (they sell this specifically for label removal). The adhesive dissolves into the oil, and you can then wash both off with soap and water. This won't damage the plastic...

Roughly one third of the world's entire population is fed by the Haber-Bosch process which uses oil and natural gas to bind nitrogen to hydrogen, to create ammonia that can be used to make fertilizer. This fertilizer launched the Green Revolution which boomed Earth's population. The...

Another great from the 90s: Duckman. I hope yo'll have time to take a musing look at that too!

Thread bounce. I'd say the miniguns in Just Cause 2 are among the most fun I've seen. Not realistic, but fun. The mounted one can be detached and carried (a bit like in Lost Planet), but it makes you unable to jump and run, and you have to stop while firing. But the sounds and particle...

There's yet another challenge to overcome: rolling shutter. Even these super duper expensive Red Epic film cameras have CMOS sensors which are not read all at once, but scanned top to bottom. Most of the time it doesn't seem like a problem, but it can be quite jarring at times.

"Ended coming up a bit short"? So yeah, when are you going to review Brave? Why didn't you?

One recent movie monster that deserves more credit IMO is Grendel in Beowulf (the 3D animated movie which everyone has forgotten about by now). He wasn't just a rampaging beast, he also made the audience feel pity for him. Aw, Grendel was like a big autistic woobie. And they felt disgust...

I get irritated when people try to sell me stuff by juxtaposing the stuff with sexy females. Booth babes, all that, just puts the thought "quit shoving your shit down my throat" way ahead of "oo, a babe". Not to mention what their definition of sexy is, and how they always assume I'm just...
