Well... Damn. I'd heard that this was getting good reviews, but I was NOT expecting to hear Bob praise it to the moon and back like that. I was going to skip this movie myself, because I was so disgusted by the ads with that damn snowman, but I went and listened to Idena Menzel's song from the...

SYSTEM SHOCK, SYSTEM SHOCK, SYSTEM SHOCK, SYSTEM SHOCK, SYSTEM SHOCK! ...whew. sorry about that. But yeah, System Shock. And I mean both of them! They are two of my favorite games of all time! Everyone knows how great the second one is, but the first one never gets any love! Both of them...

Um, she's not named after the food. She's named after Sir Francis Bacon, the philosopher. You know how Calvin and Hobbes were both named after famous European philosophers? (John Calvin and Thomas Hobbes, respectively.) The author of that comic obviously wanted to keep the theme going. I think...

Thank you my good madam! I would like to apologize for the misunderstanding. I did not in any way mean to insult the art team. I agree that they've done a nice job. Yes, you are correct. Some of us are just having a little fun with the Mass Effect controversy. ;)

Oh, no! They changed the website because the users wanted them to? But that destroys The Escapist's artistic integrity! They made an artistic decision to have the website the way it was before, and now they've caved in to the demands of the whiny fan-boys instead! This could set a dangerous...

And that's not even getting into the viral marketing campaign that that one got in the States! It was insane! Everybody was going around accusing everybody of being a Communist, and some jackass called Joseph McCarthy was harassing people for not liking the show. I mean seriously! What the Hell?

See, I thought the first two seasons of WWI were brilliant, as it really drove home that point you were talking about, the political BS, the waste of life, the utter pointlessness, etc. But then once it said everything it was going to say, it just kept going for 3 more seasons, with nothing but...

Hey, the first one wasn't very good either, so no real loss there. I mean, World War I started out pretty cool, with a lot of political intrigue and such, but then all of the story arcs proceeded to go absolutely nowhere, and the whole thing just fell apart! By the end, nothing was happening at...

Lol yeah, I know. I'm sorry! It is a pretty tough line to walk, isn't it? You get flak on either side. But hey, my problems with the song don't change the fact that it's awesome, I've listened to it half a dozen times already, and I can't wait to buy it on itunes! And you know, I think that's...

I saw the title of the video and thought "Oh, hell yes!" Heard the first 10 seconds and thought "Oh, hell yes!" again.Great Song, Gav. Loved the awesome Arabian vibe. If I have one thing to critique, though, it would be that the chorus of the song is too short. I loved it when I heard that...

My college roommate stole all of my money. Not just cash, but every last dollar I had in the bank. When I was taking a shower, he went into my wallet and copied the numbers off of my credit card. He then cleaned out my entire bank account and spent it all online. Most of it was spent on porn...

Tell me about it. I could see this kind of censorship law being made in China or North Korea or something, but to have it being seriously considered in the USA is really appalling. Weren't we supposed to represent freedom and liberty? Why the hell are we about to pass something that goes so...

Do you use Youtube? Facebook? Google? Deviantart? TvTropes? 4chan? Wikipedia? This very site? If the answer to any of those is yes, (and it is in at least one case,) you SHOULD give a fuck, because they are all based in the USA, they all have copyrighted material, and they all will be shut down...

Great episode, Jim. I think you also should have mentioned the Protect IP act, which from what I can tell seems to be very similar. But Protect IP right now seems to be in even more danger of being passed. If it was, any site that even LINKED to copyrighted material could be shut down or...

Sigh...so that's what this has all been about for you? Trying to get us to realize that some people think we're creepy? Of course we know that some people think we're creepy! We don't "fail to see it." We're very aware of it! And it bothers us! Because there is no actual reason for people to be...
