    Superman/Batman Title Revealed, And It's Hilarious

    More like Batman V Superman: Dusk of Justice, am I right? I'll see myself out.. But seriously, you have a movie where a dude who dresses like a bat is gonna do battle with a dude who dresses in spandex. Who the fuck gives a shit about the title by this point?

    Solar roadways

    If they can produce solar panels cheap enough to make it viable to cover entire roads in, then I say, more power to them! Look, I'm trying really hard not to be cynical here, seriously.

    Trying to introduce Girlfriend to pc gaming

    Trine and Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light both seem like good suggestions. I'd also add Audiosurf, Guacamelee, Rayman Legends, and Saints Row 3 and 4.

    My daughter is named Tali'Zorah. I suppose I'm crazy : )

    You're wrong. First of all, Mass Effect is a fairly popular franchise, so she'll probably meet people who will be familiar with the origin of her name, and whom at best will think her name is kind of cool, or at worst they'll tease her about it. Second of all, Tali or Zorah would perhaps...

    Gone too soon or overstayed its welcome?

    I think I'd rather have a series I like get cancelled rather have it drift into mediocrity. For example, I'm of the opinion that Battlestar Galactica was a much worse show than Firefly, because even though BSG intrigued me more, I thought that the ending of it was nonsensical, and a cheap way to...

    It Gets Better Later

    I think it greatly depends on the medium. A film might take long time to build up, but eventually, it might become really good. A TV series, on the other hand, is formulaic, so if 2 or 3 episodes in there's nothing to even remotely hold your interest, then that's probably not going to change...

    That one mistake...

    This is a strange one, but I've noticed that a lot of people on the internet are incapable of writing the word "woman". More specifically, they use the plural version of the word, when the context of the sentence requires they use the singular one, so instead of writing "woman", they write...

    Deep Silver Gets Humble With a Bundle

    Have you tried Wine [http://www.winehq.org/]? I don't know how taxing it is on resources, but it's a free software, and it should get the job done.

    Poll: Do you think evolution and the earth were effected by outside sources?

    Define "better". Why would an advanced alien race need to interfere with the ongoing evolutionary process on Earth? That's sci-fi logic at work.

    Why is Gordon Freeman held up as the zenith of silent protagonists?

    I agree that Gordon Freeman's lack of agency limits Half-Life's narrative potential, and I think this is a big issue that Valve have to solve if Half-Life is to go anywhere interesting with its narrative. I don't think the way to do that is by giving Gordon a voice or having dialog options in...

    No Hope for Valve To Make Future Games Anytime Soon

    I can't say that I agree. Both Half-Life games came out at a time when the market was overcrowded with FPS games, and on both occasions, Half-Life managed to stand out. While being really polished, and really well designed, the first game in the series primarily stood out because of its use of...

    Valve to Indie Devs: Don't Use Publishers to Bypass Greenlight

    What I want to know is whether or not any of this is covered in Greenlight's terms. It's kind of hard to tell who's in the wrong without knowing that first.

    The Unofficial Friendly Steam Trading Thread

    Zeno Clash, Rome: Total War, or Steam Trading Card Beta Access for X-com Enemy Unknown?

    Do you find playing a character of the other gender awkward?

    No, I don't find it awkward at all. I'm male, and more often than not, I'll choose to play as a female character, if the option exists.

    Poll: Do you want an apology?

    No, I don't want an apology. I've been bullied, and I've went to quite some extremes to sever all ties with those responsible. While it would be nice to know that they at least developed a conscience and feel remorse for their actions, I don't really care at this point; they're dead to me. Truth...
