    Escape to the Movies: Elysium

    The Lion King. The Hyenas were the oppressed lower class. They were cast out for being greedy and taking too much from the lions, and when Scar gave them a position of power after his coup they destroyed the Pride Lands. It's not really a "rich vs. poor movie", but I think it's interesting.

    Feed Dump: Feed Dump 100

    YAY 100! I can't believe this has been going so long. This is still my favourite source for news, keep it up!

    The Canadian Front

    More of an inside joke for Canadians. Tim Hortons is our coffee shop, it's a national treasure. And we have a reputation for saying sorry about everything.

    Feed Dump: Condoms, Roaches and Fire

    After this episode I have learned the meanings of "gestalt" and "ourobouros". Thanks, Cam! Feed Dump: the only real news.

    Poll: Honestly, was Xbox Live worth it this gen? Will you pay for it next gen?

    Nope. I got XBL for one year, and I haven't had it for three years. Not worth it for me, I'm going to get a PS4 next gen unless Microsoft decides to offer their online service for free. They're not going to compete with free services like Steam, PSN, Nintendo's service, Origin, etc, unless...

    Thousands Sign Petition Demanding Removal of SimCity DRM

    If these people are so pissed off about it, why did they buy it? It's not like DRM is something new and confusing, we've been dealing with this for years. If you don't like it, don't buy it. They'll notice poor sales before they notice a petition.

    Xbox Live Ultimate Game Sale Kicks Off Today

    I hope they keep this up for the next console. Steam sales are great, and of course that's why they're doing this. They know people don't like XBL. Hopefully they'll try to give incentive in the next console cycle instead of trying to force money out of their customers.

    Astronomers Spot Black Hole Spinning Near the Speed of Light

    I'm still trying to wrap my mind around "the surface" of the black hole. It would be the event horizon, but that's not really a "surface" and I can't see how it could be spinning since it's really just a point at which light can't escape. So does that mean that the event horizon is the...

    Artists Capture The Spirit of Mass Effect

    Aww, I wish I had known this was going on. I must join CGHub, I suppose. I'd have given the volus their deserved status as "Space Dwarves"

    No Right Answer: Most Idiotic Fictitious Corporation Ever

    The bit about the Resident Evil protagonists had Egoraptor written all over it. If I was just listening I could have mistaken you for him.

    Feed Dump: Stuffed Snake

    I lost it at "Co-caine and co-caine accessories". Best episode in quite a while :D

    The Great Step Forward

    Had to zoom in and read the little article at the end to get it. He had to write an article on cupcakes, and it turned into a huge rant about "the ethics of game journalism", or how he hates his career.

    How old were you when you had your first cigarette?

    I had one of these. Vodka coolers.

    How old were you when you had your first cigarette?

    Wow, people start young. I guess I was lucky. I tried once, when I was 17. First time I drank, too. Was at my friend's grad party and everyone was like "let's corrupt the nerdy kid". So people were all asking "are you drunk yet?", and then there was the one "Here, smoke this cigarette."...
