    Corporate Responsibility Kills Humor

    The line "brevity is the soul of wit" occurs in an overlong monologue. The joke is supposed to be that he should take his own advice.

    Disney Heroines Morph Into Pop Culture Icons in Striking Fan Art

    It's been a while since I've seen some of these but as far as crossovers go these are pretty on point. Meg/Catwoman and Jane/Lara Croft in particular. I'm not sure who Esmeralda is supposed to be?

    Titan Likely Cost Blizzard More Than $50 Million

    Man, I know pulling the plug must be hard, especially after years and millions of dollars, that project is your baby. But I kind of really respect Blizzard for this decision; it shows they know when to quit, instead of a shipping a game that you know isn't going to meet expectations. To be...

    Hyrule Warriors Review - Triforce, Trifurious

    I've never played a Dynasty Warriors game, though I'm a Zelda fan and the brawler, button-mashing-y gameplay looks like lots of fun and lots of stress relief. Putting them together just seems like the ideal marriage. Man it's been a long time since I've been this genuinely excited about a...

    The Big Picture: The Fall of Kevin Smith, Part III

    I think it's probably more he's just not their style of humor. If you like his humor, you're going to like his movies, but if you don't, you won't like any of them, because they're all kind of the same style, for lack of a better word. That being said, personally I can handle JB in very...

    Unskippable: Ryse: Son of Rome - Son of Combat Tutorial

    "Gods don't meddle in the affairs of mortals" Really? Because if there's anything mythology has taught me that is precisely what they do. Like, exclusively.

    Zero Punctuation: Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes - $40 Demo

    Jesus, that just..."makes me extremely uncomfortable" is an understatement. Everyone talking about this game so far has only mentioned the "40 dollar demo" thing. I'm not sure which is a worse problem, honestly.

    Homestar Runner Updates For The First Time in Four Years

    The Cheat is not deeeaaaaaaad! I'm so glad the Cheat is not dead! Even if this isn't a permanent comeback (and if I was to be completely honest with myself, I doubt it. I think that chapter of the internet has been closed) it still made me grin from ear to ear for a trip down memory lane...

    OKCupid Asks Firefox Users To Support LGBT Rights, Switch Browsers

    I'm not sure where you're seeing anyone advocate for his removal. Okcupid just politely informed you in case that sort of thing is important to you. People are allowed to continue to use a product regardless of the CEOs personal beliefs, just as people are allowed to choose not to support people...

    Blizzard Announces Blizzard Outcasts Fighting Game For April Fools

    I can assure you Kael'thas is alive and well in the fandom world. But I gave a hearty chuckle at these, especially the Observer vs. Spirit Healer screenshot.

    Let's Look at Art

    I've heard from the grapevine that the actual guy is pretty cool. His persona though seems to target the same audience that enjoyed Fred, what with all the screeching. More power to him for doing well for himself. Personally I'll watch a let's play with less noise. Also I hope it's true that...

    Divergent? More Like "Why-Vergent"

    ITT: Every YA-fiction-book-turned-movie is "Twilight" for some reason. Yeah ok. OT: I saw it last night and thought it was decent. Not great, but decent. The movie doesn't get exciting until the third act, when the big debacle finally goes down. They hint at it all throughout the first...

    Crimea's Attorney-General Inspires Anime-Style Fan-Art

    I'm on the fence about this one. On the one hand, sexualized fanart of world leaders exists everywhere, and no, there's nothing wrong with finding her attractive. On the other, it comes across as condescending to me when you take a woman in a position of power and say "oh, look at how cute...

    Artist Transforms Classic Video Games Into Romance Novel Covers

    I am pleasantly surprised by the Ryu/Ken one. I never thought of that one, but it seems so obvious now.
