    Remake Retake

    It isn't. It's not a BAD JRPG but any means. It's just not great either. It was the first one off Nintendo, the first on CD, the first with 3D cutscenes everywhere, the first with a major and extremely successful ad campaign. It sold Playstations. Lots of people who didn't know what an...

    Avengers 3 Arriving Early? Captain America: Civil War Reveals Plot And Cast

    Damn... Can Don Cheadle get some love? Named everyone else...

    The Best and Worst of Fate Reforged

    I'm more surprised he said Taigam's Scheming was bad... That card is AMAZING. It's a 2 mana for a Scry 5... BUT BETTER. Why Scry forces you to put unwated cards on the bottom of your library, where they are basically dead, Taigam's Scheming allows you put them in your graveyard, where they...

    The Big Picture: Je Suis Charlie

    I was on my way to posting "oh yay, I agree with Bob again" but then he went on this long speech about punching up/punching down and stopped short of the obvious conclusion: It's a bullshit notion. Morality is defined by ACTS, not perpetrators. A moral person is one who commits moral ACTS...

    Deadpool Will Get His Own Movie, Starring Ryan Reynolds

    Man, he's been trying to get this movie since the late 90s... Good for him. On the other hand, I wish he'd gotten it earlier. Kelly's Deadpool was awesome, post FabNic Deadpool is... Ugh...

    The Big Picture: Don't Censor Me!

    Morality and legality place LIMITS on free speech, generally for the sake of security, privacy or property. But they are just that, LIMITS on free speech. That, as with all things, is a matter of context. Let's look at current events: During this whole Sarkeesian crap there has been a...

    The Big Picture: Don't Censor Me!

    Just because we can't point to a true anarchy in the world today, doesn't mean the concept doesn't exist. Free speech is the concept of being able to say anything, anywhere and anytime. In actuality this is rarely the case. There is a time and place for things, there is a limit on what can...

    The Big Picture: Don't Censor Me!

    It IS free speech. It simply isn't protected by law, hence its name. You are still confusing the concept of free speech (saying what you want, when you want). This concept is infringed upon for legal and moral reasons (and sometimes illegal and immoral reasons). By definition, anything...

    The Big Picture: Don't Censor Me!

    Right is a matter of legality. Free speech can be infringed upon, even legally, with the right reason ("Fire!" in a crowded theater for a typical example). It is STILL an infringement on free speech.

    The Big Picture: Don't Censor Me!

    No. Censorship is anyone or anything preventing someone from saying what they want. Things like legal right and morality only come into play with context, as is the case with pretty much every verb. Example: Situation 1: You and I are walking down the street, we cross paths, I blow your...

    The Big Picture: Don't Censor Me!

    Kinda. It is justified. It is righteous. It is legal. But it is also breaching their free speech.

    The Big Picture: Don't Censor Me!

    Free speech is not unique to the United States, nor the Bill of Rights. Free speech is the idea that you can say whatever you want wherever you want. Anything that limits that is a violation of your free speech. When you tell me I can't yell 'Fire!' in a crowded theater, you ARE violating...

    The Big Picture: Don't Censor Me!

    It WAS censorship. It WAS violating free speech. It just wasn't illegal. And likely not immoral either. The problem is that America worships free speech as a concept, but hates it as a fact...

    The Big Picture: Don't Censor Me!

    The method of influence isn't the point, it's just the idea. The same could happen if the owners of every major publication were just friends who agreed on a subject and decided to silence opposition to said subject. Legal, but dishonest. Would it kill you to write me one? Geez! I'm...

    The Big Picture: Don't Censor Me!

    Right. But let's say I am ungodly rich and I don't want the message to go out, so I buy every major publication and tell them not to report it. It's legal. But is it honest? Is it just? Is it RIGHT? I mean, I have the right to do it. And I SHOULD have the right to do it. But should I...
