    Why do so many people on the internet like to characterize Japan as sex-crazy?

    (I know that post was very US-centric, but that's where I live and it's my frame of reference. So I MIGHT be stretching it a little here without realizing it.)

    Why do so many people on the internet like to characterize Japan as sex-crazy?

    A lot of it is thanks to the videotape boom of the 1980s. Since videos were less restricted by film industry censorship than theatrical movies and TV were, a huge number of super-violent, disturbing, ugly movies appeared regularly on shelves. They were massively controversial, especially in the...

    Escape to the Movies: Wreck-It Ralph

    Oh, boy... when Bob said "Unfortunately..." I got nervous for a second. Good to know this movie is good! Been excited for it!

    Favourite "Harry Potter" books

    Philosopher's Stone (to hell with the pointless rename!) is personally my favorite. Now, I wouldn't say it's the BEST of the series in terms of quality, but it does a great job of introducing the world and characters as well as being a good stand-alone story, and it's the one I reread the most...

    I was so excited to play this game, and I wasn't disappointed! It's as good as I've always hoped!

    Escape to the Movies: Resident Evil Retribution

    You know, personally, I thought that the first Resident Evil game really DID have a pretty good story. It did a really great job of keeping an aura of eeriness and mystery, and when the solutions were finally revealed it was legitimately exciting and shocking. The later games' stories weren't...

    Rumor Mill: Half Life 3 To Have Open-World, Quests

    I'm not believing anything about Half-Life 3. I'm not even sure if it's being made. I'm glad I haven't played any of the games, because if I was a fan, I'd pretty much have gone insane by now!

    Poll: What's the best animated show airing right now?

    I adore Gravity Falls. Mostly because its hilarious, but also partly because Mabel and Dipper ARE my sister and I. Like, we're basically the same people.

    Eidos Employee Fired Over "Hate Speech" on Facebook

    Okay, I'm American, and WHY HAVE I NOT SEEN ANYTHING ON THE NEWS ABOUT A FREAKING ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT ON A POLITICIAN'S LIFE?

    Notch Tweets Rage Over Minecraft Party Sexual Assault

    Wow. Good on Notch for at least caring, and I hope that there'll be some way to bring the guy to justice. As for the arguments going on in this thread, I'd have to say that there IS something funny about this- the funny part is the loser freak that decided to assault a woman in a public...

    An Escapist Farewell

    Awww. Well, I'll miss you. Good luck on your future endeavors. And I give you either my congratulations, or my condolences, for whatever private matter it was that forced you to quit.

    Jimquisition: Sony's Begging For Piracy

    It's frankly baffling how many idiotic mistakes Sony has been making. As someone who only owns Nintendo and Sony systems, I must say I'm envious of Microsoft fans- the House of Gates isn't immune to being a big dumb corporation, lord no, but it has its sh*t together.

    Internet Petition Brings Aliens: Colonial Marines Female Jarheads

    I find it a little hard to swallow that they were planning this "for a long time" (considering how they clearly stated that there would not be any female marines, but this is still obviously a good thing, and I'm glad that it won't delay development yet again. Also: playable Ripley and...

    Meet the (Female) Team With These Dashing Team Fortress 2 Portraits

    I like the look of these designs, though I don't agree with all of them. Pyro should still hide her face (she's not a Pyro without a mask!), and Soldier should be older, and less pretty- she's a veteran, after all, if these are indeed simple "genderbent" versions of the male characters.
