    To me Game of Thrones will never be the same (S4E8 discussion)

    Hahaha. Yeah, Oberyn dying was rough, in the books too. I think the difference is in how characters are presented in the books and the show though. In the show, the characters get screentime, and are all roughly equal, right? But in the books you only have a select few characters from whose...

    WAS Magneto right?

    Magneto is a pragmatist, while Xavier is an idealist. To an extent, Magneto is right. If mutants are revealed and humans know about them, they'll want to capture them, dissect them, come to fear them, and so on. On the other hand, Xavier is right too, because without Magneto antagonizing the...

    Antagonists You Liked More Than The Protagonist?

    I don't know if I liked him more than the protagonists strictly speaking... But I liked Makishima from the anime Psycho-Pass a lot, and by the end was rooting for his plan to succeed. I also tend to like villains in movies where the protagonist is a generic macho action guy, and has no real...

    Things in Fiction that make you cringe...

    Extreme awkwardness, a la The Office or 40 Year Old Virgin is the only thing I can't handle. When I'm watching with others I can power through it and laugh about it all, but if I'm watching by myself then it bothers me too much, even during scenes with that type of stuff in other shows, and I...

    Game of Thrones T-Shirt Leads To Suspension Of College Professor

    Why is anyone defending this? A man posted a picture of his daughter, on his own time, on his own Facebook page, with a well known and easily understood quote from a popular tv show. Somehow that gets him a trip to the Dean, who for some reason has such an ego complex that he thinks all of this...

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

    Fantastic! Yahtzee basically said that he liked the gameplay, and I would never in my wildest dreams expect him to enjoy the story or any of the dialogue of a MGS title, so this is about the best news I could have hoped for. As for it being overpriced, of course it is. But I feel like regular...

    SPOILERS I liked the 'how I met your mother ending'

    You're not wrong, but I still thought the ending was pretty damn bad. But I thought all of this season was pretty bad, and the previous 2 were not in top form either. But regardless, the reason I found it bad is because it essentially negated so much of the storyline. I have no problem with...

    The Big Bang Theory: Sheldon Chooses Between PS4 vs. Xbox One

    There was a lot of product placement in that episode. PS4 and Xbox One most obviously, but also that Raj shops at Jcrew. Why was that necessary? But whatever, it isn't that it bothered me, just surprised me since that isn't something that usually happens on tv. The best part of the episode...

    The Failure of 'Dark' Fantasy

    Dark fantasy is a trend, yes, but it's one I like. It isn't about historical accuracy, necessarily (though you will find precedent for events like Martin's Red Wedding in history), but about being realistic in terms of human nature, which such authors believe to be dark, violent, often...

    CD Projekt: Cyberpunk Will Be A True RPG

    I'm not familiar with the franchise... But it's CDPR, so I am very excited for this game. I love sci-fi, so I'm really looking forward to it.

    Poll: How is Metal Gear Solid 2?

    If MGS2 is subpar in any way, it's only because the other games are so amazing. MGS2 is still a good game, even if it does get a bad reputation for having Raiden as a main character for the majority of it. The gameplay is the same gameplay you know and love, it still has the MGS storyline, and...

    Kanye West Gets Counter Cease-and-Desist from Coinye Creators

    This is hilarious! I hope they keep it up, and don't get sued to hell and shut down too quickly. And I think South Park is definitely going to do an episode on this topic soon. Between Bitcoins, Doge Coins, and now this, there are ample opportunities for comedy.

    Could anyone care less about the Wii U at this point?

    Haven't been interested in anything related to Nintendo in about a decade now, and that isn't changing. I'm not particularly interested in either of the other consoles at the moment either. In fact, the only games I even really want to play are Witcher 3 and MGS5. Witcher 3 will be on the pc as...

    Poll: "Lack of skill" of other players is not a legit justification for being an asshole

    To be perfectly honest, I have little sympathy for people that choose to play multiplayer games and then are unhappy with the fact that it requires having to deal with shitty people. That's just a part of life. People trash talk during sports and games even in real life, so it's no surprise that...

    Poll: Let's settle this once and for all: Musical numbers in kids' films, yay or nay?

    It depends. Sometimes it works, like in Disney animated movies, where a lot of the songs are fantastic and classics on their own merit. But at other times it feels like it's just a money grabbing addition, and adds nothing to the movie... So I don't know how to answer this. It depends on the...
