    Suicide Squad - Official Trailer Released.

    I will be pleasantly surprised if this movie ends up being better than the DC Animated film 'Batman: Assault on Arkham'. Emphasis on "surprised". You can practically hear the gears grinding trying to keep this thing moving.

    Anybody find sex overrated?

    If you told me that my next sexual encounter way going to be the equivalent of Little Caesars or Shakey's Pizza I'd give serious thoughts to becoming a eunuch.

    Fighting games

    Well there's your problem. MK tends to, in my experience, foster, for some reason, a whinier than average community and gamefaqs is basically the Mos Eisley of video game discussions regardless of what game. Most of the stuff your complaining about are because the people complaining about it...

    Recommend me a monitor

    You can probably find whatever you're looking for on this list: http://www.displaylag.com/display-database/ It's a website pretty much devoted to finding monitors by ideal gaming criteria.

    Sword Art Online... WTF Happened?

    I think the easiest way to get someone into anime is to find their preferred genre(s) of western television and movies and find the best examples of anime equivalent. Madoka Magika may be a really good anime but I doubt you're as likely to convert a (for example) die hard Star Wars fan to anime...

    Poll: Open discussion on "rude" and other rules

    Moderating is thankless. Yes. Difficult? Not really. Not unless you have a ton of ticky-tack rules to enforce and a user-base that uses your services as a proxy to fight their battles for them. Hell, The Escapist, as best as I can tell, has quit a favorable mod to general user ratio (or at...

    Poll: Open discussion on "rude" and other rules

    That's discouraging to hear. If a mod is heavily invested in one side of a discussion AND is incapable of behaving like a professional then rules are likely to be more strictly applied (or, worst case scenario, incorrectly applied) to those who they disagree with while being more loosely...

    Poll: Open discussion on "rude" and other rules

    House? I would say this place is probably closer to an elementary/primary school. That said you raise a point that I'm curious about as it relates to this forum, other forums and IRL environments of consequence. In general whether it's on the internet or IRL it seems to be a common trend...

    NY Woman to Become Fire Fighter Without Passing Physical Exam

    I was using the weightlifting as an example of men being significantly stronger pound for pound than women. As far as how this is relevant to firefighting well being physically capable of carrying another human being is kind of nice and most of gear that's involved in the job is insanely heavy...

    NY Woman to Become Fire Fighter Without Passing Physical Exam

    Actually it kind of is what we're talking about here as the job in question is one of the more physically demanding occupations where the downside to fucking up could be someones life. If the job wasn't physically demanding they wouldn't bother having physical requirements for it. I also...

    What fighting game(s) did you guys play to make you hate fighting games so much?

    I'm trying to say my piece in the least dick-ish way possible so please keep that in mind if you continue reading. The people who're complaining about Boss Seth in SFIV don't make me question their skill at fighting games (if someone says they're bad at fighting games I usually take their word...

    NY Woman to Become Fire Fighter Without Passing Physical Exam

    A better example would be the even more specialized field of Olympic lifting. In that environment the world records by weight for men and women aren't even remotely close. Per Wikipedia the combined snatch and clean & jerk lifts world records for the second heaviest women's weight class (75kg)...

    You write up a big, long post about something that has been on your mind for a long time....

    Two hours? No. But I would say that ~1/2 of the posts I start never make it to 'Post'. Whether it's a lengthy explanation on how someone has completely missed the point of competitive fighting games or the beginning of a doctoral thesis on why someone's taste in anime is provably shit some...

    Zero Punctuation: Mortal Kombat X - Test Your Might

    I deal with a lot of children with apparently quit shitty parents while riding public transportation so I decided to amend your statement.

    Unlockables in fighting games, yay or nay?

    Not especially. Fuck no. At the very least it might interfere with me picking the character I want to play. More likely though it's massively inconvenient when dealing with friends or events. There's a reason only one version of Street Fighter IV had unlockable characters. It's because the...
