From the looks of it, it seems to be very FPS-ey and not as much of a classic 'Mech game. But it still looks very sharp; I'll be watching and hoping that this one plays as good as it looks.

It's mind gaming. It's, to my mind, no worse than a gal "playing hard to get" or "saying the exact frigging opposite of what she means and assuming her man is psychic." Is it right? Well, probably not, but it's no less right than playing mind games, which (according to the culture anyway)...

What kind of police do you people have in the States? No officer I've ever known responds to a domestic disturbance call with gun drawn; they're trained to know when and where to do it. Rest assured, (here in Canada anyway) if an RCMP officer has his gun drawn on you, he intends to shoot you...

Civil War was in the middle of its run when I read House of M, and I never got back to it. Might have to go on the "books to read" list, if for nothing else than to prevent further internet tut-tutting.

All I can think about now is how awesome cheeseburger macaroni would be! Gonna do me some grocery shopping tonight. As far as comics continuity goes, the rise of Wikipedia has indeed been a boon. I only got into comics a few years ago (2003, at the ripe old age of 22, with the thoroughly...

How is it that we've gotten this far and no one's mentioned one of the greatest-ever title menu songs yet? I give you, from Civilization 4, "Baba Yetu." This song is regularly on my mp3 player playlist. Before I got an mp3 version I would regularly let the title screen play for several...

I'll give a couple ones that I don't think have been mentioned yet that I quite enjoy, Full Frontal Nerdity - if you like gaming references, especially tabletop games. Crimson Dark - good 3D comic with a well-developed universe The Whiteboard - goofy paintball related webcomic...

Yeah I suspect the difference in travel time is because of the "stopping and starting" nature of Street View. If you click the little forward arrow on the road it goes ahead just a bit and then stops, and then you have to click the arrow again. Given that it only travels a few meters at a time...

Oh I agree you can't blame the market or the devs for issues in hardware. I just view it as one reason why PC gaming is struggling against the console market. If your console game needs to be updated, or your console's OS needs an update the system takes care of it almost automatically, while...

PC Gaming is more focused than it used to be. It used to be, especially after Half-Life came out, that the best games all around were on the PC. Best graphics, best gameplay, best stories. Then, when the PS2 and original Xbox came out, console gaming took a major leap forward, especially in...

THIS! Right here is truth! The so-called "facts" that the respondents were questioned on are controversial matters. Matters where opinion is strong. I would also venture to guess that the questions were not worded as clearly as they were presented in the conclusion. To say that they...

The Mistborn Trilogy (Mistborn, The Well of Ascension, The Hero of Ages) by Brandon Sanderson. Good deep story with some excellent twists. Starfire Trilogy (Crusade, In Death Ground, The Shiva Option) by David Weber. Very similar style to the Honorverse novels by him, but I like the space...

But magic and myth exist in the Marvel universe outside of the Thor mythos. Dr Strange, for example, or Ghost Rider. You think they should ignore some of their iconic characters because they're not "science-y" enough for you?

The point was made already, but allow me to drive it home a bit more too. Are you going to ***** during Captain America, because the US never had super soldiers in WWII? Do you reject Battlestar Galactica because they miss a few of the finer points of Mormon cosmology? Will you boycott the next...

Lewis also explicitly said it in one of his letters. He was asked by the letter-writer who Aslan really is, and the answer was something along the lines of, "Who is it in our world who is sometimes called a Lion, died and came back to life, and arrived at around the same time as Father...
