    Now add in the wonderful world of union contract negotiations, overtime request sheets, and endless departmental bickering and this show will be perfect.

    Study Says Videogames "Problematize" Religion as Violent

    Psalm 137 as translated reads "Happy shall he be, that takes and dashes your little ones against the stones." The full quote is actually about a phrophesy after Babylon did the exact same thing to them. It was a fairly common practice at the time. Later verses of the Bible specifically forbid...

    Halo 4 Wishlist

    I'm just happy getting something I like to play. New games will come and the way coders and game designers work theres nothing to stop them from starting a pet project on their own anyway as long as they create and use their own IP. Plus it keeps good designers employed and a massive Microsoft...

    Poll: Capitalism or Communism?

    What exactly gives you the right to judge my assertions on the nature of economic systems? My mothers family fled Cuba in the 1980's, I was born in Detroit and lived in the ghettos around Hamtramck for most of my life, surrounded by Polish and eastern europeans that fled the USSR. I worked in a...

    Poll: Capitalism or Communism?

    Oh yes, Cuba is a shining example. Next time I'm able to visit the mass graves around La Cabaña where Che Guavara executed my great uncle and his sons for refusing to give up their storefront and work on a plantation I'll keep in mind how fantastic the revolution was. Or how about the practice...

    Is Halo slowly losing its steam?

    It's not so much that the Halo series has lost steam as vitrolic hatred of it seems to have moved on to other games. The Halo games still sell more than ever and people still play the multiplayer in the tens of thousands, there just aren't as many debates about it on the internet anymore...

    Modern Warfare 3 Breaks Every Sales Record Known to Man

    Lowest common denominator of appeal. Poll your average game buyer and you'll find some people like one game type while others hate it, you'll fine niche gamers, and you'll find title snobs. But in most western nations (and especially the U.S) there is a common visceral appeal to blowing things...

    Modern Warfare 3 Breaks Every Sales Record Known to Man

    Good for Activision, they publish games that I like to play. Quality is subjective and the MW series and shooters like it appeal to the greatest volume of video game players. I like shooters, rts's, puzzle games, and rpg's. I hate racing games, 'horror' games, and sandboxes. I especially...

    Poll: US Congress thinks Pizza is a health food.

    Does this mean they're going to get rid of nacho day too? That was the highlight of my week growing up. I was poor so I got discounted milk but I would save up my milk money for 2 weeks just to get a plate of stale chips coated in the artery clogging goodness that is nacho cheese, then I'd top...

    What do you want for the Holidays that ISN'T a game?

    A box of cigars from ybor city Florida. To spend a great time in NY with my friends. To return to see my family for Christmas. Aside from the cigars I'm just looking for a good time with family and friends. I'm Catholic so the gifts aren't all that good anyway, I'm in it for the whole...

    Do you ever get called a hipster?

    I iron my shirts, I have my suits drycleaned, I get my hair cut every month by a barber (not a stylist, not a hairdresser, and not my friend that dropped out of cosmetic school. But a trained, certified, honest to God barber damnit), and I shine my shoes. For all that it costs me less in a month...

    Upsetting Trends That Bother You

    People trying to educate me on taxes. I've been a tax accountant for years but since the damn Tea Party and now these God forsaken Occupy X people there seems to be no end to the number of people who think they've divined the true nature of the tax code. Gee, wish I could have learned that neat...

    How would you survive a horror movie?

    Simple answer, by being the bad guy. Kill off the protagonists and move on to my next crappy sequel.

    Poll: UK Citizenship Quiz

    I'm a U.S citizen and I got, 21 out of 24, but most of mine were law and immigration based and that's kind of in my job description. Edit: Though I am also one of the few Americans I know that can pass the U.S citizenship test.

    Utah Man Jailed For Alleged Wiimote Rape

    I'll take a crack at it. I don't think that the death penalty can reasonably called in under the current legal system. However, this does not mitigate my feelings that this individual should be killed. Hopefully he'll be put in prison with a father. Justice comes in many forms, why not at...
