You just— but... you said, before, no matter how good the game is—— *frrzzz*

Remarkably shiny. Gotta respect a man who owns his baldness and polishes shit up.

Neither of the articles you linked particularly objectifies women in any way. Except for, of course, the fact that merely posting an article about a product that is based around sexual appeal is a tacit objectification of women.

Ye've got the wrong Femshep picture up there. In Rock Paper Shotgun's interview with Jennifer Hale, she says she likes the redheaded, freckled Femshep best. Not that any of those contest Femsheps look remotely like the PROPER Femshep.

...Which allows me to bring up the possibility that the only reason Desmond was so important to the original Animus project is that he has LOTS of ancestors that are all related to Ezio and Altair (so he's only good because he has better 'resolution' of those memories due to getting them from many sources).

And yet it was so much more capable than anything on the table right now. As things stand, the only way we're going to be seeing /any/ vehicles in space with similar versatility in the near future is going to be the result of the development of private sector space travel.

I can't quite agree with your assessment of Ghibli's adaptations "murdering" the original books. While Earthsea was certainly problematic, I have to say that I think the decisions they made on Howl's were very good. An attempt to cram the book's plot into a movie simply would have been disaster. What they did was…

Well, you complain about the Vehicle Voltron not getting any love, but the Voltron of the Middle Universe didn't even get his season!

Ruinga and Aeroga were pretty awesome if you used them right... and firaga was a tiny mushroom cloud style fireball. What more do you need?

With all due respect, I think he was saying exactly the same thing that you're saying— that Westwood had done almost all the work on EnB before EA came into the picture.

@Sumada: I've started forcing myself to turn them off as well, but I have to balance this with a problem I have in every-day conversation as well:

@deafblindmute: She's hunched forward, which increases the apparent size of her breasts.

@vorpal_raddish: ...no.

If they really wanted it to be a "teachable moment" they should have let you keep putting concussed players into the game until they suffered such severe injury that their motor skills and cognitive abilities were drastically reduced, recoverable only by several seasons' worth of therapy if at all.

@KindaGamey: Seriously, this is what i came here for. I would've been happy just seeing Noam Chomsky mentioned.

@psycoking: that and the fact that you'll be forever penalized just for breaking into the industry on anything other than a AAA blockbuster for your entire career.

@HungerSTGF: But you have to admire its manifold punship. I mean, wow. So many ways to interpret it!

There is no difference. They're actually two different pronunciations of the same word. Ninja is the on'yomi and Shinobi is the kun'yomi of the same kanji. (on'yomi is the 'chinese' pronunciation of a character, while kun'yomi is the 'Japanese' pronunciation).

Here you go, sir.
