It's not just a States thing, either. If anything that particular slur is bigger in Europe. Look at Cecile Kyenge, or any of the black Soccer players who get pelted with bananas by their own fans.

Pretty good. Solforge is better.

Depends on the jurisdiction. In Florida, for instance, a part of the SYG law is that if you have reason to believe that unlawful activity is imminent (for instance, someone threatening to rape you to your face), preemptive nonlethal force is legal.

Yep! Actions have consequences, and crying "coddling" just means the crier can't handle that fact.

While it does work, the multi-week waiting time is simply unreasonable. If they cannot resolve a matter in days, they need more employees, not just for the sake of the people reporting, but for the efficacy of the punishment. If a kid's stupid enough to threaten to rape people over Xbox Live, then I highly doubt he'd…

In the real world, when someone says something like this, they rightfully get punched in the face, or they get a visit from the cops for the threat. Unfortunately, since this is online, the report is the closest equivalent she could get. If you think that's coddling, then I imagine you're one of those kids who doesn't…

In my humble opinion, the phrase "in my humble opinion" is one of the most pretentious phrases in the English language.

From another post, here's where they leaked it: http://www.forbes.com/sites/jasoneva…

Yeah! And you know what else is annoying? The stupid real gun names in Call of Duty! How is my feeble little mind supposed to figure out which is which? They should all just be called boomsticks! How dare these developers confuse me by sticking to their setting!

Well, I suppose someone needed to, given that your American counterparts aren't outraged.

Fair enough. I'm guessing the kids are pretty young. The Doras/Diegos/DisneyJr/PBS stuff are great for younger kids, but there'll inevitably come a time when the dullness sets in.

I suppose. I've never heard of moral and educational value in a children's show being separate, but it's fair. But given that, the argument is still pretty ridiculous.

There's clearly no point to arguing with you. I'd just like to point out that, when you're making a list of three reasons, having two of those reasons directly contradict each other takes some real skill. Bravo!

Oh dear god, that demo was awful. It put me off of Vesperia for a good six months. Then I actually picked it up, and it knocked Symphonia out of my best Tales spot.

Nier's another good stand-out. And it's a good study on the teen characters: here in America, they only released the version with the grizzled old father main character. In Japan, there was a version where the main character was entirely replaced by a far more animeified teen. The teen characters are, in large part,…

Interesting. I love both Gravity Falls and AT, but never got interested in any Cow and Chicken.

That was my initial reaction. Jake does still have the odd Matt Groening mouth structure, though.

To quote a recent Adventure Time episode:

Might I recommend "Roswell that Ends Well", season 3, episode 19? It's widely billed as one of the greatest all-time Futurama episodes, even before it won an Emmy. The early episodes you mentioned are a lot more hit and miss than the ones where they'd hit their stride, and it's about as good a gauge as you'd get for…

He's a durned communist!
