I think it’s the fact that it’s so publicly visible. If you had a convention where everyone was wearing bondage gear while walking around a hotel and interacting with children, people would also react negatively to that. Maybe all of the furries aren’t into it for the sexual reasons, but the association makes a lot of…

Taris is mentioned in the new canon as being a planet that suffered some sort of cataclysm in the past and is now littered with ships and ruined buildings. It’s not exactly a confirmation of the Old Republic stories being canon, but given the fate of Taris in KoTOR 1, it seems like a good nod in that direction.

I like mine, but the screen is a bit small. Personally, I think the 2nd version of the Gameboy Advance SP (AGS-101) is the best way to play Gameboy games. It was quietly released after the Micro without any marketing or fanfare and basically features a larger version of the Micro’s backlit screen in an SP case.

His Disney Infinity action figure actually has a rough lightsaber blade in contrast with the other figures which have “clean” lightsabers. I think a few of the other figures have the rough blade too, you just don’t see a full-size depiction yet.

Store-bought fruitcakes are pretty bad, but homemade cakes can be quite good. I think part of the problem is the laws in regarding selling a cake soaked in enough alcohol that you could probably get drunk eating too much of it, leading store-bought cakes to replace it with something that doesn’t taste nearly as good.…

I agree. I played a bunch on the beta weekend and it seems like they’re on the verge of a great game. They just need a few tweaks and polish here and there. Hopefully, this break will give them the time they need to turn it from a really good game into an amazing game.

“This is a same generation upgrade, like when the PS3 and XB360 came out with Slim models.”

I’ve been playing since the beta 11 years ago. I’ve taken a few breaks, but I’ve played every expansion. People complain about this expansion, and their complaints are mostly valid. However, most of those complaints involve the end game. If you were to step in at level 1, having never played at all before, you’d…

In the US, it’s not out until October.

Sorry, I totally failed reading comprehension there. My bad. Carry on.

Playstation Now is a streaming service to your PS4, rather than just download and play on the system like PSN games on PS3 or Vita, so it has additional restrictions, like connection speed requirements that downloading a game to your PS3 or Vita doesn’t have.

I think that’s apples to oranges. If you look at smaller western comics (mostly published by indie labels like Image, Vertigo, or Dark Horse), like the Walking Dead, Y the Last Man, Saga, or American Vampire, they’re more like manga. They have a limited number of comics, typically by the same creative team, and have…

I think it will be a very long time before the official servers “go down”. EverQuest is still going after 16 years and it never had nearly the amount of WoW’s subscribers. As fewer people subscribe, maintaining the servers becomes a trivial expense compared to what it’s still making. I wouldn’t be surprised if WoW’s…

You’re correct, and OP is wrong. Blade first appeared in the animated series in a two-parter in Feb 1996. He later returned in another episode in 1997. The movie didn’t come out until August 1998. I also remember this because the animated series had been my main reference for the character prior to the movies coming…

This is how Bendis works. He writes an amazing setup and the most underwhelming climax possible. "Oh my god! Skrulls are masquerading as super heroes! Anyone could be a skrull! I bet Iron Man is a skrull!" Who was it in the end? A bunch of random people, like Jarvis and Black Bolt and Mockingbird. Really skrulls? You…

Those of us who live where we can get gigabit Internet buy them:

I think that's my frustration, rather than specifically the lack of a woman. This is Final Fantasy, I'm used to have a varied cast of characters in the party, men, women, monsters, magical beings, and robots, all with varied backgrounds, ages, and races. In this, we get four young white guys. I get what they're going…

Everyone has their favorites, so it's hard to give a blanket "start here" recommendation. Some people suggest going chronologically, but most suggest tackling a series at a time, as Discworld is a series made up of smaller sub-series and a few one off books. That being said, the usual suggestions for best first book…

I think they're calling them "idiotic" because they, like many of us, would gladly pay for the game if they could. Hell, I already bought it years ago, I just don't know where the disc is anymore. However, this idiotic company wasn't willing to just give the company the go ahead to do all the work so they could make…

There's probably a couple of other things at play here beyond what others have mentioned: First, this is just the goal, which they've nearly broken a short time into the campaign. They'll likely break the goal and use this modest goal as a starting point for stretch goals, like many successful campaigns have done in…
