Heh after Naughty Dog told the publishers to keep their hands off the cover of the game because having Ellie didn't test well with their focus groups? And the fact the sequence playing as her in the winter is easily the best part of the game (the DLC also on that note), there's little of the DiD about Ellie beyond…

Nah Lightning falls into the trope of "super sexy killer that blows the sexist stereotype out of the water". You really can't win that one basically women in video games will either be considered in the DiD camp, or the ones who are all eye candy and killer moves such as Lightning, Chun-Li, Ayami, etc...

Well both his wives (one of which was purely intended for cover rather than being sought after) on screen died in attempts on his life. There's definite remorse at both deaths, and the death of the first girl in Goldfinger as well (which arguably was his fault as well), so I'd argue the revenge was motivated by…

You could argue his obsession with success is due to his relationship with his elder brother Mycroft, whom he admitted in the original stories was his superior in intellect. Having a notably more successful sibling can lead to a subconscious level need to prove yourself their equal even if you can't admit it to…

I think you nailed that one, a lot of psychological and neurological disorders exhibit an inability to comprehend normal social mores, morality or the lack there of was one of the key traits in the diagnosis of ADD and considered a trait of Autistic Spectrum Disorders at one point (this may have changed though, we've…

Over a century now. Even in his own time you and I both know Doyle was astounded by the backlash from the community after the "death" of Sherlock, so much so he had to invent a plausible reveal for the fact Holmes hadn't died in the struggle at the falls.

Misses several actually. He makes friends (who he doesn't manipulate), feels guilt, and honestly loved his wife (On Her Majesty's Secret Service). A big part of the continuing appearance of Blofeld as a nemesis was due to the latter pair, oh and a real desire for revenge for #3.

Actually more like Spock himself (who is only half Vulcan), trying to suppress emotion in favour of logic and reason.

I would say most people haven't truly read the majority of ACD's original stories so lack a real grounding in what the individuals portray, only seeing the external persona which is often overplayed in movies. I doubt even the original Moriarty would fit the full sociopath definition, and he's closer to the TV normal…

I would have to say you're very much correct. Sherlock and Mycroft have highly developed intellects which is a large part of why Sherlock turns to drugs between cases, they help ease the boredom that inflicts him during his inactivity. He's not even really obsessive compulsive which would make sense with such a high…

Australia's really not a lot better (when I was in high school a mother hit the news for refusing an abortion for her preteen daughter who was pregnant, "do the crime, do the time", sickened me even as a teenage boy). It doesn't really help that to get contraceptives can be difficult for that age group. My sister has…

Given the amount it went for it seems the listing was deliberately obtuse and intended to mislead. While definitely it pays to check everything carefully, many don't and these sort of listings have led to refunds before and sellers banned (it's often not a once off event either before their ban). I've seen it mostly…

LOL I can feel the joy of the PS4 owner. I only got mine Wednesday due to cancellations on preorders by other people. Been putting money towards it for months too.

Find any place the minimum wage isn't too low really. I figured out a while ago I'm better off as a single parent (two pre school boys), than I was working (slightly) on gross income. But the taxation rates need adjustments across the spectrum and the minimum wage is not a living wage either right now in Australia.…

Now if only my eldest would get past the "but I said please!" and crying to ask why I said no...

There's a good chance for a variety of reasons. Not everyone on crutches permanently is going to have paperwork to that effect. Also asking someone about their handicap can be a risky business and can get a discrimination lawsuit fired off at a company if the person takes offence (in fairness this is pretty rare…

Yeah it's called CYA - Cover Your Arse. They don't want a potential discrimination lawsuit on their doorstep. My father is missing half his foot so can't walk constantly in a scenario like that so it's not always so clean cut who is actually disabled.

Last I checked you didn't "earn" anything to be on those lines, you paid through the nose for the privilege of avoiding a strip and cavity search just to get to the counter. Not all of us fly regularly (1998-1999 for all my flights), so forking out for a "elite" card is not really effective. So stop being a pollock…

That and after you've drawn the breasts it's only a few extra lines to draw a penis anyway.

Funny I went to an all male secondary school myself for 6 years and if anything the students were about as homophobic as the RNC. Seriously, the guys in my class were way too bothered by things like male nudity.
