Haha, that's amazing.

Haha, I picture a crowd of men all kind of milling about aimlessly, bumping into things, brows furrowed, while scantily-clad women try in vain to get their attention.

I would give anything to have sat in on the meeting where they hashed this video out, debated which points they were going to use, came up with the script. I bet it would have been hilarious.

"Girls and women LOSE - and so do the men all around us - when we fixate on bodies."

I think the religious conservatives are probably cool with this. A pregnant teen can be guilted and shamed into marriage. Once she's married, she can be guilted and shamed into staying married. And the church can swoop in and cultivate all the sexual and emotional repression - and the anxiety of being poor and…

Hardly surprising. The fashion industry is among the last places I'd look for humane, ethical behavior. They'd make coats out of newborn babies if they thought it would get them some wealth and prestige.

Can't wait to play this. All I remember of the original is wandering around a shadowy urban area, briefly catching glimpses of a couple aliens and then having my whole squad murdered. I'm hoping this new one is just as tough!

High five, medical science. Incredible!

Seriously. I get that people love gadgets, and I get that people feel loyal to the makers of their preferred gadgets. I even get that people like to argue and debate about gadgets. Nothing wrong with any of that.

Looked amazing, and the writing was pretty good. I'm unclear on exactly what was going on, though. How did turning that one robot save the world? Looks like they won, in the end, but that seemed mainly due to the robots being incredibly easy to kill.

Yep, I see what you're saying. A business that tries to change things up would pretty much just get screwed...they'd have to raise prices, and then the vast majority of consumers would just flock to a cheaper competitor, ultimately accomplishing nothing.

A reporter around here (Toronto, Canada) tested this out by locking his bike up in various public places and then stealing it by cutting the lock off with a hacksaw. Stood there and sawed away for five minutes or more in each location, and most of the time no one said anything. At worst, a transit employee came out of…

Seems like a difficult technique to put into practice, since odds are the lock won't be lying flat on a hard surface where you can firmly hold it in place and get several solid hits on it. I'd be more interested to see them try to do this to a bike that's actually locked up somewhere.

On the topic of the working conditions of workers overseas who make all our gadgets, I like the way Charles Duhigg phrased it on episode 460 of This American Life. (http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/460/retraction)

Bagel head just makes you look like an especially unimaginative Star Trek alien race.

Why can't you just be flattered that I want to stalk you!?!? Whyyyyyyyy?

It's creepy. How much does he know about her, based on that five minute conversation in which she gave him directions? What does he know about who she is, how she lives her life, the things she believes in? I'm guessing nothing. So what's his infatuation based on?

I didn't know people hated the ending of Half-Life. It's been a long time, but I think I liked it quite a bit. I recall a couple frustrating parts with moving platforms and air vents that launched you into the air, and blindly leaping around an area trying to figure where the hell I was supposed to go next, but other…

Could be creepy. But I dunno, the ol' slowly unravelling a sinister mystery thing? Scary face in all the photos/movies? Seems a bit cliche.

My first guess as well.
