No, this is much more like implanting a bomb in the hostages that only you know how to set off/disarm. Now the police know he can release this information easily, just by sharing the key. He's increasing his leverage, not decreasing it like he would by killing the hostages/releasing the information outright.

Another point against incest:

Super Smash Bros. U

Don't feel bad, Ali G's confused too.

It would be bad game design to force your character to take certain NPCs into his party; you have the option of pursuing your destiny solo, if that's the kind of character you want, or of creating a well-balanced party to go through the whole game with, or you can swap around constantly. It wouldn't make sense for an…

And there also are non-evil party members available at that point if that's what you're after. So yea, no one but yourself to blame if you found the start to difficult. Also, with a few sleep spells handy, 95% of early encounters are pretty easy, even solo.

But...but you do suck at RPGs if Baldur's Gate is too hard for you! Admittedly I'm playing the extended addition, so maybe the original was way harder, though I did play the original BG2 all the way through. My first go through of BG:EE actually felt pretty easy, as I stayed at 6 party members the whole game and…

The red wedding is focused pretty centrally on the shows most major themes, as it brings the focus directly on marriage, death and birth, the 3 major ways in which power is transferred, and thus the most important actions in the the series and it's eponymous game. Robb promised to marry a Frey, and thus to give them a…

"She has been the voice of reason for the entire series." Someone hasn't been paying attention. Catelyn is one of the worst decision makers in the series. Arresting Tyrion was perhaps her most stupid move politically, but leaving Bran/Winterfell was her worst showing as a mother.

I think when most people are talking about gay characters being overly defined by their gayness, they are not referring to the characters being too overtly attracted to men, but rather the character's personality being predominantly defined through gay personality stereotypes. While often a gay character's sex life is…

The biggest problem is how excited the guy is about it.

Yea, what the crap. I clicked expecting that the people freaking out were members of some form of Hufflepuff house/club, since, y'know, the title says pretty much exactly that. Gawker media has a long history of misleading article titles, but this is getting ridiculous, with totally unrelated/false facts being…

Donkey Kong will beat the shit out of you and take your bananas.

Subject-verb agreement problems:

Also, here's a non-motherly, powerful plus sized female celebrity:

Sure! Well, mostly just Roseanne and Kathy Bates...

For it to be sexist wouldn't it have to be caused by sex and not just being fat? Fat male celebrities are also not seen as sexy (or, usually, particularly smart). It's not a one dimensional way of looking at women, it's a one dimensional way of looking at fat people. Zach Galifianakis, Chris Farley and Kevin from the…
