Not for recording. I know of podcasts that use them as well.

I'd respond by telling you to rewatch Transformers 2, but I wouldn't wish that on an enemy.

Sure, but the acting was better.

Are you walking away from the explosion in slow motion?

Because we never get a good GL movie once a super-expensive one tanks. Any sequel will probably play it even more safe, make even less sense, and have a lower budget and worse special effects.

This is one of my favorite movies ever! The fact that the movie gets everything wrong is part of its charm, since everyone is SO... DAMNED... SERIOUS! about everything. It was like having the Royal Shakespeare Company act on high school play stages and sets. And oddly, everyone seems to be a bit more than a little…

Some people have PC gaming as their hobby. Other people have PC upgrading as their hobby, and the games are almost interactive benchmark software rather than the point of the exercise... which is fine! Your time and money, your business. I'm a hobbyist guitar player with like $8000 worth of gear. I'm not bashing…

Writing stories is hard. Let's let the artists screw around with costumes, sell it to the marketing and toy departments, and we'll write a story around THAT! It worked for the whole 'Secret Wars' deal!

Anything that automatically excludes women is something that any wise man should also avoid... which is why I'll not be buying, renting, or borrowing DNF. Lazy thinkers assume that things like this fail because women are prudes. People with a more full life experience know that women are at least as capable of lewd…

I find that more expensive sunglasses last longer and are less likely to be lost or left at a restaurant. More expensive shoes last longer and feel better on your feet. Nice watches... are just nice?

Dude...

This is just proof that religion makes even smart people look pretty foolish. Things that exist don't need fancy word games to cover up the complete lack of evidence for their existence.

I think maybe I just have more time,money, interests and relationships. When I was younger, I was a huge fan of 50+ hour RPGs. I also had very little money, lots of free time, and I was single. Now I'm married, much less free time, and tons of money with which to do other things. Add in the Internet and all of its…

I appreciated the alternate universe plot of J.J.'s 'Star Trek' reboot. It uses an SF trope to establish itself as its own thing, that can borrow from the original source and the spin-offs while maintaining an explicit and distinct existence that can't poop on the established legacy. The fact that they were aware…

You think that's bad? Look at the Bible! That god has his ass kicked by folks with iron chariots... and literally half of the world's population is stupid enough to believe in a god who is weak-in-the-knees in the face of steel horse-drawn carts.

Me too. It is going with me to Puerto Rico this summer for some snorkeling!

I thought the biggest problem with Bionic Woman is that the lead is British, and her acting consisted solely of her trying to maintain a consistent and consistently annoying whining American accent. I've seen the actress in other things, and she's fine in them when she's using her own accent.

I'm halfway to divorcing my wife over all of this "accent and funny costume" TV going on. Who would be stupid enough to think guys would watch it... let alone the insulting casual misandry of the term "boy fiction" that makes me want to kick this chick in the squishy. The whole thing is a giant swirl of sexism,…

Isn't this also the Republican deficit reduction plan?

I have more experience, and a dog and three cats who all shed constantly because I live in Florida and it is hot for almost the whole year. I've wrecked a bunch of $150-200 vacuums. I bought a DC-25 Animal a few years ago and I'm still using it twice a week. I got it for about $450, and it is the best $450 I've ever…
