You can thank Family Guy for ushering in a wave of poorly written cartoons for dumb people.

I didn't care for it at first, either. Yes, rewatch it, and notice the details, stuff like the expanding nachos on the counter. It's a bit like Naked Gun in that regard, just a quieter version of it. It's an amusing film, but don't expect it to be hilarious the way something like Holy Grail may have been when you…

G.E. consolidated net earnings remained positive and had a gain in 2010, same with GE and GECS total equity. Less revenue earned in a previous year is not a loss on operating earnings which money earned still generates a positive over expenses. Saying G.E. lost several billion is misleading, because while the company…

G.E. is the obvious one, having paid no taxes on $14 billion in profits, but more aren't terribly hard to find. DuPont, Mattel, and dozens of other large corporations paid no taxes as well.

Yeah, I really don't get how the game skyrocketed in popularity as it did. It's a well made game, sure, but I just don't find it all that special. I think if the narrator doesn't wow you, then the game loses most of its appeal.

Those who receive the Force from Minichlorians...

"That's no moon..."

Yep, that's what these developers would be hedging their bets on, that there's enough of a fan base that will support a new release. Ya know, that new Space Quest fan project would be a perfect candidate for this sort of thing.

the US aint the only one that has had slaves throughout history,

Ted Danson thinks it's pretty swell, too.

Yep, this has me excited just for that reason. Then again, I wonder if indie developers will find it worth the hassle given now they have another company taking part of the revenue and what must be some extra effort in convincing the rights holder to grant permission for you to have at a game. I doubt we'll see…

Bionic Thumb is a pretty talented group, too, making it kinda sad to see this released under its name. I'm hoping it doesn't do well, and based on how it looks and plays, I don't think it will. Avatar games generally sold well in the past, and they still do OK, but I think the quality has stepped up in recent months…

I'm not thrilled by the position the game has taken, but I am impressed that XBLIG allows for topical console games such as these. That's pretty amazing, even if the results have yet to yield anything worth purchasing (Crisis in the Gulf, Game Type, and now this). It's tough to develop a worthwhile title on such a…

It's because the history of the US is tainted with slavery, where many white people owned black people, splitting up their families, denying them education and basic human rights, and torturing and killing them en masse as part of the slave trade and and life thereafter. The centuries of abuse is why it's not "just a…

It was reported a year ago on a few major sites including Kotaku but quickly went away. Rather surprised the story (if you can call it that) didn't have legs or that Notch never felt the need to apologize or offer some explanation. I guess he didn't think it was necessary given how compliant Minecraft players were…

Yep, that's more or less my attitude. The Yogscast fiasco seemed bizarre to me, because here is this group which has long supported your game and now working your convention for free, and he just insults and bans them for what looked to me to be no good reason. Nothing I've seen him say — granted most of it goes…

Non-sexual records I can hold with my penis = Not records worth holding

When correcting people, it generally helps to be correct.

It doesn't appear to be. That seems likely to have been the original message which Notch removed. The odd thing is that he again posted the message but censored the word, still leaving the meaning intact.
