With a sprinkling of homophobia. Watch the part about the Wii bowling again...

It was just a little homophobic too, but I don't think most people noticed because it's subtle. Just watch the part where he's "bowling with his mom".

"However, I do think there's a distinction to be made between stigmatizing the diseases and disorders themselves and stigmatizing the people who have them."

Ian, I look forward to reading more of your work in the future. Thank you for this.

Staring at that checkerboard makes me feel funny.

Yep, I like video games because they can scratch any itch. Do I want to play something with fun and challenging mechanics? TETRIS baby! Do I want to dig into an immersive world and go exploring? That's what Skyrim is for, (it's certainly not for the mechanics). Do I want a laid back gaming experience with a lot of…

"The video games that are popular "only because of the story they tell" should not be popular;"

Wow this conversation has actually remained civil. Kudos Kotakus.

I think Freud put it best when he said, "Sometimes a penis is just a penis."

"As a guy who was shit on by most girls at my schools during my teenage years for liking video games, there is a legitimate dose of truth in that image."

The problem with CoD is they started making crappy mediocre sequels that still sold in huge numbers, which in turn has had…

I wouldn't say it's closer to the Manga, but the new dub is a more accurate translation of the film as it was produced in Japanese. I enjoy the original "bad" dub myself but I honestly can't attribute that to anything more than nostalgia, even though I want to say it has more "charm".

It's actually good, so I don't want to discourage you from watching it. I haven't had a chance to read much of the Manga but that has more to do with other things keep pushing that back (and the fact that I prefer to buy those kinds of things locally and the local shops have to charge more than Amazon meaning I'm…

*Disregard the first line, the headline has been fixed.

I think it would depend on the bike, how worn the tires are, and weather / street conditions. I would say it's possible, but only under very specific conditions, conditions that would make it additionally unsafe.
