Though he didn't do much in the movie, that was largely because his role was recast at the last minute when Eddie Murphy couldn't commit. He was intended to have more lines, but they were largely improvisational and while Ernie Hudson is a good actor, he's not so good at that.

I too was once seduced by the fedora/trilby, but then I realized I looked silly. I did some research on what type of hat I'd need to fit my long face, broad shoulders, and skinny frame. Turns out I'd need something along the lines of a gambler or plantation hat, and those are even more expensive than good fedoras.…

Because people who wear fedoras often do so because they believe it gives them a degree of retro class, likely grown out of the pick up artist subculture and their obsession with clothes. They desire that because they associate the fedora with the "good old days" where men were men and women knew their place. They…

I refuse to accept your refusal to accept my refusal to accept your refusal to speak to me!

When I was in the army, one time we were basically put on lockdown until we ALL finished these online training courses. These online training courses that chose that day to go down, and our commander just said "keep trying, fax me the certificates when you're all done." I saved the day by taking the one certificate…

Oh, but they had their terrible aspect. How easily we forget the death grind sound.

As in all things, there's a relevant Mark Twain quote:

I do believe it. When I play MMOs, I tend to play female characters and engage in light roleplaying. When I do so, I try to be as convincing as possible, mainly by using more feminine word choice in writing and, if voice chat is necessary, using a voice modifier. I have been harassed before, sometimes in just bizarre…

You have every right to be annoyed. I didn't say that you don't, did I? I know I sometimes come off as pompous given that my posts tend to turn into dissertations, but I am here to learn. I feel that part of that learning (for me at least) is to put out all of my opinions—even those that are likely to get me publicly…

If you carve a cross into an apple, can it keep away both doctors and Dracula?

I've found that most conservative thought comes from acceptance of two contradictory positions without cognitive dissonance. They believe that fetus is a child, and that every child is a precious gift that must be protected. They also believe that promiscuity is bad, and that having to care for a child while…

Who said I was lecturing women? I'm just putting my thoughts out, and honestly I feel like my comments are more targeted to men who say "Well, I'd never do that!" I feel like I must not be communicating very well, then.

Video evidence that he's a douche off camera, particularly when slamming PBR before it was cool:

It is, but it's become a negatively loaded term basically meaning "Trolling." That's not my intent at all. I believe that the best way to reduce crime and violence in this world is to figure out why people, from their own perspectives, commit crimes, and work on changing that. In that way, trying to figure out why…

I have not read the post and so I do not know what he actually said. I recognize ignorance of the law is no excuse as well. However, I feel the need to be a little bit of a devil's advocate here and question if, perhaps, he really did NOT understand consent? In social psych, the fundamental attribution error is…

"What do you mean 'You people?'"

They still do novels...novellas, at least. The last couple sets had tie-in ebooks from Amazon. On the website there's also a column called "Uncharted Realms" which largely consists of short fiction by rotating authors, much of it quite excellent. This is a particular favorite of mine, focusing on the Rakdos guild: http…

Nah, him and that bear became bros after that.

I hope that the Nemesis system is a sign of things to come. They should even use this game as a tech demo and license the system to other companies.
