I was really hoping to see these guys somewhere in the background at least.

You kid, but a Gacy is worth more.

"underscore Doctor's guild because it's the ordinary people dieting this time instead of the Council."

The "holographic archery fight" has me really looking forward to the 3rd movie. Up until now we really havn't seen Kat cut loose. In the first movie she basically uses the bow as a utility, and outside of the first 5 minutes in the games it's the same this time around. That scene, however, I think perfectly showed…

Yes, because the situation we put felons in now (at say 20-30 years into an expected lifespan of 70-90) isn't bad enough, let's give them two hundred fucking years of it.

Wow, way to oversimplify a situation. A (presumably) 19yo guy being unprepared to handle an unexpected pregnancy and having the biological ability to run away (like a douche) does not mean that you can presume that the same individual would be incapable of dealing with it 5-10 years later (let along if you bring…

One of my cats has a more...energetic way of opening the hallway door. She learned that if she ran down the stair and bounced off the opposite wall she'd have enough force to knock it open. Damn does she ever like to make noise.

Funny fact: I recently learned that Taft and I are blood relations on the part of one of his grandparents. It's funny because he's always been one of my favorite presidents (not the best, but certainly interesting). There's more research to do, but presumably some of my recent ancestors knew him through family…

That's ok.

I'd left the country before the current crisis, and while that had no influence on the decision, the writing has been on the wall for some time now. I wouldn't fault anyone abandoning the states; the human race has a long, long history of moving from weaker countries to stronger ones. That said, I do intend to do…

Ecomics in general have horrible, horrible formats. To all the comic publishers out there: Just put a comic online. Tall rectangular page full of static images and text. A whole lotta people don't like this "click, blob of text, click, something moved, click, blob of text" thing you keep doing. You know what that…

I had one right when MP3 players were becoming a blip on the market. You had three choices: a cd player, a cd player that could play MP3s, and minidisk players. The latter two had obvious benefits, but the MP3-capable players were far too cumbersome; there was no way to navigate the files quickly enough. Also,…

Exactly.

Just because people would like to argue something doesn't make it true. "Improbable Medical Drama" =/= Science Fiction.

IMHO, correct. "Gravity" is Fiction (and Suspense, whatever), but it is not Science Fiction. Anything that adheres to the knowledge, history, laws of physics and is otherwise "set in exactly the same reality as our own" (with the obvious leeway on the individuals that populate said reality) is not Science Fiction.…

Yes, because clearly the best way to manage your life and finances is with... terror, fear and dread?

Exactly with you. My last build was an 8-core AMD system with two AMD graphics cards. It blew i7 systems out of the water. My upcoming build is a dual-socket Intel board with a pair of Titan cards. It will be my new workstation baby.

sad that sake has such a short shelf life that there's almost no way anything in those tunnels would have been pleasant to drink.

This is my problem with this being made into a movie: it's almost inevitable that there'll be some kind of "cure", because no producer is going to think that people want to go and see people with mutant-herpes walk off into the sunset.

Exactly. I don't have a thing against redesigns in general, but this "every few weeks stuff gets shuffled around the page" thing is getting really, really old. The current one seems even more counter-intuitive by placing the site name (kotaku, whatever) a section below other aspects. Seems to be breaking a pretty…
