Scientific illiteracy, among the general public and among those we elect to lead us.

I think that's the reason, above all others (even the decline of the joystick), that the space combat genre went away. Why Wing Commander focused on presentation, not gameplay. Why Tie Fighter's sequel, X-Wing Alliance, is never mentioned in the same breath. Why we haven't seen any major space shooters in over a…

One word: Thrawn.

It isn't surprising to me that the racial faultlines in America are showing. Obama's presidency, whatever you think of his actual governing, has been hounded from the beginning by the opposition employing every single dogwhistle & piece of racebait they could come up with. Not just from the fringe, but from actual…

Everything.

The most obviously missing flashback is Ned's nebulous memories of the Tower of Joy. It's so important to the story but currently their rule has precluded them from showing it. If and when Howland Reed ever reveals the (presumably momentous) truth about what happened, the reaction from the TV audience is going to be…

How's that Connect Four script coming?

I just do what I can. Donate to game charities that help "non-privileged" people developing games, and by making sure my studio is split 50-50 male to female.

If you are coming to the comment section for reasonable discourse, stop. Turn back now.

The reason it's hard to forgive Lucas is because he keeps lying to me. "I always meant to have Greedo shoot first, I just filmed it badly." "I never said there would be nine / twelve movies." "I always meant to have Luke and Leia be brother and sister." (That's messed up, George.) "That story I've told a ton of…

6 characters, 8 cars and 16 tracks for $12 is DLC pricing done right.

Angrier about this celebrity death more than any one decade before or after.

Desired update:

Looks like they've completely lost any of the Star Trek/Alien vibe from Mass Effect 1 and gone full Halo. Who's impressesd by this nonsense? I feel bad for all the artists that waste their careers coming up with slight variations on the Robocop/Space Marine outfit. Does anybody look at these outfits and instantly say…

Yeah but is Jay Sherman in it?

That was dirty! But for my money the worst thing you can do to anybody playing Mario Kart is to hit them with a lightning bolt right before the biggest jump in Wario Stadium (Mario Kart 64 version). They'll instantly spin out, shrink in size, then fall to the section of track below. The course is so huge that it's…

I'd love to see a return to the Waverace series. Many a good time was spent catching waves and crashing into boats on the gamecube.
