There was a heartbreaking article about the ivory trade in Nat Geo a few months back. It's become common for newly rich Chinese to buy tons of ivory as a status symbol. Plus, it's huge in the religious iconography market, which itself is HUGE. It's a really bad problem.

That's a nice straw man you've got there.

Probably both of you realize that there is nothing in life that is certain, i.e., you can never be sure that you won't break up, but is looking for validation and an assurance from the other that a break-up is not on the horizon. It definitely seems like a conflict between romanticism/pragmatism, and even though I…

What the....what? What possible reason could Serena have for commenting on this case? It's not even in the media anymore, it's like she was actively searching out an excuse to put her foot in her mouth.

Some of those re-natured urban shots remind me of Enslaved. Such a pretty game.

Listen, I love SotC and Ico, but in no way does an HD re-release deserve a spot on the "12 Best Games for PS3" list. Those are PS2 games. It's really that simple.

Yeah, I'm just glad the game is coming out at all. The end of Dreamfall was a ridiculous cliffhanger, and for a while I thought there would never be a sequel. Thank goodness for Kickstarter!

I think it's kind of sad that "female-friendly games" have come to mean "games where you customize your character". Sure it's nice to be able to choose to play as a woman if you want to, but those types of games by nature are lacking in the kind of story development that comes from having a defined protagonist.

If I made $10,000 a year, I'd be making a five figure salary too. Doesn't exactly paint these interns as stacked with cash.

What a weird game this was. I dug the art style (and it definitely changed from level to level) but the story was utterly impenetrable and basically at no point after the first level did I have any clue what the hell was going on. Also, battles took FOREVER and were super repetitive. I admit I'm a sucker for a pretty…

Crap. I really thought this was a hoax when it first appeared on the internet.

I luuuuurved FFIX as a kid. Loved it to death. It was the first JRPG I ever finished. I wept during the end cutscene.

I don't think so, unless you count the choice to wear a one-piece as an attempt to cover your belly.

Total number of hits for "beach body": 5,880,000.

Yes, as Tyrannosaurs says, they run quite small. However, they have a wide range of sizes, so if you go a couple sizes up you shouldn't have any trouble.

My solution? Don't wear a bikini.

Holy shit, 70% of Ethiopian brides are kidnapped?

Crap, you beat me to it.
