Halo: Reach is largely known as the story of the downfall of one of the most important human colonies following an overwhelming attack by non-human Covenant forces in the year 2552. It also constituted the near decimation of the entire existing SPARTAN super-soldier population, with the exception of Master Chief and a…

You mean you haven't watched Speed Grapher or Ergo Proxy? Well, what are you waiting for? Get on that, ASAP! ;)

Chess has acquired a high reputation as being a means to discipline the mind, because it requires a strong memory and peculiar powers of combination. It is also generally believed that skill in playing it affords evidence of a superior intellect. These opinions, we believe, are exceedingly erroneous. Napoleon the…

They screwed up with Valkyria Chronicles, too. That game only sold what, 100k copies? The only reason I even knew about it at all was because of its appearance at the Tokyo Game Show. Sega doesn't know how to market anything, and I say that as a former hardcore Sega fan.

WRYYYYYYYYYYYY

What's that thin trail of blood?! His torso looks like a draining cyst! Jesus Christ!

I like how he seemed more impressed than angry. I would be, too. Hahahaha.

Who else here remembers the glorious insanity of Rocket Crowbar?

Joke's on you. That is my fetish.

The closest I've come to anything resembling devotion to the series is when I cut Twilight Sparkle's cutie mark out of pieces of sheet steel on a bandsaw, welded it together and made a pendulum clock out of it. I had the cheesy Klockit quartz movement just sitting around, and some spare materials, and I figured "why…

What kind of show that's intended solely for kids would have scenes like this in it?

Very professional-looking production. I'm quite impressed, to say the least.

These days I mostly play Starmade and build insanely huge ships in it, like this one (link).

I have a Blu-ray burner in my PC and I use it to archive exceedingly large amounts of data. The media is a bit on the expensive side, but you can sometimes find the 30-packs on sale, and it can be more convenient than burning four or five DVDs worth of information.

When some Japanese speakers romanize certain words (especially loanwords), they have a tendency to mistakenly translate Rs into Ls, under the false assumption that just because every L becomes R when going from English > Japanese, the reverse must be true. This is why we end up with things like "Blandon" in the intro…

This ad is stupid. I mean, who doesn't like bourbon?

I think people these days, in their hyper-connected SIGNAL BOOST internet-based culture, think it's perfectly fine to sling mud at people on a recurring basis. At some point, you really have to consider the matter settled instead of making it your personal mission to remind others of someone's poor reputation at every…

To "put the fear of god into" someone is a figure of speech. Holy crap. Did the literacy level drop across the board or something? Is English your first language? Not to be rude or anything, but good grief. Was everyone on the internet this utterly incapable of registering sarcasm ten years ago? I think not.

This is absolutely mental. I mean, I live in Washington and I've met Marty before. It was the best day of my life. I do a little amateur composing work myself and this guy is my idol. He's been with Bungie for over twenty years, and they couldn't have just let him stay on long enough to retire? What the hell? This is…

Joke's on you. I'm an atheist.
