You do realize we're talking about the OPTION to create a gay relationship, right..? No one is trying to force you into playing as a gay character. If, on the other hand, what you're so butt hurt about is having to acknowledge that gay people exist via a single in-game option of whether or not you want your avatar to…

I think the people saying, "how is this worse than pushing a child out the window?" are missing a big part of what makes Jaime Lannister tick (at least how he is portrayed in the book, where we have the added benefit of seeing his inner monologue). Jaime pushed Bran out the window because Bran was a clear threat to…

Add to that the iron bank is known to topple governments that default, so it's not outside the realm of possibility that they would hire a faceless man (ahem, or woman) to kill Tommen- particularly one that already knows the layout of the red keep...

Regarding Jon Snow and his oath to the wall-

BOOK 5 SPOILERS!!

Jon is stabbed (presumably to death) by a crowd rebellious Night's Watchmen. There are four possibilities for him in Book 6:

1. He's not dead, and somehow makes a full recovery.

Can I throw down some theory bombs? Because I really think I have a strong contender for what happened regarding R+L=J (and stick with me here, I know it's long, but I think it's pretty damn solid).

To begin with, I need to go over some back story. Rhaegar was obsessed with the prophecy of the prince that was…

The thing I really like about this show, is that you get the sense that the writers are incredibly gifted and have been working on an overarching plot that spans the entire series, by design. Many shows have "claimed" to do this- off the top of my head I'm thinking LOST and Battlestar Galactica, but in the end it…

Not necessarily... which is probably why Walt looks so tired.

I gotta say, I think you're seeing Natty Ice and The Beast through rose tinted glasses. Go back and try them now, and you'll realize they should be MUCH further down your list. I got some Natty Ice a few months back in an ill-conceived nostalgia trip back to college, and it made me want to die... and there's nothing…

You're misremembering. The last part of Cat 's chapter is Rob being stabbed through the heart by Roose Bolton, at which point she saws the retarded grandson's head almost all the way off, and loses her mind. She describes crows attacking her face, which we later learn was actually her involuntarily tearing at her own…

In the books you definitely get a better sense of his inner monologue, since he is a point of view character- and even when he thinks back on attempting to kill Bran Stark he's very methodical and emotionless about the whole thing. To him, it was the simple decision between killing Bran or having the woman he loves…

There was a time when a troll like you might have gotten under my skin- but then I remember that you're just an emotionally stunted man-child living in your mother's basement, and it doesn't seem fair to engage you anymore... But feel free to come back when you can contribute to the conversation.

I agree that it's not fair to equivocate balls to boobs, but there really isn't a great male equivalent for breasts in this argument, so that was the next best thing.

In regards to your random thoughts:

A- I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this. I haven't played or seen anything about this game beyond the preview, so trying to debate whether it is satirical in nature or serious is at this point premature.

B- I say "alienating 50% of the population" because 50% (actually…

Your rationale is that the hero/damsel archetype has been done a million times before, so why not one more time. Got it. What I'm saying is, when you do that, you alienate female gamers from taking your game seriously (and provide yet another example of why the game industry is hostile to women in general). But I'm…

No, I'm well aware that the entire art style is hyper-exaggeration... though I'm not seeing how there is precedence for hyper-sexualizing the female characters, and keeping the all the male characters as hyper masculine fantasies. I mean, look at this picture:

Is it possible that the cartoonist and the writer disagree with each other? Does the comic come across differently than they originally intended? Either is possible. It still doesn't change the fact that ultimately the comic reverses the role of sexual objectification, and if you pay attention to your own gut…

Yes, it would be hilarious- but that's not the creator's intent. I doubt he created Juggsy the witch and Ba-donk-a-donk the amazon as comic relief in an otherwise serious game. He created them as warped fantasies of women, and paid very little attention to how it might alienate 50% of the population who will in all…

Once again, Penny Arcade does a wonderful job of flipping the issue on it's head:

Now, imagine the warrior in that last panel was an actual, playable character. Pretty bizarre, no? Why does the character need to have such pendulous cock and balls? Wouldn't they be cumbersome…

Yeah... well, *I'm* certainly savvy enough to know what ebay and paypal skim off the top, and it CERTAINLY isn't 15-20%. Nice try. The ebay "Final Value Fee" for a video game auction that netted $14,000 is $250 (or 1.8%), plus the paypal transaction fee, which is 2.9% + $.30, giving you a grand total of 4.7%

Here are…
