I love that he snuck in a NetHack reference...

People need to take a more balanced look at this, in general. You're right: more resources and the potential ability to sell the finished product at a lower price are hugely important. But ever-increasing corporatism is always troubling, and there's something particularly pernicious about a small, uniquely-independent…

It's Mrs. Garrett, from The Facts of Life. Man, I get that it's a generational thing, but I'd think everyone would at least have heard of her via Family Guy...

How in holy hell could this thread have gone on this long without this happening??

You forgot the travesty that was this game. The best thing I can say for it is that it really drove home this lesson: never, ever, ever buy a game without reading at least one review first...

I guarantee that Grant Imahara knows the technical definition of a robot. There is a distinction between the colloquial and scientific definitions, and I'm sure it was a directorial decision not to have someone say "Well aaaaactually, because your device doesn't have sensory and processing apparatus and lacks…

There's also no "n" or "a" in "tenet," sir.

I love how it only gives you three choices for "How Matter Came into Being," two of which involve God, and one of which is illogical and incomplete. It's like saying "How did that puddle of water end up on the bathroom floor? Well, either an army of tiny, invisible ice nymphs emerged from the bathtub drain, got locked…

Well, you do use simple glass columns for some stuff — in molecular biology to purify DNA, for instance. But you're probably right.

I just think those specifics you are talking about are either exaggerated or established cliches that you find anywhere:

The electronic dance music is not appropriate for me either.

Why does everyone think that the Star Trek movies were ever anything but Star Warsy? I love Star Trek in all its incarnations (and Star Wars, for that matter - though in *fewer* of its incarnations), but the films are not the TV shows. The movies have been made with a broader more action-oriented audience in mind…

I thought KotOR was a lot better. Much of KotOR2 looked like it was written by a bright 14 year old without an editor — I was pretty disappointed by it.

If you wanna' get really nitpicky: I don't think it is a graduated cylinder. There don't appear to be any gradations..

Hear hear.

Meant to post this under another comment — Damn you, Gawker commenting system.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that you actually are American — non-Americans usually aren't so vocal about being annoyed by us. I bet you're American, and too young (late teens? Early twenties?) to know that "tedious and morose" does not always equate to "insightful and successful." In any case, that's…

I absolutely agree. The movie was insufferable.
