@Fernando Jorge: You get a heart for mentioning Golden Axe :-)

@OutlawDominus: Please report to Jezebel for gender re-education.

@WolvenOne: The real struggle between conservatism and liberalism, has always been a disagreement on the role of government in our society.

@Nivenus: *slow clap*

You can extend this to all of fiction. Does enjoying Lord of the Rings mean that you have to endorse patrilineal monarchy and the idea that certain races are inherently noble while others are inherently evil? The world presented is fictional. That means that some basic things about that world are completely different…

@Char Aznable: On the other hand, the Red Faction series is often considered a "liberal" game, as you're fighting giant corporations and there are very obvious Socialist and Anarchist themes.

Oh, this one's easy. Streets of Rage for the win.

@BananaStandCEO: I think playing video games for so long has warped my brain, because I swear literally every dream I have functions in this way.

@Deadsider: I, however, am not.

@CutePuppyz: We've all fled for greener pastures. I think some of the Giz/Jezebel people set up something called yipyap, and most of the Gawker crowd including myself has gone over to crasstalk.com. Though I still check out Giz and Kotaku as long as the Canadian version keeps the old format.

Awesome. Now just take two of those and glue them on top of this thing to have nightmares for the rest of your life.

@Rev Slow: Nah, I think it just wasn't clear enough. I mean I've seen all the films, and I didn't get it either. "Targeting computer" is a pretty general thing that could apply to any sort of sci-fi/military setting, and Leia's buns just weren't big enough to be obvious. Plus, what the hell is that thing in the last…

But what about the deadly hentai virus that I got after clicking one of those popups?

Looks delicious.

Can you share some of your strategies for coming to terms with that? Commenting on Gawker isn't really doing it for me anymore.

Lil' Fission was the best part. I would buy his album, no questions asked.

Ok, generally I scoff at the Facebook=Big Brother alarmists, but... seriously? We're at the point now where a camera can capture an image of someone's face and immediately find whatever information they've put online? Splendid. I can't see any way this could possibly go wrong.

Video game-obsessed idol turned stripper? Iranian drug dealers? Fleeing to the Philippines? How has this not been made into a game yet?

I find "social gaming" offensive as a concept. Games were supposed to be my escape from social interaction, goddammit! If I wanted to talk to people, I'd *shudder* go outside, or something.

@delos: Text. Also, if I see that I have a missed call from someone, I call them back.
