Stupid, yes. Villainous? No. Pretty much all of the world leaders who got involved were in the stupid category.

Yeah, I don't see a major studio taking a risk on that kind of project.

That makes a lot of sense. Games set in WWII often focus on the "glory" of war, while a game set in WWI would by necessity have to focus on the dire costs and horrors of war. Done right, this could actually be an incredibly powerful, emotionally-wrenching experience. It would probably be less about victory than…

The fact is, though, that Kaiser Wilhelm wasn't really a villain any more than any of the other leaders that got drawn into the fight. The only reason that we even hang the "villain hat" on Wilhelm's head is that his side "lost," and was forced to foot the bill for reconstruction. By the end of the war, all the…

Given that the defensive line in general has been a major question mark, and Besler was an available target of opportunity who has actually been pretty decent, it would make sense.

It was an irrational love for Batman combined with an equally irrational hatred of Ben Affleck.

"They take care of their cats," says Doug Bond, an offensive lineman from 2002 to '04.

I believe "people who use electronics in movies" count as "people who talk in the theater." As a wise shepherd once taught us, there is a special Hell reserved for these people, and child molesters.

What do the stats say regarding short throws versus long throws in terms of goal production?

With the evolution of the playmaking winger as the primary creative force in modern soccer teams, where will it go next?

It's a major headache for the people at Lucasfilm charged with maintaining continuity, as illustrated by this article about Leland Chee.

While Mark Millar is most certainly a loon, he is also capable of coming up with awesome stories from time to time. Red Son is one of those stories.

Actually, the EU is all Canon, but it's a lesser strata. It's considered canonical until it is outright contradicted by something on screen. This means that everything from the Glove of Darth Vader to the New Jedi Order are canonical, except insofar as they are contradicted by the films and the Clone Wars animated…

How dare you leave out the part where Sam got a dog? THAT WAS IMPORTANT INFORMATION RELEVANT TO POTENTIAL VIEWER EXPERIENCE.

For a long time, I supported US Soccer out of obligation. It was my country, so I kind of had to watch them play, though I would constantly be itching to switch over to watch Germany or Spain or Brazil play. When Klinsmann came on board, I got excited for the first time. The early going was rocky, but watching this…

That would be awesome, but it would never happen on network television.

The problem is that budget and quality are separate axes. You can have high-budget, high-quality films, and high-budget, low-quality films. You can also have low-budget, low-quality films, and low-budget, high-quality films. It really all boils down to how the money is spent. Of course, the more you spend on…

Yeah, it got to the point where the writers would have characters do random things for no apparent reason because they thought it meant the characters had layers.

Another person for the League: Harry Dresden. 'Nuff said.
