I think we are missing the point. These guys are getting together for a meeting because breakfast is awesome. Meanwhile, Lawrence Kasdan is looking for an excuse to hang out and eat breakfast with these guys, so he just says "hey guys, I need an excuse to try out a new omelette recipe, so I'm just going to make like…

I'm not gonna' lie. There was a little tear streaming down my cheek when Duke Silver took the stage. But I swear it is because I live next to an onion-processing plant.
It's the game design equivalent of forcing a disobedient child to go out back and pick out a switch. Not that my parents ever did that, but they told stories.
I think a large part of it has to do with the way the scene completely undoes all the character development Jaime has undergone over the course of the show, particularly over the course of season 3. Whatever else you could accuse Jaime of (and there are a great many things), at least he wasn't a rapist. Now? Not so…
Also, can we just talk a bit about how wonderful it is that Peter Gregory calls buns "breadings?"
Oh that ship had sailed by that point.
Plenty. Nanotech, human-machine interfacing, space exploration, high sorcery, interplanetary diplomacy, first contact scenarios, and plenty more. Those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. As to the things on the list, it's not that those things are "bad" or should never be written about, but…
Talent dilution was a larger concern in the early days, when teams largely obtained new talent through the superdraft, collecting college players. The difficulty with using colleges to develop new players was that, by the time they were seniors, the bulk of their good developmental years were already done, without…
It was a dark time in my life.
Of course. A short film warning about the dangers of drunk driving need not be anti-alcohol or anti-automobile, for that matter. For instance, in Fringe, we see Walter Bishop suffering for recklessly experimenting on the world around him without considering the effects of his experiments on those he cares about. The…
But really, are we that surprised? Silicon Valley has long been a haven of libertarian politics for some time. Look at a guy like Larry Ellison and tell me that that mofo doesn't see himself as the protagonist of an Ayn Rand novel. Go to any hacker convention, and you can't swing a dead baby without braining a Ron…
Exactly. In the English Premier League in soccer/football, actual English players represent just a fraction of the players on most teams. Because the league is one of the richest in the world, its teams can lure top players from all over the world to play for them. For instance, if you look at the leading scorers,…
English league != all teams composed of mostly English players.
It's like if field goals in football were worth 70 points apiece! 10 POINTS FOR FINGERBOXES!
Well, Hogwarts is the only wizarding school in England...but a sporting league can contain players from all over the world. In fact, I would imagine that, given that wizards represent a relatively small percentage of the national populations, and quidditch players representing a small percentage of that set, you'd…
Massive City are infamous for being generally shitty, though. They generally have a bone to pick any time a new team comes into the league, and want everybody to respect them, even though this year is the first time in five years they have been relevant. Hell, they almost blew up the American Outlaws over a scuffle…
Having been to a fair number of PAXs, though, the shift is a real thing. I first attended in '08. That year, the vast majority of booths featured playable demos, and most of the big publishers were giving out shirts to anyone who stopped by. Often times, the developers themselves would be there to walk you through the…
It's an opinion piece. The author makes that abundantly clear. This is the author laying his cards on the table. He says this is why he isn't going to PAX this year, not that you shouldn't go, either. Fact of the matter is that nobody is truly impartial and unbiased. That's just human nature. Anyone who says otherwise…
I remember this one! They never specifically named the company involved, but if it works, I wouldn't be surprised if any of the other major shippers followed this procedure as well.
