I'm aware, yeah, and I even know that not all public radio or television in the states fits neatly into those two boxes what with rebroadcast content from Canada and the States, and third party content provides like PRI and APM!

I'm gonna go ahead and say that any of these shows would be better than 90% of what's actually on that station.

Yeah there's a huge ugly classist undercurrent to the whole campaign and IMO it all really comes down to not wanting to see members of lower socioeconomic classes on TV.

To be fair, they run the top show in US public radio. I'd be smug too.

I know this is an old post, but you don't have amnesia. It's never said that you have amnesia at any point because you don't have amnesia. The player character is a blank slate, but that doesn't mean that he or she doesn't have any memories. The entire point is that you're a stranger to the mojave who could be pretty…

The Dauphin is even dumber though because he's appealing to an even stupider set of cultural myths -and- reinforcing the notion that the Liberal Party's agenda should consist of being the Liberal Party.

Reminder that
- Jamie Oliver is a posh twat who still doesn't really seem to grasp cooking for a budget
- Most of his recommendations (Like the shit during his weird pass-it-on cookery thing) are completely untenable for the British working class
- He's part of the burgeoning Reality TV "Yell Me Better" movement
-…

I disagree
Honestly? The Gallaghers treating the con as a game and reflexively cheating… I think that that makes a lot more sense and is a lot more interesting than you give it credit for being. Don't forget, other than Fiona they're still children. Even Lip is what, sixteen?

Yup. It came out in March. As for the VA, the actors (including Kerry Shale, who's been acting for thirty years, appeared on the west end stage, etc) insist that they were told to put on hokey accents and have awkward delivery because the game is supposed to be a goofy B-Movie Parody.

@bkbroiler
The problem isn't just that the story is stupid, and by the same token it's not just that the gameplay is bad. Just Cause has a stupid story but it takes stupid and runs with it. Deus Ex has a stupid story and it distracts you from it by making the game actually about Asshole Physics and exploration. Mass…

ME2
So now being an incompetent, janky shooter and a mediocre roleplaying game that mistakes rape for depth is enough to not only be on a list of of top games of the year, but at number one.

I'm pretty sure Moffat was doing that kind of thing on Who first, There were a couple of scenes in Series five that revolved around visualizing the Doctor's deductive processes in cool ways, most notably the one in The Eleventh Hour that they did with an SLR and everyone trying to be really still.

China Mieville comes to mind as someone much, much better than Martin.

@Arsenio: It should be the opposite, really. Thursdays are a better place for shows with strong followings since it's the most expensive night of the week IIRC (high viewership numbers heading into the weekend, whereas viewers plummet on Fridays).

The Real Problem with Glee
Is that it's got no bite anymore. It's hyper-earnest, rather than tinged with the same kind of bitterness as the first half of the first season. What VanDerWerff brings up about Will is an example of this. Because the bitterness is gone, because it's no longer a show that dwells on Will's…

Haven't picked up the game yet
But honestly it makes me kind of sad to think of how many kids don't actually get a chance at a 'real' halloween anymore. My boyfriend and I were in the supermarket the other day and we had this huge discussion about whether or not we should buy halloween candy since all of the kids on…

Ending Slides
The single best thing about New Vegas is the way it reverts to Ending Slides. Yeah, it has a distinct and final ending with no play after it, but on the other hand you get a pretty good look at what happens with each town and faction you had significant involvement with. It doesn't just give the game…

@Raging Bear:
Conversations with grunts on either side are generally kind of shitty, yeah, but they're just grunts so fuck 'em. Conversations with real characters tend to be more engaging.

@Dired: If you think Kreia was the villain, you didn't get KOTOR 2. You were the villain, seeing as you prolonged that multi-millennial war that she was trying to stop. NWN was kind of shit though, but MotB more than made up for it.

I think he said that he was touched by a Priest, but he's OK now.
