It is interesting to see some of the World War One stuff and see the inspiration for some stuff in Middle Earth. Simbelmynë were plants in Middle Earth that grew almost exclusively on graves, which was most likely inspired by the poppies that grew on the graves of soldiers in World War One. Speaking of which,…

I live in Columbus, OH, which is the testing ground for most fast food limited time offers. We were the consumers that okayed the Doritos shell taco from Taco Bell, so you have us to thank for that. We had the test for the Mac Jr and Grande Mac not too long ago. I tried the Grande Mac, and it was way too sloppy to…

or take a look at Clay Matthews. His playmaking on D has earned him the flexibility to basically do whatever he wants on most plays.

Reminds me of the time that that Canadian chap with the world record for largest male organ was patted down at the airport by TSA and they thought for sure he was smuggling something in his underwear.

I have seen one of the Red Letter Media guys wearing that as a Christmas Sweater.

Technically the Bible says you aren't supposed to cook a baby goat in goat milk. It is Orthodox Jewish "fence laws" that go beyond the Bible that says that you can't mix meat and Dairy.

Are Gypsy still an acceptable target? because I hear people use the term "Gypped" sometimes.

So, while Mel Gibson is still persona non grata in Hollywood, Victor Salva still gets to make movies with kids in them…..

It is hard to believe that Shrek came out 15 years ago. It is quite amazing to see how far CG animation has come since then.

I guess Lyanna would be the Tsundere?

Is anyone else hoping that Dany will confront Jamie Lannister and just repeat: "Hello, my name is Daenerys Targaryen, you killed my father, prepare to die!" over and over again? Only to have Jamie get fed up, shout "Stop saying that!", offer her money and power, then have Dany shout "I want my father back you son of a…

Speaking of body parts detaching from bodies. I actually was reading wikipedia last night looking at the "trophy hunting" practice of American soldiers during the Pacific theatre of WWII, where instead of a trophy flag or trophy knife, they took trophy skulls and trophy bones. Almost unbelievable stuff.

While the "thing or human" mechanic had a iffy execution, I thought that the mechanics that the game nailed were the game's handling of being out in the cold. Trying to run around in a snowstorm with very limited visibility and trying not to freeze to death made me panic more than the paranoia of who to trust. Also,…

Now then, they got Johnny Depp to star in the Ed Wood Biopic. Who will play Uwe Boll for his biopic?

Another way Amnesia: The Dark Descent ratchets up the tension, is, oddly enough, with the instructional messages that pop up at appropriate times during the game. Some involve how to avoid getting attacked by monsters…except the game pops those up very early on in the game, with the first monster over an hour away.…

Apologies, I come more from an animation background. I have also been watching Steven Universe, which also puts its male lead front and center, and gets lauded a lot as well.

Just got done watching The Wire, actually, with an Irishman main character in a city that is 60% black.

Seitokai Yakuindomo was what came to mind in that you had an entirely all-female school trying to integrate men and only one single male student enrolled, with the guy being the butt of the jokes not with any physical slapstick humor, but more because the girls continue with raunchy female talk without caring that…

So, are we missing the fact that every other main character in the show will be female? Having a 90% female cast is something people are trumpeting as a triumph these days…

Agreed. I think Lagunitas does a great job giving balance and variety in their various ales.
