Not sure how I feel about this. The whole perk “tree” thing tends to be pretty in vogue these days, but part of the fun of Fallout for me was always creating oddball characters and part of that was possible because although there were base requirements, you weren’t necessarily locked in to a tree that you had to keep…

Yea, he was bettered later in his career by better boxers. It took him 5 years to be beaten. Rousey’s career is 4 years old. I have no problem hating the man or putting his entire career in context. But we’re comparing him to someone whose career is a lot younger and someone who is for practical purposes one year…

Not sure what you mean. Crushing as in dominating? He absolutely was. He was 37 - 0 before he was upset largely after his personal life and personality wrecked him. In the ring though? Yea, like Rousey he also had a tendancy to demolish people in the first 30 seconds to a minute. He was just too overpowering for his…

I’ll just stop you there: yes.

The headline isn’t associating it in any way that academic study hasn’t. Both childhood trauma AND bipolar (and it gets worse with comorbid diagnoses) have positive corrolations when it comes to future violent behavior. Does that mean those diseases are an unavoidable sentance? No. Does that mean they should be…

Interesting. Because I had the same impression with the original but two things for me were true. One, people hadn’t figured out what we’d eventually come to realize was an incredibly fast control scheme from the original Doom (which made almost everything feel like an Arena) which got exploited and maximized in…

I’d say yes. A bad set that follows you home is worse than anything Seinfeld and his ilk dealt with in their day. Yea, dealing with someone angry at a club or a small local group swearing you off isn’t good... but it’s a whole lot better than a retweet fest resulting in a mischaractarization of what a comic’s set may…

I’m not sure if you’re being disingenuous or not. Yea, the rest of the movie (especially most of the characters that were women) had problems in terms of script and execution. But that is not what blew up a vast majority of pop culture. Perhaps it was the lazy bloggers of pop culture that pointing out those individual…

I’m not sure this is a perfect answer, but those men already have a death sentence on them and they have already seen Stannis and Melisandre roast people before. The show is pretty clear in setting up that the loss of supplies coupled with the loss of the ability of the army to move means they will be dying of…

No, it’s fair enough. Contra for better or worse like a lot of games from that generation were contingent on pattern recognition, reaction, and memory. Those thousands of projectiles like most games (especially in those years) had a pattern and if you knew it and reacted perfectly you won. Dark Souls, AGAIN contains…

I think that’s true. But at the same time, I think the reason guys like Seinfeld or even Chris Rock who said something similar previously are talking about this is a vast majority of great television/film/comedy (especially) doesn’t come from people doing it for the first time. I think they see these young comics…

Honest Trailer’s basically just casts it as Sex and the City for dudes - a very specific flavor of escapism. And considering how much it made, obviously that 64% male audience is a pretty tiny sample of men in general.

I agree with Cashman’s point (the entire point of those milestones is the prestige it brings to the club which is entirely undone because of what A-Rod did) but from a legal standpoint he’s boned. Contract law is about what is written on the page that both parties signed. It is not based on the premise behind the…

It’s not really a fresh start though. We’re Rangers fans. We remember him beginning to be a bonehead again before he left. We’re not all entirely enthused that he’s back.

From a guy I don’t care about (Whitlock) to a site that seems to be committed to attacking him monthly, I commend you on successfully reaffirming my lack of caring.

I don’t necessarily disagree except you are an anonymous screen name telling the world on Jezebel or voluntarily telling your close friends. For better or worse, he’s his own brand that he maintains through his work, personal interactions, and what information about himself he discloses. That brand has upwards of…

Wait and see? What kind of fan are you?!

You're insisting something that's interpretation at best. No, there are no scenes in Starcraft I of those two macking, but Raynor spends an inordinate amount of time trying to save one person from New Gettysburg. For a lot of us, there really wasn't a retcon. The story was paying off the threads that were always…

Depends what your headcannon was I guess. Back when it came out, I always saw them as a pair. Mengsk's gambit with Kerrigan might have pissed of Raynor were they not together, but after seeing a multitude of people murdered already in that mission he sure goes ballistic in a hurry when Mengsk decides he's going to…

Be it not said that I like Justin Bieber, but aren't Oliver Broudy's complaints about Bieber the exact same complaints you could have about Taylor Swift? Hell, Beyonce had a hit song by the time she was 16 so I don't really see her filling out job apps.
