I played all of the video games, ready many of the pulp sci-fi novels. And then this movie killed the franchise.

Lake Calhoun, one of the gems in Minneapolis's "Chain of Lakes," was named after John C. Calhoun, one of the nastiest American politicians of the 19th century. A true believer in the concept that all societies should be ruled by a self-chosen elite, he not only defended southern slavery, but thought it a wonderful…

Can we get a convoluted, tricky, complicated bad guy too? Star Wars has notable characters, but except for Vader all the villains have been one note stereotypes. Give me some one I can root for, while I detonate his ship with a proton torpedo!

It's a stark contrast to her usual looks.

This is the first place where I went:

Batman TAS was pretty damn awesome, but I've always been a fan of Terry McGinnis (and hope he's on his way to a live-action iteration soon):

For sheer story construction and character development. Ive never seen an animated series take one long form story and tell it as tightly and richly as this if at all. This quote from its Peabody award says it all. "The series is distinguished by multi-dimensional characters, unusually complicated personal…

I'll get this out of the way.

Shorter version, if you just want the list of the list of what she says are "Eight things developers can do to make games less shitty for women", paraphrased from my notes... not that a lot of this pertain to action games and probably make more sense if you're thinking about first and third-person shooters, the Arkham…

General Toussaint L'Ouverture, the "Black Napoleon" and the father of Haiti. Born a slave, he rose to become one of the greatest military geniuses of all time and spear headed a revolution that brought the institution of slavery to its knees in the Western Hemisphere. He wouldn't live to see independence but his…

Who else but Teddy Roosevelt?

Azad. Duh.

Gonna go with Azad, the game of emperors and anarchists. No greater strategy game can be seriously contemplated than one in which even your philosophical outlook and political beliefs have an effect on the outcome.

Not as bad as living in a country where the people get to choose how they are governed but still choose to be led by mendacious, dissembling shits.

Can you imagine just how awful it must be to live in a country where the state and media collude in a turd volcano of disinformation to trample the populace into a perpetual state of fear, ignorance and supplication!?

As the recipient of a bachelors in history that I didn't want (It's a long story.), I know someone here is going to alpha nerd me on this so, I'll stay out of it except to say that wildly inaccurate depictions of historical figures can be lots of fun. Check it out:

People from Minnesota not only don't eat this...but have no idea what the hell it is.
