The breasts are larger than wow, that's for sure. I think they may have cracked the code.

PAX Cosplay papercraft! It's the only way to be *sure* they deserve it.

*hinting at....

Listen, those chemicals are narratively instructive. Just like in Bioshock, how the lightning bullets suggested a whole realm of technological advancements in chemo-electrical buildups in concussive reactions: hinting and zero point energy, and the very popular Z-pinch device.

...is... she holding a marital aid in her left hand?

@halo00to14: I've lived in japan and germany, and my personal impression is that Germans feel genuine guilt and mea culpa about the holocaust, whereas the japanese would rather sweep what they did under the rug—the extent that they are not taught in school about what happened.

They are way too sensitive about the bombs. At least in comparison to the horrifying things they perpetrated on china and, I suppose, on themselves, in pursuit of a war they knew they couldn't win by conventional means. So in that sense comparing it to the trade centers makes sense. People aren't rational about that,…

maybe I'm super-high, but i remember a low grade pork not-quite-ham slice that ended up on my okonomiyaki that was functionally bacon. Have you tried the deli counter?

@BlueGeek: Well, no, the term is both, it was coined in the west, as far as I know. In japan, art doesn't imitate life, and life does not imitate art.

@BlueGeek: well, a JRPG fits in my mind in the sense that Japanese art is not art imitating life imitating art. For the japanese the escapism is the idea that they'd let themselves imagine in the first place—not that imagination is a given and a resource to bring ideas back into some kind of existing setting. JRPGs…

I lived in Japan for 3 years. To consider creation a method for safety in a society that rigidly restricts and channels all behavior at all hours of the day—to the point that if you rebel, then there is an appropriate path in life and set of expectations which apply to you—thereby making your rebellion empty and…

So, to add redundancy—these are like castsequence macros in WoW. If I always prowl, then ravage, and then maul maul maul, I can write a macro to do it. Here, they have an interface element built to help automate what MMOs have spent time de-automating to give the illusion of interactivity since, allegedly, here, there…

I think a negative reaction to this piece is beyond silly unless you are pro iraqi war and feel that the war on terror is not only sane, but noble and heroic. Yes, space invaders *is* trivial, and primitive. That's the point. Not to make a statement that calls attention to triviality, but to disdain the idea that…

@Kuromimi: Jesus tapdancing christ. What is your malfunction? I mean, at this point, it's not just sane people advocating that this was something other than a realworld troll—there's a literal statement by the artist, who took the work *down*, voluntarily, that this wasn't about shock for its own sake, and, since it's…

@kojirodensetsu: We're a race?

Not frivolous enough. I demand a wiitote made from the finest alabaster flesh of the albino viper, chased in platinum, and emblazoned with herbacite crystals!

@OUberLord: in can you run through the comments looking for a 'yes, I agree' comment at some later date. Here I am. Agreeing.

@Loate: True on the premise that the unique gaming culture needs time to infiltrate the general populace, but I disagree with that premise.

@DugDawg: I'm not going to get into free speech territory here. I'm not saying shut up, I'm asking to stop being told to shut up by implication. From what I understood by your post, you think the triviality of space invaders makes for a dehumanizing statement. Dehumanizing influences are everywhere, especially in…

@Emiat: haha :D
