I wish they would cut out the bullshit made-up backstories. Seriously, they feed those “inspiring” backstories to people and won’t let in someone who aces the course but won’t regurgitate their reality show crap in a convincing fashion. Thank god for DVRs, which turns 3 hours of horseshit into 30 minutes of quality…

Gah! Way to spoil the spoiler by telling us the spoiler wasn’t a spoiler!
But he didn’t argue based that this was his opinion. His argument was that video games “by definition” and “in principle” can never be art. People who disagreed didn’t just have a different opinion: they were either “wrong”, “foolish”, or “misguided”. Examples of video games as art were “pathetic”. I think the crux of…
Let me just say that no video gamer now living will survive long enough to experience the medium as an art form.
When talking about movies, yes. Outside of movies...well his curmudgeonly insistence that video games can never be Art in the way that movies are seemed backward at the time and completely idiotic now. We’ve all got our blind spots and prejudices I suppose.
The idea of “light side” or “dark side” powers is dumb. Luke has no problem force-choking Jabba’s guards in RotJ. There is only one Force.
Darmok is a terrible episode, rescued from the dung heap by Patrick Stewart’s awesome acting. The alien language is so stupid it overrides everything else. Oh we only talk using pop culture shorthand references. What the fuck do their technical manuals look like?
Oh man I forgot about the whole Naval Academy thing until you reminded me. They actually said he graduated from Annapolis at age 19, which is flat-out impossible. 17 is the minimum age for admission, and it takes 4 years. You can’t test out or graduate early. There’s literally no way to graduate from the Naval Academy…
Lando has always been jealous of Han’s look, which is why he’s wearing Han’s clothes at the end of Empire.
Short answer: no, Chandra or Hubble would not let you image surface features. Longer answer: Chandra is an X-ray telescope with relatively low resolution. Hubble has a fairly small aperture (the size of the primary mirror), which sets an upper physical limit on the resolving power of the telescope. The advantage of…
Which uhh...which of those words do you think is glamorous or sexy? I mean “extremely” does have “extreme” in it, but this isn’t the 90's.
Please tell me they at least got LL Cool J to write another theme song in which he compares himself to a shark’s fin.
Because the oldest human remains are found in Africa? “the region” in that quote is referring to the Arabian Peninsula, which is the first place humans would have settled upon leaving Africa. Dating the earliest remains in the Arabian Peninsula sets the timeline for that migration, not the timeline for the emergence…
It’s hilarious that you think Lucas had any sort of plan. He didn’t even plan for Vader to be Luke’s dad.
about 1,000 people for every 1 million people
Because it’s trivial to block RFID signals.
Well the checkout line is the absolute worst part of the grocery shopping experience, so any store that lets me skip that will get my business.
Look at the dork-ass layup my man throws in after successfully pulling off that move.
Not downplay the serious and real fear people felt, but this....
