I'd far rather have a full remake of Xenogears with gameplay improvements and a finished second disk.

If you don't get it, you don't get it. That's fine. That mode wasn't made for you.

It is so deeply fucked up that people can see what happened to Sarkeesian and respond by lamenting how the situation is preventing them from objectively explaining how she is wrong.

Love love love both Meer and Hale. There's not much either of them can't do.

Hey, knock yourself out. As long as you don't denigrate others' choices (and you're getting kinda close by implying that women can't also lead extraordinary lives), it's your game to play as much as anybody's.

The fact that an sf or fantasy novel in the 90s could get away with a gay theme does not mean it was a gay-friendly time compared with the present day. Take it from someone who was actually gay back then.

This period was the bottom of the U-shaped curve in gay representation on TV: Hollywood started with gay men because they don't think about women unless they have to, then switched to lesbians once it became clear that audiences had less of a problem with them, then back to gay men once people had gotten over it.

Well, given that gay people have historically had to remain silent about our identities, acknowledgement is kind of important. A nod and a wink can only get us so far; at some point it becomes distressingly evident that we are not being included in ways that the general audience will notice.

Aside: since I'm not much of a TV watcher, it always takes me a couple of minutes to remember which one's Torchwood, which one's Deadwood, and which one's Everwood. Which leads to some confusing mental images.

It's an offshoot of misogyny. Many people are horrified that a man would want to put himself in the position of a woman, but less bothered that a woman would want to put herself in the position of a man (if not exactly cool with it).

So you're asking for gay-inclusive content to be explicitly labeled as such, because readers cannot reasonably be expected to encounter it in the course of a novel without their enjoyment being ruined, and this is not their fault but the author's responsibility?

Well, humorless. B5 did the grimdark very well on multiple occasions.

The B5/BPrime idea was absurdly impractical. Did JMS actually think he could run a series for five years and immediately start another with much of the same cast? Anyone willing to stick around would have demanded a lot more money.

After filming five episodes, TNT stuck its head in and demanded some changes, among them new costumes and a new first episode (the original began the series in media res). An episode was shot to explain the uniform change so they could air the original five midseason; another was written to explain the switch back,…

I loved B5 dearly when it was on the air, but the one-off movies demonstrated pretty well that the show's greatness was in the scope of the undertaking. Rebooting the entire thing, and putting the onus of universe- and character-building entirely on a two hour movie rather than an ongoing series, is unlikely to pan…

You have a strange definition of "punishment." People who are unable or unwilling to pre-order will eventually have the option to buy the core game used (for far less) and the extras a la carte (eventually, if they want them).

This is well-intentioned, but having a positive attitude about your body isn't a switch everyone can just flip on when needed. Some people really do need to work up a little nerve to hit the gym.

Buser might not have been authorized at the time to give a less equivocal answer to a potentially thorny question. Obviously they realized that they would need to address the matter immediately and came back today with something slightly more informative. It may be bizarre in a sense, but it's pretty standard…

The downside of that is that they need more money and can't always get the backers (cf. Jeremy Blaustein's unfortunately failed effort from a few months back).
