I'll be straight with you: I was really conflicted over even writing this article. Is calling attention to Hatred's bullshit worth giving them more exposure, stoking the flames of a silly, manufactured non-troversy? I went back and forth on it for a while and decided that, yes, ultimately it is when a) my article is a…

Talos is a pre-existing figure of Greek mythology, and the android design is dissimilar enough for legal types from I, Robots, which was derivative of preceding designs anyhow.

This Marvel game is crass corporate cynical, mass-produced, design-by-committee, lowest-common-denominator garbage?

Stuff like this was used to gas soldiers in WWI. Do you mean to suggest the Tokyo subway sarin attack was a creative prank?

If anything, Ferguson, eekbola! GOP election campaings and Putin's minions fucking up badly are social injustice phenomena.

So... much... nostalgia... can't... feel... limbs... sentences... fragmented...

Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water, from the same man who gave us Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Oh, and the prevalently big eyes? Inspired by the standard Disney character template. So much for "bug-eyed Jap crap", I guess; cultural cross-pollination can be a bitch.

The endowed version of nurses was created for SH2 to reflect James' sexual repression caused by his wife's condition. They only made sense in this specific entry on the series and have since reduced to wank material.

Taste-challenged execs or marketing ploy? The answer is, as so often, probably both.

Except this isn't an MMO, but a survival horror game. What's titillation doing in a game about fear? Its very existence is an insult to the entire franchise. And it changes nothing about the fact it's still demeaning of women, especially since you can't turn off jiggle physics as well as wet clothing and a stripper…

It's as if Tecmo is at once commenting on sexual exploitation, while at the same time inviting players to participate in similar exploitation throughout the game in the name of fan service.

And because this project was just too interesting, ambitious, big, innovative and plain awesome (not to mention hard to implement as a result), they instead shat out the half-finished Destiny for a quick buck.

"Amazing awfulness" is how our sister site io9 described the pilot episode of CBS' new show Scorpion, which is ostensibly about a team of hackers who help the Department of Homeland Security. (At least it's not the NSA.) But the pilot's amazingly awful chase scene is even dumber than we all realized.

Yeah, it was not hard to see the dev team wove some experiences in.

Ah, that's some A-grade corporate BS right here. Big Man at the Top Pitchford wants to micromanage company newspeak. Par for the course for a wannabe celebrity CEO, I guess.

Work e-mails are, well, part of the work sphere and ultimately the public sphere. Stuff like this is strictly something for your private life.

Nope, can't recall any of this. People should finally realize social media presence is just one big PR ploy.

Uh, cyberpunk's seminal novel is usually considered to be Neuromancer, and that's from 1984. Snow Crash came out at about the tail end of the cyberpunk wave, when the genre started to eat itself up, and is seen as pretty much the last good thing that came out of it. So much for innovative and groundbreaking.

Small wonder, he's a celebrity author and not a random nobody who can just vanish from the face of the Earth to flee his failures or pull off a scam, like many other Kickstarter guys are. He has a reputation to lose.
