Didn’t she also proclaim herself to be “funnier than you (=men)” at one point?

Call me old-fashioned, but I much prefer the Tina Fey method (= going into a male-dominated space and proving you’re funnier by writing stuff that makes people laugh to the point of near-suffocation) to the one espoused by some feminist…

Pointless trivia: The game’s name is derived from Agar-Agar (or just “Agar”), which is a gel that you pour into Petri dishes for the cells/colonies to grow on. The more you know and all...

Oh, and Angela. I didn’t think it was possible for anyone to pair up one of the awesomest voices in anime with worse character designs than those of Hisashi Hirai, but then the Berserk-CGI-rejects from “Knights of Sidonia” proved me wrong.

Apparently there’s an official video featuring scenes from the anime:

Nah, that’s just a traditional good luck ritual for skiers in the Austrian Alps.

We call it “Geli-Raubaling”.

Israel has the curious problem of having a neighbour in Hamas that is all about the Jew-killing, but is so inept at it that any form of retaliatory strike is bound to look totally disproportionate.

Basically, Hamas is an 85-year-old methhead crazy-cat-lady that keeps throwing her diseased kittens at you. Sure, most of…

Yeah, whenever I get to customize my character, they’re usually non-white and/or female. Often both. And, for some reason, always gay whenever possible.
But from my Central European perspective, I never saw Geralt as “white”, but rather “Slavic” - I guess the closest equivalent to American eyes would be a Hispanic…

Awww c’mon, how was I supposed to know she was only 8? She told me she was 21 and just had a mutation that made her look a bit on the youngish side, I swear!

Nathalie Emmanuel (Daenerys’ handmaiden/translator Missandei) was a regular on a British soap opera named Hollyoaks, although I’ll always remember her from her guest appearance on Misfits, where her obituary included the words:

Indira Varma who plays Ellaria Sand (Oberyn Martell’s fuckbuddy) was the main character’s wife in HBO’s Rome

I remember my reaction when he showed up in The Raid 2: Berandal (note: I still have no idea what the fuck a “Berandal” actually is):
“Wait, I know that hobo! Is that Mad Dog? But didn’t he...? Prakoso? No, fuck you, that’s Mad Dog, I mean, he didn’t even change his hairstyle, are you freaking kidd-

I’m pretty sure the people calling Kiko Mizuhara (Mikasa) a “foreigner” are referring to the fact that she’s 50% Caucasian, not her being 50% Korean (I’m also guessing that a biracial Asian/White person still looks mostly white to them, in the same sense that Barack Obama and Halle Berry look “mostly black” to a white…

Maybe because this Kotaku, which is, you know, a gaming site?

As a Food Scientist, I sincerely thank you for mentioning Aspartame. It is truly baffling that people are avoiding it over some flimsy evidence that ingesting *extremely* high doses (way more than anyone would conceivably ingest, since 5 grams of Aspartame are as sweet as a kilogram of sugar) might be harmful for you,…

You can't get high on Prozac. Unless your defnition of "high" includes serotonin poisoning, which involves sweating, shaking, headaches, dangerous hyperthermia, extreme agitation and vomiting/shitting all over yourself.

Wait, what? You do know that the announcer has always been saying “Finish Her!” when you fought a female enemy?

If I remember correctly, Deus Ex: Invisible War actually used a hybrid of all 3 endings of the first Deus Ex, where you had the choice of either a) shutting off the Internet, plunging the world into a new Dark Age but also preventing anybody from achieving World Domination b) turn over control over the net to the…

I don’t know why everyone’s hating on the boss battles so much. I mean, sure, they weren’t exactly the high point of the game, but it’s not like the MGS series didn’t have it’s fair share of shitty boss fights.
