Stupid, stupid study. What kind of books are they having them read? How would Beckett, Flann O’Brian, or de Sade fit into this? (I know they said novels -but Oedipus Rex, Cinderella, and Romeo and Juliet are not novels)

The Black Death proved highly beneficial to the peasant class in Europe (for those that survived anyway). Another large scale plague should definitely help out here again.

I’d feel accomplished that I inspired someone. That someone loved my work so much that they alluded to it in their own work would definitely be fulfilling. I've never had money anyway, so I'm used to living the way I do. But to inspire, to influence someone else. That would be something.

I’m surprised people are still pissed off over such a dated topic. Artists “steal” from other artists all the time. That’s what art is. That’s how culture is created. Unfortunately, our shitty capitalistic ideology is more concerned with where money is going. We side with corporations to strengthen copyright laws that…

No need to essentialize fatherhood here. I have a daughter and it still feels like a lame trope to me. Don't get me wrong, The Last of Us is one of the greatest games I've ever played, and has of the best narratives FOR A VIDEO GAME. But standing on its own its pretty eh...

$20 is not comparable to $1. You must be so privileged to be able to say that... or to deny a free $20 and call anyone who would accept it an immoral being... "I'm sorry so many of you are apparently that broke." Fuck you.

How ignorant and ethnocentric. No one language is easier or harder to learn than others. It's all relative. For an English speaker it may be easier to learn German or French because they share a history together. But for a Chinese speaker English is bat-shit crazy, because English is a bat-shit crazy language. Unless…

Why couldn't they eat that giant troll instead of the deer? So much more meat. Plus! Trolls are delicious.

“My life is so horrible because I live in a castle!”

Sounds like this would make an interesting post-colonial read. Definitely something I’ll be looking into. Have you considered how the intended audience affects the text? In other words, is this a game aimed at an American audience, operating under the framework of Western Hegemony, perhaps subject to cultural…

No, and that’s okay. It is obsolete. The world changes and we don’t need to despair. It is neither getting better or worse, just different.

As well as Borderlands, Sherlock Holmes, and Supreme Commander 2. Last month we got Gears 2, month before Deus Ex. PS-Plus has been consistently dissapointing since I got it (except for Grim Fandango!)

$18 won’t even get you a 1.5 hr movie on blu-ray when its first out.
