Well said.

Nah it's fine as is.

It would be hilarious to change the defeat animation to the small pokemon being quickly disintegrated until only a skeleton remains. Also, they should have named "Sleepy" to something like "Ramatorguth, Harbinger of Death."

With the holidays coming up, it's time to dance for the elder gods...

Cue the "I don't have any idea why people wanted a person of color cast" apparently. It isn't whitewashing as Dr. Strange was never a person of color. It is an objection to the tired old Mighty Whitey trope. White guy goes to exotic foreign place where people of color are and just so happens to proves he is the best…

Same response as I had to Scarlet Johannsen being Motoko in a live action GitS film:

People commonly to listen / value the opinions of people like them, so these folks probably thought they were showing their fellow white people the contrast between how the justice system treats whites vs. how it treats minorities.

I honestly don't get the hype behind ban lists and tiers, i play the game for how it was intended, for funsies, but i guess that makes me a simple gamer who just enjoy's a good RPG game. (with fun online modes)

Oh great, I look forward to the military selling their surplus exosuits to local police forces in a few years. Superpowered cops, that's just what we need.

Many many moons ago, as I vaguely recall, I visited East Africa for a conference. To my surprise Richard Leakey attended after having returned from yet another stint in the Turkana region. There was quite the debate, as in those years several teams of researchers had uncovered fossilised footprints of both proto-human…

I just finished the artwork on my annual gift calendar, and I've been working all damn night trying to set up a Big Cartel store to sell it along with a couple of comics I finished last year. I still have to fold and staple the damn thing, and make paypal decide to start working but I WILL GET THERE.

I'm currently five hours away from submitting my final, capstone thesis on how Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's blurring of fiction and reality in their works allows for new reinterpretations of Shakespeare and his plays. It's a joy (I'm about eight seconds away from crying right now).

Well, casting is currently underway on the audio drama I wrote. It's called The Hero Next Door

it's not the ponies' fault, it's the bronies' fault

I don't think anyone actually hates the show, but the fandom of adult males who watch it and defend it awkwardly.

I'm not one of them, but there are people who resent Firefly because of how strongly the fans advocate the show. In fact, I would argue that a lot of the most unfair backlashes against works of science fiction and fantasy are actually backlashes against the fans rather than the work itself because science fiction and…

Stephen King's books. Like Dickens, Poe, and Shakespeare. Popular trash become future classics.

I actually think they'll be reading some very different set of books that became popular in 30 to 40 years time. Just looking at some of the Best of Books and Movies lists, you get a lot of films like Citizen Kane and books like The Great Gatsby that weren't super popular when they first came out, but some quirk in…

Deal with it.
