Eh. For a while, it genuinely did look like Bioware was headed that way because the Bioware Docs presided over some supreme brand dilution that involved slapping their name on a lot of trash like TOR.

Yeah, I mean, why would anyone actually read a literary novel, or watch a serious film, or read nonfiction? Those are all such dumb, dumb things to do.

There's an episode where a thinly veiled version of Jezebel, Joan of Snark, calls out Liz Lemon for having a writers room full of guys, a predominantly male cast, etc. This sets in motion a plot where Liz accidentally reunites a woman with her abusive former partner in the name of feminism.

It was like Austin Powers only consistently entertaining.

The thing that will never cease to surprise me is that /v/ was actually calling for pretty much this exact same list for years, particularly more practical armor, more people of colour, and less weird porny shit. There are dozens and dozens of image macros about how boring the bland, white, short-haired soldierbro…

On the other hand, this is Anthony Burch.

The only thing I'm getting from this outside what's already common knowledge is that you think we should believe preview blurbs about *EXCITEMENT* and *PRIDE* and whatever... which is such bullshit when you have people like Josh Sawyer, you know, actually talented devs, talking about how all they can ever see in their…

Well, y'know, what the hell would we white people do if we had to respect nonwhite gatherings and spaces? Surrender some of our delicious privilege? That's insane!

The problem with Larry, IMO, isn't just that he's unlikeable... it's that he's gratuitously unlikable. The sense I got is that they included him because he's in the book, but real Larry is too nice and supportive to really be much other than dead weight. So they made him a dick and then never seemed to know what to do…

Eh. 4 and 2 are both better than 3. 3 just has more content than 4 because of where it's at in its development cycle.

As it's airborne, you could take a cue from Japanese commuters and wear a surgical mask.

I dunno, it reminded me too much of David Cage (and has too many of the same flaws as his games, including a tin ear for dialogue).

I seem to recall that at one point they said that they didn't intend to release anything substantial until after W3 shipped. They basically announced as soon as they had the property sorted out, hence the teaser basically being a scene from one of the rulebooks.

It was actually part of a slate of anti-porn shows that were dreamt up as part of an attempt by formerly edgy broadcaster Channel 4 to align itself with the feminist anti-porn crusader Gail Dines.

I've heard that part of why they're together is that he has some weird sex stuff going on (nothing fucked up, just like, idiosyncratic) that she's willing to indulge. Plus he's always had a thing for alt-pixies.

The all-female Ghostbusters are a travesty though... because of the casting. Dump Melissa McCarthy and Kate McKinnon, bring on Mindy Kaling and Casey Wilson.

No, it's just not really inclusive and you're not allowed to add new monologues.

Madam Xanadu as a period piece or bust.

Really the optimal GTA experience would be something that ditches the Michael Mann homages and just imitates the TV version of Fargo: Occasional set pieces in the midst of big cities, but the real emphasis is on a cluster of well-realized small towns.

Eh. Other games have done it with minimal bitching. Just replace the endless ocean with endless desert highway, and set up some kind of roadblock/restricted airspace dealy.
