Thanks! I wasn't sure how they were handling it, because I knew originally they were completely separate, but then it seemed like they came back together in more recent updates.

This is in the same continuity as Enemy Unknown, right? Any idea if these are different aliens, or a reimagined look?

See, that's a perfectly reasonable explanation, if an incredibly condescending one. Your ex was a loser. I'm sorry about that, but your attitude is pretty unwarranted.

Well, thanks for that clear attempt to troll me and a perfect example of anecdotal evidence turning into a pervasive and disgusting stereotype. I'll bite. I could tell you stories of my vapid or selfish ex-girlfriends with various interests or ways they identified themselves, but that in no way would say anything…

Thanks! We actually just got married in April. It's been a great few months.

Honestly, I knew my wife was the one when she asked if I wanted to go inside to play Mario Kart.

I'm one of those much reviled 'gamers' ;)

Ah, that's why. 'Dudes who hang around sports bars' isn't exactly an enlightened cross section of the male demographic :)

Guys are intimidated by that? Who are you trying to talk to, because these guys seem really pathetic.

Haha, one of my best friends loves playing as Yoshi AND El Fuente, and is pretty good at both.

I'd email nintendo.

'Sack up'? Pretty tough language for a guy who likes Pokemon :)

You have to remember, these 'reviews' aren't meant to be serious. He's playing on the fact that he's terrible at video games and has no idea what he's doing.

Let's be real here. I'm a 27 year old man. I will pull up alongside or outside the Gamestop while in wi-fi range and download it from my car, if this is the case.

So how is that Torchic being distributed? Do I have to go to a gamestop or is it an online download?

When I worked in 'the city', I worked with a primarily black clientel with primarily black coworkers. It was interesting to see the huge difference of perception in what was considered 'nerdy'. Video games weren't an aberration - otherwise 'cool' guys loved Street Fighter, and my boss (a Former City Firefighter)…

This guy's opening is spot-on for most 'black nerds' I know. I think Star Trek had the most lasting impact on nerdyness in black culture. An entire generation grew up with parents who revered Star Trek as a milestone, or grew up watching Sci-Fi as the example for a better society that didn't discriminate. I think…

So I'm confused. Is this a true prequel to Enemy Unknown? Because as that title suggests, X-Com has no idea what the Aliens are in that game, otherwise it wouldn't be quite as much of a mystery.

This inspection didn't happen in the last two days (it takes longer than that to close a place), and most likely had nothing to do with politics. I work with the inspector's counterparts in my state, and they are underfunded and understaffed, and their inspections are behind by months. None of them have time for any…

Look up some of Patrick Stewart's speeches on it. They're pretty touching.
